    Dear Peter,

    >> One aspect that I do not agree with
    would be the idea of mind-body dualism. To me, the mind and body are
    essentially one and the same. So the brain is a necessary consequence
    of us having a mind, and so the mind is a necessary consequence of us
    having a brain. In some respects it reminds me of the statement for
    Mulkuth in the pattern on the trestleboard, "10. The Kingdom of
    Spirit is embodied in my flesh." Which appears to say that
    physicality is a natural consequence of the primal expression of
    spirit. <<

    I'm not suggesting a dualism between body and Mind. However, there is a
    hierarchy of causality. In other words, physicality is a natural
    consequence of a mental causality but that mental causality is not a
    consequence of physicality. This hierarchy of causality is important to
    the practicalities of Hermetic magic since the magician works with the
    higher causalities in order to affect the lower consequences. For
    example, when one wishes to directly perceive essential meaning, one
    doesn't consciously activate the right hemisphere of the brain; instead,
    one willfully adjusts one's mental state.

    >> Moreover, over my years of studying and practicing all sorts of
    esoteric things, some of which where quite questionable, I came to the
    conclusion long ago that it is probably best to exhaust all possible
    physiological explinations before moving into the realm of
    metaphysical explinations. <<

    :) That's a good attitude!

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
