Notes -
I picked up The Universal State of America: An Archetypal Calculus of Western Civilisation by Simon Sheridan on @thejdrizzler 's recommendation, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
It definitely has me thinking of my own life from a Jungian archetype perspective and whether I've actually completely transcended the orphan stage into adulthood especially since the transitional, exoteric societal rites don't seem to exist, or have any meaning. I also just got to the section about the increase of Sage's who are disconnected from the cultural milieu and because the "magic" is gone from the societal rites it causes them to question the societal metaphysics. I can clearly see the parallel with a lot of the dissident right and woke left that gets discussed on here.
Definitely worth the pickup!
