| | Western mystery tradition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | After the dark ages, the preservation of the secret teachings of the Western mystery tradition was endangered again during the Second world war, due to the Nazi regime in Third Reich's Germany. | | | It is also possible that the Arabs may have had preserved some of the secrets into some of their Islamic traditions. | | | Some people believe that certain traditions may have been imported to Egypt from the "lost continent" of Atlantis. |

| | Action, Contemplation and the Western Tradition |
| | Moreover, Christianity cannot claim, with respect to the West, the character of a native tradition, congenital to its races, as is the case for, for instance, Brahmanism for Hindus, Islam for the Arabs, or the whole Far-Eastern tradition. | | | The human, devotional plane, or rather the plane of theological speculation onto which these traditional traces have been transposed and within which they have been preserved, is not a plane on which they can be completely validated. | | | This is why we think that, in regard to the 'modern world' and to the 'Christian world', it would be risky to speak, in general, of a 'Western tradition'. |

| | The roots of Arab Anti-Semitism - Radical Islam’s favorite Western tradition. By David Greenberg |
| | Whereas in Israel, as in other Western countries, overt bigotry is scolded, ignored, or kept out of politics, mainstream Arab culture promotes extreme anti-Semitic ideas through schools, newspapers, television, popular culture, and official ideology. | | | Nationalism served to justify the repression of “alien” peoples, especially Jews—not just in eastern Europe, where Jews lived in ghettos, insulated from their Polish or Russian compatriots, but even in Western Europe, where many Jews were assimilated and considered themselves full citizens of their countries. | | | This new form of ideological anti-Semitism—seeing the Jews as an alien and inferior people amid Christian European nations—finally got its name in 1879, thanks to an Austrian journalist named Wilhelm Marr. |

| | Moreover, I don't claim to have discovered one of the eight immutable truths, and I don't offer this material to you as a rule by which to walk. | | | I caution you that the treatment is not at all comprehensive, consisting of a small sample of Jewish and Christian sources, sharply skewed toward the contemplative and Quaker texts that I know best. | | | (Why cut yourself off from k'dusha which is, if not the goal, a principal means to it?) In this tradition, a Jew who goes barefoot anticipates the coming of Moshiach who will resanctify the corrupted earth. |

| | In addition, Western culture has been the setting for repeated acts of barbarism: persecutions of certain groups such as Jews, or accused heretics and witches. | | | Yet it has also been characterized by widespread belief in the supernatural and the irrational—with mystics who have visions of the divine, and with entire movements of people who wait in fervent anticipation of the apocalypse. | | | The "terror of history," according to Professor Teofilo F. Ruiz, is a deeply held belief—dating from the ancient Greeks to Nietzsche and beyond—that the world is essentially about disorder and emptiness and that human beings live constantly on the edge of doom. |

| | Golden Dawn Research Center - The Four Elements in the Western Tradition |
| | This view may have been derived from Babylonian traditions, which placed the Watery Deities Apsu and Tiamat at the beginning of all things. | | | Indeed there is a tendency to connate or confuse pneuma or spirit with intellect in both the Western and Hindu tradition. | | | Earth also implies the inevitable limitations of physical existence, the birth into a physical body, despised by those with transcendental aspirations, and thus grossly undervalued by the alliance of Christian tradition and Aristotlean distinction between spirit and matter. |
