With things like "occultism" and "spirituality" becoming more commonplace as the older established religions are rotting away, i find it very difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff. There is just too much bullshit and fraud going around. I started reading Guenon, and while i feel that he is critical enough of the empty spiritualism of his time, i cannot really find any good contemporary writers who took his torch.

What are some good follow-up writers after Guenon? I heard Aleister Crowley considered Guenon a kindred spirit (albeit a "black brother"), but that's it.

Voevodsky last interview:

> In 2006-2007 a lot of external and internal events happened to me, after which my point of view on the questions of the "supernatural" has changed significantly. What happened to me during these years, perhaps, can be compared most closely to what happened to Karl Jung in 1913-14. Jung called it "confrontation with the unconscious". I do not know what to call it, but I can describe it in a few words. Remaining more or less normal, apart from the fact that I was trying to discuss what was happening to me with people whom I should not have discussed with, I had in a few months acquired a very considerable experience of visions, voices, periods when parts of my body did not obey me and a lot of incredible accidents. The most intense period was in mid-April 2007 when I spent 9 days (7 of them in the Mormon capital of Salt Lake City), never falling asleep for all these days.

> Almost from the very beginning, I found that many of these phenomena (voices, visions, various sensory hallucinations), I can control. So I was not scared and did not feel sick, but perceived everything as something very interesting, actively trying to interact with those "creatures" in the auditorial, visual and then tactile spaces that appeared (themselves or by call) around me . I must say, probably, to avoid possible speculations on this subject, that I did not use any drugs during this period, tried to eat and sleep a lot, and drank diluted white wine.

> Another comment - when I say beings, then naturally I mean what in modern terminology is called complex hallucinations. The word "beings" emphasizes that these hallucinations themselves "behaved", possessed a memory independent of my memory, and reacted to attempts at communication.

> Despite the fact that all this was very interesting, it was very difficult. It happened for several periods, the longest of which lasted from September 2007 to February 2008 without breaks and there were days when I could not read, and days when coordination of movements was broken to such an extent that it was difficult to walk.

> It should be said that despite many conversations with non-material "creatures" during this period, I completely did not understand what actually happened. I was "offered" many explanations, including hypnotists, aliens, demons and secret communities of people with magical abilities. None of the explanations explained everything I observed. Eventually, since some terminology was needed in conversations, I began to call all these beings spirits, although now I think that this terminology is not true. The terms "world system" (apparently control over people) and, especially in the beginning, "the game hosted by fear" sounded in this context.

No because he realized the ontological realm of spirits is in the social and psychological effect they have on people.

This is something that is somehow universal to every deliriums (even worldviews): they try to explain themselves in their own terms.

However, given the depth of his hallucinations and the sobriety of his reception, he deserves our attention on this topic.


And he's a field medalist. What he got famous for, a new development of structural mathematics called homotopy type theory, posits that when establishing identity schemas, equality is equivalent to equivalence. It's a shame he doesn't mention this aspect when he talks about synchronicities in the interview because it is absolutely central. That identity link your mind draws between two disparate events is arbitrary in that it can make more or less sense. Proximity in time between the two sides of a synchronicity is usually short because it allows the cognitive path between the two to be short (what truly matters), and this why it makes sense to others: because it is easy to process cognitively. There might be a discrepancy in the cognitive cost of the person who perceives a synchronicity, and the people that are told what happened. It happens when one attends to its own schizo-garden (I do) or has set himself into a peculiar remembering dynamic that is favorable for post-dictions.

I'm in this situation. In the times when I was in elementary school we would often, my parents and I, listen to a radio show for kids which had a section dedicated to schoolyard neologisms. Twice they mentioned a word I was convinced I had invented a few weeks earlier. Later after high school I picked linguistics as a major because I was good at grammar, and also because I wanted to play it cool like Haruki Murakami (I made the choice in 10 minutes looking at an orientation flyer).


This can be vaguely synchronistic to you, but maybe it will get more salient if I tell you in the time since then I have developed what one may call a theory about synchronicities. It is in fact only after I realized such a theory was emerging in me, looking back on my past, that I noticed the weird bends in the path that lead me towards linguistics. This 'emerging' phenomenon was feeding itself by retracing its steps, and gave me an extremely strong intuition quantum computing was *meant* to support natural language processing because quantum mechanics was fundamentally a theory about embedded conceptualization, not things. So why would one want to introduce quantum mechanics here (there are many paths in my schizo-garden that lead to it).

As Fredy Mercury puts it in It's a Kind of Magic:

The bell that rings inside your mind
Is challenging the doors of time

Or in Hammer to fall (hammer, literally my last name)

Don't hear the bell but you answer the call


Well, guess what ? It was real, and not only in my mind.

Turns out the research fields I have been surveying, applied category theory, quantum natural processing, quantum cognitive science, are taking off.

As of now, toy question answering systems are running on quantum hardware. Forget what you've been told about Quantum AI. It's not just about accelerating computation. Their model of language are "quantum native" as the y say and they are adamant they will bring on the table AGI. As I anticipated in 2012, the hardware is meant for the software: we'll have artificial intelligence running on quantum hardware as soon if not before we can run Shorr's algorithm to its full extent. As for my intuition that quantum theory is a conceptual, cognitive, semantic theory in disguise (because it is embedded into matter !) it is getting confirmed by the fact those new quantum linguistic construct could come as a replacement for the classical Hilbert space formalism (the ideas of Coecke are percolating into the physics community as I speak, and this guy is becoming a rockstar) and I recently figured out his thesis adviser, Aerts, is up to some good stuff to, with a conceptual interpretation of quantum mechanics (basically what I said above), and the discovery that one can properly account for the shape of Zipf distributions in language if we consider "Human Language as a Boson Gas of Entangled Words". How ? Because when interacting within a story, some words will be interchangeable as they refer to the same conceptual entity, arising on top of words as they contribute to the emergence of a meaningful story (the emergence looking back on itself I talked about above strikes again here). The frequency of their occurrences will sync, and they will assume the same identity: exactly like a bose-einstein condensate, a group of atom that lose their individuality and behave as a single quantum particle because it's so cold and they all vibrate at the same frequency.

This aspect is very important as Zipf distributions was the first synchronistic drop that fell on my skin. I observed something novel about Zipf distributions in language, spotted what I had focused on in an equation from a book authored by Coecke (with absolutely no mention of language or Zipf distribution), and that set me on track to intuit there was a link between ZIpf and bose-einstein condensates, and, as you may have astutely noticed in my story where the infra, what is conceived and , the meta, how it is conceived are one and the same, I deduced I was in some social bose-einstein condensate situation, vibrating at the same frequency as these researchers. I figured that out 8 years earlier than Aerts using only my schizo-mind and I'm now focused on formulating new prophecies for the next decade (for instance, quantum cognitivism [1] will hit some limit and morph into homotopy type theory, as we realize human language and algebra are the same kind of thing).

Resistance to cynicism would require a lack of anchor point, thus a lack of specific ideology, theology, events, etc. The only solution is to embed religion as a long-lasted phenomenon communicated between peers into synchronicities so that the dogma is tailored to each believer within its own singularity.

Unironically yes, i'd say the time is ripe for it now more than ever. While cynicism has rotted away earlier religions, it has not manage to fill the void that these religions left, and religion and faith that comes back after being lost is usually far stronger than the kind of belief that just lingers from birth throughout life. It's why converts and twice-born religious people (like Job) are so much more zealous.

I spent probably 4 years reading Guenon, and Evola, and Schuon, and Ramaswamy, and Nasr, and all these other guys. It’s all quite literally nothing more than an attempt to smuggle Eastern philosophy into Christian theology and Western philosophy.

[Anonymous No.22515081]

>>22512439
I think this sentiment is partly the problem. People like to ignore the obvious fact that science is fundamentally disenchanting. Take astronomy for example. Maybe at the bottom of the science glass is a sense of re-enchantment. Few will ever get there. For rest, you’ll only move from a sense of awe and magic and mythical-cosmological distance to a sterile scientific consideration of elements and bodies like billiard balls. The most surefire way to lose interest in space and stars is to study astronomy. Frankly, this goes for most things. It misses the point. And the way a poet or a prophet considered natural phenomena is entirely different than the way a scientist does because the latter wants to rip it apart and dissect it in order to understand it, and possibly to dominate it, while the former wants things as they. A spiritual person looks in himself and wants to unify with the divine and perhaps the natural world, while the scientific person looks outside of themselves and wants to tear it all apart to see what’s inside. You can see how the latter is a problem for the former.

[Anonymous No.22515090]

>>22513715
Of course with God all things are possible, but what makes a prophet is divine intervention. I think most likely, Western civilization will continue to slide into skepticism, away from traditional religion, away from science, and perhaps even away from technology, while some within it flee to traditional religions, eastern religions, and primitive religions resurrected as literature by scientific study, but they won’t necessarily believe it in their hearts. History is a long game and even if you believe the doom and gloom saying about climate and AI apocalypse or whatever, we are probably not even in the fourth quarter. It’s not as if climate reaches a certain degree and then all life ends and civilization crumbles. It’s at most a slow and gradual unwinding into miserable conditions while human life continues on.

If you're interested in pure metaphysics and esotericism from a theoretical standpoint I don't think you can do much better than Guénon in terms of how profound yet broad the scope of his works are. Evola is top-tier imo, he's pretty close to Guénon. If you're interested in practice I've found others but they're a lot more obscure and niche. Try to find esoteric writers who follow the Traditionalist worldview, that tends to separate the wheat from the chaff, although some of the newer perennialist stuff seems like crap. Also I've had better luck finding books in French and Italian than in English.

You could check out the other authors published by Sophia Perennis. Charles Upton and others. Btw I don't know what's going on with SP, are Guénon's collected works still for sale? Can't seem to find em.

Evola and Guénon have already pointed out that notions of this sort are merely forms of escapism which typify our times. The only reason Guénon did it was because there was a regular sufi lineage available to him and because he was already above exoteric forms. In terms of decadence and dissolution, Islam is just a few years away from Christianity.

Muslims are not subject to the process of Secularism the way Christians are. We do not have Matthew 22:21. Despite that, Muslims are secularising but never can the scholar elite class augment the Sharia itself. Secularism can only destroy a Muslim people, not Islam. That is the difference between the two religion.

Thelema is so ridiculously more useful than Nietzsche.
I mean really, you rather take your life advice from a seething incel who ended up in a mental institution? or a man who became the master of his own sex cult, whose death is a mystery?

People will just pretend to be religious even though they dont believe in it.

Like pic related, who devoted his entire life to occultism and living as a jew while he's actually a Marxist and probably an accessory to murder in the 1997 school shooting that he "survived" (because he did it)

What the fuck, is that the same guy?

>The State of Mississippi made it a capital crime if a murder is committed on the property of a school.[27]

>In 2003, Sledge pleaded guilty to unrelated federal charges of having purchased an illegal and untraceable machine gun online. Sledge's involvement in the shooting was addressed at sentencing. "I think we're dealing with a brilliant mind. I hope we're not dealing with an [sic] Hannibal Lecter," Judge Barbour said of Sledge, to which U.S. Attorney Dunn Lampton replied, "That's what concerns me. He has the ability to manipulate...He was a lot closer to Luke Woodham than he led the court to believe. That's what's disturbing to me."[28]

>Dr. James Justin Sledge is a prominent member of the academic religious community and runs the YouTube channel ESOTERICA. He states on his website that he is not available for comment on the shooting.[29]

If you take life advice from either Hegel or Kant you will end up in an insane asylum
