My loves,

I hope your week has been calm, ordered, and reasonably free from the constant psychic abrasion of the modern world.

I cannot promise the world itself has improved.

It has not. If my week on Twitter is anything to go by, it can be argued that it has seriously regressed and spiraled into voluntary idiocy.

The machine still feeds on agitation and every social media platform rewards outrage, speed, reaction, fragmentation. Attention itself has become colonized.

And because our attention has become fragmented, silence now feels unbearable to most people.

What does silence have to do with anything? You might ask…

Actually, it matters more than you think—in the context of theurgy more than anything else.

And that is because theurgy begins precisely where fragmentation of consciousness and attention ends.
