RETURN:TRUE; A(nother) Numantian Manifesto

Numantianism is a cultural revolution young & tenebrous in origin. Some have marked it as the return of the old Temple Zero cabal (Marlo), altho' others have measured it a distinct entity or an aberration. It is more than likely it's pattern emerged when House Sul broke the dream-weir over the Valus Mts., their perilous, tho' advanced akasha spilling over into the Cyrodiils' dream-sleeves, awakening new (& prescient) thought ministrations, often rapt with querulous mutation symbolism (Bos-Huul). It has been credited as the first true anarchist rebellion, a revolution of thought, of a mindful exaltation (Nikodiil). It may be seen to intersect with, not encompass, various political or artistic cells to have formulated within the past 3 or 4 decades- Amaranthites, Thule Frontsmen, Sons of Hora, Varenites, etc.- but bears no internal structure nor organization to-date, as, its advocates maintain, is best (Morag).

A Selected Extract from Ben Skottius Numius, Lord Viatis, Councilman Aleshut's Address to the river-drakes, anent the Question of The Sovereignty of the Individual in the Return Theogony:

If an Absolute Reality may be said to exist:

The individual is an amusing myth.

There is no Absolute.

That is: the only absolute is Nothing.

Reality is Oblivion.

We are a myth.

We are a most important myth.

For only by our shared illusory substance, infinitely permutated, vindicated by interpretation- of what?- of itself- the ultimately mutable: void-naught- is something made from Nothing.

We are the ex nihilo.

Thus, We are God,

the God that existeth in innumerable refraction, realizing itself by infinite promulgation.

Life- all Life- is Godly.

All Life is an heavenward motion.

Paradise, notwithstanding refutation: when all the dead & the living are the same;

per reflection, God perceives itself with perfect clarity, harmony of Tones, transcending Myth & Oblivion, becomes the Answer,

RETURNS TRUE.

Numerous manifestos, platforms & social theories have been set down in its influence, but its precise ideology- if such can even be extant- is so nebulous & all-inviting, the movement has become a bastion for the nadir-dwellers of bigots, reactionaries, paranoid or conspiracy-minded, nationalists & continentalists alike, the hyper-violent, dangerously mis-guided. And yet, as its defenders hasten to lobby, many proponents enumerate themselves the poets, the artists & philosophers, the most peaceable & idealistic statesmen wishing to change the Empire for the best & wisest, for a coda to our self-destruction.
