“ Systems of divination, from geomancy down to reading by tea-leaves, are merely so many methods of obscuring the outer vision, in order that the inner vision may become open. Once the method is mastered, no system is necessary at all. Learn how to think, and you have learned to tap power at its source. ”
—Dr. John Silence
