Does not anyone else it highly ironic that the first thing, when you search "Guenon" in various image searches you get endless images of apes? Or apes in general https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guenon

Was René Guénon literally the Ape Of Thoth?

>The Ape of Thoth is often thought of as human reason. It follows Thoth, the god of wisdom, around mimicking his divine wisdom with its weak play-acting.
>The Word is in the hands of both Tahuti and his Ape. Tradition has it that the Magus is followed by the Ape of Thoth, who ensures that all his words will be misunderstood. The Word, once the pure expression of a Cosmic Mystery, has now become trapped in a thicket of its own ramifications and reifications. Like all contingent phenomena, it is ultimately impermanent and unsatisfactory.

He spent all of his life trying to rationalize, intellectualize and in words explain Wisdom or Jnana, which itself cannot be never truly communicated by letters or rationalization

Only the last word escaping from his husk to be the condensation of his whole madness:
>René Guénon died on Sunday, January 7, 1951; his final word was "Allah"

Writing multiple articles, books during his lifetime, his whole of thought being summarized in some Abrahamic tribal fetish of the goat herders and camel riders

Seriously it is just way too humorous when you think about it. He literally was the Ape of Tahuti and nothing more. Tragicomedy of sorts.
