Thumotic spirituality isn't for everyone.
It isn't for those at home in the status quo of the Western industrialized culture- capitalists and their machine-like factory workers building widgets and providing services in compliance with productivity numbers.
It isn't for those at home in the Western monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam in which adherents alienate themselves from non-believers as well as the rest of nature.
Neither is it for those who seek an escape from Western industrialized and monotheistic culture by turning to Eastern religious ways and looking inward.
Thumotic spirituality is for those who can no longer deny the denial of life, destruction, depletion, depression, disease, and death in the wake of the so-called "progress" of Western civilization.
It's for those seeking a life-affirming alternative within Western civilization.
It's for those who value life, all of life, and want to engage in rather than escape from it.
It's for those courageous enough to be responsible for their own life in relation with others, blaze their own path out of the Western status quo, and shift the momentum of Western civilization, one person, one step, at a time.
