Comments on Ernst Jünger - ANARCH: Standing on one's own two feet

Nothing personal, Ernest Miralles, but I am always disgusted when I come across to someone's attempt to Americanize something that is ontologically European and thus ontologically anti-American.

No offense, I just wanted to make my comment on that.

Scholem is a hero of mine, I will certainly look into this correspondence.

Gnosticism is a fascinating topic; in a sense they may have been the original anarchs:

"The gnostic admits that the bishop, like the demiurge, exercises legitimate authority over most Christians--those who are uninitiated. But the bishop's demands, warnings, and threats, like those of the

It is the situation that Kirkegaard called "øjeblikket" (translated as something like "The moment, or "the here and now")

Thanks Benjaminista! I'm watching your blog as I'm very interested in the israeli world and the complicated effort to remain an Anarch in there.

Referring to the Anarch we can find related topics in Harold Bloom's The American Religion, as he asserts that this oneself into the big oneself, the exiled one, the diamantine personality of the Anarch has become a sort of 'religious

Thanks Benjaminista, I look forward to taking a close look at your blog. There is much I need to learn about Judaism, Zionism, Israel.

By the way, if you read German you might be interested in the recent flurry of news about Ernst Jünger´s correspondence with Gershom Scholem. Google it and you may come up with something in english.

I like your work here. I am exploring similar ideas to that of the "anarch" from a Jewish perspective at http://state-of-exile.blogspot.com/ - specifically, Judaism as anarcho-monarchism (God being the only monarch, institutions and ideologies being false idols).

I don't think Jünger believed in the possibility of liberty and freedom for all - that would be utopistic, idealistic, and neither Jünger nor the anarch are that.

The anarch believes freedom is something the individual can strive for, perhaps the highest result he can work for. But it is a personal effort and a personal reward that has nothing whatsoever to do with political parties or

2009-05-18T17:02:00.000+02:00

I admit that Anarch searchs a wider field of freedom in this economic catastrophe, a will of measuring his own forces, a track to say No and Yes as the Anarch fits both in the system and is innerly an outcast. By this means the Anarch strenghtens himself in the keep of order or his attainment to it and his look of Freedom. But...

As I could remark that this Yes to the system can be

I definitly relate. The Anarch lives after the maxim of reducing to the minmum and needed while living to the maximum.

Live and let live.

I would love to discuss more about the spiritual part of the Anarch. Jünger definitly touches the subject in his notes about prayer, and about the magick & mystic related characters in the book.
