"Magical Thinking" a Slur Against Enlightenment

Whenever you hear someone use the term "magical thinking," beware! You're dealing with an intolerant Aristotelian, a person who cannot conceive or concede that there may be a philosophical conception of the world (e.g. Platonism or even pre-Socratic philosophy, see The Philosophy of Success, elsewhere on this blog) other than his or her own (i.e. Aristotelianism).

This intolerance stems from their blind adherence to the law of causation, which makes it doubly important for the person of faith to develop an understanding of occasionalism (see The Law of Cause and Effect a Tenet of Faith elsewhere on this blog).

More commonly, people profess Aristotelianism but practice Platonism. For example, you never hear rich, famous, powerful people declaiming against visualization, which is a Platonic principle (see the Visualization of Success, elsewhere on this blog). This is because they couldn't have reached their lofty position without it--it cannot be otherwise.

To the contrary, it's always small people who vow and declare that visualization is a ridiculous notion. And they get what they visualize too.

Most wretched of all are Aristotelian-Platonists. These are people of faith who have nonetheless bought into the law of causality and all things Aristotelian. Bless their hearts, they are completely conflicted.

Aristotelianism is the experiencing of reality through the narrow aperture of thought alone. This is the very definition of sin, unconsciousness, forgetfulness of being, separation from God--all ways of saying the same thing.

When you forget being, you imagine a world without God. When you remember being, you automatically remember God and are one with God (or Universal Intelligence, The Good, the Universe, as you prefer).

Aristotle unwittingly legitimized sin, unconsciousness, forgetfulness of being; now most of the world's most intelligent people espouse it as their religion and our world suffers in ugliness as a result. Aristotelianism is a virus in human consciousness, a trojan horse housing the antithesis of beauty.

People of faith unite against the Aristotelian horde!
