Action by Nonaction, calmness and peace?
What about the Holy Madmen?
Well, nonaction is not bound by social convention. To the siddha, all action has the same value, it is only the prejudices and limitations of the observers dualistic mind which might see the enlightened action as unconventional, outrageous, and insane.
You have a style and quality to yourself. That isn’t going to disappear upon enlightenment.
Therefore, prior to the loss of ego, condition yourself to be filled with compassion, and purge of yourself the selfish.
The loss of ego can metastasize into total insanity if one is not morally and mentally sound prior to initiation.
Divine madness is okay and acceptable ... but it is separated from total insanity only by a matter of degree. Take caution, so that ultimate reality manifests to you, in an acceptable, albeit quirky, way.

About fifty books on China including some original editions on rice paper.
About fifty books also dealing with Hebraism, some of which are in Hebrew - We should mention the Latin translation of the Zohar and Sefer Yetzirah, a small bound book dating from 1552, of which there is only one copy in the world, that of the National Library.

The names of Matgioi, Stanislas de Guaita, Martinès de Pasqually, Sédir, Papus, Burnouf, Eliphas Lévy, Saint Yves d´Alveydres, and other well-known esotericists are abundantly represented in them. Among the more recent books, many bear the dedication of René Guénon.

"There is a fountain of truth from which two parallel streams run their historical course; the one is philosophy, the other is theology. True philosophy is Platonism and true theology is Christianity. These two varieties of truth are ultimately joined, for Ficino accepted at face value the story of Plato's having come into contact with the Pentateuch, several times quoting Numenius' characterization of Plato as a "Greek speaking Moses."
Although the Scriptures form the basis of true religion and the writings of Plato the basis of true philosophy, according to Ficino there had already been in even more ancient times a long development of philosophical truth. This is found principally in the prisca theologia (or prisca philosophia or philosophia priscorum), a long religio-philosophical tradition, held by Ficino to date back to Moses:
'In those things which pertain to theology the six great theologians of former times concur. Of whom the first is said to have been Zoroaster, head of the magi; the second is Hermes Trismegistus, originator of the priests of Egypt. Orpheus succeeded Hermes. Aglaophemus was initiated to the sacred things of Orpheus. Pythagoras succeeded Aglaophemus in theology. To Pythagoras succeeded Plato, who in his writings encompassed those men's universal wisdom, added to it, and elucidated it.'
Ficino emphasizes that the philosophy of the ancients (prisci) is nothing other than a "learned religion (docta religio)"; and he seems to have identified the whole tradition with a pia quaedam philosophia, which was consummated in Plato, emphasizing, for example, that "Plato was imbued with the divine mysteries of Hermes Trismegistus."
