隐修理念与科学概念恰好相反。隐修之道不可能用摧毁物质的方式获取操纵大自然的力量，它只渴望带着觉知参与世界的建设，建立诚挚的同盟关系。科学强迫大自然屈服人的意志；隐修传统或神圣魔法哲学则渴望净化、启发、改变人的意志及本性，使其与自然的创造力达成和谐一致，以获得后者乐于施于的启示。“伟大工作”如果是一种理想，主旨就应该是与生命和平共处、结盟、相融、及合作，这便是生命之树的果实。
The ideal of Hermeticism is contrary to that of science. Instead of aspiring to power over the forces of Nature by means of the destruction of matter, Hermeticism aspires to conscious participation with the constructive forces of the world on the basis of an alliance and a cordial communion with them. Science wants to compel Nature to obedience to the will of man such as it is; Hermeticism－or the philosophy of sacred magic－on the contrary wants to purify, illumine and change the will and nature of man in order to bring them into harmony with the creative principle of Nature(natura naturans) and to render them capable of receiving its willingly bestowed revelation. The “great work”, as an ideal, is therefore the state of the human being who is in peace, alliance, harmony and collaboration with life. This is the “fruit” of the Tree of Life.
