Concepts of the Magickal Worldview

LAW OF WORLVIEW
The world as we percieve it, is actually the interface between the objective reality and the subjective reality. Changing your world view may not change the eternal, real world, but does changed the percieved world. You can become one with the universe, but you cannot then step back and alter it by your perception. There can never be an independent observer, you are connected to what you percieve.

LAW OF ATTENTION
The more evidence you seek to support a given world view, the more you will find. Worldviews have inertia. We create our worldview continously, maintaining it by an internal recursive dialogue constantly editing our perceptions. By rearranging our attention we rearrange our worldview.

LAW OF SYNCHRONICITY
Meaningful coincidences that cannot be described by law and effects.
Events connected by patterns not time.

LAW OF RELATIVE TRUTH
Every statement is true in one sense, false in one sense, and meaningless in another.

LAW OF PRAGMATISM
(Simplest magickal law) If it works , it is true.

LAW OF PARADOX
No worldview can encompass the whole world. Rationality is limited intellect, the world is not limited.

LAW OF UNITY
All things are connected either directly or indirectly.

LAW OF REFLECTION
The microcosm is the macrocosm. The part contains the whole. AS ABOVE SO BELOW
(this is the basis of divination systems)

LAW OF ASSOCIATION
If two things have something in common they can be used to influence each other.
Law of Similarity: Cause and effect resemble each other
Law of Contagion: Things continue to interact after they are separated. Power is contagious. ie nail and hair clippings

LAW OF CONNECTION
Every action is an energy exchange. To have power over something is for it to have power over you.

LAW OF SYNTHESIS
Any two opposing forces and/or concepts may be unified in a construct, which will contain both original opposites.

LAW OF DUALITY
All constructs, or forces, may be divided into two totally opposite concepts, or forces, each which contains the essence of each other.

LAW OF PERSONIFICATION
Any force, concept, object, or phenomena may be considered to be alive, to have a personality, and to be an entity.

LAW OF INVOCATION AND EVOCATION
Any concepts, forces or objects that manifest as entities should be treated as real beings.
(Note that these beings can be viewed just as objectified aspects of ourselves, it is useless to take this attitude while actually dealing with them. DO NOT BE FOOLED because something is the personification of a pattern of energies, because you can be described in this way too.)

LAW OF INTERFACES
Power exists in the interfaces of things.

LAWS OF WORDS AND SYMBOLS OF POWER
There are symbols that are able to change the inner and outer realities of those using and percieving them.
The symbols do not have to be consciously understood to have an effect

LAW OF MAGICKAL NAMES
A name of a thing IS the thing named. To know the true name of something is to have power over it.
You could never, however, command something, which is not in the nature of that thing to do.
(what most people consider a name is just a label)

LAW OF LABELING
When you label something you exclude information about it. Other information is stored under the label of that thing.

LAW OF INFORMATION PACKING
The information is the power contained in a symbol, the more information and power the more vague it becomes.
The more specific a symbol system, the more information it excludes.

LAW OF PATTERN
INformation may be viewed as a measure of the Unpredictability of a message.
Increase information, unpredictability increases.
The natural state, i.e., most probable is a state of rest, which all information dispersed, as well, as the energy.
The more information you have, the less energy you need. Life is negative entropy.

LAW OF INTELLIGENCE
Any pattern of sufficient complexity will act intelligently, when treated as an entity.
A pattern more complex than ourselves will tend to have more intelligence.
