>Guenon is now forgotten on /lit/The Darkest Age has officially started... beware anons: what was raised up must come crashing down for the high to return once more.
What a gay-ass name. "Gooey-NON" God, I fucking hate the French.
This is a Schuonen board now,
>>25335675He's not, it's just that traditionalism posts attract low effort trolls. Go check out the Evola thread up at the moment. There's maybe four people in a thread that long genuinely engaging, the rest are frogposting tards and leftypol gays.
never shall I forget his moustacheas he tickles my brain with PBUHand takes down the Hylics
Recommend me some Gooman as someone unfamiliar
I remember that Geunon poster who seemed like a schizo but he was funny
>>25335675The Trad posting/discussion on X is very active
>>25335906Start with his first book or Crisis of the Modern World
>>253359061962, Fundamental Symbols. Compiled post mortem, but it's fine. The reign of quantity and signs of the times+crisis of the modern world aren't bad either.
>>25335925Everywhere else that a person can possibly talk about literature is active besides /lit/. We’ve completely shit the bed on here and I have no clue why.
>>25335929Frog posters, endless 'muh women', the karl marx guy. The fiction generals have that pagespammer, and the guy obsessed with gay sex stories in the web novel general. The philosophy and religion tards who talk about it here instead of /his/. It's a weird bunch. I generally have about ten unblocked threads and they're rarely very active. I mostly read /tg/ and we occasionally get fantastic literature threads even with all our problems.The frogposts don't really count. It's the same as the rest of the site. Usually drawn from the booru, repeats over time with three pixels changed usually in the right eye to defeat filters. I assume that's a low rent version of mining the chans.
>>25335933And yeah, religion/philosophy can be /lit/ but mostly it's just a picture of someone and HEY THEY WERE RIGHT without even mentioning a book or blatant baitposts. I'm still undecided on wether the kant poster is trollint, retarded or huffing his own farts.
>>25335933>I mostly read /tg/So true xister
>>25335675Why the long face?
>>25335853Is this the guy who started a nudist mary cult?
Anyone shilling for the Templars is automatically sus. All these gay traditionalists larper's are spooks funded by internationalist bankers and old money nobles. Don't buy into their bs.
>>25335675What a grifter. There were never ruins, it's the same operating system underneath.
>>25336147There's nothing to understand, it's all to be discarded.
Are there contemporary guenonists writing books?
>>25335929>>253359334chan traffic died significantly ever since the hack happened and it never recovered. It left a vacuum that was filled by pajeets making ragebait threads that they screenshot and post on xitter, as well as colonizers from places like reddit or CIA/JIDF bots. Most of the people who actually made discussion bearable or interesting moved to other places and what's left are schizos that have nowhere else to go.
>>25335933yeah well the problem is lack of religion and women are destroying civilization as a result>>25335675guenon also didnt read the Bible and the summa theologiae of thomas aquinas, and, most people who read those books are convinced that pastors should be celibate and everyone has to do everything the pope says, which is to say, they are retarded. the west is dying because white people are stupid
>>25335925anything i can say with my real name isnt even worth me saying it, leave it to other men who are paid to say those things
>>25335900I like Evola. Guenon not so much.
>>25336228Guenon likely read the Quran though
>>25335933/his/ is a shithole not befitting for a Christian such as myself. can't talk about scripture or the church fathers or scholastics in good faith there, so to speak without some fedora tipper going "but how does God let kids die of cancer?" zero intellectuall engagement.
>>25335675>Guenon is now forgotten on /lit/I can finally start visiting regularly again. I left when he started being spammed everywhere. /lit/ was a pretty good board until then.
>>25336429Well, tough shit, that's the religion board. It's why they slapped humanities in in the first place.
>>25336424Guenon literally converted and became a sufi muslim, changed his name and died in.. egypt, I think. He saw the sufi as the only initiatory tradition accessible to westerners for some reason.
>>25335933>The philosophy and religion tards who talk about it here instead of /his/.t. faggot who has never witnessed the posting culture on /his/
>>25336578Nice divide & conquer
>>25336621Read the sticky, fag. It says it right there.>>25336618Oh, I'm sorry, did you want AAAAAA I CHOSE THE ALABAMA SOUTHERN BAPTIST CHURCH AND NOW I AM BURNING AAAAA or POSTING EVERY DAY SO YOU DON'T FORGET THE ALAMO or WHY IS KANT SECRETLY A JEWISH WIZARD PHILSOOPHER
>>25336424the quran is the mad ravings of a coomer warlord, its impossible for a human to take seriously
>>25335853more like shonen
>>25335675is he like the charlie kirk of the 80s or somethin?
>>25335933Philosophy and religion belong on /lit/, /his/ is an abomination of a board and should unironically be closed, and I've had this opinion since the day it was created.The reason why this board's quality is so low is simple: nobody here actually reads. Everyone that truly reads and still visits this shithole probably does the same thing I do - quickly scroll the catalog in under a minute, maybe open a thread or two, before closing the board for the day.There's no reason to actually try and qualitypost anymore.
>>25336171Hassan Spiker doesn’t explicitly identify as Guenonian but he is implicitly carrying out Guenon's approach and is very clearly influenced by him.>>25336147> Anyone shilling for the Templars is automatically sus. He doesn’t “shill for the templars”, he just noted they were likely in possession of some genuine initiatic metaphysical knowledge but dont really exist anymore.>All these gay traditionalists larper's are spooks funded by internationalist bankers and old money noblesNobles and royalty are not inherently good or bad. Some of them get coopted into the ZOG/Bilderberg structure while some become more nationalist/reactionary or get into Traditionalism.
>>25336228> guenon also didnt read the Bible and the summa theologiae of thomas aquinas,Yes he did, and he shows he is well aquatinted with scholastic distinctions in his book, in his view Aquinas while admirable doesn’t go far enough and his metaphysics is incomplete or arguably inconsistent.
>>25336580> He saw the sufi as the only initiatory tradition accessible to westerners for some reason.He never actually claimed this, later Muslim Guenonians put those words in his mouth. He certainly viewed Sufi Islam as being the most easily accessible and the most easiest for a westerner to integrate into for obvious historical, geographic and cultural reasons; although he never once said or even suggests westerners could not authentically be initiated into other eastern traditions. Caste-based Hinduism is off limits but Tantric Hinduism, Vajrayana Buddhism etc are fully open to westerners to join and receive traditional initiations. The average westerner is just not psychologically equipped to do this and it requires a certain kind of intellectual elite who has a knack for discerning the principles underlying the form.
Is there any way to stay Christian if you agree with guenon
>>25338914Yes, there are Christian Guenonians like Jean Borella (Catholic) and Philip Sherrard (Orthodox) and James Cutsinger (Orthodox) one or both of the latter two has written beautifully on a Christian vision of Guenon style perennialism but I forget which man.Being a committed infernalist is incompatible with Guenonian worldview IMO (and is also incoherent and silly but I digress), but you can be a committed deep believer in Christianity but earnestly believe that God works through other religions as well but that Christianity is still the highest/ideal explication of universal truth.
>>25338922Its hard to say if Guenon is actually a religious person or if he's an atheist who drunk from the well of "humans need religion not because it is objectively true or that spirituality exists but because without its laws and traditions and long connection to the past we are lost as a race"Nobody who has actually read him and understood him would say this
>>25338897They fight amongst themselves for control of resources through cults and secret societies and were just caught in the middle, believing in their horseshit and, in many cases, willfully wanting to believe it despite knowing it's bs. Guenon either was a naive person who wanted to believe or he was a spook.
>>25335675What's the actual point of wasting time on this shit when Rortyite liberals can just dismiss you out of hand and gain more followers by appealing to people's worldly desires in a much better way? Why not focus on killing as many people as possible instead?
>>25339076I do not tempt the Gods. I have my own karma.I shant
