Law of Unity
"...every phenomenon in existence is
linked directly or indirectly to every
other one, past, present, or future;
perceived separations between phenomena
are based on incomplete sensing and/or
thinking; 'All is One'." (Bonewits,
REAL MAGIC). Modern science, as almost
always, comes around to confirm the
occultist's point of view. In Quantum
theory, Bell's theorem indicates that
once two particles interact, they
continue to influence one-another.
Since at the Big Bang everything
interacted, every particle in the
Universe affects every other. And this
influence is independent of time.
Recent experimental work (the Aspect
experiment) has confirmed Bell's
theorem. So, it seems All really is
One.
Law of Peversity
A final law catalogued by Bonewits is
the Law of Perversity. This is
Finagle's or Murphy's Law: "If
anything can possibly go wrong, it
will." Bonewits suggests that this may
be due to countermagic done by your
subconscious mind for whatever devious
reasons of its own. I disagree. I
believe this law reflects a basic
perversity in the structure of the
Universe. Perhaps it is related to
entropy. This law and its derivatives
strike us funny because THEY ARE SO
TRUE. Drop a piece of buttered toast
and see which side lands on the carpet.
