How Does Magick Work?

Magick doesn't work on a single level. It is an unknowable thing that operates at all stages of existence, reality, development; in short underlies all stages or levels conceivable and inconceivable soever.

As demonstrated by Qabalah, the only way to get at a realization (deep personal "awakening" or experience) of something that is simply bigger than the intellect can handle, is to study chunks thrown off from it in sizes that the rational mind is capable of handling.

Any knowledge won in this stage is inherently partial, and thus not absolutely true (and in this sense false [i.e.'non-true']).

It is only when through investigation the rational mind composes a web of partial-truths; and observes them (allowing for some or many in the set to be in contradiction to one another) as one and all encompassed by a single relative truth; that you're ready to begin.

After holding all these partial truths in a single relative ideation, as long as your focus is strong enough to keep from breaking down and dispersing (the abyss), you will have the realization and experience of what Magick is. You will concurrently be blessed with the knowledge that you will never 'know' in your 'mind' what Magick is. You will simply have an experience that convinces you the truth of it. Remember, absolute truth is unequivocally a pill too big and too jagged for the rational mind to swallow.

Then you get to deal with the ego. When the realization of what Magick IS hits, you can begin to learn how Magick works. Magick works different for everyone, because every ego (basically an automaton of Mother Nature) is like a pretty little snowflake, and also, 'the same decaying matter as everything else'. You know the process is working when you only see truth when it is possessed of these kinds of yin/yang perceptions.

The fact that every ego is unique means to each and all that their Magick is unique.

Magick can be as simple as picking up a pencil, engaging in intellectual drivel, saying the right thing at the right time, making art, making love, etc. etc. The key to how it works is understanding your PRECISE relative orientation to all the forces of the universe, so you can see clearly the butterfly effects, and get those effects to occur precisely as God wants them too ...
