The Truth Beyond Magic (III)

Achieve an expansion of the meaning of reality to something broader, by braiding information that you can only be aware of by reconciling the contradictions of your own thinking and identity.

I had no plan in my mind, no idea what I was going to do in this moving square, in whose center, dark as the tomb, and disturbing as the sleep you awaken with difficulty, all the streams of representations of the unreal were intertwined. Absorbed by thoughts known by no one, amplified under the fragments of the voices of the unseen, in disorder of the damage suffered by consciousness, I did not realize that, involuntarily, I had forgotten myself.

My eyes no longer had the power to open up. I felt alienated from my own nature, as if I had been caught in a spell that no one in the world could untie. Strangely, we remained indifferent to everything that was happening around me, being destabilized by a kind of authority with complicated, enigmatic and comprehensive meanings.

Some metaphysicians call this phenomenon "the wandering of truth fragments in the mist of false assumptions," a sporadic dose of acceptance of what makes you remain unintentional and inauthentic. A character from Frank Herbert tried to find the explanation for the reality and the present beyond the threshold where thoughts are turned into dreams. In my case, he should first have eliminated the confusion surrounding the experiences that crossed the axis of the real world in a context in which alterity prevails.

Can the illusion of the horizon that attracts you be seen as an artistic expression of the desire to touch the divine, even if the reality seems to be just a game of magic?

While the prince was looking for a boat on the shore, a man dressed in evening clothes with his sleeves rolled up approached him. The prince, amazed at the new reality that had been revealed to him, asked him:

- Are the islands there real? And those strange and disturbing creatures? If so, then there must be a God.

- I am God, said the man in evening clothes, leaning slightly.

- That is not true. Last time you tricked me, but it will not happen again. Now I know that nothing in this kingdom is real. And you’re just a magician.

- I am not the one fooling you. There exist in your father’s kingdom many islands and many beautiful princesses, but your father keeps you under his spell and you cannot see them.

Is the value of your superiority due to an experience that can only be achieved and appreciated by temporary isolation in a relative world?

The way you think of what you are not, in the form of an experiment of rendering a different structure of thought underlying your transformation, can become a guide to the rise to new forms of power. But this ascent, which has its debut in accepting another mental and emotional attitude, limits the inner experience by the density of questions and answers that fail to clarify the level of lucidity you are inclined towards.

Someone wrote on a website: "Our psychological conscious life is, to a great extent, an illusion, a blending of information that we are not aware we’ve registered."

Can you create a bridge between the visible and the invisible, suggesting the possibility of transcendence through art?

An expansion of the meaning of reality to something more extensive by braiding information that you can only be aware of by reconciling the contradictions of your own thinking and identity with the risk of falling into long reverberation is an innovative approach to self-knowledge – through initiation to a higher degree of autonomy.

In this case, transcendence through art refers to the ability to transcend the limits of conventional perception, weaving inner contradictions into a creative form that reveals a new understanding of self and reality.

Does the autonomy given to you by the act of being different in a context of the type "augmented reality", which corresponds to the combinations of representations of the world outside the Ego, have the obligation of subordinating yourself to laws superior to you? Do these laws come from the introspection of the needs of others, or from accidental discoveries that make you change your vision of what is possible to be accomplished?

Do you need to assume some independence with respect to an external authority, even if that involves a sporadic dose of acceptance of what makes you dishonest and false?

In order to set a new course of leadership to help you master new forms of becoming, you need to assume some independence with respect to an external authority, even if that involves a sporadic dose of acceptance of what makes you dishonest and false. This falsehood is a pretentious way to check yourself in another form, to manage your identity under a new light.

In other words, it is a kind of experience that can be realized and appreciated only by temporary isolation in a magical world, relative – a world dissolved into a new world, which has not yet taken shape. A madness that hides great wisdom, horizons, becoming the source of a philosophy that assumes relativity, which refuses to get stuck into some appreciation of the phenomena and processes studied.

The most authentic leadership can be found in the art of falling and redefining yourself under the power of a spell, taking as a guiding thread the idea of causing wonders, thus, your imbuing with powerful features of otherness, a positive experience to identify options for personal transformation. And to wake up to the true reality changed into a completely different person, a source of teachings, wisdom and deep truths – from which others take inspiration from.

The spell you have to perform to inspire the people around you is to try to find the explanation for the reality and the present beyond the threshold where their thoughts are turned into dreams.

The Truth Beyond Magic is rather tied to phenomenological understanding – it indicates the leap you make in a world of relative certainty that you can give a new understanding of itself.

The power of a changeover, that preexists your own manifestations, and one that no one can give to you, is a great temptation if you aspire to achieve superiority. It weighs everything from multiple viewpoints. It is an adaptation to a new context of self-realization, a form of reference to some factors that are considered variable, whose value changes substantially through an introspective process during the transition from one type of thinking to another.
