Three Suns

Philosophers say that human knowledge should be based on three important and complementary parts: science, philosophy and religion.

Scientific and technological progress has brought many benefits to man, and the Renaissance with its scientific discoveries revolutionized the worldview of all mankind, radically changing the cognitive and educational systems. But it seems interesting that science, according to the philosopher and mystic of the 19th century Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, overthrew religion from the throne of tyranny, while taking the vacant place on the pedestal of totalitarianism. A fact that makes you think.

—Being unattainable means being careful with the world around you. Eating one quail instead of five. Not maiming plants just to make a brazier. Not exposing yourself to the force of the wind unnecessarily. Not taking advantage of people, not squeezing every last drop out of them, especially those you love.

—But I have never taken advantage of anyone, — I interjected. But don Juan said that he had, and so now I can only stupidly repeat that I am tired of them and that they bore me.

Magic is a journey with the purpose of return. Having won, we return to the Spirit, descending into hell. And from hell we bring trophies. One of such trophies is understanding.

One of the great problems of modern mystical philosophy is to rid the mass consciousness of the complacent belief that a little metaphysical speculation will free the individual from all responsibility and all the obligations of the mortal state. One of the first duties of man is self-improvement, for only by going through the centuries of self-improvement can we attain that state of wisdom for which we so ardently strive. The practice of mysticism is no substitute for improvement, nor does it give us any knowledge or mastery of the very arts and sciences whose mastery is necessary for our spiritual growth.

The things that people do can not under any conditions be more important than world the world. And thus a warrior treats the as an endless mystery and what people do as an endless folly.

The question of parents and children is one of the most difficult in the life of almost any person. The relationship between parents and children is part of the family relationship, the understanding and attitude to which is not considered in any way by the general educational system. A reasonable and healthy view of the essence of family interaction is almost never discussed in the family circle, and the disclosure of one's role in a complex family vicissitudes is given to the individual for independent consideration.

A reasonable person strives for knowledge, including knowledge of the abstract. The desire to join the "paranormal society", to find a teacher and to complete tasks is certainly a laudable desire and, to some extent, perhaps effective.

At the same time, for an ordinary person, everything is more prosaic. All he has is the world around him without illusions of being chosen. Castaneda talks about this in one of his interviews:
