Gr8 pictures bro. But I think 'modern-day mystic' is a contradiction in terms. Becoz being a mystic wud (I think) mean transcending time, piercing through the fake and the ordinary and finding a place inside the core of all existence. Mystics in the old world have known to be remarkably 'modern'. What do you think? BTW kabbalah also fascinates me.
Good point. I once joked to someone about having 'transcended time' in one of my ego-phases, and they simply smiled at me. A few weeks later, they said to me, in passing, "Oh, I think Eliphas Levi was the re-incarnation of Aleister Crowley." I immediately replied, "Don't you mean the other way round? Crowley was born after Levi!" To which he smiled, and said, "So, you still believe in time, then." I guess some of the time I live in time ...
