I second this post. I have had the same experience of the vanity of everything that is too contingent and nothing pleases me anymore except mathematics, philosophy (ontology & epistemology), spirituality and poetry. Only the infinite, the absolute, the transcendent, the necessary, the super-rational can satisfy the insatiable mind that has made itself curious. In this respect, the study of woodcarving or folklore is not insipid, but only if one does not study them with the absolutely immanent perspective of Deleuze, but with the will to consider them as embodiments of principles of a higher order. What should be seen and studied in all this is the way in which providence makes itself present to being and manifests itself in the divine creation. The lowly structural comparative study between two objects can only give a transient and minor satisfaction as long as one does not do it with a view to the principial analogies which are informed in these two objects and the ways and differences of these instantiations result from the proper dispositions of these objects. What one must see in the forest is not the ecosystem, it is the life.

It is exactly the implementation of these manners of intellection of the real which allows in the last place to redevelop the mytho-poetic perspective of the thought on the world which is the spontaneous perspective of the man facing the world. What prevails is the ontological verticality and the consciousness of the centrality and omnipresence of absolute and profound principles. This is the activity of all the great philosophers in the field of rationality. This is the activity of all the great poets and all the great mystics in the field of the irrational. What elevates man is to put himself at the disposal of God and to identify his soul with his own. In the practical field it is the practice of virtues, in the speculative field it is this activity of the soul that I have described.
