It marks the state in which the passage from the individual to the universal is operative, and the well-known symbol of "walking on the Waters" represents emancipation from form, or liberation from the individual condition (René Guénon, ''The multiples states of the Being'', chapter 12, "The two chaoses").

René Guénon

René Jean-Marie-Joseph Guénon (15 November 1886 – 7 January 1951), also known as Abdalwâhid Yahiâ (Arabic: عبد الـوٰاحد يحيیٰ; ʿAbd al-Wāḥid Yaḥiā) was a French intellectual who remains an influential figure in the domain of metaphysics, having written on topics ranging from esotericism, "sacred science" and "traditional studies" to symbolism and initiation.

In his writings, he proposes "to expound directly some aspects of Eastern metaphysical doctrines" of "universal character", or "to adapt these same doctrines for Western readers while keeping strictly faithful to their spirit", following the Hindu pedagogy of "handing down" the doctrines while reiterating their "non-human character".

Initiated into Islamic esotericism from as early as 1910 when he was 24, he mainly wrote and published in French, and his works have been translated into more than twenty languages; he also wrote in Arabic an article for the journal Al Marifah.

2. Dugin is interesting as an anti–liberal thinker in that, while most nationalist writers remain within the limits of traditional Russian anti–Westernism, Dugin‘s writings and comments are informed by his intimate knowledge of a broad spectrum of non–Russian forms of anti–liberalism, including West European integral traditionalism (such as René Guenon, Julius Evola and Claudio Mutti), European and U.S. geopolitics (Alfred Mahen, Halford Mackinder and Karl Haushofer), Germany‘s so–called "Conservative Revolution" (including Carl Schmitt, Ernst Jßnger, Arthur Moeller van den Bruck) and the francophone, neo–Gramscian "New Right" (such as Alain de Benoist and Robert Steuckers). He generally, however, downplays the influence of these writers on his thinking, instead using the term "neo–Eurasianism," an explicit reference to a reputed Russian emigre intellectual movement of the 1'20s and 1'30s.
