Here is a set of notes I made in preparation for my collection, Exit From The Matrix:

“This Earth civilization is dedicated to the organization and re-organization of systems and people. The people operate inside the organizations. Thus, free-flowing, expanding energies are narrowed and bottled up. The individual finds himself in a labyrinth, which he tries to navigate. As he keeps trying to solve the puzzle, his energies lose their life-force.”

“A set pattern is like a broadcasting station. It sends out messages about how things and ideas should be built and connected. It’s a map that ultimately takes you back to the beginning of the journey. The ship goes out, and it comes back. What happened? The depletion of energy. That’s what happened.”

“Somewhere buried in consciousness is the individual’s sense of his own energy, what it feels like, what it can do, how far it can go. This is live energy. It is electric and it is waiting to be expressed. The world is here so this energy can be expressed.”

“The world doesn’t encircle the individual. The individual encircles the world. There are people who take great pride in denying this fact. Their denial of Self is their ‘religion.’ They want to vanish entirely. If they could somehow pull this off, they would suddenly emerge on the other side—as individuals again. And they would realize they had taken a grand illusion to its conclusion.”

“The vast array of toxic medical drugs imposes many negative effects. Energy is chopped up, depleted, disconnected, made into out-of-control storms, put to sleep.”

“At the core of individual energy is individual imagination. Imagination is high on the mountain, where the rivers start. It ignites the flow. It births something out of nothing.”

“Religions and spiritual systems are frozen poems. The poet wrote a 5000-page poem. The priest class picked up on a section of it, froze it, removed it, and made it into a cosmology and a doctrine. Meanwhile, the poet was three poems and 20,000 pages ahead of that.”

“The question of how far the individual is willing to reach to gain knowledge—that question is very much like: how willing is the individual to imagine and invent reality. In fact, they are the same question, in the long run.”

“Anything that is actual magic—is based in imagination. That is what magic is. When a person wakes up to magic, he is waking up to his own invention of reality.”

I used to think it was as simple as this... I still do in fact.
Magic seems to be a fleeting almost invisible power to grasp though.
As I said I'm re-reading Castaneda. And I'm thinking that this magic stuff is taking a bit more oomph than just imagination.

I realize imagination is a huge part of it. But looking at the world right now..
It seems to me there's more to it than that because else the imagination of the manny would have overcome these horrible states of being allready.
Seeing that the 1% somehow mustered the power To steal our dreams and replace them with theirs..

So apart from imagination. I see commitment being a part of it, but in a very loose sense.
Also sacrifice comes to mind. And even though i can go without many if not all the "stuff" our society seems to push upon us. There's a few things in life that I am willing to spend most of my time and energy on. Which makes it hard to juggle the dreams. Or rather harmonize them in such a way they may come to fruition. So I dig in. keep silent and wait, imagine and steer until such a time that harmonization has happened..

Good things come to those who wait, but the trick might be defining good.

The trouble with the patient approach, without some activity (like your gardening etc) to fill the void, we are giving more ground each cycle for the "haves" to more firmly establishe themselves.

This is dynamic unfortunately because the "haves" tend to hijack and abuse the law. They will literally put you in the street then make it illegal to live there.

Something has to give. This may be a point where the magician makes a choice whether or not to draw on the energy of the collective. The collective provides the power in many cases imo and the magician catalyzes it.

Making the sorcerer the enemy of those who would oppress the collective.

This is all re: post #2 Lol

But then we have the bible and frank herbert insisting that the meek will inherit ... Double Lol
