(1) I tried the science crap and it didn't work, and (2) it's way more interesting."

The term "rasa" has one of the most complex and nuanced semantic fields in the whole of Sanskrit literature. The meaning of rasa varies in the context of Vedic sacrifice, Indian alchemy. Āyurveda, aesthetic theory, religious devotionalism or Tantric ritual. In this paper I trace the evolution of the term, focusing on its etymology and on its different usages among different schools of thought. As David Gordon White observed "rasa was and remains the ‘fluid essence’ of Indian thought.”

"In the 16th century, Venice began to be seen as a magical city, capable of captivating intellectuals from all over Europe, just as Prague would later do. However, Venice was primarily the beating heart of the typographic arts and a place of surprising cultural tolerance. Books exploring hermetic doctrines, Kabbalah, and alchemical practices – often viewed with suspicion by ecclesiastical authorities – were published here."

"In his autobiography, Goethe half-apologetically admits the youthful enthusiasm he experienced for alchemical and mystical readings: Georg von Welling's obscure Opus Mago-Cabbalisticum et Theosophicum and the anonymously published Aurea Catena Homeri, as well as works by Paracelsus, Basilis Valentinus and van Helmont. Originally published in 1952, this study shows how the symbols and concepts of alchemy played a key role in the genesis of Goethe's later works, both scientific and literary."

"The patterns in suzani are not mere decoration. Red tulips, for example, symbolize protection against evil forces, while repetitive circles allude to ancient amulets against the evil eye. Thus, someone who knows the “grammar” of ornaments can “read” them. Uzbek motifs are often compared with medieval or Renaissance European symbols. For instance, the swastika, representing the cycle of life, was popular in both Central Asian and Celtic cultures. Harvard University researchers have even likened certain Uzbek designs to European alchemical symbols, showing humanity’s shared effort to express beliefs and hopes."

An assortment of sages sharpen Daniel's wide-eyed outlook until he has the concentration of a card shark Zeta master, via apprenticeships in meditation, safecracking, poker, and the art of walking through walls.
