Despite the tremendous service Guénon provided us (you link above to his excellent Initiation and Spiritual Realisation above), events have shown him to be (as I put it elsewhere) optimistic (he died in 1952).
The only realistic position given the facts, as I see it, in the context of degeneration (such as you have yourself experienced) is to live as a "man among the ruins" which (as I know you appreciate) is the Evolian method.
Guénon was accused of overestimating the power of the "East" as you say; but it is perhaps better put to consider that he underestimated the power of the "West" over the geographical East even of his day.
Stated differently, in the 12th century, for example, we in Europe were not "Western" in Guénonian terms; we were "Eastern".
Something I have come to understand explicitly only recently is that the true dichotomy is not between East and West, or Capitalism and Communism; it is between Tradition (in the Guénonian sense) and Technique (in the Ellulian sense). At least, that framework allows me to make better sense of things.
56 - wowzers!
Also, thank you for clarifying the exact functionality, very important.
Hadn't realised until a recent demo showing a built-in word count functionality. First random word count I selected was 'Rahmaan' - 21; great tool.
For ar-raḥmān it is 56: https://reader.quranite.com/verses/arabicSearchResult/?type=word&word=2LHZkdmO2K3ZktmF2Y7ZsNmG
For raḥmān, as you say, it is 21: https://reader.quranite.com/verses/arabicSearchResult/?type=arabic&word=2bHZhNix2ZHZjtit2ZLZhdmO2YDZsNmG2ZA=

I now note...
56 / 7 yields 8 - note, 5678.
He created 8 objects (7 skies/heavens, 1 earth) in 6 - a rate of 3/4 (0.75).
Pretty cool
Dear Yusuf,
A most insightful comment.
