The following is a philosophical post based on the theme of reality and the manipulation of reality. In the first half reality is described as a construct of the human mind that is then projected outward onto the world and proceeds to describe the several kinds of reality and their acts of construction. These acts of construction of mans reality and the manipulation of reality place people into several groups either a philosopher, a master of reality or a wizard. These people have various means of creating their reality wither through thought like the philosopher or the manipulation of the physical like the masters of reality. The second part is the reveling that natures reality only changes as one throws a stick in the river.

-Reality-
Fire
and Post
Man
kinds world is interpreted through the eye. The eye that sees the
world is connected to the mind. The mind which resides in the head.
All reality is interpreted in the head. Reality interpreted in the
head based on the eye and the senses is not false. For even the blind
have their own reality which they interpreted through sound. Sight
does not lie and to the blind sound is their sight and therefore he's
reality. This reality is the unconstructed reality, the reality of
sense. The reality of sight and sound. The reality of the world. In
every persons mind is not only a unconstructed world but a world of
construction, a world of thought, a world of oneself. The world of
ones own mind. Humanity creates this world then has the need to
project the world outwards. This is no fault of their own when man
first put the post of he's house into the ground or walked into a
cave and created fire for warmth was the moment the constructed world
was projected onto the unconstructed. In our lives we will project
our construction onto the non-constructed world. Every word one
speaks is an act of this construction.
The
Philosopher
The
philosopher creates a reality with a mode of logic which is then
taught to the student. This is not evil for the philosopher does so
to help the student but even this intention of good is laced with
agenda for mankind reality is always laced with agenda due to the
fact that it is he's own. For in philosophy one is taught to think
with a certain mode of logic. This mode of logic is it's own reality.
Once the student is taught this logic and interact with this logic
they become engaged in the constructed reality of the philosopher. In
this reality the one who creates the reality will inevitably win
debate. The philosopher will continue to win in such a reality until
the student learns the mode of thought and beats the philosopher.
Much in the same way an invading army will always lose until they
understand the lay of the land which they intend to conquer. Once the
student beats the teacher with the logic of the teacher he or she
becomes the master of the philosophers reality.
Masters
of Reality
One
who is reality is the master of reality. One who enters a reality
either effects change apoun he's reality to become the master or will
let the reality change them. The person who lets reality change them
may not seem to be the master of he's or her reality but by becoming
part of the reality with the intention of changing that reality have
become the master of reality. Thous who do not wish to effect change
on their reality becomes their reality. They become masters of their
reality for the variation of self creates the change and that change
is what makes the master. Mankind will always wish to change their
reality much like the wizard changes he's reality with ritual.
The
Wizard
The
wizard in he's or her desire wishes to effect reality. The wizard has
a need to change reality with will. The wizards will to change
reality comes from want. The wizard in their ritual state is like the
philosopher who creates the reality with thought form that is then
used as logic to teach the student. The wizard with ritual constructs
he's reality in the unconstructed much like the engineer and
architect constructs in the unconstructed with physical material. The
wizard is the middle between the philosopher and the architect. The
philosopher constructs with idea and thought. The architect
constructs with physical material. The wizard knowing the thought
like the philosopher wishes to effect the physical reality like the
architect with ritual so that the thought becomes the physical
reality. In order to do so they enter quintessence.
Quintessence
The
wizard in their need to make thought physical goes into the reality
of thought but the wizard is not the philosopher and does not create
thought. The wizard in their being believes that thought is already
created and that thought can be projected into. They then go into the
astral to find the thought to bring forth onto the unconstructed.
Once found they through ritual, try to bring to fruition the thought
if the ritual is done correctly the the thought becomes fruition for
only a fraction of second in the span of reality. In their distress
at their failure they try to make the thought real. They are like the
architect and like an architect knows when a method fails. So they
construct the thought onto the unconstructed with words, sound, pen
and ink. They then migrate from wizard to artist seamlessly and have
constructed the thought onto the unconstructed by use of stimulation
of senses. The stimulation of the eye, the ear, and the touch. The
simulation of the mind, which is the stimulation of mankind's
interpretation, which is the stimulation of mankind's reality and
that stimulation is the changing of that reality.
Part
II
-The
Image and the River-
Outside
When
the world of the changed becomes to much the mind begins to be
overwhelmed. Man then seeks the unchanged. The unchanged world of the
outside. When he is outside all the aspects of the changed fades
until he see's the electrical pole. This then tells him that the
unchanged has become changed. Man then despairs for he knows that his
change has made the unchanged changed.
The
River and the Blackberry bush
Mankind
in his suffering of the unchanged reality looks to the river for
solace and notices the rippling of the water. In that rippling close
to the bank is a near perfect reflection of the blackberry bush. This
brings joy to mankind for as he stares at the reflection he notices
the rippling distorts the image making it change. He is reminded that
the water is unchanged reality and discovers that even the unchanged
reality creates change. He looks at the changing image of the
blackberry bush in the reflection of the water then sees that the
plant has remained part of the unchanged reality in it's physical
form. Then he looks at the bud of the plant and is told through his
senses that the unchanging reality changes.He no longer despairs for
he knows that although he's change comes from thought implemented
through with action. It is not unlike the change of the plant from
flower to bud, to fruit.
Cement
He
feels as one with nature for he now knows that like the cement
cracking next to the river bed he's change becomes changed by the
unchanged reality. Just as the seasons change the unchanged reality.
Burnt
stick
In
he's contemplation man throws a burnt stick into the river causing
ripples to distort the image of the black berry plant until it is
unrecognizable the ripples perter out leaving the first image of the
plant in the reflection. Which is a reflection of the unchanging
reality in it's change. He draws a conclusion about he's change on
reality and walks away. Neither solely a wizard, an architect nor a
philosopher.
