A Guide To Two Dreams
The Purpose of Two Dreams
Two Dreams is about doing what's greater for you, and connecting with what's greater than you, to live a happy life.
How? Through what I call Language Magic, which we all practice to a certain extent. Language Magic is changing your experience through indirect, or sly and clever means, which (on this site) includes: Self-Help/Mental Magic, Practical Magic, Divination (Primarily through the I Ching), Spirituality/Philosophy (Stoicism and Buddhism) - all things that wouldn't exist without language.
I hope that you'll find insights, and systems, that give you the ability to live that happy life, in as practical way as possible.
