Finally, hoping becomes the act of an ethical coup d’état which teaches us again that ultimate freedom, as we understand it, essentially consists in being able to do what one should do to fulfil oneself completely, a self-determining freedom of one’s rights and of one’s duties in the most authentic European spirit, such as one finds in the Edda:[204] ‘Seek thou thy way thyself!’[205] Deciding, acting and assuming are the three attributes of our freedom. Deciding: the voluntary free act. Acting: the creative free act. Assuming: the responsible free act. In this conception, freedom does not proceed either from a ‘natural’ condition, nor from a gratuitous act. It supposes, on the contrary, the sovereignty of the person who strives for it. Correlating to a conquest, this freedom is thus never passively experienced, but seized. That implies, in turn, that, if to understand its value one should be capable of attaining it, likewise, in order to live it, one should be worthy of it.This conception of freedom thus implies that we should ‘go out of’ ourselves in order to go beyond ourselves. This going beyond ourselves we reach insofar as, breaking with the spirit of this age (choices), we mobilise ourselves against it (action), ready to assume the risks and sacrifices that this act supposes. Consequently, by taking the metapolitical decision to withdraw from public affairs pertaining to the System, we have not removed ourselves with the aim of isolating and protecting ourselves. On the contrary, this metapolitical withdrawal places us in a situation of detachment in order to be in a better position to fight. On the surface, this is a withdrawal to better prepare ourselves for the higher reverberations, for the spiritual revivals heralding political revivals.
