>Just commit spiritual suicide and larp as a sage, whilst spending your entire life writing books on rhetoric, all to just say well "metaphysics is what you cant define"
>I am so devoid of sentiment that I paritcipate in muslim rites for "spiritual realization," and intentionally misinterpret sufi mysticism to be nondual vedanta, and buddhism, its not depersonalization or a negation of the individual bro, its supraindividual suprahuman states of consciousness samadhi (trance) I reach through chanting at dhikr ceremonies.
>absolute depersonalization is the way of the elite bro..
>I am still a westerner but we are not the same, I am a deracinated superior brahmin, who doesnt even exist, or have any trace of individuality, as according to tradition we all know all that can do is dissolve...
Imagine taking this hack seriously

>inserts his own
Guenon's (pbuh) thought is not "his" (pbuh) own, he (pbuh) is merely a messenger. He (pbuh) claims no originality in his (pbuh) uncorrupted transmission of Ancient Perennial Knowledge...

>The author seems to know—for instance—not only that Guénon occasionally smoked opium before he was 26, but also that Albert Puyou (Matgioi), the Count of Pouvourville had taught him. He seems to have cast-iron proof of it: Matgioi has written a book on opium (pp. 58, 283). Mark Sedgwick also wonders—in the manner of a ‘good,’ modern historian—whether Guénon would have moved to Egypt had it not been for his comforting, new lover, Mary (Dina) Shillito (p. 74). Despite the fact that in Cairo many Muslims took Guénon to be a saint (or even more than that), it turns out that during ramadam he did not refrain from “smoking a cigarette and drinking a coffee,” and he did not go on a pilgrimage to Mecca (pp. 75–76).
This makes me like Guénon even more.
