Myth to Power · the core transmission

Myth is a path to power.

In Genesis 30, Jacob sets peeled rods before Laban’s breeding flock and the lambs are born speckled — a parable of cultural determination, where what impresses the eye enters the mind and changes the future.

Stories and images teach people whom to admire, imitate, love, and become. Myth to Power calls the deliberate racial use of that power REM: myth, religion, and art consciously designed to form and empower a people or class, invariably at another type’s expense. JEM names its Jewish or Proto-Jewish direction; AIM names its Aryan direction. Apolloism is the creative program built from AIM: place Apollo — the highest, ever-ameliorating element of the Aryan race — as hero and telos, and make art and religion prophecies of victory.

How the book makes it visible

Jacob, Pygmalion, and the monolith

Jacob's flock, Pygmalion, and the monolith each show the same movement: an image enters attention, directs desire and conduct, and helps make its ideal real.

Where it leads

From REM to Apolloism

REM names that fashioning. JEM and AIM name its competing racial directions. Apolloism is the creative program that places Apollo at the center and makes art a prophecy of victory.
