Of The Culture of The Breakaway Civilization

                    In yesterday's blog I discussed how the body politic of the Breakaway Civilization resembles the structure of a secret society.  This has profound implications for the culture of the Breakaway Civilization.  If the Breakaway Civilization is to operate in complete secrecy it would have to be killing or ensuring silence from members that leave the group or threaten its secrecy.  This means that these Breakaway groups have claimed the same sovereignty as a nation state because these groups have power over the life and death of its members.  While it is possible that some members of the Breakaway Civilization are incoherent, narcissistic socio-paths.  It is evident that some of the members could be part of an ancient esoteric tradition that has been passed down for many thousands of years.  In other words, its possible that some members of the Breakaway Civilization are alchemist or magicians that see the world and human beings as having both spiritual and materials qualities.  These alchemist and magicians ,if they exist, do not separate the spiritual from the material and its possible these members are part of secret societies outside of the Breakaway Civilization.  These secret societies outside of the Breakaway Civilization may include esoteric lodges that appeared in Europe and North America in the early 1900s.  Also, some of these secret societies may have been groups of alchemist and magicians that carrying on esoteric traditions going back to ancient times.  While it is uncertain whether or not such groups exist, there is evidence that secret societies may have been carrying on ancient esoteric doctrine.
              Western Esotericism is a movement that has its origins back to the Hellenistic Eastern Mediterranean, then it continued into the middle ages and the renaissance period as the works of ancient Greek and Roman philosophers were translated before its emergence from the enlightenment as a "modernist occult" movement, and finally in the early 20th century it became a multi-disciplinary subject in America that encompasses theology, alchemy, and the arts used primarily to study the impact of esotericism on Western culture and religion.  It is important to note the medieval Greeks and Byzantines of South Eastern Europe never lost ancient Greek and Roman tradition, so they would have indeed been able to carry on the esoteric traditions of the ancient Greeks and Romans.  Also, Western Esotericism includes the tribal religions that most of ancient Europe had before the spread of Christianity throughout the early Middle Ages.  Indeed, these esoteric traditions combined with those of ancient of ancient Greece and Rome had a profound impact on Christianity and Western culture.  This subject is often refered to as Western Esotericism and few scholars still study it to this day.  In my view, the "modernist occult movement" is evidence that these ancient esoteric traditions were indeed passed down and perhaps even practiced by secret societies.  While it is unknown whether or not these secret societies influenced or even infiltrated the Breakaway Civilization.  It is safe to hypothesize that at the very least ancient esoteric doctrine may have had an influence on the Breakaway Civilization at one point in time.
