Training the Mind for Magick
The mechanics of Magick comes win a matter of many different formulas for the continuous
conclusion; remember the results are not a one and done, but are carried throughout the universe in the
infinite. So some major parts of the magical equation consist of faith, belief, will, focus, practice,
experience, knowledge, and the level of conscious awareness attained. These are a few parts of the
equation, however, the most primal half that dictates all of these options are last listed, level of
conscious awareness. When this is trained through every trial it sets your moral, views, opinions,
perceptions on life, and helps you find the Inner Light of the Crystal Tower you carry within yourself.
Kabbalist do their best to seek out the Tree of Life they have concluded that lives within the soul and
reach it by heightening their awareness. There are many aspects of life that will continuously improve
about yourself when you target in on the higher conscious, but there will be many people who will
debate this fact due to their own opinion. It is proven that those who attain the higher conscience are
content, spiritual, and carry on with the live and learning process, as is proved by the Buddha, Jesus,
Mohammad, many Jewish Leaders, and many other spiritual leaders. This is what occultist work to
achieve as they also focus on the power of the Inner Self that is dictated by the higher level of
awareness. These occultist include Aleister Crowley, Gerald Gardner, AE Waite, McGregor Mathers,
Alan Bennett. Israel Regardie, and many others as they were all ceremonial magicians and kabbalists as
well. These men where about raising their awareness to learn about themselves if you have a chance to
read any of their papers. There is no doubt that this is the main statement in any religion.
In the 13 goals posted “Know Thyself” is listed as the first for a reason. There are many ways
to know yourself and raising your consciousness is one of the most effective methods of this
achievement. Let us go even further into how this process works, why it should be done, and what it
accomplishes in the end the method of raising awareness is an old way of learning morals and values
for setting the stage of being a better person. This is done through allegorical teachings that were a part
of many cultures and traditions deeply delved with stable foundation of civilizations. The Cherokee had
many myths designed for the most simple of tasks to allow the person to gain their own perspective of
moral and doing the right thing as they grew as a person. Mythos have most definitely reshaped the
conscious level of the person earning what they learned. When the Cherokee men would go out on the
hunt it was one sign of achieved manhood. In our modern society this would be achieved by a man
getting his first job, so you would take him out to celebrate as a reward for achieving his manhood. The
ancient Greeks used the story of Uranus downfall to Cronus as an example in Greek history to show the
relevant history of their agriculture. Mythology is merely one way of raising your awareness. The
philosophy of raising the conscious must be lived as well. This is lived by earning and working hard in
your practices which consists of various practices; such as yoga, kabbalah, Freemasonry, looking at
everything around you, living an orderly life, being level headed in every situation, seeing life as a
lesson to be learned, and many other relevant practices. So to achieve this state you have to work very
hard in everything you do; this is no easy task and can take a lifetime to achieve. When you achieve
this you will ultimately reach your Higher-Self and be rewarded in the heavens. Improving yourself is
one more state of achieving the higher conscious. You do not have to study any religious of spiritual
practices honestly to have your Divine Conscious unlocked, the methods are listed above in this
paragraph for understanding. When you strive to work on yourself you are cracking the doorway to
knowing who you are inside and out.
There is a state called the Samadhi in yoga, meaning Bliss State. When you have
reached this last branch of the eight you have mastered the mind. Pay attention to yourself and what
you do, you will learn so much about yourself; thus you have defined self-discover at that moment.
Magically this dictates how effective your ritual or spell is in the long run. One way you can do this is
to focus on your goal in your Magick without looking back; you have raised your awareness. Self-improvement should be the goal of every person on the earth in every category that makes us who we
are. As Jesus said, “He who is perfect cast the first stone.” The reflective meaning is none of us are
immaculate gods or goddesses running around in the mundane world, if that was the case there would
be no point in learning. When one focuses on bettering themselves they are inadvertently working on
their awareness, this hold true if the individual does not make that same mistake over, if they do then
they have learned nothing and failed to cue in on the higher conscious. The Higher Conscious makes
you realize all of us are people with the same issues of living life and all we can do is try harder the
next time we have the shot to do our best. We cannot dwell on the past, but look ahead to the future to
better ourselves in every way and rediscover the kid we felt like in terms of knowing we have
problems, but driving forward like tank to learn from them in the end. There have been a few
experiences from a few young adults I have witnessed who are bold enough to move on. I notice as we
grow old we take a few punches from life while we are in the ring and lose that idea of going forward if
we are not careful and have to retrieve it again.
There are circumstances that all of us as humans have to face that make us human to show we
are mortal, not the gift of the divine with a shield of white Light around us. When you have a higher
conscious you tend to find this concept a lot easier when a period of “I really messed up” comes into
play. There is a time for males when they are in their twenties when they just wake up and feel
different, like an over night thing. I have came crossed this and discussed it with other males whom
have lived life, they felt the same thing I did. I cannot speak on the behalf of just waking up and feeling
different, but I can say all of us go through this phase, but sometimes it is not over the period of an
overnight transcendence. This would be considered the initiation as a man or woman, aka a life
initiation. When a person goes through this phase it is gladly earned. You have become the Mother or
Father in terms of allegorical definition. You have earned the next level of consciousness and
awareness. In the end of this process the higher conscious when one sticks with the hard work of
finding themselves they have made a feat few can say they have tried to accomplish in the end. The
rewards for this lifetime goal are beyond that of the mind’s comprehension, a lot like the Ain Soph. We
will never know the full results after we leave the Malkuth, but when we do we can promise there is a
Light at the end of the tunnel. The people who stick to their guns in this stage are the ones who are the
most enlightened when they understand the Inner Tree of Life by the higher awareness that influences
the conscious mind. These are truly the most bold of people that are honored and should be the role
models by the standards of moral. There are cultures that do take notice of this achievement with
regards to the Native Americans, the Norse, the Celts, and so on. The term “respect your elders” refers
to this application of they have lived and learned from their mistakes, taking their subconscious beyond
yours in the end. When you look a a person in the eyes you can tell a lifetime full of experiences,
tragedies, successes, and wisdom. There are those who discover this later, late bloomers, but this is
better then folks who never try at all to raise their awareness. When I look at my grandmother I see that
she raised her awareness by living and learning, so I really enjoy talking to her for this purpose. So
when you raise your Awareness and Conscious mind take the personal step of maintaining it, even
when times get hard. You will find yourself in better situations and more content with your life. The
Deities of your choice will gladly reward you if you follow this path.
