“That which we believe at a most basic level - often beneath the cultural facade of official ideologies - organizes energy with great emotive force. (Our emotions are thus often keys to our most basic beliefs.) To the larger bank from which our world unfolds we "contribute" these private visions, both by our exoteric presence and actions, and by our co-manipulation of esoteric energy fields in which we are participant creators. Empowered by imagination and emotion, our beliefs are the matrix of our experience. Culturally, our beliefs are manifest and various social, economic, and political orders, whether "ideally" operative or aberrational.”
