This is an appeal to those who can distinguish Tradition from Custom, those no longer willing to be on the outside looking in, and those who hear a positive message in Tradition rather than a message of constant criticism and complaint. This is a project with relevance not only for now, but one hundred years from now, a thousand years from now.
As we have pointed out, there are two streams of influence: the corporeal and the subtle. The biological issue is the easier to deal with and at the same time the least important. What is necessary and primary is the world of ideas. This is our focus. To that end we are implementing a plan. Ideally, with collaboration, since the results will come more quickly and will be more accurate. Regardless, it will be done.
Symbols and Diagrams
Traditional teachings rely on symbols and diagrams for their transmission, rather than texts alone. Rene Guenon, presumably because illustrators were not available, used geometric models to convey metaphysic ideas but only as text. These need to be drawn out. Thus we need people who can use Illustrator or mathematical modeling software to create these images.
Reference Work
Traditional ideas are scattered across many books and essays be various authors. Therefore, we plan a Reference work to organize these ideas. This will be accomplished via an on-line wiki. Thus we need someone who can set up and maintain such a wiki.
Translations and Transcriptions
There are several works that should be translated, primarily by Julius Evola. This is tedious work with little benefit. However, we plan a new approach. We will do a verbal translation of the text using voice recognition software. The result will be rough. Thus we need collaborators able to accurately transcribe the text and then redact it. This will make more translations available.
If you have an idea for an original article, send us an outline and we will publish it.
Much of this site seems to be rehashed portions of Guenon’s work to which nothing is really being added, and as such leaves no interest to those who already know this material. Why not change the format to periodically appearing original articles as one would find in other traditionalist journals?
POV ray is a free ray tracing program that seems capable of creating the many geometric models from Rene Guenon. This is an opportunity for someone with artistic talent and a metaphysical interest to combine the two. It is an interesting and valuable project. Please consider contributing.
