The following text, which Evola wrote in 1959, was the introduction to an Italian translation of the Tao-Te-Ching. Since Western civilization has already reached the lowest stage of its decadence, Evola sees hope for a partial restoration by pursuing the elements necessary to acquire personal realisation. These elements are to be found in a now remote tradition.
In the following, Evola explains the quest for a direct relationship with the Supernatural dimension and its origin, but without the 'mediation' of any religion. This is an introduction to a method of reintegrating one's true 'self' and true 'centre'. At least this will be pertinent for the specific human type who still possesses, though in a latent state, the sense of transcendence.
