Pictorial 177

 'Would it work logically to say there are 2 universes: one has a geometry that is related to geometry of light, the other doesn't? The 2 universes are split and are not consistent one with the other.'

I put this to Vincent of UVS with the understanding that it is a very ancient proposition, a Manichean battle for supremacy.

There is an underlying presumption of mathematical science that there is one universe and that it is technical. This quote is from Thongor in the City of Magicians by Lin Carter.

(The wizard's) voice rang out, thrilling with cold fanaticism, but Thongor's lips twisted in a grimace of disgust.

"The mind lives, the body dies," he growled. "And tell me, Druid-what of the soul?"

Cold mockery gleamed from the green eyes.." In all.our anatomical researches, I fear we have not discovered the seat of that elusive component. "

The basic assumption of sorcery or scientism is that the universe is capable of understanding by rational principles. However, as pointed out back on HB95, there is another view that opposites such as order and freedom cannot be reconciled.

They are balanced, and there exist on Earth primitive places of power. There is an empirical traditional of dirt and cleanliness that sanctifies the strength of the earth in fertility rites.

Bathing rituals often take place in mineral-rich sites that exemplify the restorative power of the Earth (HB2).

Balance produces strength; it is not a product of a rational universe of mathematical particles. That universe is Apollo; an illusory reality of order that does without the unthinking or Dionysus.

Unthinking development is a primitive act of naturalism that organized thought attempts to quell. The creative-unconscious of the unthinking cosmos.

A world of order (the mirror of illusion) reads the hymn-book of profit motive that weakens the ambience of unthinking realism in the silent biers and flowers of the country.

If that world of strength is a product of primordial balance, it is not also a product of geometric order. The sorcerers and scientists - from Newton on - are convinced by the geometry of light (the mirror of infinite reflections where differences become sameness) into entering a mathematical space.

In Relativity, that is Minkowski space. It is a convincing illusion that enables the mathematical reality - of the geometry of light - to become universal.

In fact, it is the unthinking reality that is universal, in that it produces strength and fertility, dirt and cleanliness, rituals of the places of power on Earth.

Without balance, our psyche, moral and physical powers are weakened, corrupted by the words of order and comfort from acolytes of a mathematical illusion.
