Philosophical Speculations

Let'e recall how VT speaks about dogma: Hermetic philosophy, being the summary and synthesis of mysticism, gnosis and sacred magic, is not a philosophy among other philosophies, or a particular philosophical system amongst other particular philosophical systems.

You don't need to confirm it, Ashvin. It's already clear as day how you entertain your senses and your judgments, exactly in the way you describe. I wish you to eventually wake up from your hermetic enchantment.

As we look forward to Cleric’s new meditation, it’s the necessity to zoom out and recenter this discussion that stands out to me.
