Found it! Its far from complete and I wrote it a while back, but I can revise it.
In my opinion, not to say that it is fact, just my take on the subject; Entities/spirits/daemons etc are not separate anthropomorphic beings, that exist outside and independent of us. They are however, aspects of the collective human subconscious and resided in the depths of the human mind. These entities exist in the quantum foam that permeates all reality and human consciousness and have the ability to use the human mind as a gateway. These Gateways are located in different areas of the human brain and each entity has its own 'sphere' of power. All these spheres/sub-realities (or astral planes etc) make up the subconscious mind of the human and different areas can be activated while in a magical situation such as invocation. Without the human mind to act as a prism or focal point the entities themselves would not be able to have any formal existence, and would just be random chaos in the subatomic void; it is humans that have given birth to them over the aeons and ascribed these areas of our subconscious with names of power. When these entities gain enough 'belief power' or psychic focus, they can cross the line form being random chaotic force to being an egregore or even eventually a God Form. However, without the human element in the equation, there would be no Gods or spirits. Unlike other animals, insects, fish etc humans have higher cognitive functions and creativity which allows them to shape or discover these spheres where their potential Gods lurk. We can discipline our minds and to a degree, manipulate the quantum world around us which allows for the existence of these 'other worldly' entities. As the quantum world has a very random nature and does not ascribe to our consensus reality it allows for 'strange things' to happen. When enough force/focus/gnosis is applied to the quantum world it is possible for events to take place in our reality that would otherwise seem impossible. It is possible that one day you will be able to put your hand right through a wall or accidentally appear seven miles away, or change an omelet into an egg, as even though the chances of theses things happening are infinitesimally small, they still have a chance of happening. Which means, given enough time, anything could happen. When a human mind effects the quantum world, it becomes possible for these 'strange things' to actually take place in accordance to the will of the magician. So there you go, this is my view of how magic works. I would like people to pick at it and criticize anything you don’t agree with or anything that you think is wrong as I am still formulating my ideas and would love some constructive criticism.
Alarum.
