Message I see very little in difference in cosmology between Taoist and old school western Alchemists Cosmology wich is a cosmology of the magician and of evan ancient theater, home building. I see allot traditions cut of from this past where they get there symbols and there practices. This is sort of a side thought thing. The whole unity thing in my opion is as simple as you say it is it just is.
***It is definitely possible to practice magic in the western tradition without being an alchemist, and indeed I believe, it is expected that one contact the unity in that manner first, before working alchemically with it.***
That is my understanding as well. So do you us a western alchemical cosmology like the Eygtian with images of gods or more like the greeks(very math flavored) with the principle of all things is the monad or unit; arising from this monad the undefined dyad or two serves as material substratum to the monad etc, or is it more like the Kabbalic there all very similar little different flavors. I mean your magic came out of these I am assuming. Did you make your own with some differences.
