Instructional Overview

Learning takes place in developmental stages, where one stage lays the foundation to build another of increasing complexity, and therefore a wider world view. Ten stages are grouped into a Decade, the decade defining a concentration of learning for a specific part of the Magnum Opus.

Rather than use the conventional Alchemical, Sanskrit or medieval Latin terms, we've gone for a more up-to-date method using references from Science Fiction and Fantasy, as people tend to be more familiar with a muggle (J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter) than a caecus (medieval Latin), even though they both refer to someone who is "blind" to the metaphysical side of things.

The initial decades concern:

1. The "Internals"; developing an understanding of biological energies, referred to as Ch'i, Qi or Prana in Eastern metaphysical systems, and elixir in the West. This decade teaches how to comprehend these internal energies, acquire them from external sources, manipulate them, and even transmit them back out. Start out as a true Seeker, and end up a Tomorrow Person.
2. Anima Mundi deals with the metaphysical realm, a conjugate to the spatial realm we are familiar with but every bit as real--once you know how to access it. This is the realm of the Soul and the Heart, where one discovers who they are, why they are here and what they can do.
3. Altermundi deals with the realm of Ethics and the Spirit and a world view that starts to expand beyond this world's view.
4. The Decade of Logos.
5. The Decade of Agapé.
6. The Decade of the Magus.
7. The Decade of Avatars.

Before getting started with the stages, I would like to make one thing clear: on this Path, there ARE NO TEACHERS--ONLY GUIDES. I don't mind sharing what I've learned, as do others that have walked this way, but if you decide to walk this path for yourself, you'll have to get those legs in motion... nobody is going to do it for you.

Down to Gehenna,
Or up to the Throne,
He travels fastest,
Who travels alone.

--R. Kipling, Story of Gadsby, 1888
