Philosophy for Mystics, Scientists and Magicians
Traditional philosophy is the body of knowledge and wisdom of the cosmos as a whole.
Science, magic and mysticism are not alternatives to each other; they are all part of this comprehensive wisdom.
Yet in the modern age, philosophy has degenerated into pedantry and word games, while science focuses on a small corner of reality. The effects on magic and mysticism have been equally destructive.
