I agree with you. But I also think that pretty much anything can be seen as "mystical jargon" and treated like such. And sometimes when this is accomplished it acts as a diluting measure.
Completey agree - dilution to homeopathic levels even.
Above all remember this: that magic belongs as much to the heart as to the head and everything which is done, should be done from love or joy or righteous anger.

Just wanted to say I'm reading "Coruscatio" right now, and really enjoying it.

If it's off topic then please delete this post, but I have a couple of links that might be helpful for anyone wanting more information on Libation.

The book about Leo Zeff and his techniques, by Myron Stolaroff, "The Secret Chief Revealed", can be found here, as an online version or a downloadable .pdf file:

http://www.maps.org/secretchief/index.html

James Fadiman's recent book, "The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide", is another valuable resource, and the most relevant parts are free to read here:

Going to have to order Shiva's other book soon!

really man, if you're a fool like me these substances can have a counterintuitive effect.

But, if you have a half a brain at all...

Another interesting article on the topic. This time about researcher James Fadiman and his recent experiments in microdosing

Thanks for the link. The "micro-dosing" chapters of his book are amongst the most interesting, as this seems to be a fairly new and unresearched field.
