Apologise

DUDE

There's literally no difference between magic and science.

LSD isn't in and of itself a means of transcendence, it's only one ingredient of a long series of ritual preperations

>implying any of these people actually read

Why do fedoratippers love this guy so much?

Evola is the anti-fedora in every single conceivable way

One of his lovers was a crazy Russian sex magician.

>For the process to proceed differently, it would go schematically as follows: at the point in which the drug frees energyxin an exterior way, an act of the Self, of "being," brings its own double energy,x+x,into the current and maintains it up to the end. Similarly, a wave, even if unexpected, serves a skilled swimmer with whom it collides by propelling him beyond it. Thus, there would be no collapse, the negative would be transformed into positive, no condition of passivity would be formed with respect to the drug, the experience in a certain way would be de-conditioned, and, as a result, one would not undergo an ecstatic dissolution, devoid of any true opening beyond the individual and only substantiated by sensations. Instead, in certain cases there would be the possibility of coming into contact with a superior dimension of reality, which was the intention of ancient, non-profane drug use. To a certain degree, the harmful effect of drugs would be eliminated.

>An effective use of these drugs would presuppose a preliminary "catharsis," that is, the proper neutralization of the individual unconscious substratum that is activated; then the images and senses could refer to a spiritual reality of a higher order, rather than being reduced to a subjective, visionary orgy. One should emphasize that the instances of this higher use of drugs were preceded not only by periods of preparation and purification of the subject, but also that the process was properly guided through the contemplation of certain symbols.

>In general, one must keep in mind that drug use even for a spiritual end, that is, to catch glimpses of transcendence, has its price.Howdrugs produce certain psychic effects has not yet been determined by modern science. It is said that some, like LSD, destroy certain brain cells. One point is certain: Habitual use of drugs brings a certain psychic disorganization; one should substitute for them the power of attaining analogous states through one's own means. Therefore, when one has chosen a path based on the maximum unification of all one's psychic faculties, these drawbacks must be kept firmly in mind.

Where are the best places to buy (preferably) hard-cover copies of Evola's books?

I'm concerned that most places like Amazon will just be poorly printed PDFs.

Amazon has the Arktos editions AFAIK which are all really nice.

Sorry, I'm wrong. It's published by Inner Traditions (at least mine are) but they're still nice editions.

Thank you very much, user. You've been really helpful.

>tfw Revolt Against The Modern World is out of stock

Neanderthal admixture in Europeans can be interpreted as confirming the Hyperborean Aryans theory, if you see it in a mythological sense.

Here's a PDF of it and more if you want it right away.

I only read physical books, but thanks regardless.

>implying

>ywn never read Evola's patrician introductions to Kabbalah, Sufism, Taoism, Neoplatonism, Theurgy, and Hinduism

Feels fucking bad man

Based MEMRI, can't believe this stuff is not more popular here.
I'm sure it will be back in stock soon, the three "basic" Evola books are becoming more and more popular lately it seems.

I emailed them about it and am anticipating a response.

>tfw you will never have a conversation with Evola on his death bed

I've read Evola, Schuon, a bit of Guenon, some Michaelstaedter, Weininger, got a Coomarasany book coming in the mail... Who'd I miss? Who are some other authors that write in an evocative, scholarly style about metaphysics and magic?

>Weininger
Hmm... Not to say it's not worth reading but he's kind of standing out here.

I'd suggest Eliade, to answer your question.

Tell me more about this

>tfw Evolas writing is one of a kind
>tfw only you can continue his legacy

Leave metaphysical kino to me

Evola was a drug addicted degenerate who contributed to the deconstruction of traditional aesthetics by his involvement in dadaism.

Traditionalism was probably him being ironic and trolling fascists and nazis. Pic related, Evola's """""""art""""""

His involvement with post modernism and futurist ideologies in his youth is one of the reasons he was able to so intuitively criticize them. You can't offer true, meaningful analysis of a subject without having some degree of personal involvement in it

There isn't a single person among us that has always been a Traditionalist either

Fedoratippers love him because he's anti-fedora? Is it ironic?

I read it in an academic paper written by some German guy about Evola and the "UR Group" he was part of. If I find it anytime soon I'll post it here. It's a very interesting account of Evola's involvement with contemporary occultist circles.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WHEN WILL THEY TRANSLATE INTRO TO MAGIC VOLUMES 2 & 3

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE FUCKING REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEREEEE

That would be awesome if you could find it. That sounds interesting

Here you go! It's a long read but isn't dry at all. The parts where he tries to resurrect the Roman Empire through magic and manages to scare Mussolini shitless in the process are very interesting.

Literally a Milo Yiannopoulous tier degenerate who pretends to be a conservative while being the human embodiment of syphilis.

I appreciate it user

Less than you'd think. He became impotent as a result of the injuries he sustained from a bomb blast while working for the SS.

That was an era much later than his peak in occult circles

Blavatsky, but you might be hearing echoes of Guenon there.

I'm working on revolt against the modern world. It's dense but interesting, my edition is annoying as it has some greek words but no footnotes or translation for them

I wonder how the early 20th century writers would feel about the modern trends in Islam? They were quite admiring of it back then

You're retarded. Evola was never addicted to a single drug. He dabbled in forms of hallucinogenics when he was young, and later espoused that they weren't good to do, both from a physical and spiritual perspective.

>le we're critiquing Evola from the right xD
Shut up and actually read one of his works.

Where did I say anything about drugs you mong?

>people endlessly asskissing or trashing Evola
>no one cares about Pareto

>Evola was a drug addicted degenerate

Even if you weren't the user in question, you were still worth quoting because you're of the same mindset as he.

Was he ever working for the SS? Sisn't they keep tabs on him and advise censors to keep him under control?

The link isn't working.

Not that I agree with that guy, but the experiences of LSD are substantially more intense and psychologically significant than that.

No they aren't, stop justifying doing drugs

memri tv snippets are fantastic

...

Where does this 'apologise' meme come from?

WEED

/sp/ I think

He says that all he ever did was give lectures and speeches to the SS commanders on philosophy and history, but that Himmler specifically chose him to come up with a concept of race.

I honestly think he's lying. He spent a long time in Germany and says that he ultimately like the National Socialists more than the Italian Fascists. He probably wanted to avoid being branded a companion of the Nazis.

Just search for Evola or the UR Group on the site

Himmler the occult circles of the SS conceived of the racial ideology of Aryanism than Hitler, who was first and foremost a Darwinian Eugenicist and only really held occultism as an aesthetic, albeit an important aesthetic in regards to the cultural expression of Nazism.

Evola conceived of race as a spiritual matter, conceptualized in terms of a threefold manifestation of body, soul and spirit, which ran opposed to the conception of scientific race that was held by the main circles of the SS intellectual elite. There was a rift within the SS in regards to Evola, who won over the more occult minded aspect of the organization, but over all his ideological thoughts were regarded as opposed to Nazism.

*differently than Hitler, I meant to say

This is what I gathered. Additionally, he successfully defended himself against accusations of being a fascist *in court*, and without a lawyer

He helped them hunt down Freemasons.
