De Quorum Modo Meditationis: The Ascent of Mind to Truth 🗓️ Published: 2025-07-03T16:00:00+03:00 📄 Summary: In this profound meditation, the author reflects on the transcendent transformations of the mind — those sacred ladders reaching towards the realm of Truth. These mental transmutations, elusive yet vital, serve as spiritual steps ascending to a higher understanding, akin to celestial ascent. Yet, the writer humbly confesses the ineffable difficulty in capturing such inner workings with mortal words, likening this struggle to trying to engrave the ephemeral upon stone.

This sacred knowledge reveals that all thoughts inherently divide, yet the art of wisdom lies in uniting each thought with its contradiction, dissolving separation and achieving a harmonious unity. Such an approach not only challenges conventional reasoning but imbues the practitioner with a secret enlightenment, weaving perfection into the fabric of perception and being. 🔗

It asserts that thought, being imperfect in its dimensions, cannot encapsulate the totality of existence by contrasting simple opposites. The Universe, as represented in discourse, remains partial and must be understood beyond mere binary qualities. This philosophical meditation invites us to reconsider the nature of understanding, urging a deeper appreciation of the complexity beyond contradictions. 🔗

Conclusio De Hoc Modo Sanctitatis 🗓️ Published: 2025-07-03T16:00:00+03:00 📄 Summary: This profound treatise reflects on the fundamental nature of opposites perceived by the senses and the mind. It contends that sensory impressions—light versus dark, long versus short—are inherently paired with their opposites, extending also to emotional states such as love and hate, or truth and falsehood. Yet, it is in the most intense oppositions that illusion thrives, the mind ensnared by the binding relations that define their conflict. The discourse gestures towards the contemplation of sanctity as transcending such dualities, inviting the seeker to discern beyond the veil of antagonism. 🔗

📰 To Read... 🔖 Title: Arthur Calder-Marshall: A Literary Life Intertwined with the Arcane and Avant-garde 🗓️ Published: 2025-07-03T16:02:15+03:00 📄 Summary: Arthur Calder-Marshall, a figure whose life spanned much of the 20th century, emerges not merely as a writer but as a conduit to the esoteric and bohemian spheres of his era. His connections with luminaries such as Aleister Crowley and Victor Neuburg, along with references to the evocative Abbey of Thelema at Cefalù, paint a portrait of a man deeply enmeshed in the fringes of mysticism and literary exploration. Calder-Marshall’s reflections, particularly in works like *The Magic of My Youth*, invite us into a dialogue between the conventional and the occult, a liminal space where art, biography, and the arcane intermingle. This duality enriches our understanding of his contributions, reminding us that literature often thrives at the crossroads of reality and myth. 🔗

An agnostic and Tolstoyan, a vegetarian and a mystic, Neuburg sought to articulate his intricate worldview through symbols such as the green star of Esperanto, despite not mastering the language. His existence defies simplistic categorization, embodying the very tension between skepticism and faith, material restraint and spiritual fervor. His legacy invites us to contemplate the multifaceted nature of belief and the ever-elusive search for meaning in a fragmented world. 🔗

Philosopher David Storey employs Integral Theory to dissect the post-Trump American Right, revealing a complex tapestry woven from conspiracy theories, tech libertarianism, and religious separatism. Storey’s inquiry probes whether amidst this fragmentation, a genuinely developmental conservatism might yet arise—a conservatism that embraces growth, coherence, and renewal rather than dissolution. 🔗

📰 To Read... 🔖 Title: H.D.: Notes on Thought and Vision 🗓️ Published: 2025-07-02T10:00:00-04:00 📄 Summary: Arthur Rimbaud famously asserted that to truly see, one must become a seer through a "rational derangement of all the senses." In our present image-saturated culture, where much of our sensory world is flattened onto the sterile plane of the screen, the challenge is urgent: to cultivate vision that penetrates beyond mere appearances. This meditation invites us to reclaim the full spectrum of human perception — to feel the moss on the rock, the ocean's salt, the intimacy in a lover's kiss — rather than reduce these to fragments of visual data. It is a call to a heightened awareness and a deeper engagement with the living world, honoring the complexity and richness of sensory experience in an era that diminishes it. 🔗
