Ernst Junger, soldier, officer, memoirist, novelist and philosopher experienced the passage of already tyrannical nations into a human erasing globalist system, promising heaven on one hand and dispensing hell with the other. His war experience and intellect permitted him to resist the pull of time into what was to him a politicized ship of fools plowing through a never-to-be-plumbed sea. He offers to the conscious reader the opposite option of the temporal ship, being the transcendent journey, traditionally understood by men of many races who guided their juniors, from the time before history and civilization and decreasingly into the shadows of modernity, as a journey through a forest, where the wayfarer is beset by darkness, doubt, beasts, thickets, rock and water, largely out of contact with the guidance of heaven. These two metaphors for navigating life as either a passenger on a ship which has sailed or a wanderer in a world which assails come to life starkly in the words of the old soldier.

Conclusion
Ernst Junger, soldier, officer, memoirist, novelist and philosopher experienced the passage of already tyrannical nations into a human erasing globalist system, promising heaven on one hand and dispensing hell with the other. His war experience and intellect permitted him to resist the pull of time into what was to him a politicized ship of fools plowing through a never-to-be-plumbed sea. He offers to the conscious reader the opposite option of the temporal ship, being the transcendent journey, traditionally understood by men of many races who guided their juniors, from the time before history and civilization and decreasingly into the shadows of modernity, as a journey through a forest, where the wayfarer is beset by darkness, doubt, beasts, thickets, rock and water, largely out of contact with the guidance of heaven. These two metaphors for navigating life as either a passenger on a ship which has sailed or a wanderer in a world which assails come to life starkly in the words of the old soldier.
