Glad to see you are picking back up with the Guenon lectures!
I feel I have more in common w/believing Muslims than I do with de facto materialist Catholics. My "stance" toward Islam/Muslims, and countries like Iran is completely opposite to what it used to be 10 years ago, thanks to channels such as yours.
I really appreciate your having unpacked/explained RG, FSchn, etc. I own all those books now and browse in them on the surface, but you have plumbed the depths so I don't have to, which is fortunate, since I could never. Thank you, Professor.
It makes me very happy to know that these videos are benefiting people.
Excellent presentation! I'm always happy to view your videos on Rene Geunon. That young man is lucky to have access to someone who can teach him these topics first hand.
Finally! Good to see the series back Saiyad.
Me too! 😊
Alhamdulillah, we have another brilliant commentary on Shaykh Guenon (Rahmatullahi Alai). Assalam alaykum, ya Ustad. May Allah reward you for your efforts. Ameen.
Welcome back sir 🎉😊, this gives me hope that you might continue the lectures on "كتاب المشاعر" 😃. God bless you 🌻
Excellent.
Was worried for a while!
Glad to see you are back on Sir! Good to see you are doing well.
Im a fully-committed supernaturalist, yet materialism settles upon me constantly, like the dust in Arizona. This is, perhaps, the reasoning behind the Credo in the Catholic liturgy, an attempt to brush the dust off.
It takes time, but one can "re-set" oneself, so to speak.
15:09 because of gravity as described by Einstein's theory of general relativity.
It's great that the series is back. I'll need some time to get back to the book, but I'll definitely watch this lecture soon.
I am very happy to see another upload by you so soon, Dr. Ahmad. Is it possible for you upload some videos on esoteric practices of sufism? If someone doesn't have any local congregation of certain sufi tariqa then is there any particular book that you would recommend for them to follow for their practices?
Working on it…
Off topic: Is that Batman (!) on the door? Full disclosure: I have the Joker on my wall.

Is that Batman?
No, not exactly. It is a "batman-based" logo of "Wildman Athletica", the founder is Mark Wildman who was a trainer to A-list actors in Hollywood for many years. For the last few years he has started training the general public. You can search under his name on You Tube as well as see his website: www.wildmanathletica.com/ .
