This treatise is by no means intended to convince the reader that what is presented is any more true than what they already believe or maintain as faith. 

Throughout the four sections of this text you will explore the twilight world, venture to the Garden of Paradise and back, shake hands with God, and learn about superphysical events in sacred scriptures – for what is the difference between magic and miracle? 

An extensive overview of etymology, mythology, science, magic, miracle, supernatural phenomena, demonology, shamanism, altered states of consciousness, select symbols, cosmogony, and Ancient Mystery traditions is provided with the purest intent and objectivity. 

You are invited to explore the secret teachings and sacred mysteries, from the Temple of Solomon to the Revelation of St John; realizing along the way that the Kingdom of Heaven is within you and the Eschaton is without you.

If you agree to read this book then you are embarking on the sacred WAY as a mystodokos, or initiate receiving the mysteries, and are thus one step closer to understanding the mysterium tremendum et fascinans.
