The extremes of probability and possibility are to be avoided like the Scylla and Charybdis. The extreme of probability is certainty, fixity, stagnation and routine; the extreme of possibility is infinity, which is the end of existence. In essence, these two extremes are one and the same, states of being where nothing happens – a state of non-being. After all, what is life if nothing happens?
Conscious ritualing combines the control of probability with the spontaneity of possibility. The protective realism of the bell-curve expands with the magical realism of imagination.
In crisis – the territory of would-be’s and could-be’s should not be entirely surprising when they occur to us. We have experienced them, always, in some manner previously. They are not only fruits of knowledge that we can’t resist but also seeds of experience we need to survive. They are qualiadelic.
