Secrets of Mind and Reality - MindReality.com

Magick is defined as creating change in your reality with the power of your will. You intend something to happen, and it occurs. The practitioner’s ability to sense and manipulate energy and his or her connection to the divine are the greatest tools of all. Everything you do is magic. Your every thought, word and deed is magical in making your reality. Magicians are simply people who are conscious of their creations. Your best creations happen when they are in accordance with your higher self or the divine.

Spells involve will, intent, a light meditative state, and quick visualization. Manifestation comes from deeper regions of consciousness and a light meditative state allows you to access those regions. A quick visualization also enables you to move quickly into the alternate realm of possibility and create your reality there, and to leave before you interfere with it. This is the process of intending and then letting go. Believe in the possibility of what you intend to do, hold it strongly in your mind, and it will happen.

The three basic components of a spell are altering consciousness, focusing will and directing energy. These three components are integral aspects of all magickal work and without any of these three being done properly, magick would not work. All of reality is a consciousness and energy construct. The twin aspects of all awareness are thought and feeling. They are the masculine and feminine polarities of all creation. Nothing is created without the two. When they are in alignment, anything can be made.

When we change our mindset, our relationship to the inner and outer worlds, we find that place within our consciousness, that inner still point where the mind is clear and focused, in alignment with our will, and our magick is most effective. That inner still point is the foundation of magick. It is the deeper regions of consciousness. It is the place where you get in touch with yourself. It is the deeper feeling, the right brain. It bypasses the normal mind or the left brain. It is still, quiet and silent, the place of rest.

When we work magick, we find our true will by examining what is supported and what is not. By noting the spells that work best, we find experiences that support our higher will. If a spell doesn’t work, we also have to consider our technique and spellcraft before assuming it wasn’t for our highest good. There is a science behind magick, and if we choose to work with tools that conflict with our intention, then our spell would fail. Magick is an experiential thing where you find out how God wants you to work.

You may question that if we are supported by divine will, what take action? Divine will has a pattern, but we have free choice as to how we will manifest that pattern. Divine will supports us, but through magick, we invite it into our lives. We become active, not passive, partners in its manifestation. We create our reality with it. To fully express our divine will, we need to be conscious participants in our reality, with clear intentions. Magick is the act of creating your world consciously in accordance with divine will.

The highest aspect of magick is merging your personal will which is what you want, with your divine will which is your life’s purpose. Magick is a spiritual partnership, a cooperative effort with the divine. In every moment, seek to know what your life’s purpose is and let everything you do be in alignment with it. The main reason why you are here is not only to experience creating your reality, but to create it according to a plan set by your higher self. It is the design that brings glory and honor to the divine one.

Energy direction allows you to gather the necessary energies and launch them into the universe to manifest your will. Movement, postures and dance are all effective ways to both alter consciousness and work with energy. Your physical motions symbolically move things in the mental realms according to the principle of correspondence. As above so below, as below so above. Do it with feeling and blast your desires forth into the ethereal realms. You are bending probabilities and moving mountains with mind.

A key factor in successful spell casting is learning to let go of your thoughtform, thereby letting go of your intention. You call it back by thinking about it, worrying about it, or getting upset about it. You drain its energy, taking back its power bit by bit, until it has none to fulfill your intention. Trust that it’s working. Just declare what you wish manifested and then let go of it and live through your day and enjoying the moment. You’re not here just to create, but you’re also here to live life. To live is to be grounded.

Magick spells aren’t scientific formulas that work for everyone in the same manner at all times. It takes a personal connection to the forces of the universe to make magick work. You could try a spell, focusing on one aspect, one paradigm, and discover it doesn’t work for you. You could then try the same spell using a different technique, and get a successful result. You will then have discovered one aspect of magick that works for you, and one aspect that doesn’t. This will then help all your future spellcrafting.

It is easy to think of our true successes as just coincidences. But when we intend something to happen, when we will it to happen, we are doing magick. If you persevere on the magickal path, open to the experience, you will soon realize that you are consistently “beating” the odds and going beyond what could be attributed to chance, luck, or coincidence. Then you will begin to truly understand how magick works in life, and how much personal empowerment it gives, as well as how much responsibility.[/hidepost]
