MAGICAL SYSTEMS "OBJECTS OF INFLUENCE" Symbolic objects such as cards, talismans, paintings, engraved furniture etc. is either real or false, and should be considered for its perfection, and be devoid of negativity. Unstable objects like rickety shelves and balances can be used to test the power of a symbolic object in question, such as a medical textbook. Symbols of power mean something against everyone who does not possess such symbols. Many objects such as comforts and luxuries add to the power of symbols, by reinforcing their legitimacy (providing a context for appreciating them, and therefore, taking them seriously). The strongest political domains thus have comforts, put negative symbols into question, possess symbols of power, and make positive use of symbols.          BACK TO SYSTEMS
