Nice picture of Mont-Saint-Michel Abbey. I have visited this place. It is very beautiful. As a tourist, I have often visited churches and cathedrals because of their beauty. When I visited the Cathedral of Siena in Italy, I felt bad for the first time to visit such a holy place as a tourist. I wondered what I would feel like to attend a church service in this magnificent building. Maybe this was my first step to a resacralization.
Very good. Brought me back to a time when I was living in an abandoned factory and read Scruton’s The Soul of the world. The Sacred was what I needed. Started going to Mass and shortly was confirmed in the Church. Thanks.
God Bless you! I love that book, and I am not surprised it was able to touch someone who needed to hear what it had to say. Would you mind if I shared this comment as a note?
I was looking forward to reading this. Nicely put. The comment regarding confession really spoke to me and my experience as well - of course I believe in the Catholic faith, but I have to remind myself often that it is actually true, every second of every day, that God really does hear me and that there really is eternal life, enjoyed by some this very moment. What excuse then do we have to not be saints? I do believe, help my unbelief!
Eva! So good to hear from you. I know, you inspired this post. I went to share it with you and saw your account had been deleted. I am glad you were able to read it.
I absolutely feel what you do. I think we all do, especially living in the West. But I have found that living in community with friends is so powerful for keeping myself oriented in the right space.
Excellent article. It brings together several threads that have been on my mind lately - the missing sense of “enchantment” and the transcendent in our post-modern world, the need for our Christian faith to be sacramental and not merely propositional, the necessity of dying in order to truly live. Your point about Petersonian philosophy not being sufficient was well-taken.
You might like the book “How (Not) to be Secular” by James K.A. Smith. Just recently finished it, and it touched on many of the themes of this article.
I really enjoy your work, Sanfed; and I am more than happy to slowly become Jungerpilled. Thanks for writing this piece.
There is more coming, do not fret. Thank you.

A wonderful thought. I have not been able to visit Mont-Saint-Michel but I look forward to doing so. Truly a breathtaking and world-expanding image.

No problem, brother. Go ahead!

Mont Saint Michel, quite possibly the most beautiful man made structure ever created
Loved your essay, I find Jünger an intriguing thinking who I'd like to read more of. Subscribed
