Theoretical Magick
Disclaimer:This is not a nursing session. You will not be told how to implement these ideas. The information provided here are tools. Tools have applications both obvious, expanded, natural, supernatural and apply to all dynamics of body, mind, and spirit as internal knowledge and applications to the greater world around. The aim here is not to give the knowledge as, without right understanding, any tool is dangerous.
"This is a hammer. This is how it works.
Now go, build. There is no room for you or your misuse of this hammer in the building of my house."
-- Felix Magnus
"MAGIC is the divinity of man conquered by science in union with faith; the true Magi are Men-Gods, in virtue of their intimate union with the divine principle. They are without fear and without desires; they are dominated by no falsehood; they share no error; they love without illusion and suffer without impatience, for they leave all to happen as it may, and repose in the quietude of the eternal thought. They lean upon religion, but religion does not weigh on them; religion is the Sphynx which obeys, but never devours them. They know what religion is, and they feel that it is necessary and eternal."
--�liphas L�vi
Natural magick is what I call a certain hidden knowledge of the secrets of nature, by which, when one has recognized the nature, properties, concealed powers, sympathies, and antipathies of individual things, one can produce certain effects which appear strange or even miraculous to those who are uninformed of their causes.
Magick is the art of effecting changes in consciousness at will.
The work of magick involves transformation and the first transformation is the shift in perception.
Theory of Me
The master challenged the student.
Master: I know who you want to be.
Student: Who Master. Who do I want to be?
Master: You want to be Me.
Student: Is this not arrogance Master?
Master: Let me ask you Student, who do you want to be?
Student: I want to be Me.
Master: But you, Student, are not Me. If you are not Me, then who indeed may you be?
Theory of Colour
Master: See here, Student, this flower. What colour is this flower?
Student: Red, Master, the colour is red.
Master: You are mistaken Student.
Student: No, Master, the colour is red.
Master: Do you enjoy mushrooms?
Student: No Master. Mushrooms make me sick.
Master: Yet, I enjoy mushrooms. Is it the taste?
Student: Yes Master. I do not share your taste for mushrooms.
Master: And yet, you say to me this is red. Do we not both use the same tounge?
Student: Yes Master, we use the same tounge.
Master: Then it is also true that we use the same eyes to see this flower.
Student:I agree. We use the same tounge to taste; the same eyes to see.
Master: How do you know it is a red flower and not a green flower?
Student: It was what was taught to me as a child. This colour is red. That, green, this, black.
Master: No Student. That is what it is. Now tell me. What is beauty and what is ugly?
Theory of Tao Qualities
The Master and the Student are walking a path that leads them through a Garden.
Student: Look Master! Is that not the most beautiful flower you have ever seen?
Master: It is a flower yes. You think it is greater than every other flower yet it is the same.
Student: Smell Master! Can you not smell that it is more fragrent than any other?
Master: I feel the Garden and it is pleasant to the senses.
Student: I must have this flower as it is truely the greatest of all its kind!
The Student picks the flower and the two continue on their way.
After some time has passed the Master speaks.
Master: Look now student. Is this flower still the prize? Compare it to any other here.
Student: No Master. The flower is wilting. It is dying.
Master: Now where is its beauty? Is it no longer at its source?
Student: The beauty remains in the eye Master.
Master: And yet, student, the eye is emptied of its beauty and there shall never be
another as this dead weed.
Because thoughts are a form of energy, like light, then according to what Dr. Julius Robert von Mayer called in 1842 "The Law of the Conservation of Energy", they can never be lost.
There is a natural order and all things must obey its secrets just as the farmer may redirect the water but none-the-less the water flows according to its own nature.
