The metaphysical

Time and space identify materiality, which is limited by those conditions that constitute its nature. For beyond the world of sensation it would be incorrect to speak of time, space or any other limitations. According to traditional doctrine, matter and becoming correspond to that which changes and can be identified with disorder, multiplicity and division, i.e., the world that is subject to the cycle of birth, growth and death. By contrast, that which is sacred is associated with being, order and harmony. The sacred, in the mind of those capable of feeling and recognising it, constitutes the most genuine expression of reality: a model handed down by divinity, ancestors or mythical heroes, which must be accepted and scrupulously followed. When the sacred is lacking, what remains is something transient, illusory and meaningless. Tradition is eternal, universal, and those capable of open to all understanding and experiencing it. Diversities in language, customs, laws or religions do not contradict the underlying unity of Tradition. What changes is only the way in which Truth is expressed: as its essence remains unvaried, each traditional form can be seen as a specific adaptation of the primordial Tradition out of which all traditions derive.Raido «A Handbook of Traditional Living», a publication that consists of two texts originally published by the Italian cultural organisation Raido.
