Here's the main bit

Get ready for a long read...

I've been going down some rabbit holes the last few days. Isisian Codes, harmonic frequencies, meditation focusing on controlling your own sympathetic nervous system, and all other kinds of stuff.

I've come to some conclusions on how magic REALLY "works."

To preface, let's get some things straight first. God is real, demons are real, and they constantly influence the earth. God didn't make occult magic, so that must mean demons made it, right?

But you might ask, "aren't demons destructive and unable to create?"

Well, keep reading to find out what might be going on there.

There are layers of magic. Some are simply superstition and others actually get to the point of objects moving on their own, levitation, and electrical disturbances all the way to occult rituals designed to harvest demonic powers. I'll get to those, but let's start with superstition.

Superstition is attributing to a random act a predictable result. Break a mirror, you get bad luck. You walk under a ladder, you'll get bad luck. You step on a crack, break your mother's back. Those types of things.

Superstition has its use in the human psyche. It is nestled in cause-effect and pattern recognition, and those are very useful skills to develop. The only problem with superstition is that the cause rarely has anything to do with the effect aside from statistical coincidence. People attribute a pattern to happenchance and begin to think falsely concerning what can be predicted to happen given certain specific events. You begin to spot patterns that aren't there and ignore ones that are.

So why does it have power over people enough to influence their actions? You may have figured it out just with that line, so let me diverge a little before I spoil the surprise.

Let's break down the types of "magic."

Superstition: Believing that certain specific events predict future outcomes with more than chance regularity.

Rituals: By the placement of objects, the saying of chants, and the orchestration of a carefully ordered set of actions, one hopes to influence the world, thereby putting a hex or a spell on a person, object, or reality as a whole.

Potions: "Drink this, you will feel better and all your ails will fade away." Basically the idea that certain ingredients put together can influence the human body more than by mere chemical interaction or nutrition.

Omens/Brands/Symbols/Totems/Talismans: Objects or patterns that seek to influence the surrounding space or idea to which it is ascribed. For instance, Shinto priests will write words on paper sheets and pin them to doors, Satanists will hide occult symbols in social media logos, animal totems will try to invoke the spirits of the wild, and some groups even make an effort to use numerology as a means for complex ciphers with double-meaning.

Illusion: Tricking the eye of onlookers to think you have abilities that you do not actually have. Illusion, like magic tricks, in and of itself is benign, but the mystery and showmanship is where the magic actually is. Convincing people you can do things they cannot and in inexplainable ways can give you power over them. Real power of suggestion. Even to a point of mind control.

.

So, what is going on here?

Well, you could come to the conclusion that these things actually work. By placing a circle of candles, and stabbing a doll of the person you hate with a needle, that you can actually do harm to them. 99% of the time, if you were to try that, it won't work. But that off chance it does... Is it still worth it to try, considering you do have malicious intent?

Let's talk about the first layer of "magic."

First Layer Magicians

There are people who believe they do have the ability to influence the world through spells and rituals. They do things and let their victim know, or not know, what they are actually doing. They think their power comes from demonic powers, and seek to grant favor with demons to attain it.

...

Consider the following.

You believe that someone has put a spell on your. Or at the very least, someone you know who does occult stuff may have put a spell on you. You don't believe it, but something in the back of you mind keeps you wondering.

Something bad happens to you. Aww, it must be coincidence.

Another thing bad happens to you. Well, that's strange.

Another really bad thing happens to you. This is freaky, how is this happening?

Another really really bad thing happens to you. THAT WITCH PUT A SPELL ON ME!

And so on and so forth.

Think about what is really happening here. Did the witch actually put a spell on you? Or is it your own mind leading to a self-fulfilling prophecy? I think it would be the latter, correct?

...

Okay, now think about this.

The Placebo effect is a well documented medical phenomena. People given medicine and told it will help them actually do get nominally better. They don't know it is actually sugar pills, but despite the medicine being categorically ineffective, they still get better.

What's going on here?

Well, the person's own positivity and determination is what is actually making them better. They have faith that they will get healthier, and those positive vibrations/feelings/beliefs actually propel them to physically manifest what they believe to be happening.

...

What do those two previous examples have in common?

The short answer, is the victim/patient's own belief into what is actually going on. If they think they have been cursed, they will actually seek to validate that belief by making clumsy and poor decisions because they subconsciously believe it to be so. Likewise, with the Placebo effect they act as if they will get better and so their bodies respond in kind.

You can view that as just a psychology trick, but in reality something "magical" is going on beyond the explanation of science. The luck of the cursed person does seem to legitimately be unexplainable at times, beyond just self-destructive psychological torture.

And so stands the second layer of "magic."

Second Layer Magicians

Some know that people have doubts about the non-existence of magic. They likewise know that superstition doesn't in and of itself result in predictable outcomes. They realize that it is people's own perception working against them is the real power, because they know the power of suggestion and superstition can be used to self-sabotage those who have poor faith, or rather, too much faith in the wrong thing.

Furthermore, they believe that "real magic" comes from belief alone. They believe that as long as they will something to be, it will come to pass. They believe that every person has the ability to affect reality in substantial ways simply by believing something can/will occur. They also believe that by manipulating another person's belief system, it will force reality to shift and change to meet what the majority of peoples' perception is.

This type of occultist believes, without a doubt, that the world is ever-changing and if a group of people believed in something hard enough they can even will aliens into being, wholesale. They believe if they plant symbols and double-messages everywhere, that they are branding the world to shift in their favor.

They have that much faith in the power of suggestion.

The only problem with such people is that they too have been duped.

Enter, the third layer of "magic."

Third Layer Magicians

Now comes the real shtick. Who puts people like the Cabal in charge?

More to the point, why, if the previous is true, aren't the most faithful Satanist and Cabalists not on the front line of "willing" into being their preferred machinations? Why aren't there massive rituals taking place in honor of their delusional belief system?

Because the third layer magicians know the "truth."

To them, it is all just the placebo effect. People cannot change reality just because they believe hard enough. Rather, these occultists "know" that the only real power is by deluding people into believing something so much that they grow a form of determination and unwavering faith that something will happen because of the "magic" cast on them that they become a veritable force of nature. They become so certain in their assumptions about what is going on that they become unstoppable. They truly believe they can do it, and so they can, even to the point of ignoring their own demise.

This explains why the Cabal won't stop even though they know...

Nothing Can Stop What Is Coming.

The second layer think they can control the world by willing things into being, and that by duping enough people into believing the same, they will have their way.

The third layer knows that this is a force that can be harvested, so they appease the second layer and use money and leverage to make it seem like reality is shifting to the will of the second layer, thereby emboldening them to act fervently for their beliefs.

In other words, the third layer turns the second layer magicians into ZEALOTS who are so thoroughly brain-washed that they think anything is possible, even willing flat-earth into being a reality.

Such a slave is hard to come by, and takes decades of brain-washing. But the results speak for themselves.

But, we are missing one more layer.
