Or at least… That’s the theory… If asking the way doesn’t work… There are a number of ancient techniques to assist entry into the spirit world… These include… Altered states of consciousness… Music… And dance… Techniques that are usually achieved within communal environments… There is a destination to all this… And it cannot be over stressed… That our present culture does not encourage such behaviours… In fact…. It expressly forbids, or denies them… The spirit world has its own narrative… Which runs beyond and counter to any that the control grid could ever think up.
***
This has always been the case… And is why Folk Lore… Which is expressly… A body of instruction… Left by the people who frequented the spirit world… For those people who would like to… Is written in code… The key to the code… Is difficult to describe… In narrative terms… Because narrative is the language of authority… But it operates about half-way between poetry… And narrative… And like poetry, when contemplated… It’s buried meaning rises to the surface as comprehension… And grants clarity and gnosis… In this sense it can also be described as experiential… And practical… Or crafty…
***
But what’s really crafty about Folk Lore… Is that it purports to be narrative… And thus confuses… The rule makers… And the rule followers… Into believing that it is nonsense… And contains nothing of any value whatsoever… Further, that it is the product of an uncivilised or primitive people mired in the errors and superstitions of the occluded past… There can be nothing more barbaric… Than jettisoning contact with spirit… In favour of the snares… And false idols… Of a hollow… And hence solely material realm… This is the realm, or world, that the control grid would enforce upon us all.
