When you give something meaning, you are practicing magic.
Meaning doesn't exist out there.
All we see are objects in the universe. We imbue those objects with meaning based on our conditioning, mostly how our parents, peers and media imbue them with meaning.
Back in the day, you would go to the shaman to find out what meaning something had if you couldn't figure it out on your own.
Then an anthropomorphic God was created and people in the west would go to a priest to interpret the meaning of something.
Then we killed God and now we go to doctors to find the meaning of something.
Most people don't get that their physical sickness is directly related to a spiritual sickness (cause meaning is magic). Yes physical sickness is real, but so is spiritual sickness, intertwined.
But the materialist framework has the illogical stance that everything is material, yet they can't explain how the brain works at a mechanical level, they can not KNOW that everything is material, yet they loudly and arrogantly claim that they KNOW
So often times when we go to doctors for meaning and magic we find ourselves confronted with a person who rejects the magic part of it, yet still doesn't understand the entirety of the field with which they interpret, who thinks that they KNOW because the system teaches them to
Don't get me wrong, if you have been ignoring your spiritual/emotional/mental realities and find yourself in an acute crisis, then please go to a doctor because they are VERY GOOD at acute physical crises, but what few understand is that acute crisis often are just symptoms
Symptoms of the denial of magic, of the ability for humans to create their own meaning and change their own interpretations of this world.
The world shows us who we are, it does not show us the world itself.
The world itself is real, but it is ALWAYS INTERPRETED
Interpreted through the lens of magic.
Change the way you see, and you change what you see.
Here is the kicker,
Change the way you see, and you change the way others see because our interpretation is shared, sometimes without words. Humans are social to our core.
When you see something different than the rest and you share that by not repressing it, you have an influence on those around you. You help them reengage with the magic (or the sorcery of ego BS if you choose ignorance)
