Are We walking on A Broken Glass?

Is the path we are walking on is as stable as it seems!


Curiosity and skepticism are two vital characteristics of a human being, which has grown roots of pure belief  deep-down into the fertile human skins. It is very hard to even comprehend the nature of a higher force governing what should be seem real or fake. Without the influence of a governing force such as God, the world might seem as random at the same time, as predictable. That's contradictory, right! But, seems true. 

Having fear of a power higher above, confine one off doing whatever they desire of doing that is against the laws of nature. But, have you ever thought of doing something exactly out of comic books, just like Dr. Strange. Well! I am not going to discuss about whole comic book heroes/villains in here, but if anyone of you have ever read comic book story of Dr. Strange that he is able to detach himself from the universe itself such that he feels like he is the universe.


Moreover, this is not just the case of a comic-book story. This is possible in the "real" world. Aleister Crowley was man known as founder of a religion named Thelema as well as for his interests in ceremonial magic. Though, people called him an occultist due to his thoughts for Paganism. He was influenced by variety of religious as well as scientific ideas of Hindu Yoga, Buddhism, Ontological Naturalism, Western Esotericism and of-course ceremonial magic.    



Crowley believed in the objective existence of the "magick". He provide various different definitions for the word. In one of his many books with the Title "Magick in Theory", he defined magick as 
  "The science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with Will".
 He also told his disciple that 
"Magick is getting into communication with individuals who exist at plane higher than ours. Mysticism is the raising of oneself to their level."
According to Crowley, there are several ways to view what Magick is, at its most broad it can be viewed as any willed action leading to intended change. At the practical level, magick most often takes several practices such as banishing, purification, consecration, Invocation, Evocation, and Eucharist. In Crowley's context these practices have different meanings.

Getting an enlightenment that you can change the nature itself according to you will, really gives hope that there is yet more to know and comprehend to, including the notion of God. And you should not rule out the possibility that if God has made us in his own image, then we can do what he can do and comprehend what he can.

















Notion of God



Hey, ya seekers of 'magics and logics'..you all might be wondering your place in this grand design of the creator of all that is! The Mighty Father - "Figure" or Physicist's Alleged B.B.T., whatever that gave birth to this world of yours.


In here, I do not intend to talk about platitudinous people, who call themselves atheist and some say theist, but aspire ya all to contemplate the notion of God in a more subtle sense. Let's consider the word God, taken as a compilation of either of two different sense of contemplation : Pragmatic or Idealistic. Though, being pragmatic does not indicate atheistic behavior neither being Idealistic indicates theistic behavior. But, being cynical with a sense of pure skepticism leads to the way through the dark forest of ignorance to the place where conscience has always conquered false beliefs and rudimentary skepticism.



Let's take an account from the story of The Binding of Isaac from The Hebrew Bible, where god asks Abraham to sacrifice his only son Isaac to prove his faith in God, himself. In turn, when Abraham was going to slain his only beloved son, an angel called out from heaven to withhold Abraham from sacrificing his son to God. Moral of the story: "God abhor child sacrifice and wants his children to prove their faith in him".    

So, was it Abraham who feared God so much that he was tempted to kill his only son bestowed by his own God or was it God, himself who feared of losing faith of his children! This concerns the perception of the reader. Likely, If one consider that Abraham feared God, he might be Idealistic, or if one considered God who worried for fidelity from his children, he might be pragmatic in his own views. Although, having a view that this story is absurd in its contextual form does imply that there is more to be scrutinized.
