Eco, Umberto…
A whisper from these lips confesses an open secret:
There is no secret.
All the mystery schools and Eleusinian plays:
Yes, no
their secret is not concealed.
Mythos.
The magic is that you assume it is hidden.
When seemingly unobtainable,
you wilt become willing to work for it.
But, what ritual teaches, you already know.
If you put in the work, your mind will show
Ewe.
But, solitary work lacks the energy of community.
Emergence of thinking in tandem.
A breath practice practiced alone is not the same as the communal.
I think therefore I am is now becoming:
I am seen therefore I am.
I shall believe it when I see it?
No dear.
You wilt see it when you believe.
This is the basic magic.
Simple reading shares,
what ritual prepares
to gift
Inquiring minds.
Worry less over initiation because they’d be lucky to have your machination.
This is wonderful.

Thanks, Bob. Written in response to my take away from Eco’s book Foucault’s Pendulum. While there is a wealth of esoteric gems inside, the unspoken motif of “the secret is there is no Secret” delighted me. As always, I appreciate your time in mind.
