Why are so many young people on this board so obsessed with Buddhism/Advaita non-dualism, Hinduism, Esotericism, Gnosticism, Guenon and other idolatries?
/lit/erature on how to fight this impulse in the West and return the young people to a better state for their soul?

>For the worship of abominable idols is the cause, and the beginning and end of all evil.
>For either they are mad when they are merry: or they prophesy lies, or they live unjustly, or easily forswear themselves.
>For whilst they trust in idols, which are without life, though they swear amiss, they look not to be hurt.
>But for two things they shall be justly punished, because they have thought not well of God, giving heed to idols, and have sworn unjustly, in guile despising justice.

(Wisdom 14:27-30)

>For of a truth, O Lord, the kings of the Assyrians have laid waste lands, and their countries.
>And they have cast their gods into the fire, for they were not gods, but the works of men's hands, of wood and stone: and they broke them in pieces.
>And now, O Lord our God, save us out of his hand: and let all the kingdoms of the earth know, that thou only art the Lord.

(Isaiah 37:18-20)

>The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.
>They have a mouth, but they speak not: they have eyes, but they see not.
>They have ears, but they hear not: neither is there any breath in their mouths.
>Let them that make them be like to them: and every one that trusteth in them.

(Psalm 134:15-18)


>Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind.

(Colossians 2:18)

>Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry. I speak to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all share the one loaf.

(1 Corinthians 10:14-17)

It's a socioeconomic thing. Wages have stagnated, monogamous relationships are increasingly difficult to get into because of exaggerated hypergamy from women and bitch-assedness among many young men, and it feels like a new crisis every week (even if it isn't much of a crisis at all).

All of that leads to the idea emerging in the minds of many young people (especially men) of "hmmmm maybe we should look for a different belief system, the ones we've been going with haven't brought any good fortune"

Actually none. I realized I'm a dumb-dumb and was looking at the trinity as 3 separate entities instead of one whole. The distinction arising due to our human perception, and not because God is split.
I probably shouldn't be thinking about all this shit, I'm too low IQ for it.

While their were many "Gnostic" sects of Christianity and Judaism in antiquity (it's about as broad a term as "Protestant") dualism was a commonality. Dualism and the idea that special knowledge allows you to know the true world as opposed to the material one is the core of Gnosticism. Any monists wouldn't fit the definition.

“As a rule, monistic religion has little or no attraction for those who definitely believe in God and for those who definitely do not believe in God, but those who have not resolved the question as to whether they believe in God or not are often attracted to it, because it offers a simple solution to their dilemma, and which seems to leave them at no disadvantage in relation to those with orthodox convictions. In a similar way, the hard alternatives of either personal immortality in the next life or persona extinction can also be similarly avoided by a conception of divinization which is in effect a compromise between the two, and which, from a personal point of view is a quasi-survival.

The distinction between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is a real one (not a mere conceptual distinction), but does not imply a splitting, since the Father is One and they are all of the same unique divine nature as the Father.

...Catholicism: between Covenant and Dispensation, it is the LATTER, not the former, that trivializes the Phenomenal. In letting the Phenomenal implicitly drift around and away from Divine participation, the latter gives it its own Ontological dignity, whereas the former's implicit and total participation deprives it of any and all properties and only allows it to exist proper inasmuch as it is merely an appearance for the will of God. The Catholic Phenomenal has no substance, no parts, no interaction, and no foundation, everything is Semiosis pertaining to the secret will of God, something readily confirmed by Materialism, a Catholic invention.
