>> No.11921267

Eastern mysticism/philosophy had come to the West under a very spiritualist lens, with clear emphasis on new agey ideals like "oneness", "Self-reflection" and meditation. There is not enough understanding from an anthropological perspective as to why the East (already a huge generalization) developed and uses these type of philosophy. I am willing to bet that most westerners who preach about don't know the first thing about it, because for the others its a lived experience in their religion and customs.

>> No.11921322

>>11921267
calling things "new agey" is not real criticism.
>its a lived experience
precisely. but you don't need to live your whole life in a monastery to have these experiences.
all it takes is for you to reach a very mild meditative state for you to realize that it is very much not "just sitting down, being calm, relaxing" or whatever.
And at this very early stage of exploration into the eastern traditions, they already blow Christianity straight out of the water:
Here is something you can do right now, in your room, and you will actually feel something. It's empirical. You will come into contact with something very other which you cannot simply explain way with some neurological technobabble.

No, it doesn't. The west is ruled by a talmudic pedo-usury hegemonic cabal which is actively working to miscegenate the west into a amorphous blob of 85-IQ worker drones. And guess what, the ideas which propelled them into power, the ideas which motivate them, which inform their discourse and the ideas they disseminate to the populace in order to indoctrinate them; all these ideas are fundamentally stem from and were the inevitable product of western philosophy. People think 'becuase globalization etc happened that means western thought is the best" are utterly moronic. Western philosophy unleashed a pandora's box of unwholesome, chaotic and anti-traditional ideas, which gave rise to the poisonous ideologies held by the demonic peoples who are the destructive and treasonous puppetmasters of the west. Western philosophy is the reason why our ruling class is literally trying to destroy our culture.

This. Hitler was a Jewish agent, the 'Items of Power' that he (indirectly), created for Jews to use essentially renders them completely immune to everything. They own everything, yet one cannot even oppose an individual (that happens to be Jewish) let alone the group without being destroyed by those items. A simple 'antisemitic' ends all, especially as Westerners are all trained by schooling and media to be subservient and support of Jews.
