that was soooo long before any of this synchronicity stuff started sweeping the nation.  before “the celestine prophecy” or “way of the peaceful warrior” – before the berlin wall fell.  and the bizarre, plastic reality we have now is so much more real than anything that was going on then . . . but it still feels like all that was somehow more permanent, although it wasn’t.  that horrifying blank materialist reality of “society” and “self-image” and crap is all gone . . . magic is certainly more real than any of that . . . but i guess the astral mechanics of all of it need to be understood.
