The metaphors of magic and language

#13514663 - 11/20/10 01:54 PM (15 years, 10 months ago)

When we get born as children we play games with the imagination. It is beyound space and time and is confined to absolutely no limit whatsoever. The child will become the dinosaur, the pig, the dwarf, the elven warrior, undead soldier, innocent princess, dancing darth vader creature....
AS we age, the imagination remains, but as a result of how our social systems interact, it creates a sort of framework which melts into the unconciousness and provides us with an illusory framework with how things are "supposed" to be in our world.

As we age we become more serious about imagination,
We've created mathematics which is a lovely domain of concepts and riddles, but this system is more or less confined to the limits of previous social imprints. It is far too primitive to represent the actual states and workings of the visible and invisible universe.
Sigma, Tau, Epsilon and Theta are all greek letters
they are symbols associated with sounds, which are the human sculptures of wavelength and frequency.
So as we age we seem to associate things of one value to things of another value and take it absolutely seriously as the "ONE DEFINITIVE ANSWER". What they dont seem to see is that that one answer is confined to the limits of the systeem itself which is confined to the limits of social and institutional imprintings.

ANYthing
CAN
BE
ASSOCIATED
WITH
ANYTHING

This is the basis of magick, an incantation or ritual is associated with an action feeling event or circumstance.

The possibilities really are endless,
mathematics can be rearranged with smiley faces and polo sticks
The i ching can be re-arranged with obese people, skinny people, and fat becoming skinny or vise versa.

If the interpretation for quatum physics of "The mind can change reality" were true, then all these systems would be breeding grounds for certain kinds of people to conform to.

The rationalists like math and physics because they get the correct answer to the nearest decimal points whilst excluding all other possible holistic factors. Business works in this manner as well.

The hippies, magi, and other non conformist societies abide by things that they create, some running on the basis of magic and other running on the basis of pure creativity and experimentalism.

Whatever reality you create is purely yours.
it is just as valid as the above mentioned systems
