We supposedly live in a multitasking world, but multitasking (called “task switching” in neuroscience) is very inefficient, mainly because there is a cognitive cost each time you switch between tasks. The cure is to do one thing at a time. That’s it in a nutshell. Do just what you’re doing and don’t do anything else.

  2. “This neither-neither I, shall transvalue ennui, fear, and all diseases to my wish. Dead is my misery in suffering! How could it exist in my Zodiac, unwilled?”
  3. “upon attainment of the K & C, the adept then takes up the task of aspiration unto the true and ultimate grail, the supernal Cup of Babalon.”
  4. “For in each Man his Inmost Light is the Core of his Star. That is, Hadit; and his Work is the Identification of himself with that Light.”
  5. Echoing all that has been written on and in favor of women, I am only trying to say that in the mystical and initiatory world “they do exist” also.
