Political Perennialism is an ongoing project. Its aim is to develop a comprehensive and systematic political theory grounded on and consistent with the Perennialist School of Philosophy, as represented by René Guénon and Frithjof Schuon. In summary, the objectives of this project are fourfold. Firstly, to explain why modern political arrangements are illegitimate, indefensible and unsalvageable. Secondly, to present and defend the essential and universal features of Traditional political forms. Thirdly, to convince you, my reader, that a restoration of these Traditional political forms is beyond the realm of possibility at the current historical juncture. Fourthly, and practically, to urge you to seek your salvation, fulfil your responsibilities towards whomever you have them, and to insulate yourselves from the oncoming chaos.

"A quickened awareness, this is the primary need. the alternative to its awakening is to pay the price which, when viewed on a world scale, is represented by the twofold possibility of mass destruction, Mara's fiery volley, and the would-be creation of a fool's paradise upon this earth, one in which human 'welfare' is conceived as being actually realizable minus any spiritual norm, the old seduction by Mara's daughters presented in up-to-date disguise; nor is it even certain which of these two possibilities offers in the long run the more terrifying prospect." - Marco Pallis

The Matrix, The Terminator, 2001: A Space Odyssey, arguably Frankenstein; humanity has been producing horror stories about AI turning on us for much longer than AI has existed. And yet the lesson of these stories has fallen on deaf ears. In light of this, it is truly foolish to believe that any restoration is possible before this Manvantara is complete.
