Your experiences do not include the writings of Aleister Crowley, then. He describes the school of Yellow magick as "the consideration, with complete scientific and philosophical detachment, the fact of the Universe as a fact." Its students make no moral judgements at all, as do the Black and White schools (at least as Crowley described them). It is more contemplative and less volatile than the other schools. It is austere and intellectual as well as mystical. Crowley describes Pythagoras, Zeno, and Epicurus as philosophers of Yellow magick. He considers the Tao Te Ching to be its foremost mystical text, although he comments that Taoism as a religion has little to do with the Tao Te Ching or Yellow magick, except obliquely.
