My comment was directed at perception / observation and interpretation thereof in general concerning the thread topic. It might have been better to have asked, if ‘magical’ isn’t always an ‘subjective interpretation’?

When one feels ‘in sync’ with natural surroundings an inside feeling might coincide with outside happenings. Some would ascribe this to religion or alike, if a God Beeing is missing in their worldview. E.g. when it starts to snow when it hasn’t in a while and that falls into place with a feeling you haven’t had for a long time. Or recognizing a double rainbow at an ancient place above you after an emotional experience.

 

I’m very sorry you took my comment personal, that wasn’t intended. I just reflected upon own observations, and you and Cobie might scould me (again) for being so unobservant to other’s possible experience and perceptions. Apologies!
 

And thanks for clarifying: I wasn’t aware the sincere traditional Buddhists are as ‘playful’ as to consider such a subjective interpretation of events as their path. I always thought they were foremost going for ‘objectivity’ or oneness without suffering. Not personal peace with another person through connection.

But that was indeed an element I hadn’t thought about. If that is indeed a solid traditional interpretation of what this branch of Buddhism is about, I am glad to know that now.
So Vajrayana is a special way of subjective ‘connecting’ and interpreting? I might pm you about this question as it strays from the topic, even if it were a ancient tradition thereof.

 

 

 

No need to apologise ... all is in the spirit of good natured conversation as far as I am concerned.  I will answer your PM.  I don't want to talk too much about vajrayana on this thread because as you say the topic is Chaos Magic.
