Beliefs Concerning High Magick or the Energy of the Universe
Energy. Its all about energy. All matter is made up of condensed energy. What if there is also an energy that ties everyone together. Call it Dark matter, the astral plane or whatever you want. I will call it the astral or energy field for my own ease. When I perform a magick spell I am tapping into that energy field. I touch my mind on the fabric of the universe in order to nudge it towards my desires.
The basic idea behind any magick ritual is to open the mind to this energy. To expand ones awareness and connect with the energy that binds everything in existence. This is not easy, we are condensed energy, but we do not connect with flowing energy well. If you have ever been shocked by electricity, you now waht i mean. The trick is in thinking as a consciousness, not as a physical being. To let ones thoughts become energy themselves. Then to expel that energy out into the astral.
Once your “spell” is cast into the energy field, the idea is for it to affect probabilities and chance, in your favor. It does this by the quickest and most direct manner. The hard part is adapting your mind to this kind of expansion. To produce and cast out enough energy to get the results you want. This can be hard for some, easy for others and near impossible for others. It is not easy to set aside the mundane world we experience constantly and project ourselves as beings of energy.
Yet some do this without intending to. Identical twins that feel each others pain without ever meeting, the hallucinogenic drug users that feel one with the universe even if only briefly, the “psychic” that picks up on things they couldnt possibly know about. I believe these are all examples of people connecting with the energy field. It is also my belief that this is where ghosts dwell. These are people with strong enough energy and will, or sorrow to remain cohesive elements within the energy. Perhaps all dead creatures are there, the energy of their life and death forever infused with their essence.
I believe this is why its mainly when you are at peace and relaxed you see and experience them. The mind lets its guard down and the energy field becomes closer. The departed energy essences (spirits), thus become easier to stumble across. Thats why they disappear so quickly; they havent left, your mind snapped “back to reality” and slammed down its barriers again. This is why; I believe, sceptics never experience anything. They are trying, either to or not to have an experience. In trying they become incapable. If you watch Ghost Hunters you know they dont go into a location trying, they go in open minded. Huge difference.
I assembled my notions from many sources: Here are a couple of odd ones.
Yoda provided some interesting dialogue that helped put it into words for me.
“Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship.”
and
“Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force.”
From a movie or not there is some deep wisdom in these words.
Reading about Hallucinogenic trips. In this case it was the consistent feeling of oneness with the universe and a notion of cosmic awareness many users experience. Some might say its just a common effect of the drug. I think it is, but in a deeper way than you think. I think the drug is pulling down the barriers of reality and allowing the mind to see the universe as it really is, energy. The experience of senses being spliced, such as tasting a color and seeing sound. What if this in not merely the drug miswiring the brain. What if the drug really is expanding your mind to attune to additional layers of the energy field.
Energy never dies, it only changes.
By conducting magick rituals I am not just trying to make stuff happen, I am trying to connect with the very fabric of time and space. I have touched it, minutely. I have experienced it in dreams and felt its touch in the dark. Yet only briefly. It is a life long pursuit to become one with the astral before death. Through this pursuit I have experienced some strange, sometimes frightening but ultimately wonderful things. It is a rich and fulfilling pursuit.
Albert Einstein
“A human being is a part of a whole, called by us ‘universe’, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest… a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
“That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”
“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”
I seek to set aside the illusion.
