Remember in magic ... no two magicians realities will be the same. What we perceive in our own unique reality is how the world around us reacts to our own consciousness and to our own 'magic'. Thus the resultant outcome of any working will always be different to each and every one of us.

What is perceived as fair, right, necessary, mandatory, unimportant for one magician may be so in his or her reality but it doesn't necessarily follow it will apply the same to another magician.

The only common/same/recurring variable between two magicians in everything is the visual reality which we all reside in ... the reality we call planet earth/the earth plane ... the interface which all human consciousness is connected to. The interface which has the visual and sensory appearance of being the same to all who are connected to it.

However, two magicians could evoke the SAME entity in exactly the SAME way; using the SAME ritual with the SAME tools;using the same evocations/banishings/invocations/whatever ... speaking the words exactly the same ... connecting with the same entity and asking the same thing of the entity ....

But the results can be totally different .... and often are.

Thus, all rituals/spells/whatever could best be described as guidelines only ... outcomes could best be deemed as being unpredictable. We can only anticipate/expect a desired finale ... but we should be prepared for anything happening ...

That is the true 'magic' of experience.

Then when you have a result and it is written in a journal you would be foolish to expect the exact same outcome the next time .... applying the same principle it is likely the unexpected will call at the door again.

Hey! This life is just a dream. As in any dream the sleeper can assume control. Magic is gaining that control and using that awakening to full advantage

Married for life, to my devoted wife, who I have neglected recently but will do no more..........

the Joyful sadness happens when you start examining the joy, when you stop just enjoying it, when you question it and reject it.
The joy can be mind blowing at times, i have felt it too, and it ishard to deal with it.

Yesterday i was sitting in my room feeling like that. I have a huge cold, my sinusses where hurting, my head was banging.
I had foolishly tasted from some wine i was brewing, only 4 days after introducing the yeast. Thus that yeast bacteria was having fun inside me.
To top that of, i was so happy, undescribable happy, it was mind blowing. Yet it was ironic, since i was hurting all over my body. And i had to laugh at all of it.

The happynes is fun but also painfull, it is wrong to attach to it, wrong to desire it, wrong to question it.

Overthinking is never a good thing.
You do not have to be a hermit, you have to be a hermit of the mind. Blank the mind in meditation, if you do not think about problems, then these things will not exist for you. Deal with them as they stand before you, forget them completely otherwise. Forget them even when dealing with them, just act on them, do not think about them.
Wheter you hide from problems like a hermit, or you don't care about these problems and forget about them. The end result is the same, they do not longer dictate your life. Things you don't think about do not exist.

I once experienced that joy while making a french test i knew i was going to fail. I was sitting there, doing the best i could with the knowledge that i could never pass it. The joy lasted the rest of the day, and to a lesser extent the rest of the week. But at that moment it had its peak.

I was sober at all these experiences, i didn't take any medications or drugs. Not even while sick.

I believe that this experience of love and joy goes togheter with the act of letting go. these steps i have noticed.
  • First i let go of all my worries and problems, realy breathe out and release the stress.
  • Then i just see the world as if it where a play and i wasn't part of it, not even part of my body.
  • Then i start feeling giddy, almost like high on hash, but more divine, higher.
  • Then the joy starts, so much joy, and when you take a walk in the forest when the sun is shining at that point, wow.
Everything is so beautifull then, everything is, there are no words to desrcibe it. its like the love for a loved one, and that love, multiplied by a million.

When i first started experiencing thase things I thought i was going insane. But these days i just enjoy the ride while it lasts.



I believe each mage is unique in his experience of the world, unique in many ways.
but each individual is the same in many problems, visions, thoughts, desires.
The experience of this joy feeling is one where we are all the same. Everyone can experience it.
But some people never will, because they are just not interested in the spiritual life, that shows the uniqueness of each individual.
On many points we are unique, and on many points whe are exactly the same. So both statements are true.
