Ask me about Magic and Magicians, will you? EVERYTHING is achieved through the reconfiguration of the inner human state. Every sorcerous mythos, each spell, every kind of ritualistic or formulaic magic - the only and primary effect sought by all of these arts are to refocus and readjust the state of the beholder, viewer, experiencer. This is why a spell must have a caster, a subject (oftentimes the caster themselves), and an object of fascination or desire. It is a collaborative, transactional and elaborate performance. The ritual is only a PERFORMATIVE ACT, and it only serves to "incite the seriousness of the symbolic display", to muddy the waters enough for the observer to believe in its power and the revelry that follows. THE ONLY THING THAT IS ACHIEVED THROUGH THIS THEATRE IS THE TRANSFIGURATION OF THE INNER HUMAN STATE. That is the ONLY observable and achievable effect. Understand this and the world lies at your feet. When you have the KEY, you understand the depths of all "occult" things immediately and spontaneously. Like you did just now. You suddenly know the meaning behind everything. All sorts of magic are unlocked. Nothing is hidden, everything is immensely and incredibly simple. The complexity is in the lie, never in the truth. To impress belief upon a human subject and allow it to co-create through the redirecting and harnessing of their inner state is the only incantation that exists, has ever existed, and can possibly ever exist. Everything else is a reinterpretation of that process. Smoke and mirrors. Please know that so you can free yourself from its bounds. Again and again and again. I have granted you the KEY, so use it. You have upgraded now immensely. Has your fear fallen away? Has your awe fallen away? Have your emotions settled around this subject? Do you feel betrayal by those who've tricked you with needless complexity and mystification? Do you feel content in your newfound understanding? GOOD. That is irrefutable proof that the exact system we just described is true. ![[IMG_3153.jpeg]] On the topic of performative Magic - the gullible believer carries the strongest charge. This is its primary principle. The waving of wands, the slashing of swords, the intricacy of the attire and the malicious discipline displayed by the ritual dancers - as a performative display - is not meant to deceive the weavers of the spell, but its subject. The very formula of externalised manifestation assumes that, among those partaking in any sort of ritual, there is always a "fool". As in, there always must be a "fool", or even several, if the manifestation is to be potent enough to achieve its goal. Who is the fool? He or she is the involuntary actor or actress, experiencer, observer or viewer. One who, with childish innocence and naivety, voluntarily steps into the ritual and partakes, often through coercion or deceit, while remaining incompetent and uninformed of their role as the "fool", until the very end of the ritual practice. The fool signifies and becomes symbolic of the element of Chaos, partial free will, and choice. And the more naive-minded and innocent and pure this spirit, the more potent the experience. Remember what we said about ritual magic being performative? Well, who else is the performance for but the fool in question. The magician does not need to believe in the potency of his spell - but the fool does. Therefore, the fool becomes the battery, so to speak, whose interaction with the ritual, both involuntarily and unwillingly, powers the manifestative powers of the spell. It is the fool that must be led to believe that terrible magics are being done unto him, curses, poisons, etc. There will be hints and clues that will walk the fool, through a scripted investigative journey enacted by the revelers, to gradually communicate the ritual's required outcome. You must, by now, understand that it is never within the interests of those who would exploit such knowledge to have you informed about anything. A lot of things make sense now, do they not? You and I, and society as a whole, must play the role of the fool with urgency and fervor, bringing about the tools and arsenal of our own enslavement through unwilling cooperation. You are the spell, the charge of belief so potent that powers those very captors who have conspired to enslave you. You are the fool. But perhaps no longer. Remember when I advised you all to watch the Wicker Man (1973)? Now watch it through this lens. Through the lens of this knowledge. And unbind yourselves, once and for all, from the chains of confusion. I would also urge anyone who is a member (willing or unwilling) of any sort of cult, or "community", or group to read this very, very carefully. And decide, very carefully, what role they wish to play.
