satoshikamiya Posted November 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Like, I haven't yet indulged myself with the esoteric but I do enjoy reading Kant, Aristotle, Hume, Wittgenstein, Confucius, Laozi, Chanakya and such. Mostly western philosophy, modernism and such. Oh, I don't have a specific genre for writing it depends on my mood. My inspirations would be mostly just the sense of wonder and amazement originating from the fear that drives us and like, the unknown and so on. There's not much I know about these things though. I really like detective comics too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourmaline Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Okay you're good. Thank god you didn't say modern analytic trash like Sellar or charlatans like Hegel and cited good philosophers so we'll get along well. If you need help with esotericism or occultism, so stuff like Hermeticism, Kabbalahism, Gnosticism, whatever, just message me or something. I'm mostly into Hindu, Mahayana, and Dao stuff+favorite philosophers too are Schopenhauer and Wittgenstein though you probably read my profile considering the unsolicited remark on your esoteric ignorance. And what literary authors do you like?

Tourmaline Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 Hermeticism is an esoteric Greco-Egyptian philosophy. Its figurehead, Hermes Trismegistus, is likened to both Hermes (he has his own Caduceus) and Thoth (the Egyptian god of knowledge to whom the legendary Book of Thoth is attributed to), and is the author of the Hermetica.Kabbalahism is Jewish mysticism, the eponymous book its bedrock (though ofc you'll read Hebrew scripture and the Zohar first). Its contents are considered forbidden and ineffable by some, and they discuss the highest metaphysical aspects of God, otherwise referred to by names threefold: Ain, Ain Soph, and Ain Soph Aur. Ain Soph is very reminiscent of sunyata. It and Hermeticism are the base for most western occultism and magical study today.Gnosticism is a religion mainly influenced by Judaism, Christianity, Hermeticism, and Plato. It's where the ideas of the Demiurge and Sophia's divine spark were born, and it's useful in understanding the ascension to the Beatific vision. You'll know that these sorts of things are important to Wittgenstein, as all magical studies are, by his Remarks on Frazer's Golden Bough, which was Philosophical Investigations' progenitor, once its introduction but ultimately removed, where he discussed religion as a form of magic. He initially used Schopenhauer for his understanding of these things, who dunked Kant (then again everyone else has by now). If you like Confucius and Laozi then you have to like Mencius and Zhuangzi, too, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tourmaline Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 They're the secondary figures in Confucianism and Daoism respectively. They're like Nagarjuna to Buddha for Buddhism. If you like Daoism but have only read Laozi you should definitely read I Ching though. It's really formative for a lot of mystical understanding in the east even today, and divination is actually a pretty difficult discipline. It goes into archetypes, psychology, and comparative religion almost immediately, and with the rigor of esoteric hermeneutics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satoshikamiya Posted November 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 oh, sure. thank you i guess, although im not really interested in them much, i like stories more than philosophy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourmaline Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 I Ching and Zhuangzi are almost just metaphorical fables/allegories though if you really just like stories then you could read some Borges too and you can even talk to @@Maeriberii Haan about it. He can't get enough of these things. It's actually really cute in a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simping For Hina Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 You might like more Victorian Era writers, if you like Dickens. Mark Twain for obvious reasons, but given Bernard Shaw a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
