Many within the Odinist/Asatru movement have asked why we use the term Vril to describe the Life Force of the Gods. If you examine the many different organizations, especially those that explore both Galder and Seither magick, they will touch on the subject of this Life Force, but few ever really get into a deep examination of just what it is. Some groups will refer to it as the "Odic" force, a term used by Karl von Reichenbach. Some simply refer to it as ond, the vital breath of Odin. But whatever name these groups refer to it as, they only touch on it in passing. This is a vital mistake for the understanding of what this force is and its nature and role in the cosmology of the Elder Tradition.
Other traditions have referred to it by many different names. The Chinese refer to it as chi, the Hindi as prana, the Japanese as reiki, the Romans referred to it as Rhea Kybele, which means "the rolling astral light.
The Church of Vrilology uses the term "Vril" because it’s very name has deep, runic magick that I will reveal in the principles of Runic Physics. Vril has used as a term to describe this Life Force by the Rosicrucians, a Germanic esoteric society, related to the masons and eventually made it a popular term during the 19th century, when the Rosicrucian, Edward George Bulwer-Lytton wrote his novel, Vril: The Power of the Coming Race.
In The Coming Race, Bulwer-Lytton explains that the Vril-ya (a race of super beings who learn to master Vril) speaks an "original language." They are described as descended from the ancient Aryans.
Most of us here speak about ourselves quite often. It is very difficult to communicate without doing so, it seems. @Brian I had forgotten truly how wise you really are and I am sorry. It seems I personally have my head up my butt more and more as of late.
Perhaps it is the fact that I have now reached adulthood and adults are quite notorious for being very stuck in their ways. Perhaps it is something else. Whatever the reason... it must be identified and tackled.
"The narrator explains that, as a young boy, he once drew a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant in its stomach; however, every adult who saw the picture would mistakenly interpret it as a drawing of a hat. Whenever the narrator would try to correct this confusion, he was ultimately advised to set aside drawing and take up a more practical or mature hobby. The narrator laments the crass materialism of contemporary society and the lack of creative understanding displayed by adults. As noted by the narrator, he could have had a great career as a painter, but this opportunity was crushed by the misunderstanding of the adults."

Thanks for explaining the whole mental masturbation/Third Eye thingimabobber.
It's very easy to have one's head up one's ass. Almost pathetically so.

Morpheus, the king of dreams, never woke anybody up.
They always revolve around 'death' in the mind of their offspring.
In my experience....
One killed himself at 40...
One died of old age, in his 80's, with bones brittle and breaking....
And another (non related) but feel he still counts, died of a heart attack in my mother's bed...
