Rene Guenon is a major figure for anyone who recognises a need to
rediscover the spiritual roots from which Western society has
become so comprehensively alienated. Immersing himself in the
search for spiritual truth, he chose Islam as the vehicle for his
spiritual life. Settling in Egypt, he clarified and deepened our
understanding of the teachings of traditional metaphysics, his
central message being that there is at the source of all humanity's
traditions a 'Primordial Tradition' -- a Universal Metaphysics
which sets out the principles that underlie this Tradition. The
truths it embodies are universal and unchanging, and form part of a
unified body of higher knowledge which transcends the multiplicity
of religious dogmas and philosophical systems that abound in
Western society. He wrote about the need to transcend the formal
and emotional aspect of religion in order to prepare ourselves for
an understanding of 'pure metaphysics'. He explained how
traditional societies achieved this, exploring the symbols used, in
order to help individuals forward to levels of understanding which
are otherwise inaccessible to minds blinkered by the limitations of
the currently prevailing Western approach to existence and its
meaning.
