“Logic: A Very Short Introduction” by Graham Priest

Magick Matters

"Logic is often perceived as having little to do with the rest of philosophy, and even less to do with real life.

Magick Matters

"You are about to dive inward on an experiential journey with first introducing you to another aspect of Self. The Being, larger part of Self. Once experienced, this larger part of you is where you will energetically pinpoint from where you are hemorrhaging your precious energy. It is also from this subtle space of Being-ness where you can clearly see all that is Human about you. This energetic movement can be clearly seen from the space of Being. You can awaken NOW and shift your perception to where your healing power, abundance, inner peace, natural compassion and more! There are no words for this shift. "...>>
