Philosophy of our Exchange
Peter has ten apples. And John has five pears. Peter wants pears, and John wants apples. They can, of course, barter by bargaining, but the point I want to make is this
The world is woven of cause and effect. It consists of logic. And if there is no logic, then there is essentially nothing that it does not describe. Don't you agree? Prove otherwise. At the same time, think about why any mystery at the beginning of the series holds your attention.
So, the logic. Peter can give some of the apples as well as John some of the pears to each other. They possess them, and this is logical, since they can only give away what they have. Well, they can't give away what they don't have, can they?
And this is where we're going to talk to you about magic. Because it is present in our reality in a marvelous way and covers areas not yet fixed by logic into matter or sequence.
For example, such a phenomenon as giving away what you do not have.
Well, let me tell you a secret. Peter borrowed apples! Just like that, essentially not having them, he's going to swap them for pears. It's a mystery! Except that it's only a simulacrum of magic for now, because for John Peter's apples are quite real. Here they are. He can see them and even touch them with his hands. In his reality he does not know that they are mythical in Peter's reality, so everything is logical.
The real magic begins when you want to buy something.
Yes, yes, to buy. There's nothing illogical about wanting, the illogical thing is being sure that you CAN and WILL do it, with things you don't possess.
Okay. Imagine that Peter is sure that he can buy John pears for apples. And John is sure that he can do the same with his pears. The two of them are sure that their objects have magic "purchasing power", but this confidence instantly disappears as soon as John refuses Peter, and Peter refuses John.
So what happens? It turns out that Petya must, through magical actions, maintain influence on John, so that he does not blow the deal. Create conditions in reality for everything to happen. If they work, Peter will be able to explain them logically; if not, logic will not work. And the fact that "buy" is magic becomes clearer when you don't have to do it once for all with these actions.
Now, let's get away from apples and pears and switch to currencies. So the logic is that you can only sell them, but they have no purchasing power, by the same principles described above.
Spin this thought. There is NO money power, for it is simply NOT LOGICAL. But there is a magic of expectations that money is filled with to make it "work. Magic is kind of like logic in reverse ("The Argument" to you), but that's a vast topic for another post.
So. If you agree with me, then open your trading terminal and find two differently colored buttons there. "Sell" and "Buy." So, one of them is a blatant fake, because it is not logical in view of the possible emptiness of the "DOM". See what I mean?
Now, Dollar. Where does he get the opportunity to buy anything?
It doesn't have one at all. You can only sell a dollar, for any currency that someone who owns it is willing, just like you, to SELL it to you. And you get a swap deal in the form of a two-way sale, which does not create any ILLUSIONS about the magical buying power that any particular instrument, and the dollar in particular, is endowed with.
I understand that perhaps you now, even after this explanation, do not grasp the difference and importance of the moment of realization of the current and real state of affairs. But it will become clearer if you realize the difference between the figurative meanings of the words "thank you" and "grateful" and learn at last to sort out illusions.
