Book of Changes
The organizational
field of any thing, event,
or event surrounding
a thing radiates outward,
becoming increasingly
more subtle the farther
one is from said event.
We possess a geometry
specific to ourselves
and therefore radiate
an organized field of
energy.
When the subtle layers
of our field commingle
with the subtle layers
of an impending event,
we often register
the existence of said event
or thing long before
it enters our range of
primary perception.
This causes subtle
changes to occur within
or direction, speed
and activity which over
the course of time
or space, resemble docking
procedures more than
anything else. Changes
in our alignment in
order to receive and be
received by said event
or thing, begin to occur
before we are consciously
aware of what is
coming.
Bits and pieces of
the coming arrangement can
be seen in the form
of Omens, subtle hints in the
world around us.
When approaching the
face of a "wave" we
experience a period
of evacuation suddenly
turning into a flood
of activity.
Low Magic consist of
creating charms and
spells to attract
certain kinds of changes.
Specific things or
events or events surrounding
things. The idea that
something is needed,
wanted, or missing,
radiates from the very thing
itself, already in
existence, both in time and space,
even though it may
not as yet be perceivable
by the primary senses.
Thus the alleged magical
act is a pantomime
played by the conjurer to
attract an object
already well on its way.
Problems arise as the
subtle field of something
that has already passed,
registers as well on the
psychic senses, in
the same manner, usually with
greater intensity.
This sets up a condition
of longing and desire
for that which cannot
be received by any means.
Over time a system
of rationales has grown up
around why this spell
works and this spell does
not.
We are attracted to
magic because we want to
create. Creation occurs
in the here and now.
That which is at a
distance is already created and
may be perceived but
not altered.
In order to create,
we must be well versed in all
aspects of creation,
what things are, how they
come into being. This
is not a thing just anybody
can accomplish. Most
who try will remain puppets
of forces set into
play long before the birth
of mankind. It is
the difference between playing
in the surf of time
and space, amazed at what floats
by, and being the
direct cause of the wave.
There is a place in
space where past present and
future come together.
This means anything that was,
is or will ever be
already exists and we are the points
of focus, through
which these arrangements manifest
themselves. But they
are only arrangements.
They are prepared
experienced and discarded.
Some in a day, some
over the course of eternity.
The echoes in the universe
confuse the unenlightened
and that which appears
to have been recovered was
merely coming around
again.
Book of the Dead
The act which directs
and controls the change
does not exist in
the same space as the change,
or in the same time
as the change or in the same
direction as the change.
That which occurs in
the same time will not be in the
same place as that
which occurs in the same place
will not be in the
same time as that which is thrown
one direction will
be received coming from another.
That which is left
in one place can be drawn from
another, as well the
flame believed extinguished lay
smoldering beneath
the surface and the soft touch
may deliver a crushing
blow.
The road that begins
in light ends in darkness and
those unaccustomed
to darkness exit backwards
and the last thing
seen is the first thing retrieved.
The road that begins
in darkness ends in light, which
must be extinguished
before a new road can be traveled.
Balance is the enemy
of fear and those who control
and maintain balance
fear not. That which was laid in
the ground must be
found in the sky before the earth
will give up what
it has claimed.
Those who have fallen
on the road remain on the road
endlessly repeating
familiar steps till the fullness of
time. The larger the
passing vessel, the greater it's wake
and all force is nullified
by right angles. Therefore the
blow of victory is
delivered to the side and received by
the side and that
which is seen to be coming is of no real
threat, lest it cause
one to turn.
The longer a thing
requires to manifest the less it will be
noticed. Thus the
more suddenly a thing appears, the
more attention it
commands. That which appears as a
thing in one place,
exist as emptiness in another, thus
all things are visible
to those who know what to look for.
That which continues
does so through repetition.
Those things which
lay along the road will be swallowed
by the road and in
repose, dream only of the road and the
road is sustained.
