We may consider the world to be an objective phenomenon, but then we
are actually treating a psychic phenomenon as if it were an objective
phenomenon. To do so produces a certain kind of knowledge and a
certain strategy of association--an asana or a disposition--but it
does not change the fact that we exist essentially in a participatory
association with the phenomena of the world. We are inherently related
to the world in a magical fashion. The world itself is inherently a
magical process, a magical or psychic phenomenon.
