What Do You Think The Purpose Of Magick Is? Options

I guess I came to Magick trying to find Gnosis, enlightenment, as well as daily peace and meaning. I have practiced and studied several spiritual paths, and found this one to be quite right for me. However, have been having doubts lately as to whether these goals can be attained through the Western Mystical Tradition. I am wondering if anyone practicing Thelema or Golden Dawn or any other Western Mystical path has attained anything akin to samadhi, or enlightenment, or if it's all just a sham.

I acknowledge that using these rituals and overall philosophy can induce brain change. I know my brain has changed since I started. Yet what is the end result? I read books by Crowley and Regardie, yet what was the result of their Work?

I just wanted to know what other people think. Does anybody else have any thoughts?

To know ourselves and the world, and to change ourselves so that we might change the world.

I like that a lot, also I happen to believe that the proper aim of magick, in my world view, is to allow us to become enlightened through, as Crowley put it, conversation of your HGA. Magick itself is a tool, it has no true calling toward good or evil, the intent of the worker is what gives it a spin, and it can be used to make life easier. I feel that magick is very much a part of us and to not use it is almost an insult to the universe. At the same time, I believe that working to gain the knowledge and wisdom that comes with it should be part of the main goal, which would help you to become a more enlightened person.
