The Relative Laws of Matter

You are reading this, you are assimilating information. You need information to tell you, how to interact with the world. What is the world? The world is your world, the world is the world you live in, the world is the world you are aware of, the world is what you are aware of. 

If you were only aware of you, if everything was you, then there would be no other object or subject and thus no interaction would be possible, and without interaction no information would be needed to tell you how to interact with the perceived object or subject. 

The perceived or observed apparently requires interaction and as soon as you interact, you wonder how, and how is a question and a question needs an answer. The answer comes to you in the form of information, and information is in-form-ation, is a form, the form of words, of letters, of symbols. 

Looking at a piece of art, without any words in it, also means assimilation of information, of meaning, means learning, means helping you to answer your questions, questions you have, because you have to interact with the observed.

Isn't it interesting: Art means symbolic transmission of information, creation of meaning through transmission of information. So you perceive symbols, symbols in the form of words or objects or music in order to enrich yourself, to give you the power you need in order to successfully interact with this world. For example you want to interact with a beautiful woman speaking french and therefore you learn french. This gives you the power, the capability of successful interaction with that being. Successful meaning being capable of realizing your will, whatever your will may be.

What is interesting is this: Whatever you perceive, an object or a human being, you want to interact with it, because it appears meaningful to you, the picture you perceive is meaningful, and a meaningful picture is called a symbol. What is a symbol for you may not be a symbol for another human being. Symbols are highly individual. 

Learning also means interacting, interaction with letters or pictures or sounds, and you interact with them, because they appear meaningful to you. Therefore, here also we have interaction with symbols. Symbols are meaningful forms or pictures or sounds or shapes.

We learn in order to better interact with symbols, and learning itself means interacting with symbols also. Therefore interacting with anything in so called real life means learning. And on the other hand, the process of learning means interaction with symbols and thus can be called real life.

This is interesting: You interact with symbols in order to better interact with symbols. In what way exactly does your perception of a particular symbol change as a result of a process of learning? You don't know how to interact with a symbol, therefore you ask questions hoping the received answers will help you handling that symbol better, more efficiently, according to your will and wishes. You ask questions about that symbol, you receive answers and then you go back to that symbol and have a fresh start so to say. Now you will be more proficient in handling the symbol in question. 

How exactly will you perceive that symbol now? How has its perception changed as a result of this acquisition of information, as a result of this process of learning? You will feel a certain sense of security, the perceived symbol seems to be less dominant, it somehow seems to be weaker, it seems to belong to you more, it seems to be rather a part of your own beingness, you seem to identify with it more. 

Now why not just do it the other way round? Instead of learning in order to identify more with the perceived, why not identify directly more with it, without learning? Now your little mind bound to the laws of matter, bound to your cultural indoctrination wonders how this should be possible: Knowledge without learning. That's exactly what magick is all about.

The man of matter can never grasp his, it is beyond his understanding. The man of spirit however, knowing hat his soul is all-knowing, knowing that it is illusion preventing him from knowing everything, simply learns by giving up the illusion that his knowledge is less than infinite. He gives up the illusion that he is anything less than omniscient.

You are everything and thus you know everything, and therefore the assumption that you have to learn anything is simply false. This assumption is the result of the faith that you are less than everything. Therefore you have to reacquire what you believe not to have. Instead of a sequential assimilation of information trough the interaction with symbols, you simply give up that foolish belief, that illusionary notion, that you are less than omniscient.

Of course, if you were just a human being, giving up the faith of ignorance would not give you wisdom, giving up the belief of being poor would not make you rich. But the point is this: You are not a human being. This assumption is a belief also, and of course in that illusion of being human is contained the notion that your knowledge is not infinite, because a human being is not infinite.

What is a human being? At first there is being, and then the being, being supreme superimposes onto itself the assumption of being human, and of course this assumption also implies an ontological reduction of that supreme beings potential. A human being simply is not omniscient and thus this faith of being less is exactly what it means to succumb to the illusion of being human. And thus the illusion is made perfect. The supreme being is perfect and thus it's illusions are perfect too. Perfect in the sense of a perfect illusion of being anything less than perfect. Isn't it obvious?

You just give to yourself the permission to be more than human, and that's that. The illusion however is deeply ingrained in your body-mind-structure and thus this is easier said than done. And never believe it's difficult, for this belief actually makes it so.

god bless
