A beautiful interview. Physically his appearance is frail due to numerous health problems, including two heart attacks, a stroke and a diagnosis of Marfan syndrome in 1990s, but spiritually the deep state of peace is shining through. It is as if the more broken the body, the more evident and present the spirit. He has created one of the most beautiful pieces of music.

55:43. “there is no such thing as a humanism without God that does not fall into the infra-human” Wonderfully put!

Moore Mark Martinez Cynthia Taylor Christopher

37:16 where he finally addresses the topic.. Everything before that is nothing more but unnecessary introductions of people of the past.

Few.

57:16 - great point!

who's song author\band

I’m having trouble hearing the name mentioned at 34:40 so I can look into their works. If anyone could please let me know if you know the name. Thank you!

now this is a gem, i love hyperborea.

For Christ sake, why did you post this video that is only 43 seconds long!!? Where's the rest on the interview?

Schuon gave in to petty individualism, ecumenism and crazy syncretism. He became delusional as he could not see himself as what he really was or should be. He is a very sketchy writer, and doctrinally weak, as he doesn't even fully understand the difference between the exoteric and the esoteric point of view. Guénon on the other hand is the bestower of the pure, untainted Traditional doctrine, true esoterism, as far as it allows itself to be transmitted in a written form. He is doctrinally perfect, uncompromising and free of individualistic taint, not to mention a devout, good and kind hearted man. There is no possible comparison between them. What Lings intends to say is that Schuon really goes more into detail on exoteric side of things, while Guenón stays more strictly in the esoterism. That's what he means when he says that "there is much in Schuon that cannot be found in Guenón". Yet, as I've already said, Lings was far from being a reliable matter in this issue, as he took Schuon's side in the split, even betraying Guenón's trust (something I won't go into right now). For instance, the part of that statement that says that "everything that is in Guenón is also in Schuon" is simply and verifiably false. To name only a few things, there is an absolute absence in Schuon's writings about anything regarding the King of the World (and the fact the some of his followers went on a trip looking for Agartha only goes to show the absurd level of their ignorance on this matter), and also almost nothing regarding the institutional, systematic character of initiation, or of initiatic order for that matter. His writings are also significantly lacking when it comes to traditional symbolism when compared to Guenón, and even more lacking when it comes to criticism of the modern world and pseudo-religions. He also never fully understood some key differences between exoterism and esoterism (such as the difference between mysticism and initiation, which really is laughable for someone claiming to be a spiritual master). His writings can only compare with Guenón's in terms of Metaphysics, but even then with severe reservations. He's more of a comparative religion scholar than anything, besides the whole "cult" fiasco. Now, the other part of Lings' statement, that there are things in Schuon that aren't present in Guenón, may have some truth to it, but even then it must be qualified: because here he is referring to Schuon's writings on exoterism and spiritual guidance, things Guenón never intended to do. But then again, what is the value of that coming from a traditionalist, when we already have the saints and sages of each exoteric form (traditional religion) to provide us with it? What we need from traditionalists is to reveal the esoteric Tradition within the particular traditional forms, and not to take their places! So, all in all, I wouldn't say Schuon has much going for him over Guenón at all. Of course, you could point out to Schuon's practical function as a shaykh, spiritual master, that put him in a more direct relation in regards to the spiritual Work of others in itself, but it suffices to take a quick glance at his "tariqah" and what became of it to realize how that failed on all accounts, turning into a firepit of deceit, lies and scandal (be it from accusers or defenders). That is not in small part due to his doctrinal errors and individual insufficiencies of course, which we crystallized through superbia and pride. Schuon should've taken Guenón as a master and continued his work as a faithful disciple, but his western individualistic temperament got the better of him, and he only got worse with time. He was wrong on every account in the pseudo-intellectual fiasco of a book that he shamelessly released on Guenón's centenary as polemics against him (trying to "correct" him, as you say, and erring, missing the point, or shamelessly and gratuitously attacking him at every turn), and that's not to mention his ever increasing scandals and lunacies. The traditionalists that followed more closely the directions Guenón had pointed are much more interesting, such as Michel Valsan and others, but they are much unknown in the anglophone world, even for traditionalist standards. Ananda Coomaraswamy was much closer to what Schuon should've been from the beginning, apart from his special "function" of Spiritual Master and initiator in the West of course, which made his orthodoxy that much more crucial and necessary, and his heterodoxy that much more destructive. Lings, unfortunately, it's obviously not a reliable source on this matter, as he was always a fanatical partisan of Schuon from the beginning. Also, it must be said, one can only laugh upon hearing Lings talk about how some of Guénon's writings are "unpublisheable" because of supposed "mistakes", especially when one knows that he, as the editor of the English version Guénon's Symbols of the Sacred Science, adulterated and censored some of Guénon's paragraphs to render them more in line woth Schuon's views! He really shows his true colors when he says that; as a fanatical schuonian, Guénon's "mistakes" to him are anything that is not in agreement with Schuon, and that is certainly no trustworthy way of determining the truth of the matter (specially when you consider how many errors are published in Schuon's work and carrer as a spiritual master in general, most of them arriving from his divergence from Guénon, and still his followers kept silent). Now why can't one simply be faithful to what Guénon wrote and publish it as it is and, if one wishes, commenting on it later, but rather dogmatically censor it is beyond me. And it is doubtful that what Lings considers "mistakes" would be considered as such by Guénon himself. It suffices to read his correspondence to get a sense of this. oeuvre-de-rene-guenon.blogspot.com/2019/02/la-fonction-de-frithjof-schuon.html?m=1 archive.org/details/refutation-des-quelques-critiques-de-f.-schuon/page/n29/mode/1up archive.org/details/c-1970-80-sources-dossier-sg-vol-2_202307/Poulat

Best answer from the blessed mouth of Primordial Man HimSelf about HimSelf. Aptly called the 'Seal of the Sages'.

Looking at these paintings I feel something. I feel like a sleeper agent and these paintings are like awakening me or something.

anyone who has even the slightest contact with islam is a madman

A bowl of manure, topped with the freshest whipped cream, does not constitute dessert. Eastern Orthodoxy is that. Tradition had taken over sacred scripture to where even godless religions, in Tavener's naivete are equal to Christianity...

A hungarian song playing over some Karadzic goons surreal art, yeah I can assure you this is a drugtrip at 2 am.

Powerful lecture and such great insights on Guenon and Schuon.

ESTA MUSICA ME HIZO LLORAR

The text goes too fast for me to read it. I find myself having to pause all the time.

But still pray to a man . This man confines the way to truth inside his silos

Haha😅 man’s intellection can’t reach the absolute, and it needs revelation, way and work to get understanding

Most of the information I’ve seen so far as related to Perennialism so far has primarily highlighted Genon and Frizjoff… how or why did this discussion become so engrossed with Evola is a bit puzzling and has somehow painted quite a grim picture overall on the topic of Perennialism. Whether this was the intention or not.. that is difficult to say. Bit disappointing meanwhile. I had not perceived Evola as a prominent figure in Perennial philosophy at least not a very positive one.

Great stuff

Per sempre 4:15

Intellect+ heart. Rhe self : dispassion+ stillness+ peace.. Then the invocation

The Jesus prayer is for the beginners, just to focus the mind and invoke energy of bliss. Then when the self starts awaken and moves on towards other atomic worlds, ( uncreated light) experience different levels of illumination, understanding, and mastering. The goal is through continues experience to achieve detachment, dispassion, so he, she can purified. Then illumination, and different stages of union with different reality States. From ego center personality, towards unity center reality.the pure consciousness is starting evolving. Freedom from the lower and attachment to the higher.

Im not crying we will win

Shaykh Nasr is a rare Islamic sufi saint of the 21st century. It is to our benefit that we are privileged to access his lecture & teachings during this era.

Gold.

from a old pro church musician who knows about breathing and praying and sometimes chewing gum and walking....can't do any of that without Gods help. so delighted to meet Bishop Ware at last even if only 8 biblical days past. He was looking in better shape than my Orthodox Study Bible with his editing between the duct tape.

serbians and japans not Aryan but Beautiful Arts!

A great man

Somehow, I just knew, before clicking on this video, that the music would be some sort of "badass" repetitive drumbeat. Is it so soon forgotten that the attraction of the vulgar is diametrically opposed to Traditionalism...? haha (pseudo intellectual here)

Ibn Arabi, al-Hallaj, Abdul Qadir al-Jilani, Guénon, Meister Eckhardt, Shankara Charya... and all true Gnostics from time immemorial have had crucial ideas the opposite of Frithjof Schuon's. Read about THEIR ideas here: Frithjof Schuon: A last minute lesson in discernment And I swear that I tell the whole truth, so help me God. If I lie or calumniate anyone, may I and my most loved ones be cursed like Muhammad swore concerning the delegation from Najran.

My ancestor :)

How true😊

his opinions on the relative aspects of spirituality are really so stupid and primitive, but this one really is an example of what keeps my interest in schuon alive
