i think it is very likely we are all fragments of a single mind separated and

alienated by ideals and flesh so that this mind may know itself by viewing itself

outside of itself.

each person animal bug plant and rock is a different aspect of this mind, a

metaphorical representation. a way of it telling itself what it is tho its only

semi conscious like one in a dream, magick is performed when it awakens and the

dream becomes lucid, this life being the dream.

every one you will ever meet is a exaggerated portion of some part of your

personality made manifest as a human being. but you yourself are also an

exaggerated personification of a piece of every one else.

the mind seems to work like a black hole. taking in a great deal and radiating

a fraction of it back. maybe at the center lies a singularity in both the

universal and psychological sense. a place where this one mind is aware of itself

but only on a minute level.

Your views seem to be a kind of objective (Platonic) idealism:

using a 1960s IBM 360 metaphor, i believe we are all akin to data terminals, subservient to the mainframe but with a small degree of autonomy.

You're welcome. Also Google: Plato OR Neoplatonism OR Plotinus.
