Hello Daniel, Regarding your statement: "Second, by the principle of correspondence, would a very advanced person be able to mentally mimic the process of creation?" Being a person who was exposed to fantasy role playing games, such as dungeons & dragons, as an 80's teen and then later in life being exposed to Hermetics, Alchemy, etc. I have "symbolically" created a multiverse inside of me that is an internal representation of my quest for the Greater Self. As the Game Master of this internal Tree, I have the opportunity to interact with other "symbolic" Greater Selves (i,e: the other game players who are studying the same or similar esoteric paths that have chosen to create characters to explore my inner realms. Some of the other players have created their own inner realms as well, in which case I have created characters to explore their Worlds. Using the system of role playing I have been able to put a lot of what I have studied into "action". The dice used alone are excellent for divination (each die is an example of Sacred Geometry). I am currently working on a story/novel that chronicles my inner journey that does a much better job of indicating the great potential role playing offers that I can send a portion of to you if you like. Thanks for presenting such an interesting question. Rawn, thank you for providing such an insightful reply. Peace and Compassion, Kokayi __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
