>still less must this complacency which abjures Science claim that such rapturous haziness is superior to Science. This prophetic talk supposes that it is staying in the centre and in the depths, looks disdainfully at determinateness, and deliberately holds aloof from Notion and Necessity as products of that reflection which is at home only in the finite. But just as there is an empty breadth, so too there is an empty depth; and just as there is an extension of substance that pours forth as a finite multiplicity without the force to hold the multiplicity together, so there is an intensity without content, one that holds itself in as a sheer force without spread, and this is in now way distinguishable from superficiality... Such minds when they give themselves up to the uncontrolled ferment of substance, imagine that, by drawing a veil over self-consciousness and surrendering understanding they become beloved of God to whom He gives wisdom in sleep; and hence what they in fact receive, and bring to birth in their sleep, is nothing but dreams.

I have absolutely no idea what this nigga is talking about in this passage and I don't think you do either.

I don't understand the terminology perfect or much of the metaphysics but it's pretty easy to understand what he's saying about (in what the Op calls) traditionalism having vague feelings.

People on 4chan are addicted to 'rapturous haziness'

Sounds like he is attacking philosophers and systems that have no substance to them and are just wankery. Don't know how this is about traditionalism

>>19296358
he's attacking people that just let "pure awarness" define trascendental reality, like guenon or shankara
the idea that this world is an illusion and there's an eternal undefined God
he viewsthat as a metaphysical cop out, in which you renounce to actually engage with the metaphysical questions of the world, and let some vague mental constructs like "pure awarness" or "ultimate reality" solve the problem for you, disguising faith as logic

Inventing your own God/Word-order logically is a much better way of capturing multiplicities. The depths are just as dark, but you can pretend that Science automatically extends to and describes them completely.

What was Guenon’s response to this?

He was attacking Boehme, from whom he got the prose style. He call him and Bacon barbarians of mysticism and empriricism.
