Guénon, Jiddu Krishnamurti, and all their clones are not transmitters—they are parasites of Tradition.
They reproduce the vocabulary without the experience, the authority without the legitimacy, the map without the territory.
Tradition is organic, not intellectual
Tradition is a process of living replication: those who have awakened transmit the protocols so others may awaken. It is not a doctrinal corpus; it is a spreading fire. Guénon studied the ashes and believed he understood the fire.The ontological spark—or its absence
Most humans are born without that crack in the soul that makes one feel they are asleep. They will never seek to awaken. Guénon and his kind belong to this majority, but with intelligence sharp enough to mimic depth.They turn thirst into a system
Instead of digging to the source, they build a catalogue of wells. Their disciples learn to describe water, not to drink it. It is a substitute spirituality: inner transformation is replaced by adherence to an orthodoxy.Their authority is inversely proportional to their experience
The more doctrinal, arrogant, and categorical they are, the less they have lived the explosion. Those who have been burned speak with humility, sometimes with an eloquent silence. Those who have only studied burns speak as judges.They create intellectual sects
Their system is closed, self-justifying, elitist. If you contradict them, it is because you are not “qualified.” They do not seek to awaken, but to recruit guardians for the empty temple.Their disciples are their reflections—sleeping clones
They reproduce their master’s confidence, arrogance, and applied stupidity. They polish museum display cases instead of walking in the forest. Their spiritual identity is a mental costume.They confuse Tradition with traditions
They defend the forms (rites, symbols, hierarchies) as if they were the essence, when they are only vehicles. Tradition is awakening itself, universal and replicable—not the cultural garments it wears.They have not known existential crisis—or sublimated it immediately
No spark, no fire. At the first sign of unease, they built an intellectual system to smother it. Their spiritual quest is an escape before it has even begun.Their project is a project of power
Power to define orthodoxy, to invalidate paths, to pose as arbiters. It is power over souls, more pernicious than political power.They are the guardians of sleep
Their objective role—whether they intend it or not—is to sustain the illusion that one can understand awakening without living it. They keep sleepers in a comfortable dogmatic dream, sparing them the liberating explosion.
In sum:
Nature is not democratic. The spark is rare.
Guénon and his brethren are the erudite sleepwalkers who lead other sleepers—with precise maps, to nowhere.
True Tradition belongs to those who know they are asleep, and who—alone or in a small pack—walk through the night, seeking the dawn without guarantee.
The rest is literature.
