|
Date: January 18th, 2026 10:20 AM Author: vigorous mad-dog skullcap 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: pontificating cerebral yarmulke state 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: pontificating cerebral yarmulke state 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. |

my mom did put me in double binds growing up, but my unconscious reaction to it was to choose a primary stabilizer of coherence - as long as something makes sense to me, even if it is "bad", it is easier for me to accept it |
|
Date: January 18th, 2026 10:42 AM Author: Vivacious Organic Girlfriend all words are labels. anyway my point is no one cares about this gay liberal arts shit unless they were raped as a child. most normies either (1) weren't raped; (2) are too dumb to know they were raped.

Date: January 18th, 2026 10:44 AM Author: vigorous mad-dog skullcap 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 |

so reading books is not worth your time, but posting goyslop on xo for 12 hours a day forever is? |

Date: January 18th, 2026 11:02 AM Author: vigorous mad-dog skullcap 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=2Firm#49598489) |

Date: January 18th, 2026 11:02 AM Author: sapphire internet-worthy coldplay fan regret you really would enjoy Symbolism of the Cross if you like that Guenon book
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: pontificating cerebral yarmulke state 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=2Firm#49598505) |
|
Date: January 18th, 2026 11:18 AM Author: sapphire internet-worthy coldplay fan regret 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: milky slimy principal's office 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! |
