Relationship Of Psionic And Arcane Energies
What about the overlap between psionic energies and arcane energies. Can each manipulate the other? The laws of metaphysics are like the laws of physics, and all things that take any sort of form have their root in the same principles. Like diet and complex factors affecting genetic heredity. So a parallel is how magnetic…

Energy Charge
There are three states of an atom and molecules. When the electrons in the particle are balanced with the protons, you have a neutral charge, but when you have either a positive charge or a negative charge, that is an ion. So it’s sort of like the hermetic triangle. Everything in our world is either…

Strange Attractors
We need positively charged ions. It’s how matter is formed, but our actual energy of consciousness is negatively charged, or rather the energy carrier wave that is traceable in the human neural net. Lightening in the brain? Indeed. Our brains are full of lighting which affects the energy balance around us. Magnetically negative? Yes. That…

Electrical Change With State Of Mind
I see those ion bracelets being sold. Do they have an effect on ions or is it just a novelty? They do have an effect on ions, though there is controversy as to the degree or possible health benefit. They are supposed to restore well being. I will say from experience the effect is positive…

It’s About Resonance
Computers and technology somehow make us more positively charged? They do yes, and this is why people like me have such an affinity for electronics and electronic voice phenomenon. This is also why a Faraday cage can cause panic in neurotypical people. Do you have a pet electric eel? No, but I used to frustrate…

Activation of Dormant Genes
Today, we are talking about atavism. Magickal and spiritual practice often seeks to cultivate altered states of awareness. Some are considered more acceptable than others. In the case of some of the more backwoods practices, one narrow set in particular, we have methods and rituals designed not to supposedly advance the human consciousness, but to…

Atavistic Ritual
Atavistic ritual all relies on triggering the mirroring nervous system in one way or another, through ceremonial dance, meditation, even costume. The purpose being to create a link with and even a sort of identification with another species. This is the oldest form of ritual on the entire planet. Is the virtual world of Second…

Repurposing Adaptations
Anthropomorphising animals is so natural as to be instinctive, but rather than dismiss it as irrationality, as hard nose materialists do, the reason is that our mirroring nervous system can imitate and recognize the states of living things that are even remotely like ourselves. I myself don’t think this is accidental as so many people…

One Living World
Atavism is something to consider in your daily activity. The gifts of nature are still available to us, and we can use our awareness to join our brothers and sisters in this one living world. People assume that any student of the shadows is interested in or invested in evil. I have no interest in…

Act As Though
Have you ever heard the phrase, act as though it is and it will be? Yes. Fake it until you make it. All that you can conceive of is encoded into your nature as an extension of the nature of reality itself. Just as nature abhors a void, it left no voids in your mind…

All Daemons
I will offer an insight. The difference between white and black magick. White magick seeks to call the Gods to our level. Black magick seeks to put man on the level of the Gods. Neither seeks evil, and just as there is foolishness on the path of light, there are fools on the left hand…

Stories of Fantasy
We are talking about science fiction. In my personal view, any form of human experience has some degree of a fictional quality to it. We wake in the morning and tell ourselves stories about how the day is going to go, and tell ourselves stories that aim to reflect events as they occurred yesterday. We…

Reality Straight Jacket
I am a big fan of science fiction stories, and I deliberately apply science fiction to my life. I will ask you friends, is that insane? I find the limits of scientific thinking, well… They don’t sit well with my instincts and my personal experience, and science as it stands shows heavy influence by societal…

Rabbit Hole of Reason
The interesting thing about science fiction, for people who make it their calling, is that it’s hard if not impossible to strictly define science fiction. The farther you go down the rabbit hole of reason, the fuzzier the science part gets. There is a reason science fiction gets fuzzy. We create a fictional universe, and…
-
Machine in the Ghost
My thought is that any science fiction taken far enough becomes fantasy, because the reality of the human psyche is inescapable. If there is no god, we will make one. If there is no magick, we will create it, because it’s a reflection of who we are at our core. What of non-deists in that…

Reverse Manifestation
To start with, is anyone already familiar with alchemy? What metaphysics is to physics, alchemy is to chemistry, and as much as they might deny it, there are metaphysical assumptions running just as rampant now as there always have been. They just have a different flavour now. They call it “empirical.” An example of such…

First Matter
There is a lot of religious symbolism that came to be admixed with alchemical lore as was perhaps inevitable. Much of Christian Gnosticism is heavy with alchemical symbolism, and with that connection, we move on to the philosopher’s stone itself. It could be created in two forms, a white stone and a red. The white…

All is One
Alchemy was dual sided. On the flip side of alchemy with all its concern over material structure and physical evolution and behaviour, you have the concern for a mystery element, one that actually came to the fore more in eastern alchemy than western. Manu. Mind. Prakriti. There are many complex references to the physical behaviour…
Category: Metaphysics of Science
Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that focuses specifically on the concepts we use to understand reality itself, rather than what might be the best way to do something. Science was originally classified as a philosophy, in my opinion it still is, but many object to the notion that science is still a philosophy. They point at what they feel is proof that science possesses substance that philosophy doesn’t.
There is a schism between science and metaphysics that I believe would be well served by being bridged rather than having the bridge burned. Would you say that working toward a better and clearer metaphysics is without merit in today’s world?
