The primitive way of knowing was more intuitive. There was not such an articulate language, so many stimuli and time passed differently. In that context, it was easier to get to communicate with reality in a more meditative and leisurely way. In this way, by witnessing the same rose, a much more direct communion with it would be reached without getting so close to the concept itself, but rather connected with its own vibration, smell, shape, color and essence.
There are many paths that allow us to know the manifestations of existence and two of its main ways may appear to be in opposition to each other, but in reality they do not
These are reason and intuition
We know that the mind and the heart are intimately related, the heart as an energetic center exerts a powerful influence on perception
The present way we come to know the world is through the mind, where language is the anchor and reason is the vehicle used
Both the association of the concepts to words as well as the distancing from the object provided by the mind, they act as filters that distance us in a certain way from the essence of what is perceived
For example: There are many people that when they see a rose they limit themselves to associate it to the image they have of it
and automatically their mind triggers the expression, "how beautiful"
The primitive form of knowledge was more intuitive, there wasn't such an articulate language, such an amount of stimuli and the time elapsed otherwise
In this context it was easier to get to communicate with reality in a more meditative and leisurely way
In that way by witnessing the same rose we would reach a much more direct communion with it without getting so close to the concept itself, but connected with an own vibration, scent, form, color and scent
Therefore, when approaching the world of magic it is important not to approach it through the eyes of others and also not through words, but by opening this more intuitive way of knowledge
Under this new perspective all existence is related and you can open yourself to the messages written in the situations, the clouds, the moon, the shells or the daydreams
Intuition is the golden bridge that will lead you to the most subtle and unpredictable knowledge
This is achieved through a more innocent gaze
and primal, which is cultivated from the opening of the mind and soul
When you open your soul you will be able to feel deep inside the pain, the anguish or the joy of the human beings who come to you seeking shelter
You access the mystery with the contagious curiosity of children, beyond rational interpretations
In this form of relationship with the existence, the art of imagining takes on special importance
Thoughts have an immense power to convert what you imagine into a truth that happens, anxiety or fear are a bad unconscious programming because you attract so much what you desire, as much as what is feared
Here appears the ritual, since ancient times it has been known the powerful influence of repeating a fact on the unconscious, which in turn is the great hidden driver of human behavior
If to this ritual is added the determination of a firm purpose and loaded with energy and faith the results can be limitless
A ritual is how to give a touch of attention and energetic charge to our purpose, ordering it with firmness and decision
When this path is started, the following usually appear some strange experiences, facts and situations that are out of all logic, but nevertheless they occur and we are able to explain the relationship between them
It opens a path of personal knowledge that will allow you to help many people, to contribute to your happiness
The altar, the chalice, the cauldron becomes very important because it has a lot of transcendence at the time of performing the rituals
With this way of seeing the world you will be able to connect much better with the wisdom of the past
and with the magical thinking
So don't forget to give the thoughts the meaning they deserve, ideas and evocations
It is fundamental to understand that the world of thought, spirit and matter are highly related and every gesture, word and every movement performed in a ritual
United to the intention as an expression of a thought, may have an answer on a different plane
