2/8 EL PARADIGMA DE LA MAGIA - ENTREVISTA JOSÉ LUIS PARISE
Exploring Sacred Knowledge Across Cultures
The Journey of Discovery
- The speaker recounts their journey in seeking out sacred individuals across various cultures, emphasizing the difficulty of finding such people and documenting their teachings through film.
- A project emerges to create films about these teachings, with the speaker wanting to validate their findings before sharing them with the world.
Original Teachings and Timeless Wisdom
- The speaker distinguishes between theory and original teaching, referring to it as "original wisdom" or "white wisdom," which transcends cultural boundaries.
- This knowledge is described as universal information that manifests at different levels according to the inhabitants of the universe, not merely a theoretical construct but rooted in myth.
Historical Context and Cultural Connections
- Reference is made to Helena Petrovna Blavatsky's work on how original knowledge flows into our planetary cycle through seven mother races, with humanity being part of the fifth race.
- The speaker notes that this original wisdom is echoed across various ancient cultures (e.g., Jews in India, Incas, Aztecs), highlighting its continuity despite cultural differences.
Institutional Religion vs. Original Wisdom
- The institutionalization of religions often leads to separation from original wisdom rather than unity; churches can act as barriers instead of bridges.
- Critique is directed towards organized Christianity for straying from Christ’s teachings, emphasizing community over institutionalized practices.
Understanding True Teaching and Results
- The speaker argues against calling religious leaders "father," citing direct contradictions to divine teachings found in scripture.
- They assert that true religion stems from an original source meant for creating realities rather than mere belief systems; magic serves as a contemporary term for this ancient knowledge.
Practical Application and Rigorous Learning
- Emphasis is placed on practical results derived from understanding these teachings rather than philosophical speculation; there exists a method behind achieving outcomes.
- Differentiating between knowledgeable individuals and true masters becomes crucial; one must assess life experiences when evaluating potential teachers.
Universal Principles Governing Reality
- The speaker highlights that principles governing all areas of life are interconnected; success or failure in one area reflects overall life mastery.
Understanding Magic and Reality
Introduction to Numerology and Kabbalah
- The speaker discusses the journey of learning through numerology and Kabbalah, emphasizing a continuous process of understanding what is lacking in one's knowledge.
- An introductory level is established, leading to practical applications in supervision groups that monitor the application of magical methods.
Application Over Theory
- The focus is on linguistic topology and logic, teaching steps through algebraic parables rather than traditional instruction; learning occurs through application.
- Knowledge acquisition is framed as an active process where applying learned concepts leads to deeper understanding, contrasting with passive learning.
Illusion vs. Reality
- The concept of magic originates from "maya," meaning illusion; recognizing life as an illusion is crucial for personal growth.
- The second etymology of magic relates to separating oneself from this illusion, allowing for the creation of a personal reality beyond shared perceptions.
Historical Context of Science and Magic
- Four centuries of scientific thought have distanced humanity from the idea of creating a personal reality; historical figures like Newton and Einstein are noted as having studied magic.
- The narrative suggests that science has evolved from magical principles, challenging conventional views on objectivity in observation.
Paradigm Shifts and Individual Experience
- Quantum physics introduces the notion that observers influence outcomes, reinforcing the idea that individuals create their own realities.
- Personal transformation requires navigating paradigms that assert external reality; this journey is individualistic rather than collective.
Discovering Inner Magic
- Two perspectives emerge: one emphasizes finding the magician within oneself while another highlights the need for education in magic.
