>guenon theoretically embraced islam
>but waited until their knowledge, faith and comprehension was completed.....

>What surprised me also was the regret of not having any biographical information about myself; this is something I have always been formally opposed to, and above all for a reason of principle, because, according to the traditional doctrine, individuals count for nothing and must disappear entirely... But, in spite of this, I am obliged at least to rectify erroneous assertions when they occur; for example, I cannot let it be said that I am "converted to Islam", because this way of presenting things is completely false; anyone who is aware of the essential unity of traditions is by that very fact "unconvertible" to anything, and he is even the only one who is so; but one can "settle", if it is permitted to express oneself in this way, in such or that tradition according to the circumstances, and especially for reasons of initiation.
— Correspondence with Alain Daniélou, René Guénon, Cairo, 27 August 1947

>In a quite general way, we can say that whoever is aware of the unity of traditions, whether by a simply theoretical understanding or, a fortiori, by an effective realization, is necessarily, by that very fact, "unconvertible". to anything; it is, moreover, the only one that truly is, the others always being able, in this respect, to be more or less at the mercy of contingent circumstances. One cannot denounce too vigorously the ambiguity that leads some to speak of "conversions" where there is no trace of it, because it is important to cut short the too many nonsense of this kind which is widespread in the profane world, and under which, very often, it is not difficult to guess intentions clearly hostile to all that pertains to esotericism.

>Guenon was initiated by Ivan Agueli but he was NOT his Shaykh. Agueli's initiation which passed to Guenon was from Elish El-Kebir, who was a very important Shaykh at that time and had connections with many europeans, he was also Mason. So he is Guenon's Shaykh, to whom Guenon dedicated his book "The Symbolism of the Cross".

Why are you using Guénon the larping esoteric mason as an example of a "convert to islam" in a normie religion thread, where you are talking about "theology" as a "theoretical intellectual formation" and where religion as such is not even well understood, nor is what is implied by "conversion. Matters of initiation are infact independent of what the profane term" faith, " and the theoretical formation is only initial, and is of a different order all together when compared to islamic " philosophers, " as such.

>guenonzooms will defend this

you guys literally got psyopped by a freemason
