Traditional Quotes and Symbols
The man who wishes to know the visible is obliged to know the Invisible.
The man who wishes to know the visible (to know it both in entirety and in depth) is obliged for that very reason to know the Invisible, on pain of absurdity and ineffectualness; to know it according to the principles which the very nature of the Invisible imposes on the human mind; hence to know it by being aware that the solution to the contradictions of the objective world is found only in the transpersonal essence of the subject, namely in the pure Intellect.
