Real sorcery, like real magic, is all in the mind, a fact that all true sorcerers admit. But that doesn't make it any less real.
Er,... Wouldn't that be the Very Last Thing a "real" sorcerer would admit? Also, once again, ... define "real".
Sorcery, which need not be used only for evil purposes,...
Actually, at least one dictionary has the primary definition: 1 : the use of power gained from the assistance or control of evil spirits especially for divining . Compare this to "Wizard" (which lacks the "use of evil" connotation).
...involves a different kind of reality, and it is up to its practitioners to shift their awareness to the reality where sorcery is a true fact of nature.
But if it's, as you say, all in their minds, what's the point? What makes it any different from any other aspect of the imagination? And if we agree the mind IS a part of nature, then what makes it a different reality?
Fractals are also a true fact of nature, and like sorcery, they exist in a different kind of reality -- the reality of the world of numbers.
Is that a "different" reality or just an aspect of the plain ol' one we enjoy every day? -- |_ CJSonnack <Chris@Sonnack.com> _____________| How's my programming? | |_ http://www.Sonnack.com/ ___________________| Call: 1-800-DEV-NULL | |_____________________________________________|_______________________|
