Through the Looking Glass: Alice's Magic, Madness & Metaphysics -Jay Dyer (Half)
In his exploration of Lewis Carroll's works, particularly 'Alice in Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking Glass', Jay Dyer delves into the intersections of magic, metaphysics, and psychological theories. He associates Carroll's storytelling with themes of duality, predestination, and societal influences, while contemplating the potential connections to esoteric traditions like Qabbalism and Gnosticism. Dyer also examines the implications of Carroll's narratives in the context of mind control and psychological practices, linking them to historical figures and broader philosophical discussions about determinism. Through this analysis, he positions Carroll's writing as a complex tapestry that reflects deeper metaphysical themes and societal conditioning. Further, he critiques modern interpretations of these philosophies and their superficial adaptations in contemporary magical groups.
