This brings back memories of reading various occult books back when I...well you know that stage of life. Anyway I came across this mental exercise of entertaining two opposing viewpoints on a subject at the same time, but not deciding which one was true. Just holding them in your mind felt nice. I think putting your mind in that state puts it in a magical state, a kind of no mans land. Yes, I'd forgotten about this. Its refreshing !
A good book on the occult is 'The Occult' by Colin Wilson. I used to have demonic grimoires too believe it or not. I was trying to commune with the dark side at one point because I wanted all the answers, like Faust.
