So you are the kind of person that believes in all these illuminati and other 'Da Vinci Code' stuff... You believe there is still some kind of secret society that still does alchemy... Anyway it shouldn't be ressurected because (as I state in the post you quote, which I would be pleased if you read a post of mine for once) each of the four is going their own way, further and further away from the others. This is not theory, you just have to look at the present day science and art: the science of today has no place for theorizing, all the theories are mathematical, so it's all blocked, and in present art there is no palce to try to be tecnical or to read a message, you have to look and either love it or hate it. Present day philosophy is very background, there is no space for them to discuss concepts, too much has been done, so they are actually theoretic sociologers and naturers, whiles theism of any kind is no opened to all possible conceptualization, a good example is how you defend the idea of spirituality over religion, that is all conceptual differentiation. It's good to look at things wholistically, but not reductionist, don't confuse the terms. Wholistic thought is, for example, the idea I gave that art, science, philosophy and theism are like a coordinate system, it is looking at relationships and connectiosn, differences and descriptions...etz. But reductionist, is saying they all work the same, and are the same, and making them =. For painters, there are 7 basic colours, for physicists there are 3, for musicians there are 2 notes can make up 3, but for mathematicians 2 can never equal 3.... And there are many other examples. I am interested in wholistic thinking, but not in reductionist thinking.
