Why are so many young people on this board so obsessed with Buddhism/Advaita non-dualism, Hinduism, Esotericism, Gnosticism, Guenon and other idolatries?
/lit/erature on how to fight this impulse in the West and return the young people to a better state for their soul?

>For the worship of abominable idols is the cause, and the beginning and end of all evil.
>For either they are mad when they are merry: or they prophesy lies, or they live unjustly, or easily forswear themselves.
>For whilst they trust in idols, which are without life, though they swear amiss, they look not to be hurt.
>But for two things they shall be justly punished, because they have thought not well of God, giving heed to idols, and have sworn unjustly, in guile despising justice.

(Wisdom 14:27-30)

>For of a truth, O Lord, the kings of the Assyrians have laid waste lands, and their countries.
>And they have cast their gods into the fire, for they were not gods, but the works of men's hands, of wood and stone: and they broke them in pieces.
>And now, O Lord our God, save us out of his hand: and let all the kingdoms of the earth know, that thou only art the Lord.

(Isaiah 37:18-20)

>The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.
>They have a mouth, but they speak not: they have eyes, but they see not.
>They have ears, but they hear not: neither is there any breath in their mouths.
>Let them that make them be like to them: and every one that trusteth in them.

(Psalm 134:15-18)


>Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind.

(Colossians 2:18)

>Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry. I speak to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all share the one loaf.

(1 Corinthians 10:14-17)

I'm writing an essay involving non-dualistic ideas (more specifically it's about the 'unity of opposites'). Can someone point me to the book(s) where Guénon discusses non-dualism? And also any help for non-dualism in Buddhism/Advaita and Hinduism would be appreciated.

Did the mods start banning his Hinduism generals or moving them to /his/ or something?

Not many anons are nondualist so I don't see the point in this. Non annihilationist mysticism threads would be fun though.

>unity of opposites
Just write an essay refuting non-dualism. By the isomorphism of opposites theorem this is identical to a non-dualist essay, so you will still get full marks.

Because Christianity is a false religion. Christians are polytheists who worship a trinity, a man as a God and worship idols/icons/statues. Christianity has a semitic jewish base coated with hellenic polytheistic philosophy. Christianity's entire philosophy was copied from Hellenic Greeks. Buddhism and Hinduism are the supreme elevation of the Aryan spirit and the Aryan mind. Monism is the eternal truth, hence why both the Greeks and Hindus converged onto it. Neoplatonism to Advaita.

No mysticism is annihilationist, this is some retardation that started in the guenon threads and should have died with them
