this might be my favorite quote of all time

“The greatest seers, saints and yogis agree on very little. Seeing this, who could not be indifferent to knowledge and become still?”

higher coherence, higher symmetry = having a better time

[gabrielle @legitimatetiger]

french nuclear physicist Jean Charon believed the electrons in your body are tiny thinking universes that remember everything they've experienced since the beginning of time. according to him, time loops inside every electron, so nothing it experiences ever disappears. every event and perception gets stored, replayed, and etched into the spirit’s own space-time, which is where memory itself comes from.

since nothing is ever lost, an electron's mind can only evolve with time. that means the building blocks of your very being are not only psychic but operating on eons of ancient intelligence coherently organized into matter, which is also always learning and evolving to your ultimate benefit. you are in constant psychic communication with it and you don’t even realize it.

It’s crazy how our societies are full of casual magic and rituals most people don’t even know they are performing.

Take the birthday song, which is literally a fire ritual/candle magic:

1 your name (binds the work to a specific person)

2 is written inside a circle (standard boundary in ritual practice)

3 with fire inside it (a medium understood to translate something from the material plane into the subtle one)

4 and you chant “happy birthday to you” three times (standard number of repetitions across most traditions)

5 you state your petition/desire (energetic exchange, who are you making a deal with?)

6 and then you blow out the candles (you give it your breath/lifeforce)

This one is weird though because traditionally, you let it burn and blowing out candles is considered bad practice because breath is used to scatter rather than direct. But regardless,

7 the light goes out (and the wish goes with it into the unseen)

8 then there’s smoke (a traditional carrier)

9 there are the witnesses (group participation is supposed to amplify the energetic charge)

10 and lastly the secrecy (a ritual principle, the working is sealed by not being dispersed through speech).

So the full sequence is: contained field, named subject, fire lit, collective chant three times, silent petition, breath released, seal held (or not? because you extinguish it). But it’s a complete working.

OK, do we even realize what we’re doing?? Nobody ever stopped to think about it, isn’t that wild?

Many things are like this.
