The Geometry of Awareness
Your clarity of thought, perception, and apprehension of the Self must be strengthened, sustained, and increased. This clarity must be made to penetrate your life & environment as a conscious and willed geometry, ordering and shaping actions and events accordingly. The formulas that you enact within yourself and then extend outwards should be clear, precise, rhythmic, and conscious. They should be expressions of a Geometry of Self-Awareness, and, in the realm of timing, their tempos should be in the pocket, neither behind nor ahead of the beat.
Inciting others to slowdown or speed up the tempo of their thoughts, perceptions, and actions, or to synch up with your own in a type of psychological entrainment, is a legitimate and effective technique of Lesser Black Magic. Creating the impression that you are behind or ahead may also suit your purposes, provided you apprehend and / or control where the actual beat is. In the realm of LBM, this represents a geometry of misdirection, manipulation, and deception. Such a technique is not possible to sufficiently control if you yourself do not know the truth and potentialities of the matter.
Apart from linguistic etymology, why refer to the art and science of the magus as magic? After all, the western mind views magical and rational thought to be antithetical. However, when magic is properly understood as an active, dynamic set of principles and practices that aim not only for befuddlement and entertainment (stage magic) or the manipulation of other minds (LBM) but also self-knowledge, self-transformation, and the application and extension of an enlightened & active Subjective Universe to the Objective world, it can be seen as the “applied psychology on a rational & supra-rational scale” that it is.
Vast portions of the psyche, which may or may not have anything to do with the largely untapped potential of the core self that one Is and may Become, are unordered and seemingly autonomous, existing with a life of their own. Because of this, multitudes of people sleepwalk thru life, unaware of the extent to which they are led and dominated by unconscious motives, reactive and programmatic emotions, and mechanical habits. When these people encounter beings that use their innate powers to clarify their perceptions and thoughts for an ongoing exploration of the Self and the world, for a dynamic self-knowledge capable of extending its formative geometry deeper Inwards and further Outwards for the purpose of causing change according to conscious will; beings who can seemingly call forth and command hidden processes and sources of energy and embody them, making the world dance to their tune while manifesting their highest hopes and dreams - such beings seem not only lucky, but magical, if not actually divine. Thus, “magic” is the art and science of operating the mind and spirit at the optimum they are designed for, and capable of. Magic is a tool for discovering and exercising the truth of what we are, and are capable of; a truth that we have yet to fully comprehend or understand.
Magical power is buried, underused and unexercised, in the thought of ordinary people. It is a unique, individual, and yet universal Geometry of Awareness that awaits its discovery, cleansing, strengthening, and extension into the Inner and Outter worlds.
