David Myatt - "The Numinous Way"

"The Numinous Way"

Myatt describes the Numinous Way as "the result of a four-decade long pathei-mathos and the often difficult process of acknowledging my many personal mistakes", and writes that it is an apolitical, and individual, way of life, based on empathy and πάθει μάθος, where race and the concept of the folk not only have no place but are regarded as unethical abstractions. Myatt states that "Empathy may be said to be the quintessence of The Numinous Way. From and because of empathy, there is and there arises compassion, and thus the... desire to cease to cause suffering."

Myatt links his Numinous Way to Hellenistic philosophy and places it in the Western philosophical tradition.
