Allister Crowley lied and used his practices to weasel into the golden order and then falsified a ritual to speak with the devil. He then made everyone who ever joined do so as well. Magic is science unidentified. Mana means Magic, and Magic was a term before Crowley. Not Crowleys gross excuse. He just implemented mind control tactics and manipulation because he was worried the order would kick him out. As for mind over matter, it affects something like 15%. That's the increase on muscle mass people had who only changed their lifestyle by focusing on the thought of exercise for 15 minutes a day. But all that is besides the point of we don't know until we try.
Real magic exists but not in the way you might think or expect it to. Look at old Native American medicine men some who spoke with what they themselves called "demons" and some gave power to them to make things happen, read people, visions, etcetera. But be warned. You see the outcome of them doing this. They had land stripped from them, families taken, wiped out even. This is why you never consult with spirits.
It’s wild how many people don’t believe magic exists, yet those same people claim to be religious. Nearly every major religion in the world acknowledges the existence of magic in their respective religious texts.
Huh, most people of any spiritual faith seem to grasp something magical from what I gather. It’s typically fanatical atheists that only believe in materialism and what is tangible. I’m Christian, there’s mentions of magic throughout the Bible. Moses against the pharaohs magicians come to mind.
Thank you for bringing this to the public. Magick is in everything, and poeple use it everyday without realizing it, what you say, how you say it, the intent behind what you say and how you say it.
I’m a career magician & poet (mixing these disciplines in performance. Throughout my 17+ years I’ve experienced elements of real magic within the performances - whether that be uncanny coincidences or even, dare I say, accidental telepathy. Perhaps it’s all delusion or bias, but it does seem to me that by synthesising the pretend stuff, we sometimes evoke the real magic. It’s also worth considering that our entire existence is magic in and of itself. We acknowledge the miracle of creation, but often have no space for anything miraculous to occur after that…
If she charged you cash, I don`t think she was actually a witch. I think she was more likely what`s called a hooker...among other terms. She could have been a witch though or, a hooker & a witch. There`s probably more money in being a hooker than being a witch.
Hahhahaha. You see how this happens tho bc he’s a history channel conspiracy documentary “historian” so he’s not used to the questions he’s asked being recorded🤣🤣
Trying to look for the secrets of the Creator right in front of His face without asking Him is a pretty ballsy flex and one deserving of the absence of His presence as it is consequenced to be.
Talking is like magic but people seems to undermine it as something mundane. By making certain sound you can plant an image in someone elses mind, you can invoke certain emotion. It's magical!
Everything is science or magic. The key difference is the understanding of the mechanism you are using. (Imagine bringing an iphone back to salem during the witch trials)
That's because we understand what is being said. It's not the act of saying something. Someone can talk to you in a language you don't understand and it is meaningless to you, plants nothing in your mind, evokes no emotion. Even if you understand the language, you may not know the meaning of the word. If I say 'I'm feeling sad today,' that certainly makes you feel something. Perhaps some sympathy, empathy, a need to find out why, the wanting to make me feel better. If I say 'I feel melancholy today' and you don't know what melancholy means, you feel nothing. Making a sound is meaningless unless we know the meaning of the sound itself.
@@justinm2697yeah, we can also tell from body language what they're saying, although native English speakers are usually less expressive when talking.
We speak our reality into existence. You are casting spells when you talk. That is why it is called spelling... Everyone needs to know who Jordan Maxwell is
All I need to know if Magick is possible is to look at who, throughout history, have spent countless hours trying to harness it. The very wealthy and powerful. Those people have enough power and money to not worry about Majick, but they put a lot of effort into it anyway. Either it works enough for them for what they want or it is what helped them gain fortune and power to begin with.
Let me recommend three books by Franz Bardon's (1909-1958) for advanced students of spirituality: 'Initiation into Hermetics,' 'The Practice of Magical Evocation,' and 'The Key to the True Kabbalah.' Step 10 of 'Initiation into Hermetics' represents the true goal of spirituality-merging with that which is infinite and eternal (Absolute/Tao/Akashic realm/Brahman/God). 'The Practice of Magical Evocation' (Franz Bardon’s second book) and 'The Key to the True Kabbalah' (Franz Bardon’s third book) are integral to step 9 of 'Initiation into Hermetics.'

@supernaturalabilitiessiddh8027 why would I believe in woo-woo? Go collect the MILLIONS that are up for grabs for proving ANYTHING supernatural. I'll wait.
You have to align yourself with your will first.... Which requires you to know what your will is without restriction. The more you restrict the less you know what your will is. "Do what thou wilt".
Life is like music for its own sake. We are living in an eternal now, and when we listen to music we are not listening to the past, we are not listening to the future, we are listening to an expanded present. Life exists only at this very moment, and in this moment it is infinite and eternal, for the present moment is infinitely small; before we can measure it, it has gone, and yet it exists forever. The art of living... is neither careless drifting on the one hand nor fearful clinging to the past on the other. It consists in being sensitive to each moment, in regarding it as utterly new and unique, in having the mind open and wholly receptive. I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is...
@@andrewwilson9183 No. Technology thousands of years ahead of us may LOOK like magic to us, but only until we understand it. Unless it's technology that's completely outside our laws of physics, it's just technology. His quote still has nothing to do with this clip.
@@andrewwilson9183 That's a minority misperception of magic. Most so-called 'magic" on this earth usually has nothing to do with advanced tech, but rather spells, magicians, witchcraft, prophecy, etc. I believe this explains the pushback to the original comment. Either way, magic is imaginary, like religion.
is that so? let me ask you a question... you ever stood under the night sky while the stars spun around your head, and the earth dropped away at your feet, and you were there alone with the sudden realization that you were the center of the universe, and that all there is is God and nothing more? tell me more about intetion lol
Call it whatever you want. If you want something hard enough and convicted enough, your intentions and subconscious perceptions and projections will propell you that direction. Outlook is powerful when its not performative. Groups of people change reality because our reality is groups of people. The only purpose of labeling it magic is to promote a placebo effect to achieve that conplete commitment in belief.
Wisdom says that "Life is Magic" not just in the beautiful poetic sense, but in real poietic sense of creation. Magic is intentioned action, everyone that gets at the top is a "Magician". Every moment in our living can be magical, and that is why the mainstream knows how to distract human beings from that truth to avoid reflective people that dont but shit anymore.
"Science & Art" not "Art & Science" lilt is important here! Magick also occurs in 1.The Quantum observer effect in physics 2.Psi in Parapsychology 3.Mind-body interaction in dualism in philosophy 4.Synchronicity in the Analytical psychology of Jung 5.Psychosomatics in medicine
As someone who knows quite a bit about real magic, I will give you some prerequisite books which you can create connections with before pursuing higher magic: The Mind and The Brain, Irreducible Mind, Biocentrism, Shadows of the Mind, The Rinzai Zen Way, Initiation Into Hermetics, Journeys Out of the Body.
@@atashi1044 Yes, it is just as natural as the material world. The mind must be trained to realize the hidden parallel realms on top of the material one. Some people are born with that ability, but it takes most people a lot of training to realize it.
Magic is like jumping out of an airplane without a parachute. So the bad news is that you don't have parachute, but the good news is that you discover there is no ground. And then you're just endlessly falling and you never reach the ground. So in a sense, what i'm asking you to do is to jump. And you don't want to jump. You're saying, I'm scared. I'm too scared to jump. And I'm saying, jump. God is telling you, jump, jump into infinite love and it's going to be great. But you're like, what if I kill myself and what if something else happens? I don't know. You just jump into infinite love. Take the leap of faith and you'll discover infinite love. And you're too scared to do it. But then eventually when you do it, then you're just going to discover that there's no ground. You're endlessly falling forever and it's great. But yeah, taking that leap is really difficult. It requires you to face your death. So of course, everybody is too afraid to do it. People are just to scared.
@@JoJoRogain You know… once I had a dream. I was 13, but I dreamt I lived a whole other life. From birth to like 30/40. All in one dream. When I woke up, I couldn’t remember who or where I was until a few minutes afterward. Figured I’d mention it with how you worded your comment.
I am a magician. It is the first step in mastering the philosophers stone. A magician is one who can change anything into anything one wants; provided the rules are followed AND accepted. As above so below, As without so within. This gentlemen has a very limited understanding of the occult. I wish him a better a source of information and a better mind to seek this applicable knowledge.
Magic does exixt...but those who use it will never allow it to be revealed. There is ritual magic as well as physical magic. Interesting discussion, particularly regarding "energy"
It’s real it’s called witchcraft it’s an ancient science….. I dated a witch before I didn’t believe until she exposed me to it. The sub atomic world of energy does not work like our physical world of energy. Quantum physics proves that
@@CameronBrooks-rj1he the argument is that then it probably isn't in the hands of people like that. There probably are some kind of gatekeepers to see who is worthy.
I don't trust people who have to get all riled up to make something happen. All you need is to determine what you want and why it's important and then discover the best path forward. All logic, no emotion.
But you also gotta WANT it. It will increase your odds of success that much more if you can leverage your life force. It's like lanching a rocket into space. You need fuel
Pure intellectual logic without feeling emotion or spontaneous intuition is a calculator. Calculators don't think. They don't create. They process. And without a thinking feeling being capable of intuitive discernment is required to decide if the Calculator is right. Don't be a calculator.
Louv's book on John Dee is fantastic, filled with in-depth research. He doesn't just cover the historic facts about Dee but also traces Dee's magical influence through the centuries and to the modern day, making Louv's book something like a chronology of magick.
I've heard from a couple of different women decades apart about meeting someone who could read their minds and knew about every aspect of their lives. I reckon there are people with abilities far above the rest yet I believe they keep under the radar for their own good.
Inane answer to the question. Study history. The question does real magic exist is the same as do spirits and God exist? So that's where you should start.
Language, music, art, technology, etc. Theres plenty of magic, everything that consciousness uses to shape the collective consciousness is magic, the collective consciousness creates reality so having influence over it is literally having control over reality.
That's actually true btw lol ik you said it as a joke but magicians specifically witches do this lol weaponize the remainder and idiosyncratic aspects of reality to create change and confusion on multiple levels. So for example pooping in the street or licking ice creams in Walmart. Or farting everywhere hahaha.
When you focus your energy on something, that energy FEEDS something. Then, that SOMETHING changes reality. Going back to team vs team, whichever TEAM feeds that THING more, generally has the better outcome. But not always!
I’m going to give a more succinct definition of magic given by Socrates. I think it’s very valuable to think about the old worlds perceptions of this. Magic is an outside force that moves you within.
All social media is magic. It forces many people to focus on certain people and ideas. It uses binding magic to dictate actions in society. Even an influencer is a magician. They dictate the thoughts of many individuals.
in Argentina their was disbelief that Messi could win a World Cup and surpass Maradona, until Maradona left this world. And people started to believe that Messi now could do it... and he did it. We've witnessed some weird coincidences as football fans. Is that ...? what is that...
Have you heard about family stories when a newborn or any child is suspiciously similar to a dead relative, either in appearance or personality, but they couldn't be born only after the relative they resemble died? Same thing basically.
@@antalpoti A new born looks like a relative? Suspiciously? How suspicious is it that a baby looks like a relative? Ditto for personality. Whether the relative is alive or dead at the time is happenstance.
i've never heard the term that all roads lead to Aleister Crowley; however, a friend and I more or less came to the same conclusion, but in different words. very interesting stuff guys.
Magick is very real. And can be very simple and done alone or in large groups. No ritual required. Sometimes its as simple as saying a thought out loud. 93.
“Magick is the science and art of causing change (in consciousness) to occur in conformity with will, using means not currently understood by traditional Western science . . .” In this case “will” is understood not in terms of the individual’s petty wants and desires, but rather as an intention that is in harmony with the fundamental essence of the individual’s Higher Self, and also in full accord with natural or cosmic law.” -Donald Michael Kraig
On a very basic level, there is a ton of research and studies using random number generators showing that it is possible to influence the output using consciousness/mind/intent, etc.
that's not what Crowley talks about. he talks about True Will, which is Universal Will. Do What Thou Wilt means "Do What You Are Called to Do." Anything less than that is black magic, i.e. selfish magic, which indeed will lead you to sin
Yes, but not in the shooting fire balls out of your hand and levitating yourself with your mind type. It pertains to triggering synchronicities and it has a push, pull and neutralization.
There is a lot to be said and a lot to be thought about but one way to put it and one way to not put it would be to first start with the way to put it which is that in order to agree it would take one to not disagree, while the other way to put it is to state that one feels similarly aligned if you will, conclusion being that what you said is very true indeed and therefore agreed.
Or.. there is no such thing as magic and what is really going on is a sort of psychological priming. Taking part in ritual like behavior can serve as a form of mental preparation, helping people focus on a goal or outcome with greater clarity. By repeating specific actions or following a certain pattern, they create a sense of readiness and determination, which can improve their confidence and reduce anxiety about achieving the desired result.
Magic is unctrolable it can happen but he asks of it is equally bewildered by its outcome. That is the true outcome of my encounters, and is the genesis of aw!!!
Read up on Zuo Ci, a Chinese Daoist Magician. He was able to cook a dish by fishing an exotic fish out of a copper pan in front of a court assembly of officials.
The ability to manifest “ through thought feeling and spoken words. Yes “ however should only be done through the love of CHRIST “ that it won’t consume you.
Is it fair to say that anything that isn't comprehendible to the mind could be considered magic? Once you know how the trick is done it isn't magic anymore. Maybe it is possible to levitate without it being an illusion. We just aren't aware of how to manifest it yet.
I would add that magick actually alters individuals or group perception to process information that leads to desired outcome, if the outcome is possible. There are a lot of things happening around us and our brains can only process so much. magick helps us focus on the right data that's aligned with the outcome, this can lead to desired results. In my humble experience It is never impossible what can happen only less probable when using magick
Well i bend my reality. Manifesting is a delayed practice thats why most say it dont work but im 23 free from the matrix through spirituality you have power over your reality thats what god wanted you to have. But for most can quite accomplish it because of the ego or their stuck in a human mind set remember you are not the body you are what controls the body
Does Real Maguš Exist? Depends, how hard are you willing to look? Are you able to mentally withstand the consequences? Are you willing to put everything on the line to find out? For anything gained, something of equal value must be lost.

Most so-called 'magic" on this earth usually has nothing to do with advanced tech, but rather spells, magicians, witchcraft, prophecy, etc. I believe this explains the pushback to the original comment. Either way, magic is imaginary, like religion.
Intention is the root of magik and anyone that understands this concept will understand intention is everything in magik and spells and the like
is that so? let me ask you a question... you ever stood under the night sky while the stars spun around your head, and the earth dropped away at your feet, and you were there alone with the sudden realization that you were the center of the universe, and that all there is is God and nothing more? tell me more about intetion lol
Call it whatever you want.
If you want something hard enough and convicted enough, your intentions and subconscious perceptions and projections will propell you that direction. Outlook is powerful when its not performative.
Groups of people change reality because our reality is groups of people.
The only purpose of labeling it magic is to promote a placebo effect to achieve that conplete commitment in belief.
Good points, though some or most or all of what is called mag is [sometimes admittedly] done w/ help from dmns/entities.

Wisdom says that "Life is Magic" not just in the beautiful poetic sense, but in real poietic sense of creation.
Magic is intentioned action, everyone that gets at the top is a "Magician".
Every moment in our living can be magical, and that is why the mainstream knows how to distract human beings from that truth to avoid reflective people that dont but shit anymore.
Magic is absolutely real
"Science & Art" not "Art & Science" lilt is important here!
Magick also occurs in
1.The Quantum observer effect in physics
2.Psi in Parapsychology
3.Mind-body interaction in dualism in philosophy
4.Synchronicity in the Analytical psychology of Jung
5.Psychosomatics in medicine
As someone who knows quite a bit about real magic, I will give you some prerequisite books which you can create connections with before pursuing higher magic: The Mind and The Brain, Irreducible Mind, Biocentrism, Shadows of the Mind, The Rinzai Zen Way, Initiation Into Hermetics, Journeys Out of the Body.
do you recommend approaching magic
I must admit, decent selection of books.
@@atashi1044 Yes, it is just as natural as the material world. The mind must be trained to realize the hidden parallel realms on top of the material one. Some people are born with that ability, but it takes most people a lot of training to realize it.
@@ismann9148 are there any downsides that could potentially ruin your life
Magic is like jumping out of an airplane without a parachute.
So the bad news is that you don't have parachute, but the good news is that you discover there is no ground. And then you're just endlessly falling and you never reach the ground.
So in a sense, what i'm asking you to do is to jump. And you don't want to jump. You're saying, I'm scared. I'm too scared to jump. And I'm saying, jump. God is telling you, jump, jump into infinite love and it's going to be great. But you're like, what if I kill myself and what if something else happens? I don't know. You just jump into infinite love. Take the leap of faith and you'll discover infinite love. And you're too scared to do it. But then eventually when you do it, then you're just going to discover that there's no ground. You're endlessly falling forever and it's great. But yeah, taking that leap is really difficult. It requires you to face your death. So of course, everybody is too afraid to do it. People are just to scared.
Now make it make sense
Except you Will reach the ground, that's guaranteed......

Falling forever sounds fucking awful.
The pep rally analogy is brilliant. That mentality is everywhere.

Magic does exixt...but those who use it will never allow it to be revealed. There is ritual magic as well as physical magic. Interesting discussion, particularly regarding "energy"
I'm curious if that is something you believe or have actualy witnessed?
Where did you find that out?
It’s real it’s called witchcraft it’s an ancient science….. I dated a witch before I didn’t believe until she exposed me to it. The sub atomic world of energy does not work like our physical world of energy. Quantum physics proves that
"but those who use it will never allow it to be revealed" - I guarantee, if it did exists. there would be people who would be happy to reveal it.
@@CameronBrooks-rj1he the argument is that then it probably isn't in the hands of people like that. There probably are some kind of gatekeepers to see who is worthy.
I don't trust people who have to get all riled up to make something happen. All you need is to determine what you want and why it's important and then discover the best path forward. All logic, no emotion.
Ignoring your emotions when making decisions is not always a good idea
But you also gotta WANT it. It will increase your odds of success that much more if you can leverage your life force. It's like lanching a rocket into space. You need fuel
Pure intellectual logic without feeling emotion or spontaneous intuition is a calculator. Calculators don't think. They don't create. They process. And without a thinking feeling being capable of intuitive discernment is required to decide if the Calculator is right.
Don't be a calculator.

Would love to see Jason Louv on here to discuss Magick on a more technical level.
Louv's book on John Dee is fantastic, filled with in-depth research. He doesn't just cover the historic facts about Dee but also traces Dee's magical influence through the centuries and to the modern day, making Louv's book something like a chronology of magick.
Jason luv has a big magic stick
I've heard from a couple of different women decades apart about meeting someone who could read their minds and knew about every aspect of their lives. I reckon there are people with abilities far above the rest yet I believe they keep under the radar for their own good.
That's familiar spirits
No one is reading their mind
A demonic spirit who is FAMILIAR with you, is giving them info
Inane answer to the question. Study history. The question does real magic exist is the same as do spirits and God exist? So that's where you should start.
That makes the answer an easy no then.
Beeeeeeen believing this. I have have told people “If you don’t understand something sufficiently complex, it is MAGIC”
Mind over matter fr.
"in conformity with will"...not overpowering, bending, mastering...magic is about matching.
Kindness is magic. Truth is magic. Honesty is magic. Love is magic. Meanness, lying, hate is evil.
Magic is real. I've seen it mostly in Africa, specifically central and west Africa.

Language, music, art, technology, etc. Theres plenty of magic, everything that consciousness uses to shape the collective consciousness is magic, the collective consciousness creates reality so having influence over it is literally having control over reality.
“All roads lead to Crowley”
There is only one true path in life. The road that leads to ALL leads to ONE.
Farts are magic. They can make people disappear with very little effort.
That's actually true btw lol ik you said it as a joke but magicians specifically witches do this lol weaponize the remainder and idiosyncratic aspects of reality to create change and confusion on multiple levels. So for example pooping in the street or licking ice creams in Walmart. Or farting everywhere hahaha.
Jews asking if magic exists is like African asking if hunger exists 😂😂
When you focus your energy on something, that energy FEEDS something. Then, that SOMETHING changes reality. Going back to team vs team, whichever TEAM feeds that THING more, generally has the better outcome. But not always!
I agree, that’s not too dissimilar to prayer either…. Trying to bend reality to our suited outcomes through focused energy.
lex you should interview ryan cropper if you want deeper insight into this
I’m going to give a more succinct definition of magic given by Socrates. I think it’s very valuable to think about the old worlds perceptions of this. Magic is an outside force that moves you within.
All social media is magic. It forces many people to focus on certain people and ideas. It uses binding magic to dictate actions in society. Even an influencer is a magician. They dictate the thoughts of many individuals.
in Argentina their was disbelief that Messi could win a World Cup and surpass Maradona, until Maradona left this world. And people started to believe that Messi now could do it... and he did it. We've witnessed some weird coincidences as football fans. Is that ...? what is that...

Still a coincidence. In a system as complex as the visible physical universe, coincidences are bound to happen
@@antalpoti A new born looks like a relative? Suspiciously? How suspicious is it that a baby looks like a relative? Ditto for personality. Whether the relative is alive or dead at the time is happenstance.
I’ve watch a few of the clips with this guest. I’m fascinated that he can take such and interesting subject and bore me to death. It’s real magick.
Love this new channel
i've never heard the term that all roads lead to Aleister Crowley; however, a friend and I more or less came to the same conclusion, but in different words. very interesting stuff guys.
Magick is very real. And can be very simple and done alone or in large groups. No ritual required. Sometimes its as simple as saying a thought out loud. 93.
“Magick is the science and art of causing change (in consciousness) to occur in conformity with will, using means not currently understood by traditional Western science . . .” In this case “will” is understood not in terms of the individual’s petty wants and desires, but rather as an intention that is in harmony with the fundamental essence of the individual’s Higher Self, and also in full accord with natural or cosmic law.” -Donald Michael Kraig
On a very basic level, there is a ton of research and studies using random number generators showing that it is possible to influence the output using consciousness/mind/intent, etc.
Like where?

"self will is the root of all sin"
Kevin J Conner
that's not what Crowley talks about. he talks about True Will, which is Universal Will. Do What Thou Wilt means "Do What You Are Called to Do." Anything less than that is black magic, i.e. selfish magic, which indeed will lead you to sin

Any magic is evil.
@@olabashanda if so, then any act of imagination or will or creativity or art is evil
Not at all. Any outright rebellion against the known will of God, any idol someone serves in opposition to the Creator IS evil.
Yes, but not in the shooting fire balls out of your hand and levitating yourself with your mind type. It pertains to triggering synchronicities and it has a push, pull and neutralization.
Oh. Well fuck it then.

Richard Dreyfus knows a lot about magic
Magic is the substance on which our reality is constructed.
finally lex is getting it..
Imagination + Will = Magick
Magic is the universe, countless atoms bound together that provide us with reality.
Why aren't you interviewing Dean Radin on this topic?
Interesting thing is I had a very strong feeling Crowley would come up also and I'm sure I'm not the only one...
Lex, why don't you ask this question to someone who knows something about it. Magical Egypt series season 4 is about Magic.
I love discussion but this was a case of "say very little with many words"
There is a lot to be said and a lot to be thought about but one way to put it and one way to not put it would be to first start with the way to put it which is that in order to agree it would take one to not disagree, while the other way to put it is to state that one feels similarly aligned if you will, conclusion being that what you said is very true indeed and therefore agreed.
That’s academia in a nutshell. Many words means big brain!
Real magick is gatekept from the masses.
Making clouds disappear would be considered magickal?
Or.. there is no such thing as magic and what is really going on is a sort of psychological priming. Taking part in ritual like behavior can serve as a form of mental preparation, helping people focus on a goal or outcome with greater clarity. By repeating specific actions or following a certain pattern, they create a sense of readiness and determination, which can improve their confidence and reduce anxiety about achieving the desired result.
Our realm is an agreement.. our collective will.
Most magic is misdirection and theatrics. But some is real magic. Some things cannot be done without magic. It's not easy to spot, but I have.
It’s creating something from your thoughts to material physicality
Depends on how you define magic. Where is the line between skill mastery and actual magic?
Try interviewing someone like Rawn Clark who's dedicated his life (and written books about) Franz Bardon's Hermetics.

Read up on Zuo Ci, a Chinese Daoist Magician. He was able to cook a dish by fishing an exotic fish out of a copper pan in front of a court assembly of officials.
Yes! Exactly. Put into words very well indeed.
The ability to manifest “ through thought feeling and spoken words. Yes “ however should only be done through the love of CHRIST “ that it won’t consume you.
The fact that nobody talks about the forbidden book hidden laws of the game on borlest speaks volumes about how people are stuck in a trance
It’s all magick until electrons be moving different in public. I read this in a tome I had bought from the bookshoppe.
Alistair’s axioms of magik are pretty awesome.
I think the Bible speaks against any kind of magic that involves spiritism ie. Familiar spirits.
Is it fair to say that anything that isn't comprehendible to the mind could be considered magic? Once you know how the trick is done it isn't magic anymore. Maybe it is possible to levitate without it being an illusion. We just aren't aware of how to manifest it yet.
WE are magic, some just decided not to see 👁️ All magic lives within✨
Humans are intertwined in Magic rituals and Magic experiences... EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY.
I would add that magick actually alters individuals or group perception to process information that leads to desired outcome, if the outcome is possible. There are a lot of things happening around us and our brains can only process so much. magick helps us focus on the right data that's aligned with the outcome, this can lead to desired results. In my humble experience It is never impossible what can happen only less probable when using magick
To believe is to achieve
I guess you can do all that but at the end of the day there are way more other more important factors behind what will actually happen...
Everything is vibration and frequency, even intension.
The only question we need to ask about Crowley is did he ride a white horse?
(It's symbolic, of course.)
How can anything be magic then, if we would never really know the outcome of a thing without intention and will? We only presuppose scenarios.
Well i bend my reality. Manifesting is a delayed practice thats why most say it dont work but im 23 free from the matrix through spirituality you have power over your reality thats what god wanted you to have. But for most can quite accomplish it because of the ego or their stuck in a human mind set remember you are not the body you are what controls the body
god is with us
Magic is another word for math.
Religion is another word for science.
Everything follows laws. Nothing is exempt from rules.
Retrocausality could be a form of magick.
“Real magic” is Effect Without Causation.
Does Real Maguš Exist?
Depends, how hard are you willing to look?
Are you able to mentally withstand the consequences?
Are you willing to put everything on the line to find out?
For anything gained, something of equal value must be lost.
