Orthodox Christianity and European Biospirit

European peoples come from the smallest continent of scarce resources with no true barrier for entry from invaders pouring in from the far or near East, yet we’ve punched far above our weight in innovation and the creation of culture.

We live in spite of war. We live because of war.

We live in spite of peace. We live because of peace.

In a land with a third of the world’s natural resources, European peoples ushered in a hegemony the world has never before seen, albeit compromised by a different class of hostile controllers.

The Nuremberg regime has even infiltrated people’s understanding of Christianity. Many view Christianity as something that makes “biospirit” “obsolete” or even “nonexistent,” when it in fact is right below Faith in the hierarchy of importance for every man.

This is essentially a communist subversion of the perception of Christianity for the general Western populace administered by a regime that has sought increasing atomization of a man through means both post-modern and nefarious.

It states that due to the salvation of Christians by the forgiveness of our God, that all things material are ultimately of no importance due to their finite nature. This includes the reality and mystery of races and their respective cultures that show statistically backed differences and preferences across multiple metrics.

For Europeans, whether in Europe or elsewhere, melancholia laces everything for us. We can not gaze abroad while atop a vista point in the mountains, contemplate the grandeur of our Lord, or internalize the dissatisfaction of our personal achievements never being good enough without this melancholic state. This is the European existence. Bathed in twilight at every turn whether in literal dusk or under hard sun at mid-day.

In the Orthodox Christian world, one does not find an atomizing strain of Christianity that doesn’t account for the material world that our Lord viewed with such grave importance as to take material form in order to save the souls of all humankind.

The Greeks have their origins in the Hellenic cultural past that engulfed Europe, an origin that still permeates through their veins. Their theologians and temperaments have lent themselves to insights of the Holy Mysteries that could only be brought from people indigenous to a land that is equal parts festive and contemplative.

The Russians are vital and hyper-disciplined in their approach to the Christian Faith that peers into their psyches mounded by harsh winters, brutal given circumstances in the context of sustenance, and a willingness to suffer wars by the hands of both foreign nations invading from every direction and their own corrupted government in order to preserve their devotion to God at all costs. Such discipline has been the awe of even the Greek monks on Mount Athos who swore they experienced Heaven when witnessing the Russian praxis of Faith in their respective monastery on the Holy Mountain. Christianity was almost wiped from the Russian world through the yoke of Communism killing over 100,000 clergy, destroying 10,000 churches, and the killing of millions of Christians. And yet, thousands of churches have been rebuilt, church attendance is rising, and Orthodoxy is being promoted by Vladimir Putin from Moscow to Vladivostok.

The Aleutians were instructed by Russian missionaries to not “Russify” themselves in their conversion to the Christian Faith. They received the Bible and the Liturgy in their native language and even began to make Christian totem poles as opposed to ones rooted in Pagan animism.

Orthodoxy understands that biospirit is real, and the it is indeed one of the mysteries of God in his creation of different races, cultures, and temperaments. It does not attempt to choose a particular nation’s culture or a Godless anti-culture to atomize all nations under one culture, but recognizes the highest notch in the hierarchy of being is the Christian Faith, and second is the expression of biospirit that helps to fully internalize the Christian Faith.

In the rise of American Orthodoxy, American chants are emerging in West Virginia that are beginning to slowly but surely inhabit the second notch on the hierarchy in relation to the lives of American Orthodox Christians.

Pan-European culture is what makes American culture. One will find a new subdivision of biospirit when a people settles in a foreign land in significant enough numbers. Boers are Dutchmen of South Africa, and the various Europeans of Argentina have produced unique cultural fruits in dance and farming. In the case of America, the American biospirit is almost exclusively stemming from heritage Anglo-Saxons with some exceptions of other significant diaspora from Spain, France, and the Netherlands that have been in America for a long enough time. But the bulk of American biospirit is Anglo-Saxon, and the sound of the aforementioned West-Virginian Orthodox Christian chants is undeniably Anglo-American.

I don’t have a drop of Anglo-Saxon blood coursing through my veins, and I’m the first generation in my family to be both born and raised in the United States. My mother was born in the United States but was raised in multiple places internationally, and my father was born abroad but raised in New York City.

I was born and raised in California, which is far removed from the strongholds of Americana in the South and the East Coast. Yet I can feel chills hearing this music, as I was raised in a country that was founded by Anglo-Saxons who created the original American biospirit that shaped our nation.

To pretend this is not a variable in the way nothing is objectively not rooted in any kind of reality, and it is a tell-tale sign of the effectiveness of the post-modern Nuremberg truth that strips man of the key elements that put him at ease by subconsciously telling him who he is: Faith, race, and custom in that order.
