|
Date: January 18th, 2026 10:20 AM Author: mint exhilarant heaven reading party I don't think I've ever been seriously influenced by anything I've read in the sense you're talking about. I could not care less about philosophical babbling and think it's just how a certain class of person jacks themselves off
LOTR was certainly the most enjoyable book I've read given its quality and the time in my life when I read it but it's not like it totally changed my life or world view. It's just a really good book. |

Date: January 18th, 2026 10:27 AM Author: burgundy legend everyone has beliefs, friend. it sounds like you're not interested in investigating or challenging your own, which is fine - its a blessing in a way not to have cognitive dissonance between one's lived experiences and ones beliefs
i may revisit LOTR at some point, i read it back in the day and thought it was fine but not super memorable. stephan hoeller thinks its a gnostic parable |

Date: January 18th, 2026 10:34 AM Author: burgundy legend to dumb it down even further (it was already dumbed down): everyone has beliefs. if one's experiences conflict with those beliefs, it causes angst. if your beliefs match your experiences then you don't have such angst. this is a blessing in some ways.
if your beliefs and your experiences clash, then one feels compelled to investigate those beliefs to resolve the angst. hence, reading. |

Date: January 18th, 2026 10:44 AM Author: mint exhilarant heaven reading party Yes and I don't have to read hundreds of pages of slop to understand an argument. Philosophers are horrible writers and reading hundreds of pages of word vomit is not worth my time when the salient points could've fit on a page
The world isn't complicated and I don't need to spend hundreds of hours reading air to understand what I think. You obviously conclude this means I am just acting on instinct and have never challenged my beliefs because you can't comprehend someone doing this on their own and not needing to be "influenced" to do so |

Date: January 18th, 2026 11:02 AM Author: mint exhilarant heaven reading party I read plenty of books, just not philosophy. Why would I want to read hundreds of pages of poorly written intellectual masturbation instead of the one page summary of the actual argument being put forth? Compare this to say reading fiction or about history etc. where the reading is the fun part. And yes I've wasted tens of thousands of hours in my life and if my option in another life were to waste them again or spend them reading Nietzsche and Kant and all the other shit ass writers original texts I would waste them again (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5823528&forum_id=2...id.#49598489) |

it answered a lot of inquiries i had and helped me understand how the cross gets subverted like the swastika by different factions of control throughout time |
|
Date: January 18th, 2026 11:10 AM Author: burgundy legend i appreciated guenon's book but struggled through it and hated his writing style. i'll consider adding it though, thankl. i currently see the cross symbol as representing the crucifixion of opposites which happens to everyone on this plane, with the center of the cross representing an attempt of synthesis toward wholeness (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5823528&forum_id=2...id.#49598505) |
|
Date: January 18th, 2026 11:18 AM Author: Zippy vibrant gay wizard Here is the summary of the symbol of the cross and its hidden meaning according to René Guénon in The Symbolism of the Cross:
Guénon interprets the cross not merely as a religious icon, but as a multidimensional metaphysical diagram that maps the total realization of the "Universal Man" and the integration of all states of existence.
The horizontal plane represents the indefinite expansion of possibilities within a single grade of existence (such as the human individual state), while the vertical axis signifies the hierarchy of multiple states ascending toward the transcendent Principle.
Ultimately, the intersection of these lines marks the "Invariable Middle," the center of perfect equilibrium where the being transcends time and space to achieve true unity with the Absolute.
tl;dr - It's imo also a simplified form of the archetypal forces of Jacob/Israel who was the middle column between mercy - abraham and judgmenet/severity - yithzaak and resembles a cross in the adom kadmon form of Zeir Anpin, the emotional sephirot centered on Tiferet (Beauty) aka Jacob/Israel, the transcendent revelation of God to Creation and a perceptible manifestation of the essential Divine infinity - extending finitely in the form of man but infinitely in its transcendent state |
|
Date: January 18th, 2026 3:04 PM Author: Snowy multi-colored national To be fair,
Weird that a Jewish man like you would end up "interpreting" the cross as representing some sort of highly abstract and extremely faggy conceptual gay pseudo-philosophical bullshit, instead of, you know... idk just seeing it as an obvious symbolic reminder of the crucifixion of the Son of God aka Jesus Christ here on Earth (which was followed by his resurrection from the dead to redeem us all).
Odd case, very interesting! |
