I'm glad to expand on what I meant. I mean comprehension in all things. Energy, tools you might choose to use - their symbolism/purpose/WHY you need them, comprehension of every magical act - why you are doing it and how and why it works.
Let me give you a few examples. I know of an individual who does the LBRP, but in discussion it appears that they can't explain the purpose of it, what it does, the symbolism of each stage, and HOW and why it works. Now that is an extreme.
Another example is an individual on another message board who wants to create a spell. They know exactly what they want to manifest - their intent is VERY clear. They know exactly what to do and use and why those particular tools/ingredients are necessary for them and their purpose. However they aren't exactly sure HOW it is going to manifest, if at all. The knowledge is there, but that full comprehension isn't.
Understanding in my view, ensures confidence and inspiration and effectiveness. Even down to something seemingly simple, like knowing how the way I present myself to you in this post is important - understanding how my choice of wording and examples is going to give you a particular impression of me, whether you are going to like communicating with me, ask me more detailed questions etc.
I hope that makes sense - it's been a while since I've been a newbie anywhere. (IMG:
