>metaphysics are timeless >metaphysics stand outside of discursive thought >traditional societies are rooted in metaphysics >??? >you have to be initiated in a traditional society to be enlightened
why does guenon feel initiation is required and that the metaphysics of all traditional societies are equivalent?
>"[...] initiation is essentially the transmission of a spiritual influence, a transmission that can only take place through a regular, traditional organization, so that one cannot speak of initiation outside of an affiliation with an organization of this kind. We have explained that 'regularity' must be understood to exclude all pseudo-initiatic organizations, which, regardless of pretention and outward appearance, in no way possess any spiritual influence and thus are incapable of transmitting anything." why can the transmission only take place through a traditional organization?
