What goes up must come down.
So you figured out some clever sigil and you did your thing to charge it, yadda yadda. You sit back and wait for it all to come down. Wow! Success! I got this cool thing I was after!
There was a pretty ‘unique’ persona who believed that the key to all workings is a point of connection in the ‘material’ world. I posit that most magick-type personas tend to speak in code. Ergo, there’s more to the story. Concordantly, other ’systems’ by other personae tend to expound upon this hypothesis.
Whoa, dude.
Ok, let’s backtrack. First principle: Simplicity. Why does anyone need to do ‘magick’ when this whole ‘thing’ is nothing but a big joke? Because we believe in the reality of duality. ”Not me,” you say. But who is this “me” you speak of? Yeah, you’re tired of me harping on this. I’m not being an asshole accidentally. This shit has to come out somehow.
Don’t feel guilty about it. I’m not trying to bring you down, at least not in the mundane sense. It’s simple – to have duality, we gotta believe in it. At least that’s what those quantum Doppelgänger-bangers tell us, in so many thousands of words. Belief makes universes, and yours is yours, if you get my drift.
So, what does this have to do with that unlicensed magical operation you were planning?
Take a lesson from the L337 H4×0r in you: It is better to pwn the system before you run your scripts, kiddies. Why? Because you created the duality in the first place. You are the OS and the script. The cheese and the sandwich. The frank and the beans.
Hear me now and believe me later: The key to this thing is that ‘point of connection’. Connection – kind of like wires being plugged in, but more like a fulcrum. Picture a teeter-totter. Picture you on the down side, the universe on the other side, and this little ‘operation’ trying to hold the whole thing up. Oh, you were thinking the universe was in the middle and this ‘ego script’ would lift you off the ground?
How much do you weigh?
A wise, but broke, judo instructor once told me: ”You must cooperate with your opponent”. Ok, he didn’t say that. But he would have if he knew what he was teaching. Provoke the opponent by telling him that his mother has a wooden leg with a kickstand. He runs at you, you use your body script to fling him into that pile of garbage you envisioned him landing on. Or, you just ‘let it all happen’, knowing yourself in a deep way – and no one gets hurt.
Ok, let me try this again:
What if you are both people on the playground toy? Well, this whole ‘point of contact’ thing is the dance between / within your dualistic, schizophrenic world. Ego script? ”Gimme something, I don’t care how. Screw the other guy!” But you’re the other guy! Why not just switch your perspective, find out what’s going to go down, and then ‘judo’ it with your operation? Do you think any decent surfer tries to make the wave change direction?
Dude!
So what about this whole black magick / white magick thing? Well, just imagine punching someone out in a dream and waking up with a black eye. That just might teach you some empathy.
There’s a great little piece of graffiti carved in some podunk little temple in an old Mediterranean country: Know Thyself. I don’t know, just sounds pretty cool, I guess. Especially if you re-member who you are, and not who your split-self is being. You think I set out to write this half-assed mindfuck of a rant this morning? No, it was you!
You made me do it!
