Remember ‘growing up’, which is a whole topic in itself, but schooling began in first grade with learning that one and one is two. Then you advanced to quadratic equasions, then calculus, then differential equations, where you learned that there are more than one answer to a problem. Magical and Mystical studies are similar. One and one is two, but that is the beginning, not the end, and by the way, there is no end.
Our purpose is to advance spiritually. We are spirits in human hostS to learn lessons from the physical world. To understand the physical is the beginning to undrstand the noN-physical world.
KNOW THYSELF, AND THOU SHALT KNOW THE UNIVERSE AND THE GODS
