The second part, Noesis, ventures into the philosophical landscapes of Spinoza's rationalism, Kant's transcendental idealism, and Husserl's phenomenology. It traces how the eternal quest in study of lived experience by Western philosophers made complete by the intuitive insights of Islamic metaphysics, offering a profound vision of the intuition of Being.

The third part, Mythos, calls for a return to humanity's mythopoetic Imagination - the deep symbolic understanding of life that flourished before the Enlightenment's age of reason. It reminds us of a time when destiny, belonging, and Reality itself were intimately woven into everyday existence.
