We Are All Ghosts Dancing
I came across this great quote about imagination near the end of the Promethea Series by Alan Moore. It’s from the end of book five:
“Consciousness, unprovable by scientific standards, is forever, then, the impossible phantom in the predictable biologic machine, and your every thought a genuine supernatural event. Your every thought is a ghost, dancing.”
As I read Michael Talbot’s The Holographic Universe, I find this notion even more striking. If reality is but a mere holograph then we certainly may be Spiritual Beings having a human experience as Chardin has suggested.
All of us are just ghosts, carelessly dancing, much like the Fool of the Tarot as we float off that ledge.

Great blog, and I’m glad to see another witch with Gnosticism! I’m adding you to my links!

I took your advice and picked the book Holographic Universe up and all I can say is WOW! What a mind blowing book!

I agree. I’m glad you liked it. The book certainly stretches the mind a bit.

Have you read the Science of the Craft? It’s along the same lines of mind stretching.

No, I haven’t. But I will. I hadn’t heard of that one. I’ll order it.
