Too often the Mystical is seen as disconnected from the "'Real' World". What is this so-called "'Real' World"? You think you know it as that which you can touch and feel – the world you plant your feet on and that feeds you. You think it's really solid stuff.
You're wrong! The "'Real' World" isn't really solid stuff, and the Mystical is actually the very stuff of reality – the far greater reality. The Mystical is about understanding how things really work, and how you can benefit from personal exploration and experience in what is referred to as "the Magical Universe". The Magical Universe is where real things happen and is the same universe studied by modern scientists at the cutting edge of quantum physics and consciousness, and studied for ages by mystics, philosophers, Kabbalists, shamans, hermeticists, yogis, alchemists – those dimensions lying behind, below, inside, and above what you once thought of as the only "real" world.
Concise and insightful, The Mystic Foundation explores many Pathways to Enlightenment – their inner reality models described & illustrated with diagrams and charts – Alchemy, Ascension, Buddhism, Christianity, Druidism, Hermetic Ceremonial Magic, Hinduism, Judaism, Martial Arts, Paganism, Shamanism, Shinto, Sufism, Thelema, Theosophy, Witchcraft, Yoga and more. These are accompanied by practical exercises, sacred texts, and rituals for you to fully experience their power to move you between the worlds. An extensive glossary of mystical terms facilitates your understanding across these many systems to build your personal realization.
