    Thanks to heidegger, we
    Dare to put life to test
    I draw water and fire
    to rekindle deep love
    for rilke in the east:

    Our true face never speaks
    in language of duality
    thick masks of nihilism
    engulf the new age

    In fear of colored others
    suppressing sacred voices
    the asssembly of puppets
    disguising renaissance

    Tame and ride
    the tiger of time
    julius evola warned us
    or we will be eaten

    No one lives his life
    when he missed the
    secret of yin and yang
    in oneness of the Real

    i find this book very hard to understand, yet i have got this idea of how it should be read.
    you have to realize he takes off from the ground that when reflecting on reality, one is always reflecting on 'our reality', a reality we humans share with eachother, at least to a certain respect. this is why he uses his own vocabulary, to prevent distortion from ojectivication. reality, as percieved, is in the eye of the beholder, so in order to reflect on it you should use your perception and you dont have to take a stance from "outside". while this vocabulary might make the book confusing at first glance, it actually opens up the opportunity to enter into his point of view and follow his thoughts from there.
    im not sure if this is helpfull or even correct, but i suspect a rereading with this in mind might point you in the right direction. see for yourself.

    Can anyone explain to me the problem that this book is supposed to be solving?

    Or explain to me why that is not an appropriate way to be looking at it?
