Word-Sword Principle

Recommended Posts

I´m not exactly sure where to post this but I guess that´s what the moderators are for ;)

One of the recurring themes in my life right now seems to be subjective vs. objective reality. I came across this quote of Aleister Crowley´s:

Crowley perceived his role of energising war when he wrote that the prophetic events contained in The Book of the Law could only be put into action by its publication. Thus, a series of violent and bloody conflicts came into effect after this powerful grimoire was published. This is the "word-sword" principle: words spoken or published which give effect to outcomes or consequences.

Seems to me to be kind of a "field of dreams" philosophy....If you build it they will come (if you create the perception, the perception will become reality).

I don´t really know too much about him nor do I have the inclination to "delve" into him. I know that he was very involved with occult things and was highly respected by some people in power. I´m sure many readers know much more about him than I do.

I was talking with an aquaintance and durin the course of our converstaion, he mentioned something to me that I found quite interestin. he´s a real computer uy and was doing work for the Mexican Fed overnment, workin with uys pertty hih up. I´m not sure of the exact time frame but it was about 5 years ao. He told me that he started to notice in the forein press (specifically USA) that they had started to publish and report stories about the increase in violence here in Mexico BEFORE it actually started to happen. He was concerned about this and approached his main contact about startin an internet campain to "nip it in the bud" so to speak. He spent more time researchin it and found that what was bein printed did not correspond to what was actually happenin at that time. After pushin a bit to try to get somethin oin he wasw basically told to "foret it"

The one thin that president Fox refused to do (even thouh there was pressure both national and international) was to send troops into Mexican states and cities. it was one Of president calderon´s first moves as president. Let´s look at some statistics

In the chart from here for 2006, Mexico doesn´t even make the top 25

Now let´s take a look at what has happened since 2008 and Calderon sent in the troops

All the charts come from here:

Takin a look at grafica 2

Escalante argues that the violence spiked in places where the government sent the military to fight drug trafficking gangs. This includes the states of Guerrero, Michoacan, Chihuahua, Sinaloa, Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas, which have some of the highest homicide rates in the country. These are also where Mexico's most powerful criminal syndicates, the Gulf Cartel, the Zetas and the Sinaloa Cartel, are engaged in an all out war over territory, the epicenter of which is Ciudad Juarez, which saw record murder rates last year. After the military began patrolling Ciudad Juarez, Chihuaua in 2007, Escalante writes, statewide homicide rates rose from 14.4 murders per 100,000 people to 75.2 in 2008 and 108.5 in 2009.

So we can see from this that there has been HUgE increase where the troops have been sent.

Let´s contrast this with muder rates in states where tropos were not sent

As can be seen their is a direct correlation between where the troops are and where the murders occured

This chart breaks it down by state:

Tasa de homicidios per state

This only takes up to 2009 but it can be plainly seen that where the troops go the murders increase DRAMATICALLY and where they don´t go the change is minimal. I´m sure we are all well aware that the statistics have been increasing since 2009

So, I understand that one take on it is that the troops have been sent and that these are the places where The WoD is bein fought and so of course there will be an increase.

But if I look at Crowley´s Word-Sword priciple and with the conversation I had with my friend in addition to a lot of other thins I have been readin lately, I am left questionin which came first the perception of violence or the violence itself? Crowley seems to be a big believer that the perception must be created first.

This also ties in quite nicely woith then post I made a couple of weeks ao Belief is Creation (creer es crear)

http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=213167

I uess other people didn´t find it interestin :hmm: but I found it to be quite thouht-provokin

It´s easy for us to accept that our physical perceptions créate the reality we live in. Is it not also possible but plausible that our mental perceptions also help to créate the reality we live in? It is certainly not a new idea (The Secret etc.)that we can create the reality we want. So,is major media used to CREATE a perception which we all internalize and then help make reality?

What comes first the chicken or the egg?

(Sorry about the missing “g” thing but I really can´t be bothered to paste them in all the places they belong) :wacko:

The chicken cannot be without the egg - but the egg cannot be without a chicken.

We are born and then we die. We cannot remember before we were born, and we cannot remember death. Perhaps we die, and thus before birth, we are dead, and then we live. After living for a while, we do eventually die. But when we die, maybe we cannot remember anything because we are born - and thus, if you refer to what I aforementioned: we cannot remember before we are born - but why? Because we are born to die, just as we are dead to be born.

Live seems to be a self-fulfilling loop. Our perception is relative to us, yes, but I perceive it as simultaneous - in its nature being a loop; we constantly perceive and interact with matter - thus everything is corporeal because we see it, but we can only see it because it is in our mind. But we could never feel it in our mind, thus we need our mind to create it, so we can perceive it - just so that we can interact with it.
