Thoroughly enjoyed this! Covered a lot of utterly fascinating ground relating to mysticism, techniques for accessing mystical states, meditation, metaphysics and much more. The conversation regarding this category of "techniques for accessing mystical states" was framed within an exploration of Kabbalah, Hermeticism and certain types of ritualistic magic. Learned a tremendous amount about these schools of thought which I wasn't intimately familiar with prior - so am thankful that my friend (who wishes to remain anonymous due to the sensitivity of topics discussed) took the time to riff with me today. Hope you all also derive some benefit from what was discussed!
