On Western Esoteric stuff

[keitaro_keiichi]

I admit. I am a curious individual. I like to read about all sorts of things and ideas. One topic that has always struck me as interesting is the existance (or non-existance) of magic in any sense. You can find any number of books on any number of topics closely related. Yet, no one seems capable of writing any real explanations. Sure, they all

that's what magic is-- in a lot of cases, it's a kind of mind-control. sooo... the verbal diarrhea is necessary to get you into a more perceptive state of mind. it makes you more susceptible to whatever trash the "magician" wants you to believe... kind of a mental sleight of hand, if you will.

tarot is accurate because you WANT it to be accurate. magic is real because you want it to be real... you allow yourself to be pulled into a world that's outside what you're used to because you want to be. or, conversely, it's NOT real because you don't want it to be-- so you notice small, obscure things like the mirrors behind the curtain, etc. you close yourself off to the possibility of there being real magic in the world because you're always looking for the catch.

it's entertaining... but... i guess, in the end, you see what you want to see. maybe there is some kind of real magic... but it's hard to make out what's real and what's not because of your own preconceived notions-- whether you want it to be real or not... you know? people see what they want to see. that's all.

man... now i want a sammich! thinking makes me hooooongry.

Why don't you just "magically" conjure one up? I'd suggest soup instead, but we all know that there is no spoon, so whats the use!
