holy based..

Bros, where can I find orthodox exegeses of Guenon's (swt) works? I grasp the literal meanings and even the metaphors, but I struggle with the deepermost layers of the Uncreated Light shining forth from the pages... My hand even got burnt once bros... I am afraid to read the texts...

Holy based. Wanted to post this thread myself, but here it is. I am glad that Guénon (pbuh) is going strong here, brothers!

>Guenon is just Shankara's reincarnation saying exactly what was in the Upanishads
This is unironically true though. Nice try at muddying the waters and mixing in degeneracy with the Ineffable Light of Guénon (pbuh).

>What is /lit/'s relationship to music?
One of retroactive refutation.

>Concerning non-vocal music, by which I mean one involving any use of pitched musical instruments, it is humbly and with all deference my opinion that all such activities should be abandoned in favour of purely vocal chants handed down through the oral tradition. It is more than likely that if a free reign of music was permitted in a society displaying even a slight state of decadence, there would remain very few musicians who display a true understanding of the traditional order and the purpose of music within it, which is a role purely subordinate to that of the traditional institutions; instead, as in the case of Europe, we might face ourselves with certain groups infiltrating the musical tradition and subverting it from within. Certainly, the historical record would bear this out. The events of the past few decades with the emergence of the most vile and repulsive 'composers' such as Erik Satie and Erwin Schulhoff offer the perfect example.
