    Dear Rawn,

    >>>I'm not suggesting a dualism between body and Mind. However, there
    is a hierarchy of causality. In other words, physicality is a natural
    consequence of a mental causality but that mental causality is not a
    consequence of physicality. This hierarchy of causality is important
    to the practicalities of Hermetic magic since the magician works with
    the higher causalities in order to affect the lower consequences. For
    example, when one wishes to directly perceive essential meaning, one
    doesn't consciously activate the right hemisphere of the brain;
    instead, one willfully adjusts one's mental state.<<<

    I would definetly beg to differ and say that the threads of causality
    do run both ways. This is primarily through my experience within
    Taiji Quan and Qigong. In particular when looking at how posture
    effects emotion, and hence mentation. When one stands upright, raises
    one's arms over their head and flexes their biceps...one will most
    definetly find it rather hard to say, "I'm depressed." In contrast,
    if one slouches forward, puts ones head between their legs, they will
    find it rather hard to yell out, "I'm happy!"

    Physiologically speaking, this is just an application of proper
    posture. When one sits or stands upright, with the spine errect, none
    of the nerves throughout the spinal cord are not pinched and neural
    activity can travel up and down the spine freely. When one slouches
    and the spine is otherwise not errect, then the spinal nerves are
    crimped and neural activity can not move as freely, henceforth
    effecting one's state of mind.

    Love and Live well,
    Peter Reist
