Ah I miss the good old days.

Spraypaint: just keep doing it till it works. your thought is Completely valid there.
Orlando: Point

I didn't say it was magick as children (and oh yes, we do get coerced. I assume you suffered the hell of middle school with the rest of us) I merely put forth the idea that these skills that we naturally possess as children, when followed to their logical adult conclusion make for very simply done highly effective magick, and that the vast majority of people abandon these skills as useless, and thus when discovering the path of magick are forced to relearn them- through meditation and biofeedback devices as you suggest, or as I suggest, remember how we did it in the first place, which is a far simpler affair, in my opinion (brainwave changes or not). The hardest part is getting over feeling silly about it and just doing it. Once you get the hang of it (which does take time. getting the hang of influencing reality takes time, I ain't gonna lie), any effect that can be achieved by magick, you can accomplish right now with a thought. No hullabaloo, no waiting for the right time- right now. You still have to wait for the effect to manifest most of the time (until you get Really good, and current reality being taken into consideration), but the casting of it? Be a Wizard, and throw it. Done. and like I said, doesn't work with everyone's mind, but there are enough people out there who get the lightbulb when this thought hits them.

This is indeed true, this method doesn't work for everyone- and many need a distinct process, a more rigid practice, a distinct trail to follow, or who's main mental process is something other than visual based imagination. What I think people of such mind should take from this idea is license to find their own form of creative magickal expression, to feel free to explore the way their mind Does work- to use their natural inclinations in their magickal practice to their advantage- because it's magick, it doesn't matter What you do, so long as you Do Something to make it work. I've struggled for years to try to figure out how to convey to people how to find for themselves, Their Way, what I found My Way. That's the truly important bit, I think- To ponder how You would make the magick work, if it was your ideal world- what would You do? When you think about magick how do you Wish the process worked? Do That. Keep at it till it works. And it will.

point. I guess I just like the "first person shooter" perspective
