The origins of science are shared with (natural) magick ..... and I feel
that the very best scientists (Newton, Descartes &c) are those who manage to
combine all aspects of their personality, even using alchemical techniques
and magickal disciplines, rather than just conventionalist automatons.
> A transhuman is not supernatural.
No, but Gematria, Cryptology & alchemy are not necessarily "supernaturalist"
either. Druidic and shamanic systems are nature-based, not supernatural.
Drug experience and hypnotic/trance experience is "scientifically"
verifiable .... mystical but not supernatural.
As a POSTHUMAN I follow theGolden Dawn maxim to be "more than human" ...
which formula also seems to embrace the transhuman/extropian stance?
I quite happily combine my Bodhisattva vows, posthuman (MVT) philosophy with
my work as an (Enochian) Magus ..... but don't have recourse to any
supernaturalist beliefs.
