“As soon as a philosophical question is answered, it ceases to be a philosophical question and becomes science.” – Prof. Willard Van Orman Quine, PhD. Philo.[1]
“Is there such a thing as true chaos or is there, just, complex system order?” is more than just a meandering question for the Akashic Practitioner. It is “part-and-parcel” of a faith, a belief, and knowledge. The lattice work of Philosophy is layered and strengthened with the demonstrations of Science and invested with the force of Art.
"Human knowledge and human power meet in one; for where the cause is not known the effect cannot be produced. Nature to be commanded must be obeyed; and that which in contemplation is as the cause is in operation as the rule." [2] Nam et ipsa scientia potestas est! ~ And thus knowledge, Scientia, is power…but only if you know how to acquire it.
For the Akashic Practitioner, knowledge is “The Golden Means” of Science by rule of The Gold Mean of Natural Philosophy and its evolution. Hence, an Akashic practitioner pursues an education in Social Holism, the Singularity of Matter, and of the influence of consciousness on life, expressed through the works and demonstration of Sacred Geometry, Complexity (currently the exploration of Quantum mechanics and Emergence), and Spiritual Alchemy. These are the mainstays of the Akashic Practitioner ever-mindful that “without Mathematics there is no Art.”[3]
Albert Einstein said “The Mind is the sole governing agency of the body.” Where the Mind goes, so goes the body; where the body goes, so goes the soul. “The body is the temple where the soul comes to worship life;” [4] so, the mechanics and mathematics of magick gives structure to The Will of consciousness. By learning the sciences of Nature, we learn the language of the Divine.
