If you understood part 1, then you know the at the spiritual necessarily comes before the physical, but the physical too, is required.
If your spiritual cohesion is weak, your physical one will be non-existent. If your spiritual cohesion is based on something real but partial (non-violence, do no harm, meditation on the abstract realities, communion with nature), that is lacking the other side of reality (violence is at times required so you better be good at it, a little harm early sometimes prevent a bigger harm later, practical considerations, dealing with humans as they are not as you wish they were) then our physical cohesion will only last while there are no real stressors to it. MS-13 gangs have it good… until an active government or group of vigilante citizens large and equipped enough decide they had enough. Then MS-13 gangs disappear or become the new government if they win. The Amish are fine… until the MS-13 gangs decide they want the Amish compound.
Only if the spiritual if holistic does the physical become resilient.
You may disagree with it, but like it or not, Islam is holistic. Suicidal zealots on one end and devout prayer on the other end. Because of it, it is resilient. Judaism is complex, because its spiritual aspect reflects both the concept of a higher power, but also the idea that you can circumvent its laws by clever rules-lawyering, and this translates to a physical cohesion that is founded on deception of anyone mot part of the club to a great extent. It is resilient and successful… until the deception is understood and seen on a scale that tips the balance, then its exponents tend to get exiled and removed from polite society en masse.
China as an entity is resilient, and its people hard to counter in terms of work ethic or perseverance, but from a spiritual perspective their way of doing things, with mass subjugation to the state, is not sustainable for Western style civilisations. So they are insular and non-integrating. More of a slow rolling behemoth than an instant threat to survival.
Fake religions that only have veneers of ideologies, but are really just the equivalent of a spiritual fake meal and physical cardboard cutout, will have inconsequential physical manifestations beyond the zombie horde. Protestants, Novus Orco “Catholics” the millions and millions of agnostics and atheists, none of them make any difference. At most they are a brainless zombie horde that might be manipulated to stumble this or that way for a brief period of time; and yes, in that time they can make a lot of damage, but they don’t decide anything.
Eastern Orthodox are currently the pre-eminent resistors of clown world, but they tend to be isolationist (which is good but means you as a Westerner are not of them really) and stagnant spiritually. Physically they are solid and generally reliable and they have large enough numbers to make a difference. That said, the failure of their societies is built in: they are essentially tribal. Even the Mongol Empire collapsed when Genghis Khan died. And their own internal stresses prevent them from ever becoming a truly civilising force.
Tiny, low-numbers as it is Catholicism (Sedevacantism) is actually the only perspective that has a real chance. The spiritual element is solid and factual and has no problem pushing back as hard as required, right up to taking on even the fanatical elements of their enemies with calm and determination. Physically this too translates. Their weakness for now is numbers. But given each woman we know that is Sede has (or intends to) at least 5 or more children, we will become a larger force over time.
Pacifist in intent but not afraid to defend as hard as required, also makes us resilient. Building up Sede communities is the aim and process currently happening in real time. Organisation and forming economic communities is the next step. And after that, political and civil defence will come rapidly.
Regardless of if you heed my thoughts on what the best spiritual practice to provide a deep coherence is or not, the fact is that you need to create a physical coherence too. That is, a community of people in the flesh, that can stand united against whatever horror they may have to face, together, as a real community that shares pains and glories as required.
You can have all the best ideas in the world (I have several myself!) but if you don’t learn to create and be a part of a community of men that are willing and able to become warriors on the spot if events require it, you will not survive any SHTF events, nor the more likely constant and progressive squeezing you with taxes, laws, rules and increasing costs for everything.
You need to surround yourself with people that will work well together inside foxholes, instead of panic and crap themselves. And then you need to lead them if you can, and follow the leader if you cannot.
You simply will not achieve anything, no matter what type of “revolution” you might want to have, peaceful, educational, economical, or even outright war, if you do not have something prepared to replace whatever it is you are trying to do away with.

So build it first.
