p. 109: "...'universal agent' connecting soul with soul. // Astral World // ether
We all grope at expressing the sense of God's presence; we all fall short. The distinction between magic and mysticism made in this chapter seems to me to be more the distinction between magic and God acceptance. That is, magic is the will of the human over the spiritual essence, effecting change in the lived world. God acceptance effects the fullness of human being brought forth by the will of God and, in Christianity, exampled in Christ, thus Paul Tillich's "ground of being."
Acts 17:28: For “In him we live and move and have our being”; as even some of your own poets have said, “For we too are his offspring.”
