Should We Seek Truth in Somé’s Magic?

We should explore the truth with Soma's magic. The most amazing thing about Malidoma Somé 's' Water and Spirit' is not only his special explanation about the opening ceremony of Dagara but also the way he comments on Western culture with his experience. For his growth and education, Som clearly explained the boundary between Dagara culture and his very different Western culture in his home country. Som himself expressed himself as "people in two worlds" and tried to explain his lifelong work to everyone.

Likewise, in the "Sword of Truth" series by Terry Goodkind, infamous empire medals try to eliminate magic. Their leader, Royal Jagang, is a "dreamer" who can control magical users (most) through genius control called genius. Essentially, Jagang and Empire Medal are trying to use magic to make use of magic - and this has become a historical trend in the world of Goodkind. If everyone in the society fears magic, those who give magic to the hero will collide quickly. They are guiding the authorities and the mobs all the time, either keeping them hidden or running constantly. In such a society, many people seem to regard magic users as manifestations of evil in the system of religious beliefs. They may also believe that Magic users can do a lot.

The truth we are going to impose on society as a whole should be objective - it should be counterfeitable, verifiable and reproducible. Otherwise, we will issue a superficial conclusion like the sun on the earth and imprison you pointing out that the innocent people broke up during the inspection. Our brain is a pattern searching machine, if we insist on doing that, they can always find patterns. However, programming them with wrong operating rules will find a defective pattern that is different from the AI ​​algorithm and women in the elevator.
