The Celestial & Super-Celestial
Exerpts from “Disputation Against the Judgement of the Astrologers” Now because things always proceed in the same order, it is not by chance that there is some other determined cause outside matter and above the natural principle of agency, by whose intention individual things lead appropriately to the most perfect … Continue reading
Through the Illusion, into the Dream
Gornahoor has been emphasizing the ancient ideal of polis over against the modern cosmopolitanism and egalitarianism.
