"The thesis of the book is that the spiritual and social conditions that characterize the Kali Yuga greatly decrease the effectiveness of purely intellectual, contemplative, and ritual paths. In this age of decadence the only way open to those seeking the great liberation is one of action." Evola saw further ahead than Guenon.

Tantrism > Vedanta

>> No.16700773

Yes. And as I say in every thread I see that mentions anything about this.
There's a reason why Guenon is a meme with threads and Evola is just insulted and shunned.
Evola actually puts us in the right direction and they (you know who you are), don't want that.

We have been in the Kali Yuga since 3102 BC, if that was really true then there wouldn't be so much evidence of the path of knowledge working in India for the last several thousand years, but clearly it has as demonstrated by the many who have followed it, even in the modern era like Ramana Maharshi and Nisargadatta Maharaj; ergo this self-aggrandizing claim is not true.

>Evola saw further ahead than Guenon.
>Tantrism > Vedanta
No he didn't, Evola makes a bunch of basic mistakes in that book which show that he had a superficial understanding of the doctrines which he comments on, particularly his comments about Advaita show that he had no idea what he was talking about. There are much better books on tantra.

This is not sports teams that you take sides on and root for you fucking retard, either read the source texts or stop posting about this stuff. People who only ever read secondary sources like Evola without reading actual tantric stuff but who still feel the need to posture about muh team is better are peak hylic.

>They want you in an commune, doing nothing but mulling over scripture.
Initiation = / = renunciation. If someone is drawn to renunciation, there is nothing wrong with that. But if someone is not drawn to renunciation, there are many other paths one can be initiated in which don't typically involve renunciation, including Sufism and various Hindu sects. Tantra is not the only area of Hinduism which places an emphasis on action.

Evola’s review of that book which you are referencing contains a bunch of the same basic mistakes about Vedanta as are found in his book on Tantra.

>>16703752
See the six posts starting with this one linked below which quote from the book review where he attacks Vedanta, Evola demonstrates a basic ignorance of the way in which Advaita relates Brahman to the world and to the individual jivas; Evola also confuses several of Advaita's positions with a metaphysics more resembling other Hindu schools like Bhedebheda and Evola also mistakenly regards various Vedantic concepts at times through the lenses of western philosophy like Hegelianism when that's not what they are actually talking about.

If you believe that there is one seeming fundamental contradiction or problem inherent in the metaphysics of Advaita, then you should be able to explain that problem yourself, in an unambiguous and non-sophistic way.

Any and all action fundamentally energizes life.

Astrologically Theoretically speaking, the more Fire or Cardinal you add, the more powerful something becomes. Fire/Cardinal meaning Action/Motion. Add more cardinal to Libra and you get more Inter-ACTION. Add more cardinal to Cancer and you get more Re-ACTION. Add more Cardinal to Capricorn and you get more effect and actions yielded through the constant motion of time. Add more fire to Leo and you have a Stronger thing of whatever type. Add more fire to Sagittarius and you have more motion/action acquired through the dynamic functions of change.

Sitting in the sense function of Air or Water or in the inert constancies of earth will not produce active effects. Meditating in a cave and exploring the depths of the psyche for all it's worth won't bring about the next Imperium or help you sort your life out, that shit will waste your time and atrophy your spiritual and functional prowess. Too much in modern life tries to exploit whatever motions we make for clock hours to serve our economic leviathan and it leaves us no time for the more spiritually fulfilling forms of action traditional man was used to doing regularly. This pain is felt most by the Warrior, Leader and Ascetic types(although the ascetic knows this more through esoteric wisdom than direct action) and the Bourgeois or Merchant caste, and the Sudra, Plebian or Labor caste understand these pains much less as this heavily economic age is tailored to their prefered mode of existence.

TL:DR
prACTice makes you better, being an escapist hippy loser doesn't.

I never said that I believe the ascetic is as good as the warrior, whether Evola can use ancient literature to argue that point is entirely on him. However, we must also not forget the sacred link between the Warrior and Ascetic, the Warrior comes to the Ascetic for wisdom, guidance and psychological/spiritual training. Some are meant to teach, some are meant to act. The teachers are just as able to be aware of the issue as the student, which is all I claimed, that the ascetic types are included in those aware of the nature of the problem facing the modern world.

>> No.16704335

>>16704313
To clarify again, Evola has you working with others to yield your results and strengthen yourselves. Lone wolfing it is not something that is generally spoke highly of unless it is absolute necessity or leisure. This includes the Ascetics, Ascetics aren't just shouting hoopla at the sky, they are teachers, which is a form of action, under Libra as I previously discussed.

>> No.16704355

>>16704313
The underlying implication we should be looking at is that there are other types of action than strictly on the physical plane. Feeling and thinking are also actions; plunging into those inner worlds can be (and often is) a far more arduous experience than any material conquest. The Buddha himself attested as much, not to mention the beings and vast intelligences of the higher worlds project thoughtforms and direct cosmic forces that eventually manifest upon the physical plane in inconceivable ways

My intention isn't to pit the warrior and aestic against each other either, infact I think the very basis of warriorship is inner ascetism that rivals that of the eremite. They never cross paths since their paths are one. The Magician and the Hermit.

Thinking isn't action, it's thinking, anyone can do it, some better than others but most overthink until they become cripplingly stagnant or bonkers, Evola talks about the impulse toward evasion in "The Mask and Face of Contemporary Spiritualism" wherein modern spiritualism is 100% comprised of escapist attitudes and half truths which allow the person to find elaborate ways of neglecting their duties or the greatest actions. It is a breeding ground for weakness and there is a large portion who has no clear personality and haven't done a damn thing to actualize into the world through ANY action whatsoever. These people are autistic faggot hippies not warriors and DEFINITELY not ascetics.

It's just plain escapism for 95% of his readers that aren't already decked out with that shit since birth usually through family and gurus. Trust me I've seen it play our IRL. Even if they've read Evola they are given the choice of Warrior or Ascetic and they choose Ascetic out of a deep seated lack of personality and experience opting for the scholarly and intellectual attributes they think will help them but will only hurt and scramble them the same way Philosophy did. Action is MANDATORY for all types, there is a reason the warrior is below the ascetic, that is because a proper ascetic has the foundations of a warrior and the proper warrior has the foundations of an ascetic. However the Warrior path above all will train one to wield the action and much more of that is needed than that of Teachers of an inverse complementary quality.

TL:DR
If Evola or ANYONE had to tell you, that were an ascetic you are not at ascetic.

If the Universe isn't sending you warrior types you can always seem to help and embolden you are NOT an ascetic.

If you haven't already had several deep mystical experiences which compelled you to action by the age of 12 you are not an ascetic

I know actual Ascetics, they are very very very rare types and not usually even the type to have read or dealt with Evola except peripherally. They also aren't deluded retards or schizos trying to be something they're not.

Not trying to discourage anyone because you can definitely learn from aspects of it but in my experience and in the experience of many of those around me the ascetic thing is an escapist larp that you can easily sense to be faulty before you even begin. Just be a warrior you'll feel alot better actually hardening yourself and getting shit done instead of being a deluded fuckup.

Shankara uses the teleological argument from design in his Brahma Sutra Bhasya, and in the same text he also uses the ‘first-mover’ cosmological argument against both the insentient pradhana and the insentient atoms which are both considered to be the cause of the universe by the Samkhya and Vaisheshika schools respectively. Lastly, the Advaitin Gaudapada, the author of the Mandukya Karika, as well as Shankara in his commentary on that text both use a type of cosmological argument involving causation to argue that the Buddhist doctrine of dependent origination is unable to sufficiently provide a coherent explanation for the origin of the universe.

Why should it be the point of spirituality to focus on that which is not spirit?
And in what way is it highly neglected? It is surely the opposite in fact, that in their desire to reduce everything to a neat scientific and psychological basis and in their drive to reduce the value of all things to a quantitative value that modern westerners have totally neglected the inborn human capacity to intuitively discern suprarational and supersensuous truths. This neglect is so pronounced that countless people are unaware of or even doubt that they have this capacity. Until people are introduced to or taught these higher modes of non-discursive understanding the tangible is actually the only ground they have available to them.

>If you want to spend the whole time being a deluded retard playing in imaginary worlds
This is how Evola spent the remainder of his days, and this is how you too will spend them if you try to play at esoterism and related spiritual practices without actually being initiated into a valid tradition who can teach you the real, non-larping version of spiritual practices. Also,
it’s amusing that you use the word imaginary to refer to the non-physical, it’s almost like you have a subtle materialist bias which shows through from beneath your infatuation with Evola.

>modern spiritualism is escapist dementia
I’m not talking about modern spiritualism, I’m talking about the fact that spirituality by default pertains to the non-physical unless you wrongly equate matter with the spirit, and so your attack on the spiritual as such for not being a “matter-focused” spirituality just shows that not only do you not understand the metaphysical but you are evidently lost in confusion over the basic meanings of the terms you use.

I’m still not fully sure, I have not studied it closely, I agree with the metaphysics of Advaita more, which I am familiar with. Thomism and Advaita both agree that any logically consistent explanation for the origin of the existence of the world and our experience of it requires an unchanging and uncaused, infinite and sentient God. Past this there remain major differences between them. There exists a small body of published literature which attempts a possible reconciliation of their metaphysics but I have not read it.

Fine here you go.

I guess as far as you'd describe yourself you're a normie-ish dickhead memer. Your personality is rather able and externally adjusted but your strengths of which you have a bit don't really get applied optimally. You find studying to be a very accessible hobby and a natural path of action but you sometimes botch and diminish the potential gains of such study, this is no worry. Perhaps ((("""ADHD"""))) type impulsive explosive goofball/bully tendencies as a youth. Other than your general social stability, a rough spot is you often being explosively dickish which you know you need to keep in check. You're very cherished by those close to you and you have a nourishing effect.

>Trust me, if I saw No friends or crippling autism I'd say it. You have the typical 4channer chart build which is a little stunted for some reason but still not broken or otherwise fine depressed Doomer, of course there are also schizos and coomer neckbeards but I never seem to get those.
I have no autizmo but I stopped talking to all muh frenz, diverging life paths and my general lack of ambition to keep up with them. The only person I talk to on a day to day basis is my mom. It would be better if we could be on the same level for some things to have more meaningful conversation. Other than some occasional chats with relatives I really only spend time alone. I also live in one of the largest metropolitan cities in the world. I am not depressed but suffer from sort of suicidal ideation. Well maybe it's not ideation because I know exactly how I'm going to do it but I'd rather it not get to that point. It would be awful to those I'm aquainted with and the people who rely on me.
>Thoughts?
Here they are. I hope I didn't go on a tangent and apologize for talking about myself. It's something I rarely do.

Alright I'll admit it's been several months since doing this and that was a bit rusty. But from reading what you said and looking at the clearer model you gave me I see what's up now.

Based on how you replied I underweighed the Mercury in Aquarius in the first as well as the Saturn in Taurus. I also overweighed moon conjunct mars in Scorpio in the 9th (opposite saturn) which I assumed to be a sort of powerful mandated explosivity that's tough to mitigate and doesn't mesh nice with the Neptune Mercury Uranus in aquarius. I literally at a glance thought your sun was square to your mars, that's how sloppy the first pic was.

Saturn in Taurus opposite Mars in Scorpio would definitely make someone Lazy and defensive about their stillness.

Yeah I see it now, not dickhead but stubborn, gets in the way of your otherwise great mind which otherwise propells you through life. And GATE seems more accurate than ADHD now that I look at it. And your venus and sun are very very good, makes you rather likable and functionable and as I said with the venus in pisces in the 2nd "nourishing".

Sorry that wasn't so great. It's tough to draft one up in just 10-20 minutes when you're working with a hundred overlapping aspects and it's a shot in the dark. You'll be okay, find a way to put heart or mental safety nets in your work so you don't fall behind.

Alright heres my best guess, should be a bit quicker:

Autistic Brad-lite warrior. I envy you. Talkative AF, Smart AF, Questioning AF. Great Athletic Prowess. Really able to grind. Widespan general morality. A bit of overwhelming dislike of the normies you are so utterly involved with.

Your mars is PHENOMENAL, and you have a grand trine in water signs and water houses with the daddiest three planets (mars, jupiter, saturn)

Aggressive self talk but it makes you stronger. Very busy but very able.

Not to overburden you anon but I'd be interested in hearing how this looks since I have very little knowledge of astrology. If you're busy you can just take a glance and tell me if it's horrific, promising or run of the mill.

Lmao just git gud.
If you want the most foundational points of understanding for me and a few tricks:

- Always start with the blend of Elements and Qualities in terms of understanding the function of a Sign, Planet or House
- Leo/Sol is the Axis by which all things spin thereby you measure aspect function from the Sun
- Angles/Aspects have unique planetary functions too, there's not just "good and bad"
- Do not wander from a uniform working meaning for each symbol that expresses itself in each part of the chart (for example, Sagittarius IS Jupiter IS the 9th house and IS the Trine Aspect. All four of those have different ways of effecting the chart but they all introduce the SAME UNIFORM THING)
- Real ProTip: the Spring signs are uniquely essential and primordial in that Fire = Cardinal, Earth = Fixed and Air = Mutable and these splice to make the other signs as we go around the chart. Capricorn(Time) is the Inversely constructed compliment of Leo(Creation), Aquarius(Fixed Ontology) is the Inversely constructed compliment of Virgo(Nature), Sagittarius(Change) is the inversely constructed compliment of Libra(Interaction).
- Aries, Taurus and Gemini are not planetary domiciles, they are too primordial, they however can be exaltation zones
- Exhaltations/Detriment etc are more complicated than the traditional view, some are spot on, others not so much.

Kind of too much to say.

Okay since you said a general Vibe would suffice I'll give you what I can.

The best way I can generally describe the big issue I see is there's a bunch of different things forcefully and aggressively off pace. Not all of it is your fault. These things have a tendency to lead to some ruin but nothing that majorly effects (You) yourself but more so the circumstance and how you handle it.

The redeeming quality is PATIENCE and if and when you learn to control what you say and how you deal with the circumstances thrown at you. This chart overall has a lot of obstacles but the solution is clear and thorough, PATIENCE, and GOOD TIMING.

Seems accurate enough to me, I do have moments where I jump the gun and start thinking of an extreme course of action (though often without any results) or ramble for no other reason than to fill dead air. Will keep this in mind, thanks for the overview.

Eh, I didn't want to take up too much of your time.

But, if you don't mind, I would like to hear more about my Mars and my grand trine, I've had other astrologers mention the trine before but I never got the full context of what it all meant. Thanks.
