Spontaneity is closer to thought than feeling because thought is its most effortless expression. Spontaneity prefers thought (moving from concept to concept) and imagination (sequentially positing images) because it can actualize its goal (the having of a fact) so easily in those plastic and cooperative domains.

Desire can objectify itself quickly and easily by running through named rules, or concepts. I know I know the meanings so I don’t have to post an image at every step. But if I did, I would still be speeding. Serial positing of images is also effortless.

Magick reigns first in pure will (intention), then in thought, then in imagination, and finally in voluntary muscle movement (including speech).

The highest layer of reality, the intelligible, which fills awareness and is identical with it, is executor over a repository of type names. We know rules for image making, and we can construct episodes about objects, properties, relations, and events because we can evoke these rules in an order that tells a story. This is close to the agentive core.

But what motivates story-telling is feeling. Story-telling is one of our reactions to feeling. We project the meaning on the sensation and imbue it with substantial ought against its existence and feel aversion towards this reified problem.

We contradict the given with the judgment that it ought not to exist. This creates an antagonistic substance. That is the specter that we target with aversion.

The real is resistance to agency when it arrives, and we magnify it with aversive judgment, which uses concepts that are eternal beings outside of time. We inject an atemporal essence into what is already factually resistant and make it essentially resistant.
