Just for a moment… while you still have time… where does your knowledge come from?

Put aside your scientific understanding about the formation of clouds and fog… and consider this image.

Explore. The image is no clearer than your understanding of what you will find hiking into this valley.  This was one of the Alpine experiences of Byron, Goethe, Tolkien and Franz Hartmann. 

Who is Franz Hartmann? And why does it matter? He wrote “The Foundation of Christian Mysticism”.

Occult is an interesting throw-away domain. It is like a trash can in the science and philosophy labs where everything, that doesn’t quite fit the ‘accepted’ science or philosophy, is dumped.

Franz Hartmann wrote biographies of Jakob Böhme and Paracelsus. He drew links between the past and present.

He was of the day (b.1838, d.1912) when doctors were theologians because in medicine, doctors encounter the unexplainable. And theologians deal all the time with those things unexplainable. So we end up with a theosophical trash can of unexplainables. And those things, the unexplainables, become the reason why we have faith.

As 2024 begins, do not forget to question your sources of knowledge.
