Anybody read this and care to explain it? or is it, dare I say, a bit beyond /lit/'s capabilities?

It’s beyond us, take it to reddit, or anywhere else.

The book itself is an explanation. It can't be condensed down any further without loss of meaning.

Im stuck on part I still. Went back to Revolt Against the Modern World to understand. Then went to the Pythagorean source book. This is harder than linux man page surfing

Yes I know, and it is very complicated and purposefully unclear in many respects.

I don't think those would help that much. Part 2 is even more confusing.

Strikes me as a pleb but I could be wrong. Imo this is the only book you need along with the original hermetic/alchemical texts. The UR Group writings will help with the more technical aspects too.

Have carefully read the book many times, still unsure about the second part. Would love to do a group study of the text.

I think translation issues might be in part the issue. I remember reading an essay/review of the book that cited a part that was always nebulous to me but with a better translation and it shocked me how poor the translation must be.
