Borella's book has the answers you are looking for. However beware because it's very detailed and definitely not an easy read. There is a lot of academic stuff on hermeneutics, you can jump from chapter to chapter if one particular point is becoming too heavy. This is how I read it.
>Has anyone read Sherrard? Is he similar? Any other authors like this? I know Seraphim Rose has a background in studying Guenon, but he didn't write much about it after he abandoned that way of thinking.
I knew about Sherrard when I left already perennialism thought so I never had the interest to read him.
Seraphim Rose definitely had perennialist influences, however he tries to hide it and often overcompensates in his books.

I read most major books of Guenon, I tend to recommend his works on symbolism (Roi du munde and Symbols of sacred science) and those against the modern world (Crisis of m.w. and Reign of quantity).
I would tell most people to avoid his books on Vedanta, and even the symbolism of the Cross because they can be confusing for beginners. They read Christianity in light of either Hindu or Sufi metaphysics and downplay the more genuine Christian point of view.
The real danger with the works of Guénon is that it's a lot of theory, giving confusing theorical knowledge, making people think they "got it" while having done absolutely nothing in true spiritual practice. For this reason I say just go with the books against the modern world.
