    Tarot, Possible Futures and Stoicism. (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Sometimes I feel a little like Pannychis XI, the wonderfully exasperated old Pythia in Friedrich Dürrenmatt’s Der Tod der Pythia (The Death of the Pythia). Pannychis is old, tired, and, above all, thoroughly fed up with the endless procession of Greeks arriving at Delphi with the same questions. What will happen to me? Will I be rich? Will I find love? Will my enemy perish? Will my son become king? Will my future be happy? The machinery of prophecy has become an exhausting bureaucracy. The Pythi

    The Strange Distance of Seeing: How Looking Changes What We See (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    There is a peculiar idea running through both physics and the philosophy of perception: observation is never quite as innocent as it seems. In quantum physics, this appears in what is commonly called the observer effect, or, more precisely, measurement back-action. At the quantum scale, measuring a system is not simply a matter of standing outside it and looking. To obtain information, we have to interact with the system, and that interaction can disturb it. The act of measurement therefore beco

    On the shore of the Greek Sea, in the placid harbour of Athens, was moored a ship that has been causing trouble (and headaches) for philosophers for a very, very long time. It is the Ship of Theseus, a legendary king of Athens and one of the great heroes of Greek mythology. The Athenians decided to honour the memory of their beloved hero by preserving his famous ship. A millennium and more later, the Londoners decided to do the same with the Golden Hind, the ship of the famous Captain Drake. ...

    The Inner Theatre of Tarot (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    The light goes off. The curtains open and the scene begins… theatre! You are immediately transported into another dimension, another world, whose rhythm is made by storytelling, visually represented… I love theatre. I collaborated in the creation of several visionary shows. I love it, from either side of the curtains. Theatre is deeply fascinating, and it is a very deep form of magic. It has immense power. Shows were banned for their messages, considered “too dangerous”. Revolutionary ideas star

    The Alchemy of Permutation: Tarot, Atoms, Consciousness. Part II (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    As we see in the previous part of this article, when we started to ponder the psychological fascination of repetition with variation, our minds seem to have a particular attraction to things that return but do not return exactly as before. The pleasure derives neither simply from repetition nor from novelty. It exists somewhere between the two: recognition followed by difference, familiarity interrupted by surprise. A pattern appears, and then it changes. We become alert. We start looking for re
