I'm not downgrading any other forms of magick, simply inquiring as to their purpose in life in comparison to meditation. I understand different aspects of magick, different wills and goals lead to different things and through different means however the end result is still the same and can be achieved through meditation alone. Or so I've been led to believe. Especially considering that meditation is a common part of most magickal practice, what makes the all powerful method of enhancing oneself to become yet another tool for the practicing magician? Again, I'm just curious and it's a question that's been on my mind. Something like, "Why do all this, if you can just do this and ultimately get the same results?"
Magick is affecting a change through the use of focused will , intention and energies . Here is a suggested continuum ;
Meditation can help us
* clear the mind and to focus intent .
* attain altered states of consciousness and to trance .
* project from the body and work shamynically .
* evocation
* focus healing on person , place or situation
* banish
* exorcise
* affect energy constructs
* control hermetic energies
* develop clairvoyance and clairaudience
* attain realms at will , learning from spirit teachers ie GA/HS or Mahatma
* transmute negative ego
* ascend to higher nature of soul
* attain Kether
* commune with source
* manifest future
But Meditation is only the scaffolding , it is a framework and a tool but it is not enough on its own . It is the study of Magick and the manipulation of will , intention , thought and energies that affords a change . Meditation on its own can even be useless to affect change .
For example a continuum of meditation may include these stages ;
+ failed attempt due to an inability to sit still and be quiet for 5 minutes
+ no visions but a feeling of reduced stress inability to sit up to 10 minutes
+ no visions due to an inability to draw in to deep cleanse the energy body with fresh pranic intake so that brow centre remains inactive , but a feeling of peace when sitting for 20 minutes
+ monochrome gray and white infrequent single images that seem unrelated and hard to interpret inability to sit beyond 20 minutes
+ diverse imagery on monochrome indigo screens lacking interpretation
+ ability to recall and interpret prognosticative dreams
+ streaming monochrome indigo images which can be interpreted as a single message
+ draw in or expel white light energy at will ie to attain trance or heal
+ streaming full coloured images which can be interpreted in multiple messages
+ ability to affect magick within trance begins
+ see auras and some spirit whom appear spontaneously to magician
+ ability to see within dreamstate projections with recall of realms attained
+ ability to draw in and expel energy to heal
+ ability to recall and interpret messages within dreamstate
+ evoke , and see visions to attain messages from HS/GA et al
+ project from body at will during trance to desired locations
+ draw in or expel elemental energies ,at will
+ form constructs such as a pillar, vortex or portal within trance
+ project from body at will to desired location
+ attain trance at will ,tuning in anywhere and anytime despite distractions
+ transmute negative ego
+ exorcise negative energies
+ evoke ,see visions and hear messages from HS/GA et al
+ manifest
+ et cetera
