We Aim To Be That New Faith
"In some respects, science has far surpassed religion in delivering awe. How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded; "This is better than we thought! The universe is much bigger than our prophets said - grander, more subtle, more elegant. God must be even greater than we dreamed"? Instead they say, "No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way!" A religion, old or new, that stressed the magnificence of the universe as revealed by modern science might be able to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by conventional faiths. Sooner or later, such a religion will emerge." ~Carl Sagan
The Second Valence: The Pentavalent Is An Adaptive Metaphysical Operating System
Majick is a Meta-Physical Technology that can be enhanced by, and is ultimately reconcilable with, Patriarchal Science, and it is the duty of all Her Practitioners to study both Disciplines and work toward their reconciliation and integration, tempered by the awareness that they cannot yet know how said reconciliation shall ultimately manifest.
~I wanted The Third Valance to be second, but E said, "Anyone who comes to this will Know The Goddess, so why beat them over the head with that? No, what they must first understand is that this work isn't supernatural, it's metaphysical, and is in fact just an unexplored science, a body of knowledge that can be quantified and taught. This Precept is the one that will truly change the world." And, as usual, I have come to see that She was right.
~I have also been looking at Donna Haraway's "A Cyborg Manifesto" as a source of further inspiration.
