As I am asking questions that are probing, like “what displaces humility when someone doesn’t accept the capacity?” I am bumping up again and again to magical thinking.
When I look at the ethnic/cultural distribution of the people who block humility in favor of magical thinking, I find that
- spirit god cultures, like Native American and African, Shamanic cultures.
- Catholic, Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox alike
- Religious Jews
- People of the Indian subcontinent… where it is how it is… you are stuck there
In magical thinking, something or someone will mag














Being ((The state or quality of being being; existence)) is a tricky word, in every language I know. We use it as if it were cheap, inconsequential, but it causes mischief.
