First, you need drugs which will shrink your prostate so as to reduce the desire for prostate stimulation, if you’re a faggot bottom. If not, proceed to step two which is exploring your fear of women, or at least intimacy with women. The third and final step is clearing your mind of any regret for the past. What’s done is done and you’re now the wiser for having moved onto a higher consciousness. Congratulations, you are now ascending above a primordial beast.

I would recommend starting with the Bhagavad Gita personally. Its a distillation of the Upanishads and I find it a very accessible read.

Since we are on the subject I also enjoyed the following short work by Evola

Another read, although maybe it should be read at the beginning, is this work by Guenon. It serves as a great introduction to metaphysics in general.

Finally I think that I should mention that maybe the most important part is not always the reading, and learning that type of knowledge, but joining a tradition and engaging in the rituals. If you don't do that you will always be relegated to the side lines and I don't think you will ever find what you are looking for.

Brainlet alert. Sad!

>“All truly great thoughts are conceived while walking.” - Nietzsche
>"Methinks that the moment my legs begin to move, my thoughts begin to flow, as if I had given vent to the stream at the lower end and consequently new fountains flowed into it at the upper. A thousand rills which have their rise in the sources of thought burst forth and fertilize my brain" - Thoreau
>“I can only meditate when I am walking, when I stop I cease to think; my mind only works with my legs." - Rousseau
>"In the struggle against mountain heights, action is finally free from all machines, and from everything that detracts from man’s direct and absolute relationship with things. Up close to the sky and to crevasses-among the still and silent greatness of the peaks; in the impetuous raging winds and snowstorms; among the dazzling brightness of glaciers; or among the fierce, hopeless verticality of rock faces-it is possible to reawaken (through what may at fIrst appear to be the mere employment of the body) the symbol of overcoming, a truly spiritual and virile light, and make contact with primordial forces locked within the body’s limbs." - Evola
>"He [Schopenhauer] remained healthy in his old age, which he attributed to regular walks no matter the weather, and always getting enough sleep."
>"Schopenhauer took a two-hour walk each morning, and commented in The Wisdom of Life that he observed the lower classes living out in the country were always cheerful and content while the social elite appeared of an unpleasant nature."

Start with the Peaks

Why are esoteric writers so confident that the supersensible realm is benign, especially when they think it is populated by other entities?

Evola describes his otherworldly and supersensible experiences as joyous and calm. But I think theosophy and anthroposophy talk about the possibility of demonic entities, faustian shit. And I'm sure Christianity would say that consorting with any entity is dangerous, especially if that entity presents itself as benign.
