“some might be surprised to see us say that reincarnation is an exclusively modern idea. Too many confusions and misconceptions have been going on for a century so that many people, even outside "neo-spiritualist" circles, are not seriously affected by them; this distortion has even reached such a point that official orientalists, for example, routinely interpret in a reincarnationist sense texts where there is no such thing, and that they have become completely incapable of understanding them in any other way. is to say that they understand absolutely nothing.” — René Guénon
