Mathematical Occultism & Occult Mathematics (part I)

Episode Nine: Mathematical Occultism and Occult Mathematics Overview: Mathematics as a mental discipline. Training in thought-control. Mathematics as a system of occult development. Sense-free thinking. Alchemical Mathematics. Discussion Topics: The Seven Stages of Mathematical Mental Development: 1. Concentration 2. Memory 3. Imagination 4. Reason 5. Intuition 6. Discrimination 7. Victory Exercising the mind through problem-solving sharpens the Sword on the Magician's table. Studying mathematical theories grows new brain cells into organized stuctures for higher cognition. Where to begin: Symbolic Logic & Set Theory. Mathematics was used by the Pythagorean Brotherhood as a means to an end, but was not the goal itself. The true goal: to develop mental perception of the spiritual world. Sense-free thinking and how the intellect becomes clairvoyant. Mathematics takes us up to the treshhold of the spiritual world, but no farther. Mathematics is a means of occult education, where we use the same style of mathematical thinking to cognize the spiritual world. Mathematical alchemy encodes thought-forms into our astral body which allow us to grow organs of super-sensible perception. Plant alchemy & the mathematics of life: fractals. Mineral alchemy & geometric structure. Developing sense-free thinking through mathematical theories. Mathematical structures as worlds of thought-forms. Dimensionality and the spiritual worlds. Developing fourth-dimensional awareness. Mathematical concentration: definitions, examples, theorems. Mathematical meditation: free association, visualization of geometric objects, visualization of analytical constructions.
