Wrong board

'Where do you workout?"
"The library."
I tried to read Teresa of Avila and found her miserable. John of the Cross is worthy of sainthood though.
>Teresa of Avila
wrote her works during the Spanish Inquisition
competed against nun Magdalena de la Cruz-definitely planted by the fallen to undermine Teresa's reforms
>John of the Cross
Happy feast day anons
/fitlit/ thread?
Sure, why not? Who are the ISTest saints and mystics?
I remember reading about a desert father that moved rock boulders all day while praying the Jesus prayer so that he would not fall into sloth.
That was a good April 1st
John of the Cross has IST vibes. I might even go so far as to say he is “literally me.” Idk about Teresa though.
Does having weird religious books on your shelf even work getting babes?
Not the goal. I have a trad girlfriend but am celibate.
What's the goal then? Do those books help her get laid?
Tri-Cities?

I REFUSE to read anything written by a woman.
Edith Hamilton has a single good book, and Camille Paglia has some based quotes, but that is IT as far as good female authors go. Notice they both happen to be non-traditional lesbians, ie. spiritual men ?
Fitlit thread I guess?
Anyways started reading Beam Stoker's dracula and I'm enjoying it quite a bit. Only 100 pages in I'm a super slow reader. Its been a while.
*Bram Stoker. Fricking autocorrect
what am I in for
Existential dread for the rest of life.
I'm mixed about having read this.
it seems okay so far
i appreciate the characterization of becker's thoughts as "the science of evil"
It's not too bad, but when he starts talking about the different layers of what motivates a man it struck a chord that's still ringing
Recently got back into reading after swearing I wouldn't read another book until I finished the Bible. Took me a long time, but I made it. Followed it up with some Kierkegaard which I really enjoyed. Right now I'm just chilling out and trying to read Pynchon's stuff and taking a break with Murakami when Pynchon gets too overwhelming
Are these more accessible than cloud of unknowing? I found that too dense to get anything out of
Don't know but would HIGHLY recommend reading something like the Catholic Catechism as a great base text for everything Christianity and then reading those.
Is The Mystery of the Grail a good beginning to Evola?
So they say. Read it not too long ago and it was a little hard to follow, but ultimately thought it was very interesting. Made me realize there a ton of books on the subject of the grail.
