*The Law of Worldviews*
The world we perceive is actually a mixture of the nominal world (the Tao, the objective reality that is unknowable but which underlies all that we think we know) and ourselves (the subjective). Changing your worldview does not change the eternal, real world, but it does change the world you perceive. That is, changing your worldview makes real changes in the world which is real to us. Because there are an infinite number of ways to perceive the world, there are also an infinite number of worlds we may assemble without awareness.The true underlying reality is unknowable to us as long as we retain our worldview of separateness and self. You can become one with the universe but you cannot step back and observe it, because you are in it. You cannot observe a phenomenon without altering it by your mode of perception. There is no such thing as an independent observer. You participate in creating the world by perceiving it.
**The Law of Personal Universes** Every sentient being lives in and quite possibly creates a unique universe which can never be 100% identical to that lived in by another. So- called "reality" is a matter of consensus opinions.
**The Law of Infinite Universes** The total number of universes into which all possible combinations of existing phenomena could be organized is infinite. Anything is possible, though some things are more probable than others and so are easier to enact.
According to this law of magick, we live in a world of our own creation as well as an underlying or “real” world. Both worlds are real in as much as both affect us and our well-being, but the world you create through your perceptions is constantly changing based upon both the real world and your perception of it. Only your own personal world may be altered willfully. A good example of this is the use of positive affirmations. By convincing yourself of the possibility of change, you bring that change into being.
True immersion in the *real* world would remove any desire to change the world. You might ask why you cannot live in the *real* world, and I would have to say you can... but it is the world we go to when we die. So, you can visit for short periods, but not stay, unless you are ready to move from this plane to the next and leave your body behind. If you should manage to dissolve the illusion of separation from the nominal universe, you lose the ability to observe or alter because you have acknowledged your part in it. Since you cannot live in this *real* world all the time, affirmations, meditations, and spellwork are still valuable tools to reshape the subjective world you must live in. Attempting to alter reality immediately removes the observer to the mutable universe of perception and creation. It is only in the universes of our finite perception that changes may be put into effect because they are mutable, warped copies of the underlying universe which exists independent of our thoughts and perceptions.
Because the number of possibilities in any individual universe are infinite, so to are the types of phenomena you can cause through the application of will. However, since some phenomena are more probable than others, some will require less energy should you attempt to put them into effect. For instance, it would be easier to create a pig than a flying pig.
It is also difficult though not impossible for two (or more) people to agree upon the same phenomena. Creation of phenomena is easier with one observer (the self) and becomes successively more difficult the more (outside) observers are included. Should you manage to obtain the cooperation of other observers however, either in suspending their expectations or in focusing their wills on a joint project (through agreed upon symbolism), the bending of reality to the Will becomes easier than with only one observer/magi.
The Law of Worldviews is a valuable tool toward understanding the nominal universe and affecting the subjective universes of individuals. Application of this Law allows the creation or dispersal of energy in the form of phenomena through our selective perceptions and acceptance of possibility. If you believe you can see and communicate with fairies, angels, spirits, etc, then you will be able to by application of that worldview. If others share that worldview, they will be able to function partially within your world, and you within theirs. Shared perception creates a shared world through which you may affect each other. The shared world will become more real based upon the number of believers in that world. Thus if three out of four people believe enough in the presence of a spirit, they may be able to empower that entity to appear or cause phenomena the fourth non-believer may experience. It is not that we create a non-human entity (though it is possible to do so), but that we allow ourselves the option of perceiving it where others may prefer not to allow it into their personal worldview.
*Application of the Law of Worldviews*
It should be possible through the application of this Law to affect your general environment. First you must ask yourself what phenomena you wish to experience. What senses are you most comfortable experiencing? Of all the senses- sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell- which do you favor? Perception entails all the senses, including the psychic ones, so the phenomena you shoot for does not necessarily have to be visual or clairvoyant. You can try for clairaudient phenomena, taste, touch... whatever appeals to you.
Start with phenomena you are comfortable with and move on from there. Start small. Like meditation, control and mastery of this Law will take time and patience. Meditation is in fact a very useful skill in correlation with any application of Magickal Law and should be mastered before attempting focus the will on a particular goal.
Try not to force your reality to capitulate so much as anticipate the phenomena you attempt to manifest. Trying to force a change, attempting to dominate your reality, forms a subconscious belief resistence to your will that really does not exist. If you try to force change, you are saying you expect the universe to resist your attempts, but if you just expect something to happen, it will as matter of course.
The application of this Law is limited only by your imagination.
