[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 8002765, member: 59082"] I don't know the Magic cosmology well enough to comment, but I think we can also account for the Great Wheel and the World Tree, as well as variant cosmologies. In my mind they are all compatible--but we have to get out of the "Myth of the Given" and Newtonian physics, and dip more into the quantum paradigm. So here's my take: The actual ontological nature of the multiverse is unknown. Maybe there is an order of cosmic beings that oversees it and know the true structure of it all, but for the inhabitants of the planes--even the gods--it is, well, a matter of how you look at it. The different cosmologies are paradigms that have both a conceptual structure to them, but also a praxis. The conceptual and perceptual structure actually form an experiential reality. In other words, the multiverse works closer to the laws of quantum mechanics than Newtonian physics. It is kind of like Earthly ideologies: none are absolute truth (unless you're a fundamentalist of a specific ideology), but all have relative truth. They are perspectives that lead to an injunction, which in turn creates an experiential reality. [/QUOTE]
