Bro if you can make it through a dialogue driven minimalist French new wave film about a dude trying to break out of Nazi jail you can read a book

That's an overbroad use of the term "traditional," but I think the beginning of the thread covered that a bit. In that chart, for example, there just isn't a whole lot in common between Evola's politics/metaphysics/historiography and Burke's. Dante would most likely see Evola and Nietzsche burning in the Hell he describes. De Maistre would undoubtedly agree.

I think if you're really interested in this kind of thought, you need to define where you stand on your metaphysics first.

But they aren't mere expressions. Guenon converted to Islam and yet was a Hindu in a very real sense; he lauded early Christianity and both he and Evola criticized the direction of the Church. Fair enough, but what is true, then? Is Jesus not the son of God? Is the Kali-Yuga real or not? Just because all faiths seem to interrogate metaphysical and spiritual questions do not mean they are all "expressions" of the same principles. That is lazy analysis. But again, you already know that; you have your own faith independent of those.

>where does this Truth even come from? It's a weird sort of atheistic religion where there is no divine power but there is a central belief in a metaphysical Truth.
Precisely. And no Traditionalist author ever attempts to apprehend this question. God and spiritual power are just whatever is most convenient for their writings at that particular time.

I completely understand. I sent you an email a few months(?) ago from my Harvard email asking about some details, but didn't get a response. I get things get lost in the shuffle, but if the email on your website is still the best way to reach you, maybe I can reach out later this week with some suggestions.

Hope you're well

>Her eyes darted left and right, each creaking board taking her attention from the rays of light cutting through the rotted roof. "I was happy here," she thought as a stream of tears rolled down her face followed by a whisper to herself, "Welcome home, Katie."

I wish I could, I'm so damn lonely. I wish my parents hadn't raised me Christian, it destroys every single instinct inside of you besides conformity to the group. It's unnatural and ironically human centric.

I don't even want to have sex, just one night of cuddling or a single kiss would soothe my soul to it's core. Everything is cold and dark except for a girls touch. I wish I could care less, but that would be impossible and just a cope. I've grown too old without any meaningful contact

Met with my new therapist for the first time this week. Went well, we really seemed to click. I do t knoe if it will be of much help but it's good to get stuff off of my chest regardless. Actually feeling optimistic for once.

I've been thinking of getting back together with my old girlfriend. We got along very well and never had any issues except for religion. She's a devout Christian and I'm a closeted ex Christian (although a conservative one). I wouldn't want to put her through the pressure of bring "unevenly yoked" except for she's getting old and still isn't married. I do love her, but it can be so hard. I never told her I didn't believe anymore. We are still on good terms, and whenever I see her face... It's like... Seeing an angel. An angel. One time I got drunk and saw her from across the room and told my buddies that she looked just like an angel. I do love her still. I just wish that I could be the man she wants

At least spring is right around the corner, I'm so tired of being cooped up inside. Running, walking, cycling, it's a whole different world in the summer here. I almost never go outside during the winter and never stay inside during the summer. I can't wait to see the blue skies and the march of clouds and the light of fireworks

My aunt is having her baby soon, her name will most likely be Lorelei: "mumbling rock, or siren, mermaid" I cannot wait to meet her. My aunt says she is a feisty girl. It is such a joyous and melancholy ocassion to introduce an infant into the world

You're an idiot. Art isn't about putting the feeling out, it's about the artist's effort into the manifestation of beauty. Technique, composition, perspective, proportion and the subtle, intuitive touches with higher forms of aisthesis.
