    Dear Rawn and Simon,

    Rawn, thank you for your answers, I see it now. I think this
    intellectual understanding will be enough (and as much as I can
    currently have), that is, until the time is ripe to actually
    practice and see it all for myself :)
    As for the weather, luckily for me it starts to creep out of the
    winter here too, but we're still far away from 90 Fahrenheit!

    Simon, thank you for making yourself clearer, I understand what you
    meant now. I think that saying that some things exist which are
    objective, and yet can only be described subjectively (usually using
    metaphors from one's own personal background), is an excellent way
    to sum it all up in a not-so-confusing manner (just like you did in
    your closing paragraph) :).
    As for connecting science and the occult - I have to say that I held
    the same opinion for a long time, and most unfortunately I indeed
    encountered quite a lot of impatiency about it.
    Currently, I do hold science in great regard, and yet I see a simple
    problem with it: after all, most of scientific research is based on
    fitting a mathematical-theoretical model to experiential results.
    Any finite set of such experiential results can be explained using
    an infinite amount of theories - some of which may fail when the
    experiential results set is expanded, others may not (as indeed
    happened a myriad of times throughout history, at times even without
    any new experiments :). Because of that, as good as a theory may be,
    you can never know if it is the Truth. In Hermetics, and in all
    other forms of initiation, one seeks the ultimate Truth, and
    eventually he can know it. Perhaps he can only convey it in
    subjective terms, but the Truth itself is absolute.

    Daniel :)
