The Solar Warrior: The Eclipse

“The Eclipse examines the results of what occurs when the solar light disappears from the culture, which it did after the death of the Knights Templar, and the ascendancy of dark and destructive forces. While certain esoteric orders attempted to sustain the light, slowly the encroachment of humanism and infiltration of rationalist transformed the initiatory process into one of false gnosis. The old guilds, crafts and artisans were replaced with industrialisation with its focus on productivity and efficiency alone. As industrialisation increased, steam, oil and other so called signs of progress demanded greater means of organisation and through the manipulation of populations the super States were formed regulated by the techno-system which professing differences of left and right was essentially the same in application. Communism emphasises collectivism and capitalism rabid individualism but both are products of the technicians worldview where productivity, efficiency and money matter most. As part of this model all differences, all variations and all inequalities between individuals and groups are resisted so everything can be reduced to the ruthless vision of consumerism. Fernandez then begins his exploration of science, physics and the principles of life, chaos theory and information theory. It is certainly a complex and demanding study which will take quite some effort to master, but is certainly with the effort. The sun being the symbol of the warrior is then explored in science and mythology, followed by a perceptive study of the nature of language in the modern world, the nature of poetry and the relation of language to the techno-system. More importantly is how the hero can use the techno-system and awaken the solar warrior within. (…) The Solar Warrior is a breath of fresh air in a world dominating by consumerism and self-indulgence and when honour and integrity are rare qualities. Our modern world is so saturated with reductionism and materialism it is difficult for many to even consider another way. Solar Warrior is a powerful expression of the warrior ethos, and at the same time Fernandez is able to express this gnosis in such a way that it is more easily approached and digested (…) It exalts us with a vision of nobility while offering an astounding critique of the modern world” Living Traditions Magazine.
