Consider looking into the true qabbalah for the truth about magick words and magickal utterance - it's not as simple as just saying words. However, hard work and years of dedication really do pay off... there is no truly instant path to magick.

uhhh..... yeah. well obviously there is no instant path... that much i agree with. i just dont like your take on "truth". i believe everything to be at the same time false and entirely true. to the individual mind, whatever they happen to genuinely believe is entirely true. in a world of multiple individuals there is no truth. unless you genuinely believe there is... anywho, in a world of multiple viewpoints ideas are verified by other entities.we communicate. we confirm. but what exactly are we confirming? we are merely stating that our view of the universe aligns with theirs. if bob and tom stand on either side of jim, they would agree that the person they both see is definitely jim. they both see different sides of jim, but their views can be compared and found similar enough to say its that person.
anywho, the "truth" is, while maybe not indeterminable, rather difficult to see. i think i may see the truth in seeing this "truth" about the "truth". but maybe im wrong. i mean how can i, a single unwitting being amidst an existence of eternal and unbounded life, know more than my own perspective? to genuinely know is... questionable.
so if ones view is incomplete, how can one possibly KNOW the "truth"?
