If it can be said in less than 10 words, Then why are you yapping? If it can be said in a single word - why can't we do that? If it can be communicated through silence - why isn't it? It's not that some people talk too much, it's that they have lazy minds. Words turn into [[The Fundaments Of Magic|Magic]] when they are weighed down with intent, hidden meaning - spoken with correct intonation, rhyme and urgency (or lack thereof). And when a spell is cast - it engages the listener's [[imagination]]. Brings the conscious forth. If you can beckon, with your words - [[Consciousness As A Mirror|consciousness]]. If you can conjure momentary, present awareness in the listener with what you say - you can then upgrade the non-conscious listener into wakefulness. You can bring about awareness. And awareness precedes [[awakening]] itself. A spoken word can conjure incredible imagery in one's mind. The greatest enchantment one can cast upon another is to induce fascination. "What if..." The [[The Art Of Invitation|mind's eye]] has no limitations, it is not constrained by time. You can birth a world within another - in less than a heartbeat. ![[7377022cb9ca97b0d60662ddb1df0e56.gif]] What are words if not [[The Fundaments Of Magic|magic]]? And what is magic if not words perfected? Words that could make a king abdicate his throne. Words that could make loyal a harlot. Words that could turn an evil man's heart. Words that could make a poor man rich. And a rich man poor. But what are these words - you ask? And therein lies the lesson of magic - that it is, therefore, less about practice and more about [[Access|access]]. And what grants access to such great power is nothing less than a heart of gold. How else would one find the right words to speak - if not through the heart? ![[Pasted image 20260419031314.png]]
