Buddhism and Magic: Exploring Orientation towards Time

Buddhism and magic are human attempts to understand and navigate our relationship with time. Buddhism provides guidance on how to properly orient ourselves to a constantly changing reality, alleviating suffering and walking in sync with time. It offers the Eightfold Path as a way to interact harmoniously with the fluctuations of existence. Magic, on the other hand, seeks to manipulate time and alter the flow of reality. Both practices address our time-bound nature as human beings and offer insights into how we can navigate this temporal existence.
