He spent a great deal of time not only in his fictional work on the distinction and relationship between the two. The crudest summary i can give is technology is really magic and what we imagine as magic is really deep art. <br /><br />Magic or technology transforms the material realm and consciousness through manipulating the material realm in subtle or gross ways. Where as the deep arts transform the consciousness of the observer by becomeing more real then consensous reality and thus by that feet become a new consensous realty and change the material through consciousness. Finally is the idea that those who know not the craft and its ways percieve it as magical because we do not understand the art behind it.<br /><br />Really interesting stuff and thanks as always Mr. Kephas for keeping us thinking.The Grey Pilgrimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20312680.post-74674055220226895332011-12-19T08:44:41.809-08:002011-12-19T08:44:41.809-08:00These two posts have profoundly changed my paradig...These two posts have profoundly changed my paradigm regarding current events, their significance, and my own thoughts, actions, and further words on the subjects in question.
