I am once again asking, for that meme of Guenon with the Luigi hat. Fucking please.

Hypothetically what would Guenonian fantasy be like? Some hero with mystical powers goes on a quest to defeat a homosexual robot army bent on world conquest?

Is there any fiction that can be described as Guenonian?

>*blocks your path*

What does Guenon mean when he says "intellectual intuition"?

Why did Rene Guenon become a Muslim instead of staying in his native Christian faith?

specifically r/t_d

been a year or so since ive been on here. not a single guenon thread up? what happened?

>didn't believe in evolution
And I'm supposed to take this guy seriously?

Is Guenon Vivec?

How did Guenon react to Mao uprooting and destroying every last vestige of Chinese sacred tradition that remained and making China as spiritually and intellectually vapid as the West?

Can you still join his tariqa today? How would you do so?

>>16911994
Yes

Why sometimes Guénon (peace be upon him) seems to imply that the Kali yuga could be coming to a close, when orthodoxy clearly states that there is still more than 400.000 years to go, and the very existince of people like him points that we're far from the it.

I'm about to start the Reign of Quantity, it will be my fifth Guenon book (yay!), but then I noticed this: why isn't this guy talking bad about Freemasonry? I heard masons and jews were the bad guys.

Explain this!!!

Redpill me on Guenon, bros. Who is he, what are his ideas, what does he present as the solution to the problems of the modern world and the ,,Reign of Quanitity''?

What is it exactly that attracts midwit hylics to jungianism?

>>16504261
Yeah, I'm starting to see he was definitely God. I've jerked off so many times to his face.

>The same trend is noticeable in the scientific realm: research here is for its own sake far more than for the partial and fragmentary results it achieves; here we see an ever more rapid succession of unfounded theories and hypotheses, no sooner set up than crumbling to give way to others that will have an even shorter life— a veritable chaos amid which one would search in vain for anything definitive, unless it be a monstrous accumulation of facts and details incapable of proving or signifying anything. We refer here of course to speculative science, insofar as this still exists; in applied science there are on the contrary undeniable results, and this is easily understandable since these results bear directly on the domain of matter, the only domain in which modern man can boast any real superiority. It is therefore to be expected that discoveries, or rather mechanical and industrial inventions, will go on developing and multiplying more and more rapidly until the end of the present age; and who knows if, given the dangers of destruction they bear in themselves, they will not be one of the chief agents in the ultimate catastrophe, if things reach a point at which this cannot be averted?

>Be that as it may, one has the general impression that, in the present state of things, there is no longer any stability; but while there are some who sense the danger and try to react to it, most of our contemporaries are quite at ease amid this confusion, in which they see a kind of exteriorized image of their own mentality. Indeed there is an exact correspondence between a world where everything seems to be in a state of mere ‘becoming’, leaving no place for the changeless and the permanent, and the state of mind of men who find all reality in this ‘becoming’, thus implicitly denying true knowledge as well as the object of that knowledge, namely transcendent and universal principles. One can go even further and say that it amounts to the negation of all real knowledge whatsoever, even of a relative order, since, as we have shown above, the relative is unintelligible and impossible without the absolute, the contingent without the necessary, change without the unchanging, and multiplicity without unity; ‘relativism’ is self-contradictory, for, in seeking to reduce everything to change, one logically arrives at a denial of the very existence of change; this was fundamentally the meaning of the famous arguments of Zeno of Elea.

read guenon

I'll start with an obvious one

Introduction générale à l'étude des doctrines hindoues de René Guénon (psl)
