“The Engineering of Coincidence: a scientific explanation of magic” by Robert Ramsay

Magick Matters

"Fireballs. Wands. Turning people into frogs. Everyone knows that wizards like Harry Potter are fictional. But is there real magic in the world? The psychiatrist Carl Jung was obsessed with coincidences that seemed too incredible to be truly coincidental. He was convinced that they revealed a deeper level of reality, and called this revelation ‘synchronicity’. Years of rigorous scientific experiments have shown that people are capable of reading each other’s minds, influencing random number generators, and even seeing into the future.

“God 4.0: On the Nature of Higher Consciousness and the Experience Called God” by Robert Ornstein

Magick Matters

"A stunning unification of science and tradition for a revolutionary new concept of spirituality to address the challenges of the modern world, the book explores how our “everyday” mind works as a device for selecting just a few parts of the outside reality that are important for our survival.

Magick Matters

"This book traces developments in cyberpunk culture through a close engagement with the novels of the ‘godfather of cyberpunk’, William Gibson.

By identifying cyberpunk ways of seeing with cyberpunk ways of being, the author shows how a visual style is crucial to cyberpunk on a philosophical level, as well as on an aesthetic level. Tracing a trajectory over Gibson’s work that brings him from an emphasis on the visual that elevates the human over posthuman entities...>>

“Medical Astrology: Galactic Code — Understanding the Galactic Energies of the Human Biological Systems” by Tatiana Galperina Schneider

Magick Matters

"Medical Astrology: Galactic Code describes the fascinating discovery of the Galactic Code. As the genetic code composes proteins from nucleic acids, the Galactic Code forms the structures for the main biological systems from the energies of the constellations of the Zodiac. The Human systems form the Zodiac Ecliptic around each person similar to the one in the sky. This "Human Ecliptic" determines the major energies of the body and its biological systems.
