Uh, are you sure you've thought that through? There's a big difference
between `designed' contradictions like the Hermetic/Shamanic split,
and accidental contradictions like: seeing by light on the astral plane,
having the astral plane undetected by any instrument of physics,
and yet saying that the astral plane is lit by the emanations of
living beings?
Maybe it was just our group, but the inconsistencies never added an
enigmatic atmosphere, they created an atmosphere of frustration.
But enough said, I'd guess, on this often-discussed topic. :-)
