The creed is called Actionism since we all have to act.
That is, you might think that you can live without acting -- living like a recluse, the "vita contemplativa" doing nothing.
This is an illusion.
We all have to act. Even the placid recluse, the mild-mannered hermit spending his day meditating.
Because, we all have to sustain our bodies. We all have to breathe, drink and eat.
Thus, we all have to act.
Thus, "we are all Actionists". We all live a "vita activa".

For starters, this book sketches essential reality, all founded in perennial thought. Then, an ethic is delieanted on the basis of this, having willpower, reason and passion to the fore. It's about "memento mori", "action as being" and "winning as propensity" and other arousing memes.
Next the book looks at the "actionist" aspects of the life and thought of d'Annunzio, T. E. Lawrence, Castaneda and Julius Evola.
The following chapters deliberate on how to conduct operations -- military, intelligence, catering etc.
The book also looks at how to arrange an Actionist society. And there are chapters on history, the impossibility today of major war, Antropolis and other pertinent stuff.

A summary of the Actionist philosophy is this:
Actionism is about summoning your Will to lead your Thought, merging the two to Will-Thought and affirming the Inner Light, a spark of the Divine Light. To all this, saying “I AM” is the performative confirmation.- - -

Hey. Just found out about your blog while looking about stuff about Castaneda, and got interested by your book. Is it available in ebook? I can't afford to pay for the physical book.
Hello anonymous, thank you for the comment. As for e-book version of Actionism, there isn't any. I'm sorry.
