guenonfag still posts he just doesn't post guenon specifically as much, he may be the one posting the daily mahabharata threads but hard to tell.

the original guenon threads weren't him, they were a more muslim guy who admired guenon, guenonag just ended up taking them over because they became his personal argument zone. he now uses buddhist threads for that purpose so maybe he gets his fix elsewhere

I found this guy's channel recently and love his stuff so far. He has a few series on Guenon so far this one and one on "East and West" and one on "Introduction to the Study of Hindu Doctrines".

Honestly I think they are pretty high quality, and a quick browse reveals that he has other work on other philosophers such as hegel, evola, and others.

If you know any other good quality Guenon posters on YouTube I'd be happy if you shared them as well.

They evolved into a meta discussion where Guenon is discussed by proxy whenever Shankara/AdvaitaVedanta is brought up in Buddhism and Hinduism threads. They are not gone, they are just behind hermeneutical layers of board lore and proxy symbolism.

There was a pretty good /trad/ thread this past summer before guenonposters ruined it towards the end. It was the one where I posted the Sacred Web conference lecture videos.

I deactivated the links to the SW videos. I may make another thread in the future and scan Frithjof Schuon's book The Eye of the Heart, which is ridiculously hard to find.

I have read a good amount of his work, but I still think it's worthwhile to use other people's published interpretation of Guenon as supplementary tools for a better understanding. I suppose ultimately you can then ask

>If you've read Guenon's work then why aren't you trying to reconstitute an intellectual elite to save the western world from annihilation?

For one I admit that I'm incapable of such a thing as I have not "peered beyond the veil" but honestly it really is a lot of work. It is something that even Plato in his Republic didn't really do. He didn't want to talk about how this ideal civilization would come about but what qualities it would have. Guenon also hasn't done this work in the same vein, I suppose it's up to the "elect" to figure that out.
