This incredible image just sucked me in. Then I read the post and got the chills: The real secret of magic is that the world is made of words, said Terence McKenna in Alien Dreamtime, and that if you know the words that the world is made of, you can make of it whatever you wish. Heres my version of that hypothesis: What world you end up living in depends at least in part on your use of language. Do you want to move and breathe amidst infertile chaos where nothing makes sense and no one really loves anyone? Then speak with unconscious carelessness, expressing yourself lazily. Constantly materialize and entertain angry thoughts in the privacy of your own imagination, beaming silent curses out into eternity. Or would you prefer to live in a realm thats rich with fluid epiphanies and intriguing coincidences and mysterious harmonies? Then be discerning and inventive in how you speak, primed to name the unexpected codes that are always being born right in front of your eyes. Turn your imagination into an ebullient laboratory where the somethings you create out of nothings are tinctured with the secret light you see in your dreams of invisible fire. --Rob Brezsny
