What do people here think of traditionalism and perennial philosophy? Not just Julius Evola but Eliade and James and Jung and Watts and Huxley and all the associated figures from right to left. If there is wisdom to be found in philosophy is it not transhistorical? And does it not spring up in East as well as West? This is my favorite area of study but neither /his/ nor /x/ reads books so I come to you. Feel free to ask me anything. I'm groping enlightenment in my bedroom as we speak :^)

I'm stoic, what can I say?

I also have a weakness for trash tv but I guess that's a redundant turn of phrase.
>>7892261
What will your life have meant to yourself if you didn't bother to explore the boundaries of your soul?

Half of those are people who aimed to be cult leaders, you are a follower.

>>7892278
Define soul.

Also >>7892302 is right. The concept of an intimate soul may very well be be just a big spook.

Guenon opposes Tradition to Mysticism.

He doesn't like Mysticism.
