Miscellaneous, he tries to defend the mormons and makes basic bitch explanations of Buddhism and Hinduism

The one where he is retroactively refuted by Buddha.

>>14423545
More like gaynon

>>14423545
the one where he rapes whitehead

Infinite recursion of retroactive refutations, converges into the Absolute

Reminder that Shankara and his teacher Gaudapada were massively influenced by Nagarjuna, and Shankara has been considered a "crypto-Buddhist" by his fellow Hindus for over a thousand years, and mainstream scholarly opinion agrees

he actually shits on them in that book and says they are emblematic of the excesses of Anglo pseudo-spirituality

>>14423545
The one where he retroactively refutes Kant, I presume. Can a Guenonian tell me which book that is?

>>14423548

"gay, non" is the correct French-traditionalist interpretation of his name.

the one where he retroactively refutes (insert name)

Guenon invites literal street shitters to shit up /lit/. A race so embarrassing they either refute their metaphysical doctrines by being the fecal race that they are, or are so utterly atavistic caricature of the human form that they ended up in such a state despite being gifted with the highest metaphysical truths.

Whenever you see people namedrop smelly Indians and the smelly works instead of just relating the concepts it's an obvious red flag for pariahs ITT

>>14425418
the indians of today, aren't the same who wrote the hindu scriptures, very different races

>>14425421
And only the "indians of today" bother to name drop "Nagarjuna, Shankara, Gaudapada" etc etc before going on schizo rants about what they interpret the religious leaders said and said about each other that is far removed from Guenon or the traditionalist school. They are the equivalent to faggot larping Catholics and protestants getting into debates hijacking the threads. Traditionalism needs a way to gatekeep the indians out. Guenon partially did it by becoming a muslim, Evola by focusing on rome and medieval tradition.

>>14424351
Yeah because he's gay

>>14425448
Gay ? Non.

Buddhism and Vedanta are full of low functioning autism people at both ends of the spiritual totem pole going against itself, no different than Greeks and Romans implodes upon each other. The real issue is of those who discuss these matters to those who don't seek the truth, and no amount of vetting is possible to make a group of people that actually are enlightened.

This was already an issue with secret societies long before the internet. The problem is that the traditional world is a counter world to what is considered the "real" world of modernity where things are taken for granted. It's why initiation is hard without being a bunch of larping because it's hard for it to have genuine power and authority.


> The real issue is of those who discuss these matters to those who don't seek the truth
I believe this is a big issue with Guenon in particular as he attracts lots of Pseuds who just like to play with ideas as some surrogate activity. The smugness of constructing yourself as some wise contemplation>action and rationalizing your detachment and lack of genuine interest in the more spiritual/less pseud friendly elements leads to a load of larping.

Evola's loose association with /pol/ does him good as it acts as proper gatekeeping to pseuds who are vulnerable to the dissociation propaganda being lumped in with /pol/ does for their cred. (and /pol/ itself being too sunk in life to really damage anything it finds trendy before moving onto something else)

You can spot subhumans like that very clearly in the real world though, at least I know them when I see them. So that's not a big issue for an irl 4chan-ian secret society. The rest of the things you mention just seem to be unavoidable in our times.

why does this monkey have a beard? did he convert to islam?

guenon literally argued against this view in intro to hindu doctrines

>>14423545
all of them are trash that you meme faggot is pushing on /lit/. So it doesn't matter.

>>14426581
you really think the schizo that had time to spam guenon memes 24/7 for six days in a row has time to read? you're dumb, very dumb.

>>14423545
I want to read his books, but I'm afraid of him turning out to be another J*rdan P*terson type (as in how P*terson doesn't believe Jesus rose from the dead, etc). I bought P*terson's book and had to burn it when I realized his true nature.
Does Guenon believe that Muhammad _literally_ and _physically_ split the Moon in half and went from Mecca to Jerusalem in a single night? Clear belief in any other miracle will suffice too.

>>14426855
>Clear belief in any other miracle will suffice too.
in one of his books he castigates people who deny the resurrection of christ

>>14426894
Thanks anon. Is the book where he says that on the reading chart? I plan to read most of his work from there in the future.

>>14426901
Yes, I forgot which one though. I've read Intro to Hindu Doctrines, Man and His Becoming, East and West, Studies in Hinduism and Crisis of the Modern World, I remember it being in one of those
