It is the mission of this series to provide information from many sources, including personal experience with the traditions themselves from a lifetime of religious study. This series is outlined, compiled, designed, formatted, proofread, and glossarized by myself, a human being. Work is done to balance out any biases inherent in any specific AI tool, and the agenda of the series remains to inform the reader in the best ways possible about esoteric religious concepts across many traditions. The series is continually updated if any corrections are needed. Esoteric and mystical traditions have a history of blurring the lines between spirituality and fantasy, which this series upholds, but this series remains factual and non-fiction in the respect of ancient wisdom that belongs to our human species and its myriad cultures. The series strives to use the best modern technology as well as more traditional research to honor and faithfully represent our esoteric religious history. It takes a significantly long time to produce an episode of this series, and my livelihood depends on its sales as the production is a full-the job. There is fear that AI will destroy jobs, but in this case it has assisted me in finding one. It is an honor to work on this series, and I thank all of its readers dearly. Please leave honest comments so that the production of the series can continue to improve. The wisdom of our collective esoteric religious studies requires new methods and continual improvement to be preserved and indexed. Thank you for being a part of it. -Diohka Aesden This book is part of the Esoteric Religious Studies Series, an exploration of the wide world of esoterica.
