a silent revolution that reaches the depths, so that first inside and in the individual the prerequisites to that order are met that will dominate on the outside at the right moment, by replacing in a flash the form and forces of a ruined and corrupt world...
Act, without heeding the fruits, without letting the prospects of success or failure, victory or loss influence you, nor even joy or pain, or the approval and rejection of others...
Be whole, even in fragments, be upright, even when bent
legionary spirit - The attitude of him who can choose the hardest life, who is able to continue fighting even when he knows that the battle is naterially lost, who holds to the ancient precept that ´loyalty is mightier than fire´and who carries the traditional idea of honor and dishonor within.
This attitude creates a substantial, even existential difference between men, almost as though between one race and another.
The style that must assert itself is the style of one who remains strong in his position of loyalty to himself and to an idea, a strength marked by concentrated intensity, resistance to any compromise, as well as a total engagement that shows in every phase of existence.
Tradition as we understand it is that which is most revolutionary in the face of today´s prevailing values.
FIRE IN ICE, ICE IN FIRE, THE EAGLE´S CRY, THE DEMON OF ACTION
