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"?

In my statement I made no discussion on the nature of truth itself. This discussion regards specifically the use of magical words, and so I spoke what I understand regarding that practice. And while the True Qabbalah, as a subject with a name (whether it is the 'truth' or not, this is the name used as reference in order to find material regarding it), largely discussed in the western tradition by Franz Bardon (by no means the inventor of this science), is not the exclusive method of learning the science of magical utterance, that is, magical words, it is a readily available text for those in this part of the world who have no private adept to teach them. It is decidedly more difficult to learn from a book, being a matter of spoken words.

As to the truth of the nature of magical utterance, unless you have another tradition in which magical words are simpler, and can express the basics of that tradition here, are you in a position to refute the nature of that truth?

As a momentary deviation from the topic at hand, consider this: if two people understand two different 'truths' relating to one thing, be it an idea, place, etc., then perhaps one of them is wrong. Believing in something might make it 'true' to you, but it does not make it universal, or applicable, and through experimentation one can even prove that 'truth' wrong for themselves. Most simply choose not to experiment and learn the validity of that truth. The scientific method is not just for the classical 'sciences'. If you believe something to be true when you have not tested it, then you are a fool. (the general "you", not you specifically.)

Similarly, if one person says that something is true on a particular matter, and you have no experience with that matter, how are you to know that what they say is true or not? How are you to form any sense of truth, if you do not have your own 'truth' to put on the table in opposition?

The 'true' nature of 'truth' is ultimately unspeakable, unthinkable, and can only be known in the silence of both the mind and the mouth. There is, ultimately, only one truth to be known. You may not yet believe it, and for me to say it may seem an act of arrogance. For long years I resisted the ancient traditions and the 'truths' that they proposed, believing that 'ancient' equated 'outdated'. However, if the thousands of adepts, ancient wise men, gurus, and religious and spiritual icons have all repeated this same thing - that there is ultimately only one original truth (not that, there is one way to view the world, but that as a thing, there is only one Truth, and all else is illusion), then who are we to believe ourselves so advanced, so fully grown and aware, that we know better than they? When their entire existence was ultimately committed to helping us realize experientially that same ultimate silent truth?

So, the use of magical utterance, according to any tradition based on the same principles (and with some long, hard research akin to the kind that I have done over the course of my magical career, you will find the same thing), may in itself be an illusion - that there is any change, any movement outside of the original movement, that divine current which creates, sustains and ultimately destroys all of creation, is itself a grand illusion. However, that does not change the fact that at the physical level, as a physical being, without the ascension that comes with completing this physical stage of the Great Work, there are basic laws and principles governing magical utterance which according to all cultures with a tradition regarding this act are similar if not the same. And that, as physical beings at this stage of development, we must then apply those laws and principles in order to speak magical words properly, in order to bring about magical effect.

If you can prove otherwise - and I, and many others, have proven this again and again to ourselves and one another - then please do so. If not, then you are not in a position to refute my position on the truth of this subject and it's application.

are you really going to get so hot on me for stating my opinion? i never said you were wrong. as a matter of fact i said i was unwitting and couldn't possibly know anything about the truth, and stated my simple opinion on truth. i cannot make that any clearer. i was merely talking about truth, and was not disputing your beliefs. i even said that if a person believes in something then it is truth. and you did strike on something in your little speech. i was talking about viewpoints right? well i said with one individual what they believe is true. that is logical.if there is nobody else to state otherwise, then yes. what they say goes. and now for what you struck on. about a good lot of people and how they cant be wrong? i believe also that multiple people can, when they verify with each other, make truth refined. things become clearer. with multiple viewpoints, things are seen better. i was merely putting emphasis on the individual mind. and how did you get me saying you were wrong out of that anyway? also on "Similarly, if one person says that something is true on a particular matter, and you have no experience with that matter, how are you to know that what they say is true or not? How are you to form any sense of truth, if you do not have your own 'truth' to put on the table in opposition?" well... dont you believe in intuition? what about the akashic records? the great subconscious that connects all people? clairvoyancy?how about gut instinct? come now. dont tell me if someone spouts something off about something i dont know about i cant at least go "wait... that doesn't sound right." dont you ever get those intuitive feelings?
