A kind of "mindful war" is raging over the panet today. It can be called propaganda war, info war, culture war, frequency war, silent war etc. Probably the best term for it is ASTRAL WAR.

That is the title of the book at hand. The full title is: Astral War - Your Soul Is the Battlefield.

What, then, is this "astral war"?

It is a war for your soul. Your soul is the battlefield.

Astral war is about how you react to the world -- how you react to news, stuff around you. It is about things manipulated to make you feel this and that way.

It is the realm of psy-ops and 4g warfare.

It is the "Kulturkampf" of today taking place on the net, in media -- everywhere. The war between globalism and nationalism, modernism and traditionalism.

Predominantly, this is a mindful war -- essentially, a war for your soul.

The chapters of the book treat stuff like "war as being," "holism," "the role of art," "od, ka chi, vril," "superman musings," et cetera. The conceptual terminology is based on Actionism. If you've read that one, this will be rather familiar territory for you.

The publisher is the same as with Actionism, Rigorism, Commanders, et cetera. That is, Manticore Press of Australia.

The format of the book is 5 x 8 inches, a little smaller than the usual trade paper back: very elegant. The page count is 170.

In all it is a beautiful typographical product with a specially designed cover, the image of Sagittarius very aptly summarizing it all. Like, the author's star sign is Sagittarius and he has always been interested in "things astral", like sf. This book isn't sf but it has a chapter about sf supermen, like Gil Gosseyn and Donal Graeme, comparing them to Nietzsche's superman ideology.

Other than that the book refers to greats like Mishima, William Blake, Bertil Malmberg, Jünger, Albert Pike, Bulwer-Lytton, Thoth, Flann O'Brien, and many more.

This is a classic in being. No other living author could have written it. This is traditonalism with an edge, this is a unique take on the current zeitgeist. We are living in the era of "propaganda war, info war, culture war" and this book tries to capture it all in a succinct formula.
