  2. “‘This you know. I am parched and perishing.’ — The Hymns of Orpheus, cont’d.”
  3. “We also posses a field of middle unconscious (traditional subconscious) into which we have our imaginative facilities, memory, and ready access information needed for daily live (Chesed – Yesod).”
  4. “While many therapists and esotericists are familiar with the writings of Carl Jung and have applied them in some form to their respective work, the realm of therapy that is most important to esoteric students during practical alchemical and ritual work is more closely akin to Freud than Jung. Depth psychology is often overlooked in the rush to the mountaintop, and Jung has been gutted by many of his would be advocates of his psychoanalytical content. Yet even both of these systems combined will only give a glimpse into the interior worlds, as they lack effective techniques for the kind of initiation that most esotericists seek.”
  5. “‘I am a child of the earth and of starry heaven, but my race is of heaven.’ — The Hymn of Orpheus, cont’d.”
