/lit/ - Literature

I'm thinking, for example, of its arguments about consciousness being one, our True Self and identical to God, or about the unreality of persons and the world, or that God cannot be personal because that is already a form of determination and that the Absolute can only be fully infinite and therefore contain all possibilities (and therefore also contain the world, while exceeding it, in a panentheistic manner), etc.

The more I learn about this metaphysics, its philosophical arguments, and about mystical experiences in general, the more I have trouble with Christian soteriological exclusivism.

I am moving further and further away from Christianity with my reason, but it enrages my heart, which continues to feel that there is something special about Jesus, and that he is not just another enlightened sage.

If you have any book recommandations, I'm interested. I've already started looking at De Smet and Grant, but I'm not totally convinced by their arguments. Borella never addresses the soteriological question, although his position seems to go against extra Ecclesiam nulla salus, etc.

Damn Guénon...
