>exit level texts
I lol'd.

Oh and to give a real reply, I intend to buy Zettels Traum on the day I retire and then try to read it. It seems truly exit level. Exit level as in the last thing.

>>18310183
>people seriously don’t think the end of history is real

>>18310222
I have a copy of the English translation. Just waiting for Leaf by Leaf to do a series on it

>>18310183
my diary desu

>>18310183

>>18310183
There is no exit
We continue to produce literature
The world continues to change
The day you stop reading is the day you stop learning, and if you're not wrong then, you will be shortly after

>>18310222
>It seems truly exit level. Exit level as in the last thing.
I own it and have read it. I preordered it from Dalkey. It’s not exit level at you, you Retard.

>>18310222
What can you tell me about it? Is it really anything more than a gimmick inspired by Joyce?

>>18310386
>We continue to produce literature

Wrong, when you read enough your brain activates another level of consciousness where you can predict any book that will come in the future. You would know this if you had read enough to get invited into Phase I of The Illuminati, which isn't even that hard desu

>>18310183
Makes POS look downright straight forward.

The Zohar

>>18310183

>>18311255
I always found Boehme rather simple

>>18310183
What is the more difficult one of those two books?

>>18311824
Finnegans Wake

>>18311830
Is there anything more difficult than finnegans wake guys?

Rising Up and Rising Down (unabridged)

the complete works of Henry Darger

Zibaldone

>>18310183
The Bible

>>18310183
Been working my way up to this for a long time

>>18311824
It depends. One is an artistic work packed with references, and so the goal isn't to construct and interpret a systematic philosophical system from it. That makes it much easier on one level. POS is way easier to understand on a basic level, but you're supposed to pull all the ideas together into a holistic system, and that is very difficult because the ideas are extremely complex and it's written like dogshit, something even Hegel admitted, since he had to rush it out. Finnegan's Wake by contrast can seem incoherent, but you're also not having to subject it to the same logical analysis.

>>18312890
Yes. You have mystical works like >>18311255 that, to someone without the proper background will be as incoherent and difficult as Finnegan's Wake, but also involve systematic philosophical insights, as well as elements of religious experience, all while using occult symbolism (it assumes a familiarity) to makes its points.

>>18310183

>>18313535
What version though eh?

>>18310183
Look

Basically I'm gonna not read Hegel.

I know. UGH I know. I'm sorry!!!!!!

But I'm just not gonna take it, is all!

AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

>>18311830
finnegans wake isn't difficult it's drunken irish garbage.

Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (in original German)
Tao te ching (in original Classical Chinese)

For a start

>>18313535
This, and Summa Theologica
>>18310183
There’s more exit level Hegel works out there (Science of Logic, Elements of the Philosophy of Right)

>>18310183
Better question, which book literally is THE exit level? Like what is the book that ends all others in terms of complexity, transcending and enlightenment?

>>18314320
Such a book is impossible, you need the beginnings to create the end of a system. Read Hegel. POS is an exit from thinking there are exits.

>>18314320
The 1912 Sears Catalog

>>18314341
So basically, POS is the exit to the boundaries of reading?

>>18310183
Pliny the Elder

>>18311272
I read excerpts and hated it

>>18313621
What is the significance of Hegel, and how does he relate to your project of (at least what I glean your project to be) collating esoteric knowledge from across different traditions?

Also, what are your thoughts on Shri Aurobindo?

>>18314482
The POS is the initiation into Hegel’s system. In it he traces the development of Geist culminating in absolute knowing. Knowledge of geist’s dialectical development is necessary for the attainment of absolute knowing. When you have absolute knowing then you can understand hegel’s system.

>hegal next to faggot joyce
sage.

>>18314092
>There’s more exit level Hegel works out there (Science of Logic
In terms of difficulty or when and how it should be read? Because in both cases I'd disagree.

Maximos the confessor.

>>18314050
>Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (in original German)
The fact that you don't know how the Tractatus was written means your opinion in this thread is worthless. I seriously doubt you've even read pieces of it.

>>18310183
The Gervais Principle

>>18315200
The second one, I feel like you need to understand the POS to read SOL, not that it’s more difficult to read, it’s just not the first Hegel you’d read

>>18317555
They're more like an Ouroboros, I'd say. The need for a new logic is explained and 'excused' (given reason for?) in PoS, but SoL explains things which come into play before the things which PoS explains (I hope that makes sense). You can honestly start with either one.

>>18314678
>What is the significance of Hegel, and how does he relate to your project of (at least what I glean your project to be) collating esoteric knowledge from across different traditions?

I see Hegel as an extension of boehme’s ontological thought, boehme being a core piece of my Christian thought. The most important aspects of him to me are his treatments of begrif and idea, will, right and the relation of the rational to the actual. But his thought permeates my stuff honestly. I directly synthesize boehme and thus he with tantra and Kabbalah so it would be like having to explain my entire model to explain the relationships.


>Also, what are your thoughts on Shri Aurobindo?

I’ve only a small amount of knowledge concerning him, not enough to give anything negative nor positive concerning him. I don’t trust what little I’ve read but to explain why he’s right or wrong would be overstepping.

kek

>>18310183
Since the question itself is so retarded, might as well try reading something that is more your level

>>18310183
Anyone actually read this shit? What the fuck does it all mean?

>>18317880
I read it; it’s theory fiction, it’s mostly playing around and just seeing how much he can twist an idea by various philosophical and historical conceptions. The end result he wants you to imagine that the spine is a parasitic god-spawn which is destroying the universe to birth itself, all of it is tongue in cheek mind you.

>>18310243
what ended with hegel?

>>18317718
>explain my entire model
Do you plan on publishing a book? Or do you cover this on your blog?

>>18318205
Likely never, I cover the core points of my ontology and its developments if you read my soseinology stuff from oldest post to newest, but The blog is really for myself, more a diary. I know how verbose and autistic the terms and phrases are. If I were to ever publish something it would be years and years from now.

>>18318205
He has a blog? Do you have a link?

>>18318458
Here’s the blog link, philosophy, mysticism and occultism are under soseinology, poetry is under Poetry, anything else I’ve written isn’t categorized.
