“This then is the place and the sense of the “second religiosity.” The
picture can be completed by referring to Guenon. He has stated that after nineteenth-century
materialism and positivism had closed man off to what was effectively
above him — the truly supernatural, the transcendent — the many
twentieth-century currents appearing under the guise of “spirituality”
or “new psychology” tended to open him up to that which was beneath him —
beneath the existential level that generally corresponds to the
complete human being. One might also use an expression of Aldous Huxley,
who speaks of a “self-transcendence downwards” as opposed to a
“self-transcendence upwards.”
–Julius Evola
