REFLECTIONS

The Greek Philosopher Plotinus spoke of guardian daemons and of the idea that each individual is a microcosm of the ordered universe; this bears a strong resemblence to the holographic theory (i.e., the universe as hologram). And Democritus viewed the image-making abilities of God as at the heart of the concept of the guardians, the realm of the daemons. I am always amazed at the way in which Anthony's text, ITLAD? and CTF theory has truly closed the circle of the pathway from ancient Greek philosophy to quantum physics and post-modern science.

A second thought: Jesamyn had asked me regarding practical ideas of how to reach one's daemon. I do not know how others feel or think on this issue; for myself, I take the decidedly Kierkegaardain view that there is no trick one can employ. One does not make the choice, but is called, as it were, by the daemon. The unity must be forged hour by hour, through our thinking, living, relating, dreaming. . .
