The Structure: The Tree of Life

"All arts lie in man, though not all are apparent. Awakening brings them out. To be taught is nothing; everything is in man, waiting to be awakened." — Paracelsus

This Library is organized into core domains, subject areas, and initiatory paths. These are the great disciplines and archetypal domains of the soul’s journey.
