for with action, we act as an individual; for with contemplation, we act as a collective world soul. Guenon (pbuh) is infalliable: his wisdom is that which is eternal.

Because he was a "traditionalist" (aka unoriginal). It's called the vita contemplativa, goes back to Aristotle and Plato, ask them "why tho'?"

Lo! another soul living in the cave of shadows. Brother step out and see the light of the sun that is above us all. Originality is the highest of human follies; there is nothing new under the Sun.

In my circles (continental European intellectuals of high financial and social status and low bodyfat percentage), René Guénon is looked down upon in contempt and regarded as lowbrow esoteric hogwash.

Brother you have just revealed that you surround yourself with those who take pleasure in material goods. Please, recoil with disgust from the error of your ways and join us in the desert, where true enlightenment lies.

More like high performers, confident urban professionals, good taste in expensive watches and overpriced booze. Access to upper class orgies and genetically elite breeding partners. Every aspect of life is scheduled, fully optimized and under complete control.

Urban professionals never have good taste. Only the honnête homme -- the the well-educated, nonpedantic man of manners, as much at home in a salon as in his study, a gentleman of smiling wisdom and elegant, discreet disenchantment -- has good taste.
