I had a dream last night where I was reading Guenon and pondering his teachings. Whilst this was happening, a great tsunami, 10,000 feet high, rose from the ocean and began to demolish everything in its path. I however, was protected. I sat upon a large stone statue head of Shankaracharya, and an orb of energy shielded me. After the destruction, I moved around to survey the damage, in a serpentine manner, akin to the snake who gave Gnosis to Adam and Eve. Several minutes had gone by, I suddenly was struck to the ground and a swarm of bees attacked me. Great Mother Gaia had assaulted me with hundreds of bee stings. I felt intense pain, and slowly, my body began to numb, and right before my death I awoke.

I believe this dream was my intuition, my spirt, speaking to me. It was alerting me that Guenon is only the beginning; it is Evola, rather, who completed the Perennial Philosophy.

The problem with Guenon is that he's reliant on a Buddhist framework (Advaita Vedanta) reinterpreted by theosophists and neovedantists. Evola at least goes beyond this.

Dear brother, be not afraid, for The Most Sacred One is on the side of those who seek knowledge. I'd recommend praying before embarking upon your journey discovering the works of the greatest intellectual of the last century, besides Schuon; so that you may be righteously guided through them.
However, if you wish for a recommendation, start with Man and His Becoming According to the Vedanta.

Quite a disastrous interpretation of your dream, most loved one. Evola is a sour fruit close to Guenon (pbuh). He had but virtual knowledge, and was too immersed in the world to actualize Man's potential.

Based. I would add to the other brother's suggestion and recommend inculcating oneself in the γνῶσις hidden within his The Multiple States of the Being. It is recommended to read each verse and repeat it numerous times until it penetrates the higher intellect; this will allow one to peer into the deeper layers of meanings in Man and His Becoming According to the Vedanta.

No, brother, they tell you to revert to your primordial state by recognizing non-duality and the illusory nature of 'change'. As the Prophet (pbuh) said:
>“No child is born but that he is upon natural instinct. His parents make him a Jew, or a Christian, or Magian. As an animal delivers a child with limbs intact, do you detect any flaw?” Then, Abu Huraira recited the verse, “The nature of Allah upon which he has set people,” (30:30).

That image is pure cope. The great Shankaracharya (pbuh) completely obliterated the illogical heresy known as Buddhism and vanquished it from India. He completely destroyed as incoherent and logically inconsistent ideas of the Hinayana and the Yogachara, and dismissed Madhyamaka as being unable to give any good reasons for their claims of emptiness (which is true). The Buddhist scholar Richard Robinson later went on to debunk Nagarjuna and Madhyamika (pic related), in fact there isn't an early school of Buddhism which hasn't been exposed illogical and contradictory, there simply is no logical Buddhist philosophy. I couldn't summarize it better than the infallible sage Shankaracharya (pbuh) himself when he wrote

"From whatever new points of view the Buddha's system is tested with reference to its probability, it gives way on all sides, like the walls of a well, dug in sandy soil. It has, in fact, no foundation whatever to rest upon and hence the attempts to use it as a guide in the practical concerns of life are mere folly. Moreover Buddha, by propounding the three mutually contradicting systems, teaching respectively the reality of the external world, the reality of ideas only and general nothingness, has himself made it clear that he was a man given to make incoherent assertions or else that hatred of all beings induced him to propound absurd doctrines by accepting which they would become thoroughly confused…Buddha’s doctrine has to be entirely disregarded by all those who have a regard for their own happiness."

The maker of that image lied, Robinson never accuses Nagarjuna of equivocating but rather points out how the logic Nagarjuna used in an attempt to expose the contradictions of his opponents views was actually heavily flawed. Hayes had a different objections to Nagarjuna and the person who made that image is trying to falsely imply that because Hayes was wrong therefore Robinson is to, but actually nobody has yet shown that anything Robinson wrote is wrong. The holes that Robinson pokes in Nagarjuna's logic are fatal to his whole system of Madhyamika, as his basis for claiming that 'having no views' is correct is the alleged contradictions of other views, but as Robinson points out Nagarjuna attempts to prove this using demonstrably fallacious reasoning.

Advaita is still closer to Buddhism than other schools of Hinduism, and its focus on jnana (knowing) rather than bhakti (devotion) puts it in the same realm as Buddhism. Shankara may have refuted Buddhism in some ways, but in others he was quite similar, and not in line with more traditional forms of Hinduism.

Race of the spirit just refers to the person’s racial intuition. It makes perfect sense that if each caste has a different intuition, hence why they are the caste they are, that such applies for race as well (granted that there is a degree of overlap between racial spirit and caste spirit; which has been the case since the original Hindus invaded the subcontinent of India.)
