  Hermeticism and derivatives of Egyptian mystery schools make for some interesting reading, and can be approached through academic avenues of archaeological/anthropological studies rather than woo-woo books and blogs. I'm definitely not suggesting it as an alternative to using scientific methods.

    I find hermeticim fascinating, but I don't really see the connection. Where is hermeticism talking about genomes and neurons?

      If I direct you to particular texts or ideas, then not only would I be falling into the trap of saying 'you should check out this spiritual technology, dude,' you'd be missing out on the exploratory and imaginative process that necessarily precedes discovery and innovation. I'm saying that people should keep using the scientific method to formalize and test their hypotheses, but that esoteric traditions offer some interesting and under-explored paradigms within which to hypothesize. I'm being deliberately vague here because I don't want to bias you.

        I think you are being deliberately vague because you haven't anything except handwaving.
