“Of course there are robots among us. There are also Magicians among us. I think we take turns playing each role, as a matter of fact. The Magician defines a reality-mesh and the robot lives in it. Grok?”
― Robert Anton Wilson
Most of the time I see reality as being the best playground imaginable. We decide the boundaries. We choose what we allow ourselves to perceive out of a staggering amount of input to our senses and out of it we build what we think of as real. We then live in this reality often quite mechanically ignoring that which doesn’t fit and doing much the same things with what does. Occasionally something comes along that reveals that our take on things is merely a subset of all possibilities and our lives get turned upside down. We then get to choose another subset and start building again.
Occasionally some of us become aware that that is what we do and we start to intentionally choose the subset that works the best for us and we change it quite often. This insight also protects us from getting thrown by reality conflicts as we accept that reality is bigger than any concept we can have of it. What reality have you chosen today?
Blessings, G

like the tarot card. are you building a deck? also love the the inter-dimentsional calling card. the spider freaks me out a bit but that’s not unusual being an arachnophobic on a major level. reality-i am never sure what exactly that is. use to feel the need to check with others when younger to be sure i was experiencing reality as it existed. now reading what you wrote-are we all just thinking we live in a reality or are we making it up as we go along. like analyzing what is real in an acid trip. there is where you really can’t be sure whether your perception are real or not. more often they are not at all even close to being part of anyone elses reality. jk 🙄
Yes I have been for the last four years.. I only have 9 more cards to go, I hope to finish by the end of the year. Then a month or two spent fixing some of the images…
That is fantastic about the Tarot Deck. Very interested. Good luck. jk
Thank you 🙂
