You can still get a prescription for anabolics, it's not too late. You can also still use a tanning bed, which after 2-3 weeks will make you look half-way decent enough to put Marx down.
>>14443958
People on /fit/ are retards interested in bulking, which is as unhealthy as being skinny. With anabolics, you can expect to safely add 20 pounds of pure muscle in a year with light or cycling use, accompanied by some exercise.

Use it safely by taking hepatoprotective substances and abstaining from ethanol beverages (shit tier for you anyways).

It's preferable to lose any excess fat first because once you start gaining muscle, it is difficult to lose the fat later without compromising the added muscles. You're better off focusing on weight loss initially, through fasting and keto, which should take no more than a few months for a skinny fat if adhered to. Do that, then recover for 1-2 weeks with carbohydrates to kick your body out of ketosis, then start taking steroids.

>In the summer of 1939 I went to visit my friend in Cairo and when I was there the war broke out. I had a lectureship in Lithuania at that time and, being unable to return there, I was forced to stay in Egypt. My friend, who had become like a member of Guénon's household, collecting his mail from poste restante and doing many other things for him, took me to see Guénon. A year later I was out riding in the desert with my friend when his horse ran away with him and he was killed as the result of an accident. I shall never forget having to go to tell Guénon of his death. When I did he just wept for an hour. I had no option but to take my friend's place. I had already been given the freedom of the household and very quickly I became like one of the family. It was a tremendous privilege of course. Guénon's wife could not read and she spoke only Arabic. I quickly learned Arabic so I was able to talk to her. It was a very happy marriage. They had been married for seven years without children and Guénon, who was getting fairly old -- he was much older than she was -- had had no children with his first wife, so it was unexpected when they began to have children. They had four children altogether. I went to see Guénon nearly every day. . I was the first person to read The Reign of Quantity, the only book he wrote while I knew him since the other books had all been written earlier. He gave it to me chapter by chapter. And I was able also to give him my own first book when I wrote it, The Book of Certainty, which I gave him also chapter by chapter. It was a very great privilege to have known such a person.

Because Sufism agrees or heavily aligns with Advaita Vedanta on many points of doctrine and uses many of the same metaphors, analogies, expressions etc in their literature. Compare for example:

40 Qudsi Hadith 25: ".... My servant draws not near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties I have enjoined upon him, and My servant continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory works so that I shall love him. When I love him I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes and his foot with which he walks."

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 3.8.11. : "This Immutable, O Gārgī, is never seen but is the Witness; It is never heard, but is the Hearer; It is never thought, but is the Thinker; It is never known, but is the Knower. There is no other witness but This, no other hearer but This, no other thinker but This, no other knower but This. By this Immutable, O Gārgī, is the ether pervaded."

Ibn Arabi and Shankara in their works cite the above texts and related ones to support similar metaphysical conclusions. There are countless other examples of agreement that you can find comparing various Sufi writers/poets to the Upanishads and Vedantic writings.

"Cast away the saying "What is other than Allah"
By your own reason separate that from this.
How can you doubt that this is a dream?
For duality by the side of unity is a pure delusion.
Not being is single like being,
All plurality proceeds from attribution.
The manifestation of differences and plurality of things
Proceed from the chameleon contingent.
Since the Being in all of them is One,
They all bear witness to the unity of "The Truth"
- Mahmoūd Shabestarī

That's only wahhabis and people influenced by them. Sufism continues to be considered as an important part of traditional Islam to many millions of Sunni muslims worldwide. One of the most influential Islamic thinkers/theologians al-Ghazali was a Sufi and wrote about how it agreed with and complemented the exoteric aspects of Islam and the Sharia. Sufi ideas are taught and are accepted at Al-Azhar university, even in countries full of hardline Islamists like Pakistan the veneration of Sufi saints is very common.
>>14444257
Guenon is, although you may want to read others like William Chittick or Titus Burckheart too since Guenon writes about Islam less then other religions. Gurdjieff was a syncretic guy who seems to have drawn from a lot of stuff and would not be considered as a real Muslim by almost all Muslims. If you want to read actual translated Sufi writings after reading some intro books try reading some of the works of Ibn Arabi, Rumi, Sanai, Attar, al-Ghazali, Shabestari etc

From what I know, you need to talk to a rabbi and go through them dissuading you multiple times, since under Judaism you are saved if you merely follow the 7 commandments given to Noah (peace be upon him). And they want to make sure that you would be a good Jew and fully observe all commandments and that you're serious about conversion. Then you undergo a long process of studying the Torah and studying the 613 commandments you'd now have to follow, etc. Then it's a process of doing certain rituals and having your foresking chopped off.
>>14451385
>what primordial traditions are left for a modern western man?
Eastern Orthodoxy (look into Hesychasm), Islam. Catholicism is still an option (Guenon considers its restoration the only likely salvation for the West) if you join a highly traditional group. Even Hinduism is still an option from what certain people here suggest.

then you need to find a rabbi and tell him you want to convert. he will reject you many times but you need to keep asking. after he finally gives in he gives you some learning material to study, after which you do a conversion ceremony. types of judaism in order of baseness: 1. orthodox 2. conservative 3. modern/secular (stay away from this one unless you are extremely liberal)

Evola is good for light reading material you use before going to sleep to get come epic dreams about Roman neo-pagan warriors fighting degeneracy. For actual contemplation try Guénon. Evola even said that contemplation is rated less than action.

I you think just Catholicism is corrupted and not other religions you are in for a harsh awakening. We live in the most materialist time known to man, every religion is a shell of what it used to be. If you find a good traditional Catholic Church, you are as good off as anyone. Every religion known to man is suffering from ideological decay due to the spread of modern consumerism and scientific materialism.

Read Jean Borella and you will come to understand that Guenon's dialectic of esoteric and exoteric does not properly fit Catholicism in the first place. There are innumerable instances in which the two become mixed and the difference can be difficult to discern, not just in Catholicism, but throughout many other religions. Shia Muslims dislike the distinction for example, and Guenon himself admits in Intro to Hindu Doctrines that Hinduism blends the two. Even certain Sufi orders commonly initated whole masses of common people at once in certain scenarios.

it is true women read more but grills tend to read simple trash like romance novels and 50 shades. men as a whole read less but when they do read its usally high iq material like guenon on top of <edgy dark detective stories, so grit, or boomerist WWII fanfiction rags
in short, grills read for emotional reasons and men read to better themselves and gain intelligence.
