隱修理念與科學(xué)概念恰好相反。隱修之道不可能用摧毀物質(zhì)的方式獲取操縱大自然的力量，它只渴望帶著覺(jué)知參與世界的建設(shè)，建立誠(chéng)摯的同盟關(guān)系。科學(xué)強(qiáng)迫大自然屈服人的意志；隱修傳統(tǒng)或神圣魔法哲學(xué)則渴望凈化、啟發(fā)、改變?nèi)说囊庵炯氨拘裕蛊渑c自然的創(chuàng)造力達(dá)成和諧一致，以獲得后者樂(lè)于施于的啟示。“偉大工作”如果是一種理想，主旨就應(yīng)該是與生命和平共處、結(jié)盟、相融、及合作，這便是生命之樹(shù)的果實(shí)。
The ideal of Hermeticism is contrary to that of science. Instead of aspiring to power over the forces of Nature by means of the destruction of matter, Hermeticism aspires to conscious participation with the constructive forces of the world on the basis of an alliance and a cordial communion with them. Science wants to compel Nature to obedience to the will of man such as it is; Hermeticism－or the philosophy of sacred magic－on the contrary wants to purify, illumine and change the will and nature of man in order to bring them into harmony with the creative principle of Nature(natura naturans) and to render them capable of receiving its willingly bestowed revelation. The “great work”, as an ideal, is therefore the state of the human being who is in peace, alliance, harmony and collaboration with life. This is the “fruit” of the Tree of Life.
