GENIUS FORUMS

"The generative energy, which, when we are loose, dissipates and makes us unclean, when we are continent, invigorates and inspires us. Chastity is the flowering of man; and what are called Genius, Heroism, Holiness, and the like, are but various fruits which succeed it." - Henry David Thor...

Hello Trevor (and the rest), I never pretended my initial post was a masterpiece of literature, but a rough stimulus to further thoughts. The critique you offer amounts to nothing more than irrelevant quibbling and playground taunts. You say I pull concepts from every which way, but the mind of the ...

I have a friend who is a so-called hardcore empiricist, who believes faithfully in modern sexology and is demanding empiroco-material proof that ascesis is not harmful but beneficial... The quotations were not "thrown", I cited them for brainstorming and context, and I can assure you, I am...

Ok, guys, you've made it clear that there is a psychological gap between myself and most of the posters here. No one needs to freak out, I just won't post anymore and challenge the sacred cows of modernism. The level of self-complacency, puerility and vulgar modernist hubris is too much.

Perhaps instead of glibly and childishly proclaiming the "idiocy" of the statements of the above philosophers on the subject of asceticism, you could actually explain why these statements are "idiotic." Please remember to repress any typically modern immaturity and classlessness ...

Perhaps the heads of the site (David Quinn, Kevin Solway, etc.) should indicate to me whether I am in the right place or not? I thought I had found a small community of authentic wisdom-seekers interested in nothing but actual knowledge, people who have mentally transcended contemporary fallacies, s...

Wow, another disappointment. Elizabeth thought I would receive more intelligent responses in the GENIUS forum. Perhaps you should refrain from responding to my posts in view of your limitations, Philosophaster. Your Freudo-Marxist explanation of my psychology is laughable, to the say the least. So o...

There are some fools in this world, victims of rationalist materialist Enlightenment propaganda, who falsely posit a conflict between science and religion, reason and mysticism. In reality, mysticism is just a form of 'higher science' or 'higher reason'. Just read the anti-reductionist views of the ...

Thank you Elizabeth for your attempt at explanation. I swear I didn't mean to sound arrogant; it was just that after reviewing the absolute.net, my expectations were very high, and when I got mainly standard-scientistic-materialistic, juvenile, masturbatory responses I was emotionally disappointed. ...

This is not the type of response I expected. I thought perhaps I had found a community of like-minded believers in radical philosophical purity across all spheres of life. I assumed most people here would be at a certain psychological, educational and spiritual level, beyond modern fleshliness, vulg...

Here is an intro to the second most prominent Traditionalist, Sicilian aristocrat Julius Evola: (The similarity of arrived viewpoints between The Absolute thinkers and the Traditionalists is quite interesting) http://www.centrostudilaruna.it/jenseitseng.html Julius Evola, A Philosopher in the Age of...

Intro to Guenon: http://www.geocities.com/integral_tradition/guenon.html (BTW, the site is an excellent collection anti-modernist figures and texts in general) RENÉ GUÉNON (ABD AL-WAHID YAHYA) Considered to be the founder of the Traditionalist school, Guenon was born in Blois, France on November 1...

Greetings everyone: After initial examination, I believe I have a found a very valuable web community of authentic seekers after the forgotten ways of virtue. With that in mind, has anyone studied the French metaphysician Rene Guenon here? The ideas here and Guenon's own are broadly consonant: the m...
