All Light, Everywhere (Theo Anthony, 2021)

Willy Schrödter, Commentaries on the Occult Philosophy of Agrippa

When the boundaries between the inner and the outer dissipate, the ego returns home, back into its original unity. In imagination—phantasy—the thin line between the inner and the outer begins to fade: the I of the abyss is the silent dialogue the soul has with itself. The same is true for the dreaming soul, asleep within its original lost unity, recovered, reconstituted—even if only for a moment—a confluence between the inner and outer is subsumed within the underworld. In imagination—the artist of the dream—there is a contraction of the ego back into its interior, bringing the wealth of its experiences to bear upon the soul.

Gregg Henriques’ Tree of Knowledge System

[A] theory of scientific knowledge that defines the human knower in relation to the known. It achieves this novel accomplishment by solving the problem of psychology and giving rise to a truly consilient view of the scientific landscape. It accomplishes this via dividing the evolution of behavioral complexity into four different planes of existence….The ToK also characterizes modern empirical natural science as a kind of justification system that functions to map complexity and change.

To reach a true state of unity, all parts of the self must transcend beyond their separate levels. When one can succeed in doing this, he or she will have a connection to a power beyond the self.

The movement of the light into the sphere of work. Bringing the wisdom back into the consciousness of humanity, so that it can rise proportionately to its descent, to meet the higher mind of the Soul.

The Calendarium Naturale Magicum Perpetuum is a late renaissance (c.1619 or 1620) grimoire and esoteric print of calendar engravings. Its full title is Magnum Grimorium sive Calendarium Naturale Magicum Perpetuum Profundissimam Rerum Secretissimarum Contemplationem Totiusque Philosophiae Cognitionem Complectens. It measures more than four feet long and about two feet wide, and includes an early example of a Pentagrammaton.

The “author” in the 1619/1620 Frankfurt print is given as Johann Baptist Grossschedel von Aicha, and attributes some of the engravings to Tycho Brahe. The original engraver is given as Theodor de Bry, as first published in 1582. This work predated, and influenced, the Rosicrucian furor.
