Hermetics: Consciousness & Hyperperceptivity
MYTHS
By Robert Zucker
 "The
study of myths raises a methodological problem, in that it cannel be
carried out according to the Cartesian principle of breaking down the
difficulty into as many parts as may be necessary for finding the
solution.
There is no real end to mythological analysis, no hidden unity to be grasped once the breaking down process has been completed.
Themes can be split up ad infinitum. Just when you
think you have disentangled and separated them, you realize that they
are knitting together again in response to the operation, of unexpected
affinities.
Consequently the unity of the myth.. .is a
phenomenon of the imagination, resulting from the attempt
interpretation; and its function is to endow the myth with synthetic
form and prevent its disintegration into a confusion of opposites."

"The Secret Teachings of All Ages"
Manly Palmer Hall
In 1928, a 20-something
Renaissance man named Manly Hall self-published a vast encyclopedia of
the occult, believing that "modern" ideas of progress and materialism
were displacing more important and ancient modes of knowledge. Hall's
text has become a classic reference, dizzying in its breadth: various
chapters explore Rosicrucianism, Kabbalah, alchemy, cryptology, Tarot,
pyramids, the Zodiac, Pythagorean philosophy, Masonry and gemology,
among other topics. Includes a 16-page color insert.
