Secrets of Mind and Reality - MindReality.com

Magick is energy control. It is a proven fact that the raising of power is necessary and the resultant sudden gnosis state in release, achieved in any way, actually works and was further developed and researched by nearly all ancient and modern magicians and shamans. Naturally, a magician has to be able to have many other methods of achieving gnosis at their command and the development of many other techniques to attain and control the “pent up” and potential power when whatever forms are utilized.

All magic is done using the subconscious mind. The conscious mind directs the subconscious mind with magical instructions. Therefore, the subconscious mind must have the magical “intent” implanted in it somehow, so that it can “unconsciously” manipulate “aetheric” information to bring about the desired result. Impressing the magical intent onto the subconscious mind requires enough force and a specific state of mind for it to happen, energetically altering the subconscious mind to alter reality.

Because of the very nature of Magick, each working should be highly individualized and personal. Even if following a traditional spell, it should be tailored to your specific needs to be most effective for you. Understanding the basics of Spell Construction will enable you to formulate your own specific, effective spells for any purpose you desire. To spell means to name or to order. When you create your reality by naming or ordering it through intention, you are casting a spell. It is you that forms the magic.

It is important that you have no distractions. Generally speaking, it is best to work as late at night as possible. A time when there is less frantic energy is most appropriate. You might consider Midnight or later. The reason why magicians work at night is because the energies are calmer and quieter. One of the aspects of energy manipulation is that you need a clear vibration or clear signal. Your mind must be free to concentrate singlemindedly on the working. This clarity gives power to your intent.

The Cone of Power is one of the methods of working magic, and refers to a technique for focusing energy within a magickal circle. The circle acts as both lens and container for the energy of an individual or group, creating a “cone” shape before being released for particular purpose. It doesn’t matter how this power is achieved, using bodily movement, breathing, chanting, sex, or a mixture of them all, along with sigils as well, just as long as the Cone of Power is achieved and powerfully is it made to be!

The question is why a cone? The cone is the shape of energy perceived by those sensitive to the energy currents. The energy forms as a circle at the base around you and merges into a point above you. The basic energy is that of the human body, increased tremendously and extremely powerfully and then suddenly released and channeled in accordance with Will. You’re raising your bodily emotional energetic power and then suddenly directing it at will. Magick is intentional emotional out-bursting.

The release is the trickiest part of raising the cone, requiring a sense of timing and an awareness of the level of energies. The “drop” or release is called when the energy peaks, and before it falls back. Remember that energy follows the principle of rhythm and it rises and falls. You cannot release your energy at anytime most effectively. The energy must be built up to a certain intensity. In the magickal ritual, you are consciously manipulating the energy and knowing its intensities in the moment. It is like martial arts. You manipulate it to a point to release it.

The altered state of consciousness is the state of power as there is a mental shift towards a peak. This gnosis is also called “Raising Power” and is achieved in many different ways, some better than others. When a magickal ritual is performed, regardless of “tradition” or other variables in the elements of performance, a powerful magical energy is created and put into motion to cause something to happen. Energy is actually directed out from you and goes on to do its own work. Magick is creating change.

Naturally, a magician has to be able to have many other methods of achieving gnosis and raising power at their command and the development of many other techniques to attain and control the “pent up” and potential power when whatever forms are utilized. This energy is compacted energy. You’re basically focusing and compressing the energy to influence this density of reality. Magick is about giving weight to a matter. Things that are taken lightly don’t happen much. Success is created by great energy.

The mechanics of the procedure might consist of the different acts: Center (at balance point of energy in body), Ground (to object or to the earth at the center of the physical space you are whirling around), Increase energy within your body, Focus (on purpose of work), Direct (to place of sending, setting up resonance), Release (at peak of cone), Ground (residual energy), Center (re-establish personal balance). It starts with being calm, then getting into a frenzy, moving much and then calming again.

Magic, Martial Arts and Dance are very much connected. They create geometric movements in space. This is especially so with the circular movements of Tai Chi. Look for movements that align your mind with the movement. Tai Chi is where your action changes from form into another in a smooth unbroken flow. Such movements train your mind in the manipulation of energy. Magic is the manipulation of energy to affect reality. Manipulation of energy requires imagination, feeling and action. Each person’s magic is personal. You must make use of the universal movements of Tai Chi to create your own Tai Chi.
