Address presented at the 2nd annual Pantheacon Convention
February 18th, 1996 - Red Lion Inn, San Jose California.
Good afternoon!
My name is Joseph Max. For the next hour we're going to discuss the great thing called Chaos Magic. I'll spend some time speaking about theory, giving you the best distillation I can of what I've learned in the past several years about it, then we'll try a bit of brains-on practice of a chaos ritual and talk about what a practicing Chaos Mage does. Because Chaos Magic is a VERB - it is something you DO.
Of course, this means by TALKING about it, especially since I'm obviously working from prepared notes, I'm contradicting myself. Fine. I don't make my living holding seminars on reclaiming your "inner child" or hawking crystal chakras resonators, so you'll have to excuse my crutch. At any rate, paradox and contradiction is the soul of chaos. Hopefully, I'll be able to impart something of value by proceeding from the position of "a hair on the dog that's biting you."
Chaos Magic is dangerous, awesome, full of potential and therefore highly compelling. It is "no-holds-barred magick". The rule is that there are no rules, besides learning what works for you and using it to accomplish your will.
In the mystery and intrigue of Chaos Magic lies its power. There is no way to accurately describe Chaos Magic, any more than one can accurately describe the Tao. "That which can be described is not the Tao", as the old sage said. In a way, I suppose that the Chaos Magicians are the ultimate "secret society", though it is inherent in Chaos Magic itself, rather than needing to be enforced by oath or decree.
So why is it called Chaos Magic? Well, general consensus more than anything else. But I can offer a few opinions:
For one thing, there is the underlying assumption of the inter-relatedness of everything in the universe, for as Chaos Mathematics shows us, what seems random is actually CHAOTIC and has a higher "order" that can be perceived from a great enough perspective. From this arises the life force, the tendency for matter to accrue intelligence. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word "chaos" is Greek in origin. It's original meaning was: "a vast gulf or chasm; the neither abyss, empty space, infinite darkness, the first state of the universe."
In modern English, this has been refined to mean "the 'formless void' of primordial matter, the 'great deep' or 'abyss' out of which the cosmos or order of the universe was evolved." The popular interpretation of the word as being a synonym for "disorder" is a recent and somewhat misleading development. Both order and disorder are themselves manifestations of the Primal Chaos. The original meaning had more in common with what the Eastern mystics call the Tao. I think this is by no means accidental.
So we Chaosists call this primal connectivity "Chaos" instead of "God" or some other traditional name to remove any anthropomorphic ideas from something that is so totally un-human as to defy comprehension, at least by intellectual means.
Another reason behind the name is that many of the concepts of modern Chaos Theory can be applied to mystical interpretation. For example, it's obvious that many occult systems have many factors in common. In Chaos Mathematics, there is something called a "strange attractor", a certain type of coherency that arises in any turbulent system. A good example is a vortex; it will arise in air currents, running water, dust storms - anything from the Great Red Spot of Jupiter to the whirlpool in your bathtub drain. In magical terms, a strange attractor would be, say, astral projection, or energy centers aligned along the spinal column. Chaos Magicians look for these commonalties among seemingly different systems as clues to an underlying factor that can be stripped of it's unnecessary symbolism and put to directly use. The intent is to reveal the practical techniques underlying the outer trappings.
In cultural terms, Chaos Magic can be described as one of the newest inspirations among modern techno-shamans. It is the cutting edge of ceremonial magic. It generally involves more spontaneity and attempts to integrate shamanistic techniques a little more directly. It's influences are cyberpunk, quantum physics, chaos mathematics, psychedelia, Jung's synchronicity theory, Austin Osman Spare, Aleister Crowley, Taoism, Tibetan Buddhism, many forms of shamanism, and a host of writers, many of them fantasy/sci-fi writers.
To quote one writer, Peter Carroll: "If you want a one-line definition with which most Chaos magicians would not disagree, then I offer the following: Chaos Magicians usually accept the meta-belief that belief itself is only a tool for achieving effects; it is not an end in itself."
Meta-belief is an important concept in Chaos Magic. It is the idea that belief itself is nothing more than a psychological state of mind, although it has the power to shape our own reality, and sometime other people's reality as well. It is the means, not the end; the vehicle, not the destination.
In _The Theatre Of Magick_, Ray Sherwin wrote: "The Chaos Magician believes nothing in the sense of having faith. He or she experiments practically to ascertain if there is any value in the postulates he or she has either originated or borrowed from elsewhere. It is a fact that we all must hold certain organic beliefs for the sake of convenience. You all believe that the chairs you are sitting in are real - most of the time. This is not however a mental process, but rather an instinctive or organic one without which life would be impossible."
The practice of meta-belief confers an awful freedom and an awful responsibility. Practicing Chaos Magic involves the temporary adoption of an obsessive belief system that allows for the possibility of magic to accomplish specific effects, and then the abandonment of that belief system upon the completion of the work. Subsequent, and even contradictory belief systems are adopted in turn as need or desire may dictate. To do this it is of paramount importance that no one particular set of beliefs are ever accepted as being ultimately true.
This gives an ultra-sinister aspect to it, because unlike older systems, there is no dogma to indoctrinate you into "good" or "wholesome" moral standards before getting the details of the technique. Therefore, at all times, in using Chaos Magic, you must choose what is ultimately "good" or ultimately "evil".
Chaos magic is magic without limitations. Chaos magic is not a new system, or a rehash of older systems, or any kind of system at all. It is an ATTITUDE. It's a different way of looking at the art of magic. It isn't "new", because every ancient adept who ever struck out on his or her own heretical path was, in effect, responding to the call of Chaos. But when a SYSTEM grows out of any path, when holy books are written, when rituals and manners and moralities are prescribed for "the followers", it has ceased to be Chaos Magic. It is ONLY by pushing our selves out on a limb that we encounter the Chaos Current.
However, bits and pieces of various and sundry old rituals and belief structures, kludged together by a given individual and molded into a "system", albeit a personal one, is not Chaos Magic either. Locked-in belief is locked-in belief. It is far more important to be free to push the envelope than it is to be "correct" - or even consistent. Chaos magic is not simply a reformulation of old magical traditions with trendy new labels.
The key to it is to attempt to deconstruct consensual belief systems and free the energy trapped by those beliefs, then use it to manipulate the quantum flux of reality. Chaos Magic is an assault on belief patterns. It is an attack on the mental status quo.
Chaos Magic as commonly defined today derives primarily from the work of Austin Osman Spare and Peter J. Carroll. Both rejected most of traditional magical practice as being overly complicated, culturally bigoted and generally impotent, and fearful of the powerful but dangerous techniques of sorcery and shamanism. Both also considered traditional occult teaching to be far more concerned with imparting a system of morality than anything else, making them RELIGIONS. Spare was the first one to draw the connection between magic and (in his time) the relatively new field of psychology, freeing occult practice from religion. Carroll, along with Sherwin, founded the Illuminates of Thanateros (IOT) and attempted to also integrate the concepts of Chaos Theory and Quantum Mechanics with the occult and paranormal.
This is where the important difference lies between Chaos magic and what has gone before. It is a psycho-dramatic approach to ritual magic. It is actually quite similar to the Stanislavsky system of Method Acting. The goal of a Chaos Magic ritual is to subvert one's normal conscious identity and bring about a mental state we call "gnosis". This application of the term is similar to the meaning used by the Tantrists, where the discursive mind is short-circuited and the magician's intention can be projected into the quantum flux of the universe. Like a method actor, a Chaos Magician seeks to circumvent everyday reality and suspend disbelief. To do this we use the tools of the actor: setting, costumes, props, words, sounds, and especially what Stanislavsky called emotional memory. Any powerful, transformative experience can be utilized to tap into the emotional memory, including sex, pain, confusion, elation, disgust and ecstasy - especially in paradoxical combinations. Chaos Magicians use sigils (magical intentions that have been rendered into symbolic glyphs or mantras), ritual techniques from any source, especially original ones, and artifacts of any chosen culture to form a magical space, a temporary autonomous zone in which gnosis can be brought about.
A ritual is traditionally a map of consciousness, and therefore can be useful as a map of the trail one has blazed into one's own psyche. However, _prescribed_ rituals, along with such contrivances as "books of shadows", "holy books", "publications in class A" and the like, are precisely devised to protect the operant _from_ Chaos. In short, there is always room for new Chaos Magic methods, but none whatsoever for Chaos Magic _Systems_.
Philosophically, Chaos Magic bears a resemblance to Taoism, except for the Taoist's total quietism. Success hinges on self-annihilation, so there is a lot in common with the Nagarjuna and Madhyamaka schools of Zen, and perhaps even more so with the Nyingmapa school of Tibetan Buddhism. An examination of the Chod rituals of Tibetan Buddhists will yield valuable clues as to the formulation of effective Chaos rites. The effect of a Zen Buddhist koan on the discursive mind is a small taste of what a Chaos Magician seeks. The practice of Chaos Magic can be destablizing, because it's designed to deconstruct belief. Like psychedelic drugs, it can drastically alter your reality. So it's _not_ for the squeamish, or for those who fear what lurks in their deepest self.
Chaos magic does not discriminate between "white" or "black" magic, because all dualism is an illusion. Peter Carroll wrote in _Liber Null_, "The end results of either path are likely not to be dissimilar, for the paths meet in a way that is impossible to describe. The so-called 'middle way', or path of knowledge, consisting of the mere second hand acquisition of ideas, is an excuse to do neither and leads nowhere." Being morally neutral, Chaos Magic is probably not for those who have not already come up with a well-developed code of personal ethics. In fact, most Chaos Magicians, though not all, would define themselves if held at gunpoint as "black magicians", but not as defined by those who see the dark side of existence as merely "evil". If their magic is "black", it is because it deals with that which is dark and hidden.
In recent years, magic has been bound up to a large extent with political preference. Most emergent magical systems of the present day, such as Thelema and Neo-Paganism, are popular precisely because they combine a socio-political belief with a magical appreciation of our universe. Most people require frameworks on which to peg their opinions and preferences, and a mix of magic and politics is a holistic system which makes more sense of our sense of our being here than politics alone. Politics, of course, has nothing whatsoever to do with Chaos Magic. Politics is the art of manipulating others into a communal society, which adheres to the preferences of a dominant group.
Chaos Magic gives the lie to politics by showing us that all our efforts to bring order to this dimension are foolhardy in the extreme. Attempts to organize are attempts to increase the certainty of our being. This is anti ethical to Chaos Magic. Life-force is spontaneous as evolution itself is spontaneous.
Similarly, it can be said that religion and Chaos Magic are fundamentally incompatible. The one restricts, the other liberates. The one requires that intellect be twisted to accommodate a prescribed ludicrous belief system, the other adopts ludicrous belief systems of it's own choice and for it's own purposes - and then destroys them. Religion - and most magical systems are and always have been essentially religious in nature - requires a single mind-set for all people, for all times, in all circumstances. Chaos Magic demands personal, flexible tenets of belief; in other words, meta-belief. Religion requires certain thoughts and actions to be classified as good or evil. Chaos Magic attempts to understand and embrace all aspects of existence.
Energies, whether good or bad, will always find a point of balance eventually, which is why good can come from evil and vice versa. Trying to constrict universal energies to our own narrow human requirements will always be fraught with failure. Consider the analogy of driving a car. No matter how safe we make the automobile, and regardless of the conditions of the road which we drive it upon, purely by being within a sphere of action, in this case driving, we are vulnerable to the caprice of spontaneity; all accidents occur when people have excused themselves by pleading their innocence with: "I didn't know what I was doing!" or "I didn't realize what effect it would have!" Phrases like this are common wisdom testimony to the fact that, try as we might with politics or social reform, all living things are subject to the flow of chaos. No political or social movement has ever followed the course laid out by it's founders. It has either been altered almost beyond recognition, or disappeared. Evolve or die.
And in any case, an over-politicized social group is invariably stultified and unable to cope with the swift changes in consciousness which can occur within the population, _especially_ when their consciousness develops in response to spiritual and magical considerations. How can we seriously expect a system which combines magic and politics to be anything but drastically unstable?
Therefore, Chaos Magic is not for those who like spending endless hours theorizing over points of moral law, or who need a forum for social or political expression. It is not about exalting the Mother Goddess. It is not about communing with your Holy Guardian Angel. It is not about finding your True Will. The religions of Wicca, Hermeticism and Thelema are available if you find such things important. The goal of Chaos Magic is developing _practical_ magical techniques , that create change in the outer world in conformity with the will of the magician, with producing results that are testable and can be repeated, that have profound and sometimes catastrophic effects on the psyche of the magician. The "structure" of Chaos Magic, if it can be said to even have one, is a _non_- structure. It is vehemently non-hierarchical. Chaos Magic is magical anarchy, but in the true sense of the word - it is magic without LEADERS.
With Chaos Magic, the principle is that you can experience anything you wish as you wish it; this is the Chaosists take on "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law". Therefore it is up to you where and when, and with what you involve yourself.
In short then, Chaos Magic is Chaos Magic. It is not a new religion, nor is it only just a new magical system. It is not a "system" at all. Don't ask others to define it for you in sociological or political terms, because although they may be able to construct a dogma which makes sense, it will not have anything to do with the Chaos current.
Or as Duke Ellington put it when asked about the nature of Jazz: "If I have to explain it to you, you'll never understand it anyway!"
A person who wishes to explore Chaos Magic should attempt to overcome all such preconceptions by experiencing the Void by whatever means possible, not try to develop philosophical arguments in order to further refine a systematic approach, which is already unacceptable.
Being Chaos, the Void has no attributes save itself. This leaves the difficulty of describing it, because it is not an "it". Chaos Magic is a non-dualistic gateway, which has cheated even those who "originated" it by being so multifarious that its impetus will always be shrapnelled. Chaos Magic will always grow independently of any one source. No one can "teach" you Chaos Magic. To paraphrase Austin Spare, "All a teacher can ever do is show you your own magnificence."
It's practitioners see Chaos Magic as the culmination of other systems, not as replacement for them. Chaos Magic is an extension beyond our reality and beyond the traditionalist systems. If one is unsure how to proceed, one will find within the complexity and variety of traditionalist paths a mix of methodology which suits his or her nature, BUT when he or she has honed their talents on these tried and tested systems, the next step must be the Void and the necessary development of their own methodology - which is the heart of Chaos Magic. Its description as a "system" simply underlines the trap humans fall into when needing to conceptualize. Chaos Magic is neither this magic nor that magic. It is no-thing. One could say it is the no-thing from whence comes every-thing.
Chaos Magic has applied such concepts as postmodern deconstructionism to the study of the occult, and has achieved some remarkable insights.
To understand about rise of the Chaos current, it would be useful to examine what has happened in the several years since interest in Chaos Magic first began to gain momentum. A case can be made for the idea that the historical imperative was moving toward the emergence of Chaos Magic as the necessary next step in the evolution of western occult thought. To do this, we need to draw some comparisons with the growth of occultism following Aleister Crowley's pruning of Old Aeon Occult Renaissance-type Magic shortly after the turn of the century.
To his credit, Crowley synthesized the best of the pool of information gleaned from research and experiments undertaken by the Golden Dawn, and from his own experiences on magical pilgrimages. He cut out the crud, leaving a solid, cohesive magical system of consequence to the Western mind - perhaps the first one ever. If he can be faulted for anything in his synthesis, it is that he failed to disassociate magic from it's religious symbolism.
Synchronously, Austin Osman Spare, the first Western mind to bridge the gap between intellectualism and shamanism, develops his "freestyle obsessional system of magic" and delves into the Void concept. Spare is commonly held to be the first practitioner of Chaos Magic, and many subsequent practitioners, myself included, draw upon his work. Spare's Sigil Magic techniques fulfill the basic requirements of the working Chaos Magician: they are simple, completely free of dogmatic baggage and highly effective at achieving observable results.
In the contemporary scene, the burgeoning interest in occultism by regular folk means a good commercial climate for occult book publishers, and the dissemination of previously rare documents which demolish the secrets for secrets' sake syndrome. Popular demand and increased awareness sifts out misleading information, and modern books appear which are written by occultists who are experienced in the newly researched and synthesized techniques, many of which have been fueled by experimentation in drug culture.
Therefore, with all this going on, Chaos Magic was inevitable. Using cross-pollination, brilliant young occultists with no position to protect refined the old methods savagely and coupled them with new discoveries from established research areas - nuclear physics, neuroliguistics, quantum theory, chaos mathematics, etc. Works are written on the new Magic by Ray Sherwin, Lemuel Johnson, Lionel Snell, Peter J. Carroll, M. Phoenix, Frater U:.D:. Steven Wilson, Phil Hine and others, and treatises are privately printed and circulated which collate the disparate methodologies. Groups of like-minded psychonauts come together to explore these methods, revise them according to their own experience, then disperse to re-form in new combinations and disseminate them further in an ongoing evolution. The results seep through the planes from various independent, anarchistic Mages, and the new technologies of computer networks, electronic music production and desktop publishing spread the new memes around the planet.
And now, it has seeped through to you.
The new Current is as free as possible of all dogma and morality, a Current solely oriented to personal discovery - "The Warrior's Way". Because the system aims to surpass the limited dualistic approach to Magic which has hallmarked the traditions and shackles us to the physical dimension, it is by its nature beyond our comprehension: but its interface is Chaos, and by popular consensus, "Chaos Magic" is its name.
What is the "Quantum Flux" of the universe?
Here are few people who talk about what it might just be: "The Quantum Flux" - Or somehow be associated with. ~
Gregg Braden - The Divine Matrix:
Gregg Braden - Talks about how our "feelings" create our realities.
In the clip above,
G.B. Declares that if we feel the right feeling,
That feeling invites a possibility into existence.
He says that there is a lost language,
A language of no words,
A language that all animals understand!
Can you guess what it is?
If you guessed correctly...
Then you guessed: "Emotion.",
Which is correct!
The language of e-motion,
Is the lost language that speaks to the field,
The Aether,
The Divine Matrix,
God's Mind,
The Global Consciousness,
Morphic Resonance,
Cosmic Background Radiation - Otherwise known as: "Radio Waves!".
He says that with our chakra system through our vessel,
We can create the precise feelings needed in order to bring about supernatural change.
Gregg Braden Continues on to say that our upper three: [Chakras/Energy-Motion-Wheels] - Are associated with; "Thought-Consciousness".
And that our lower three chakras are associated with "Emotion-Consciousness".
And that our heart chakra is the place where when those two chakra systems are married or merged,
They become a feeling or belief.
So the organ that generates the energy motion of radiowaves - that communicates our feelings to the: "Field"... Is our Heart.
Our heart generates electromagnetic waves.
There is a sea of radiowaves continuously being created and cancled.
That sea of energy is everywhere!
Ranging from the reach of Earth to the rest of the volume of outerspace,
Our Universe!
So,
If we're surrounded by this vast sea of energy,
Could we not manipulate the "current" of this energy?
Could we not create the feeling that our heart will convert into electromagnetic waves,
Resulting a type of: "Wave Signature" - That represents that belief?
And where would these waves travel too?
All around you,
Your aura!
Those waves create the aura!
And the aura has color signatures!
Maybe...
It is through our aura that the field understands and mirrors our message in the form of: "Manifestation".
Now that y'all understand this,
Watch the video above.
It shows footage of a woman who has cancer be healed by the power of belief!
...
Tom beardon talks about the: "Quantum Flux" - Of reality,
And shows us through "theory" how we can manipulate that: "Field".
Tom Beardon - Radionics - Action@Distance:
What is reality?
It is your brain interpreting electrical signals.
Liber Null - Intro:
L.N.2:
L.N.3:
Basically in Liber Null,
The secret is: "We are still dreaming!".
What I got out of that was that we live in a Mind,
Or,
Some kind of simulation...
But how could that be?
Because in a dream it is always chaotic!
That is true!
But have you ever had a Lucid Dream?
It's more consistent with our waking reality,
Is it not?
Why is that?
Why? - Here is the answer:
Negative Subconscious Resistance!
That is what: "Morphic Resonance" - Is probably made of!
The reason why within a Lucid Dream there is consistency with the current theme,
Is because the current theme is a reflection of how we feel and what we believe.
Within a lucid dream,
Your disbelief becomes like a sort of background process,
What you don't believe is possible is what holds your dream world together.
For example,
Within a lucid dream,
One usually does not expect to fall off of the earth.
So one's disbelief in falling off the earth is taking action in the background of the fabric of one's dreamality.
Giving you the freedom to walk around,
And create whatever it is you want - through "belief".
Here is a video where M.R. is explained:

What is morphic resonance? - Rupert Sheldrake
...
Now imagine what a bunch of people can accomplish with: "Gnosis!".
Here is a documentary on a phenomenon called: G.C.P.:
Global Consciousness Project - Phd. Roger Nelson:
The TL;DR version is:
They placed these random binary number generators all over,
And would note down the changes in the zeros and ones when something catastrophic occurs within a city or country.
The results were that human belief alteres electric devices - When enough focus on the same topic is applied.
So on and so forth.
Basically if we all focus on one thing,
It turns into a super feeling/belief and comes to life.
Leading on to what want talk about next: Tulpas!
A Tulpa is basically a Servitor.
A Self Induced/Created - Intelligent Hallucination.
If you train enough people to experience the same tulpa by having them follow the same script,
It becomes a Living Tulpa - That only within that group can be seen.
D-News - Describes a simple Tulpa creation process:
|
The Tulpa Phenomenon
People who suffer from schizophrenia,
Cannot sleep,
And because of that,
They stay up for days,
Ending up in a hallucination.
You ever notice how right before you fall asleep,
You can hear your thoughts as if someone was literally speaking?
That's what they probably hear in accompanied by a visual hallucination.
There was one brilliant man who had an ability similar to that effect,
If you have guessed it already,
You would be correct!
Nikola Tesla!
If you don't know about his story,
You can watch these following (2) videos:
The True Story of Nikola Tesla:
The True Story of Nikola Telsa - (2):
...
The act of expecting for something to be there is the very act of creation itself!
Here is Dr. Quatum explaining how observation causes "light" behave weirdly:
Dr. Quantum - Double Slit Experiment
And if you are interested,
You can watch the video below,
For a more detailed explanation of the double slit experiment:

Quantum Physics Explained
So...
How does the "act of creation" relate to any of this?
By the fact that it's what forms our reality,
Or our perception of it.
Through the state of mind called: "Gnosis",
One can do more than create local or wan tulpas...
We can manipulate our D.N.A. with it!
Are can't imagine what the limits would be,
But here is what can possibly be acheived with such a state of mind:
What is Synesthesia?:
Or...
Here is another example on what the power of "feeling" can accomplish for you:
Adrenaline Rush@Will:
It isn't adrenaline,
But...
This feeling the guy in the video above is experiencing,
Is nothing more than than a hallucinatory result,
A fantom effect takes place and immitates that of the presence of adrenaline.
Here is what he is feeling:
Imagine that someone is pointing at your neck,
And that their fingertip is one centimeter away from touching you.
Do you feel that?
Like a ticklish glow of pressure on the back of your neck?
Now try it with your forehead,
Close your eyes and imagine that someone's fingertip is a centimeter away from touching you.
Do you feel that ticklish glow of pressure on the center of your forhead?
If yes,
Try to increase the size or volume of that self induced phantom sensation,
Flex it.
That is you control your body's experience.
This type of method has physiological effect.
Which can be measured by blood pressure devices.
That is an example of control over or vessel.
If we can do that,
We can heal ourselves as well!
...
Although these are not secrets,
This song seems appropriate:
OneRepublic - Secrets
...
Share your reality-paradigms below!
And what magickal effects you have successfully obtained from it!
You all already know what I believe,
Well...
Most of y'all. ~
So there's literally no point in me posting it here in this thread. >.>

The D.N.A. Phantom Effect:
Perhaps: "Morphic Resonance" Works this way,
A e-motional memory of a previous material.
I forgot to mention that in my opinion,
Belief is a Yin (&) Yang system,
It is like a coin.
On one side is a belief,
And on the other is disbelief.
For example,
Repeating what I mentioned earlier;
Within a (Lucid Dream),
*[Lucid] - A State Of Mind - Such as "Gnosis"*,
One does not expect to fall off of the face of the earth.
Instead, One believes that they will NOT fall off the face of the earth because they have memory of "gravity",
And this memory of gravity is a belief that dictates what should happen; what SHALL happen. ~
So within your mind,
Your unconscious takes your negative beliefs,
*Your: Disbeliefs.*,
From your subconscious and projects them.
It is your unconscious world,
The fabric of your knowledge.
Negative belief tends to outweigh positive belief,
Which is why sometimes even in a Lucid Dream we have trouble maintaining focus in attempting to manifest something.

Lucid Dreaming has its perks:
Such as communicating with your unconscious.
There are many ways to acheive lucidity within a dream,
It's all up to y'all.
If you have a desire for it,
It will happen.
You can talk to your unconscious in many ways.
You can obtain binary data from it.
You can use illusions to create a link to your unconscious.
But the most accurate way of communicating with it,
Is by dreaming lucid.

Before I came to this forum,
I had thought that maybe my body was in the way of me performing magick successfully.
That I needed to find a way to disassociate my mind from my body.
I thought that whatever was holding my body together at the cellular level was the stuff I needed to have access to,
The: "field".
I asked myself: "What could this field be?".
I imagined my body as little particles of iron,
And I imagined the invisible web of energy that held those particles together as a magnetic force field.
I concluded that in order for me to perform magick,
I needed to alter my consciousness.
I needed to be able to free my "will".
And that is what Gnosis has allowed for me to do.
There are many way to achieve [Gnosis],
But I thought that perhaps this thread could help someone get there faster. ~
So allow me to help y'all understand that the mind and body are (2) seperate beings.
I know I posted this in another thread but I find it to be relevant to this one as well:
If one studies themself,
They can come to a good degree of understanding about their vessel and mind.
So let's begin by acknowledging our senses:
We creatures have (5) senses right?
1.) Hearing,
2.) Sight,
3.) Touch,
4.) Smell,
5.) Taste.
*The mind surely cannot exist without a brain,
As far as we know.*
What is the mind?
Well...
Let's first talk about what would happen if all (5) of your senses were disabled.
What are we - When we do not perceive from any of our five sensory organs?
Are we dead?
No.
We are still alive,
And would still be able to think.
|
We would still be able to remember what it was like to physically: "perceive".
E.T.C.
We become senseless - but are still alive and are confined by our living vessel.
So y'all see,
We have:
1.) Ear Consciousness,
2.) Eye Consciousness,
3.) Sensation-Awareness/Touch Consciousness,
4.) Nose Consciousness,
5.) Tongue Consciousness.
Our brain consciousness is a marriage or realtime flow of all of our five senses working in synchronicity - Thus the illusion of brain consciousness.
We are experiencing a flow of information,
That comes and goes.
Did y'all know that we all have a second brain?
It is our unconscious!
Our stomach!
Our [gut brain/stomach] commands our main brain most of the time - unless we learn to take control.
That's why scientists are baffled as to why they can predict with such accuracy via "E.E.G." or "F.M.R.I." - What we decide to do (6) seconds before we become aware of that desire or need.
For reference:
We have seven chakras,
And (3) minds.
The marriage of our three minds creates the illusion of our reality.
Also...
Our heart is our third mind.
That is what our mind is in I.M.H.O.
A mixture of three minds working together.

Here is what happens when you disable your physical senses:
If you temporarily blind yourself via deprivation,
This is what you will see:
Or...
If you cease the flow of blood going to your hand,
You will experience a powerful buzzing sensation as if your hand were being pumped with electricity.
So on and so forth. ~
...
In no way do I condone the act of temporarily disabling one's physical senses without a professional present.
Anyone who tries sensory deprivation without aid - is solely responsible for their own actions,
I am merely prescribing an experience to help y'all see what I mean by: "Disabling The Senses."

If you have a TruConnect phone,
Then you qualify for this experiment,
But not fully,
You need to first be able to know how to increase electrical activity within your index finger.
To do this you must follow this guide:
1.) Close your eyes and imagine/visualize a finger one centimeter away from your neck.
Do you feel that ticklish sensation on the back of your neck?
If yes,
Good!
2.) Close your eyes and imagine/visualize a finger one centimeter away from the center of your forehead.
Do you feel that ticklish sensation on the center of your forehead?
If yes,
Good!
Now repeat step one,
And maintain that sensation for as long as you can without losing focus.
Bring that "feeling" into your shoulder,
And then bring it into your arm and then your forearm - hand and then index finger.
If done correctly,
You are now fully qualified to test this!
What you want to do on your TruConnect phone is go into the settings and enable: "Developer Mode".
Once enabled,
Enter it and look for: "Show Touches".
Enable it.
Leave the settings menu by clicking on your home button.
Next you need to place your TruConnect phone on a table.
Go find (2) pennies,
And place them on your TruConnect phone as illustrated in the picture below.
Once completed,
Place one of your index fingers (1) centimeter above your TruConnect's haptic screen - toward the center.
Notice how the circle doesn't appear.
Maintain position,
And repeat step (1).
Then guide that feeling into the tip of your chosen index finger.
Notice how the circle appears - indicating that the haptic screen "felt" something touch it!
...
How this came to be:
I was borrowing a TruConnect phone from my cousin,
And through boredom - I accidentally figured this out!
I placed two pennies on my cousin's tru connect phone as illustrated in the picture below and I flexed an energy throughout my entire body that felt like adrenaline.
And while I was maintaining that powerful sensation,
I noticed that whenever my index finger was near the center of the TruConnect phone - (1) centimeter above its haptic screen - the phone acted as if it was touched!
But when I could no longer hold onto the feeling I was flexing throughout my entire body - whilst my finger was in the exact same position,
The circle disappeared.
...
I got really excited about this!
I needed to prove to myself that I was causing that effect to occur...
And I was right!
...
The next time I have access to another TruConnect phone,
I promise to record that experiment and prove it to y'all!
...
B.T.W. - Essentially,
That is what chaos magick is all about!
Using our: "feelings",
An experience within our body,
To manipulate the: "Field",
Into manifesting a desired effect.
Remember: Emotion = E-Motion/Energy-Motion!
Also,
Just so y'all know,
This experiment only works with: "TruConnect" - Phones.
I haven't tested it on any other phone besides my L.G. L90 Phone - and it doesn't work.
Not unless it is near the top,
But the conditions are difficult to replicate on another phone,
And requires much more energy/stronger electrical activity within your finger/body. ~
