I wrote this book for me. I decided to publish it for those wading through the "solitary but [would like to be] connected" current that has rose to relevance lately. My personal style of magic is Chromatic, Dynamic, and Self-Created. I accept the existence of external world, but have no way to make the bold claim that the world I create and dream about has any bearing on that world. When I cross the street, my chemical theatre (the brain) projects imagines of cars driving swiftly down the road. As I know the drivers of these vehicles may not feature me prominently or at all in their own representations, I find it very possible that the car that exists in my head can also exist in a way that utterly wrecks my body. But where mere mentalism makes a bunch of handwringing arguments for the primacy of subjective experience, I mostly proceed on probability. My world view mostly works, but then it breaks, and I have to fix it. So if anything, the paradigm I have on offer in this book also has a Bayesian characteristic.
