There are three major forces that the human person is subject to. Physical nature, society and what can be best summarized as our own psyche. To varying degrees, all these forces effect each other. Some aspects of each of these forces are apparent, while other aspects of each are obscure and possibly mystical (Greek: "to conceal").

Despite the claims of occultists, astrologists and tarot readers, there is no evidence that we can tap into the mysteries of nature or the psyche and alter the forces of causation which determine our lives. That does not mean, nothing is mysterious. On the contrary, we are living in mystery. What needs to be understood is that, we have not conquered the forces that we are subject to; Nor can we conquer them. All we can do is to embrace the mystery - or not.

"For things to reveal themselves to us, we need to be ready to abandon our views about them".
