Intelligence of Transparency

In this chapter it becomes immediately apparent that complexity's a definite issue.

In today's society we feel the need to take the smart pill. Like the fast food concept, we want fast everything. 

Drive through psychotherapy. You'll find that from chapter to chapter there are apparent repeats and/or redundancies.

This is a similarity of any field of training that's worth undertaking.

It's the first glance at a new field of training that brings up questions, issues, curiosities, intrigue or confusion.

In my opinion, in order to simplify things, it's better to omit certain details at the beginning and then re-address those omissions after having clarified and set the framework for

the more complicated information to fall into place. To where the student says, "Oh, I get it."

Transparency is used in our society everyday by the government as a way of dealing with openness or clarification.

If a credit card company has put together a contract that makes it difficult for the average person to understand in order to trick the customer into paying higher fees/percentages

because by this or that clause, which is obscured by the wording of that contract, it's called a lack of transparency. It's seen as a form of deception and dishonesty.

As throughout our human history transparency has given an indication of showing or revealing or, in reverse (lack) being blocked and going unseen. 

In the military you'll hear a superior officer say "Do I make myself clear?" the response is, "Crystal, Sir!"

This terminology is an indication of understanding what's been communicated.

Many students of the magical realm have considered this area of knowledge to apply to a way of going unseen, being invisible. Being transparent.

Now you can see the different viewpoints here and they're to be considered each in their own perspective. For good reason they are a combination.

More than singular, in essence, yet resulting in a final outcome in dealing with comprehension.

This is important, this personal understanding as this card deals very potently with communication.

Not in just being told something but also understanding what you were told.

In the preceding chapter we dealt with Being and being alone. Concerning just being itself. Just to be. Nothing else.

Now we move on to the next step in dealing with communication from that point of being.

With communication in essence the very basics of communication should be considered, first.

Anything, at all, that is communicated, can be seen as a particle. A thing, item or an It.

This particle must start from a point of origin travel through space and be received by some point of reception. 

So simplistically we have three things, sender-particle-receiver.

In this view, throwing a ball to someone is a form of communication. Handing a gift is another form.

Once again this all seems very simplistic but is extremely important in the correct alignment of thought(s). It's easy to speak to someone,

without being heard. To throw the ball and even though someone is there to catch it, they don't try and it falls to the ground.

This lack of communication is easily handled by getting the attention of the intended receiver.

Look at your life. What do you do? Think about it.

Obviously you get the individual's attention somehow. You in some way call them. "Hey, Joe! Once you see that you've got their attention then you relay/reveal whatever it is

that you intended to communicate.

The reader should realize that I'm choosing my words carefully to bring the entirely uneducated beginner to a basic level of comprehension and also, simultaneously, stimulate

the mind(s) of the well-trained adept that has a greater degree of training and practice in these matters.

There are very many practitioners of magic that are born into it. This concept comes from a variety of personal sources (self determined) including having a parent that guides the

child through lessons learned by the parents own trial and error or success.

Another consideration is that the interested individual, not having parents who are magically inclined has determined, somehow, that they've lived a number of past lives and

within those former lives they've already done all, or most, of this type of work, before.

Whether or not this is truth the real importance is more that the person feels a sense of certainty, surety and thus security. 

Doubt in the smallest amount can be crippling in these works. I can say for many people but not for all people.

Once again you can interject saying; You're addressing something unknowable, in a knowledgeable way.Or addressing what is illogical, logically.

I could go on but hopefully you get this point as I'm presenting it. Using consciousness to condition/stimulate the sub-consciousness combining symbolic association.

This in itself could generate enough personal doubt to dissuade the argumentative reader from their progressing any further in their own personal development.

Should this be the case, then, it probably should be the case.

As mentioned these correlations aren't so easy for very good reasons. It's quite easy for a vicious person to grab a weapon. 

But not so easy when they can't figure out how the weapon is used. In my opinion, this is a good thing.

Here within the second card we develop an area of knowledge and deal with the conveyance/transfer of knowledge. 

Progressing to an area of knowledge of receiving and accepting communication. Using different aspects of similarity.
