Magick, why do it?
(A
teaser)
Here is my reasoning behind
the use of this thing called Magick. I
practice a form called Ceremonial High Magick; it is called this for both
obvious and subtle reasons. Ceremonial refers to the technical method
used while High refers to both the form of mind state you are seeking to
obtain, known as the God Head, as well as the strength of Will required
to attain it.
As to the question of good vs. bad Magick and this karma thing I have
to add that bad Magick is typically anything that results in the
deterioration of the essence of this planet and the myriad things in on and
over it. This deterioration will affect you as the source as it spreads
outward and thus become bad Karma.
The point behind Magick is to elevate your consciousness and personal
awareness to ever higher and deeper levels. The actions of Ceremony are
designed as a system of mnemonics that present a pathway for the
neurological programming of your brain and body. The result of this is an
increased ability to make connections between concepts and ideas, you
think quicker and more lucid. One will also tend to gravitate to a calm
mind and supple body, your social interactions will carry intellectual
gravity with others and you will gradually gain access and control over
aspects of the mind that are considered to be Higher Functioning. You
will begin to develop an ability to control even the autonomous nervous
system in your body, known commonly as biofeedback. When you enter into
the God Head state of mind you will also have an awareness level that
will grant you the ability to manipulate your environment and the event
taking place in it per your Will. I apologize for the ramblings, however
this is not a question that is easily answered. I have just begun to
scratch the surface of this topic, I would recommend if you want a good
definition and explanation why you should practice Magick that you read
a book called Liber Aba of Book IV parts I-IV buy Aleister Crowley, for
starters.
