High Definition Plate Tectonics

"It’s all SYNC, we just go right out and say it.  Whereas like, it’s completely implied when we say ‘sync,' but when you look at it, what are the prime tools that are being used to extrapolate the information with these different systems?  The O.T.O. is obviously one of them.  Mysticism across the board plays with correspondences, so “this corresponds to this”.  But then you’re basically, you’re getting information because of how these two things connect, or three things, or whatever.  So, you’re like “how does this relate to this?”  There’s information inherent in the relationship that you wouldn’t get with the thing alone.  You watch the Wizard of Oz, a really good movie with lots of symbolism, then you put it on mute and you watch it with Dark Side of the Moon and you get a whole other message.  Whereas, if you listen to Dark Side of the Moon all by itself, it’s a really great album all on its own, with its own set of symbolism.  But the two together produce something that you wouldn’t have otherwise.  So 777, Crowley’s book of correspondences, I mean, all that is is ‘sync’. That whole book is ‘sync’.  A ‘sync’ handbook.  That’s foundational, in terms of the work.

And you want it to be instantaneous, that’s the goal.  

So as soon as you say “geburah” you want to be able to visualize the corresponding color,  you want to be visualizing:  “Boom, RED, ok…”.  Then everything that comes with that.  Then you’re like “Mars”, and what does Mars mean?

You don’t want a conceptual understanding of Mars, 

you want an energetic understanding of Mars.  

You want to be in touch with what we’re talking about when we say “Mars”, beyond any image of the planet.  What are we getting at here?  What are we looking at?  Ok, so you’re like, "Mars has to do with tobacco or cocaine" which would be signifiers of Mars energy.  What do those things have in common?  Severity.  But that’s just one example, and how does this relate to this?"
