4.1 Analytical Thinking and General Knowledge

      My formal education and training in physics and mathematics, and my research endeavors in the aerospace field have honed my analytical thinking skills to a fine degree.

      My intense curiosity about the universe led me to become knowledgeable to one degree or another in a wide field of subjects ranging from the physical and biological sciences to religion and mythology.

      The authors whose works I have primarily relied upon for my knowledge of psychology, history, religion, and mythology are:

1. Will and Ariel Durant
2. E. A. Wallis Budge
3. Carl Jung
4. James G. Frazer
5. Joseph Campbell
6. Robert Graves
7. Alan Watts

      With respect to matters specifically germane to the issue of the Occult Sciences, I am very knowledgeable. My Occult knowledge has been primarily obtained from the works of Aleister Crowley. Carl Jung and Israel Regardie have also provided me with much valuable Occult information.
