A HYPOTHESES OF MAGIC.
You are probably asking, “Who is this to teach about magic?”
That is a good question, I am just a man. My education is in the sciences,
electronics to be exact. However I come from a family full of magical
practitioners. My father was a member of a Hermetic Order. I am now a member of
the same Order. My sister is a practitioner of Wicca although she calls it
earth magic. And having married into a family from a third world country, I
have been exposed to shamanism and folk magic.
This does not qualify me, at all. Having been brought up in
America first during the space age. Then I served ten years in the US Navy.
After that I attended a fine university and earned a degree. At one time if you
had ask me about magic I would have laughed at you.
I became dissatisfied with the evangelical church in
America. Therefore I started a study in comparative theology. This led to my
studying lots of different philosophies. It was at this time that I started to
notice a common thread going through most faiths. It got deeper, every Faith I
studied has an element of magic in it.
My science based education didn’t help. I routinely see
things happen that have no logical right to happen. Then I noticed people
talking about the Law of attraction or the secret. I remembered books like the
power of positive thinking. This is when it dawned on me, Magic works
sometimes.
Now can we make it work all the time. I will say that the
answer is a big resounding Yes. Don’t worry you don’t need to pay me anything
or even believe me. If you want to you can leave now and never come back. If
you should choose to stay and read on. Rest assured everything I’m going to
tell you is something you can try out yourself for free.
One of the requirements of the Order I belong to is we need
to pass our knowledge or Gnosis on. This Gnosis must be given away it cannot be
sold. Not even in book form, hence this Blog. I will start from a Hermetic
background. But I do not maintain that it is the only way to achieve your
goal. Therefore we need a premise to
base our hypotheses on.
The principle of Mentalism. The Universe is mental. No, that
is not a joke; the Universe is in the mind of the All. Before anything came to
be, there is the All. On the other hand, you could say the One Power, God,
Goddess , Allah, call it anything you want. Just remember that any name you give
it is wrong. The All is unlimited
potential, just like your mind. ( Then God said “Let us make mankind in our
image, in our likeness. Genesis 1:26 NIV) Let me try to explain by giving you
an example.
You can imagine anything; the laws of physics do not restrain
your imagination. In your mind, anything is possible. The All is the ultimate
imagination so it is unlimited potential. As I have said, for some reason the
All decided to think of this Universe.
The all exists outside of this universe as well; as this
universe exists within the mind of the All. Let me say it this way, all of the
Universe is within the All. However, the Universe is not the entire All.
The All created space and time, when still existent outside
of it. So for the All there is not time or space, just potential.
You are part of the All and you can touch the All with your
mind. We think anyone could do this. However, they choose not to. Thereby
limiting their potential. The point of all this is; if you can imagine
something while in touch with the All it will manifest in your universe.
Therefore taking this, the first hermetic principle as our
starting place. We can look for evidence to back up this statement. I see
evidence supporting this in the Quantum enigma or as some call it the duality
of sub atomic particle states. If the wave function of a particle does not
collapse until it is observed. Then the particles state is dependent on the
observer.
The question is not if the tree falls in the forest and no
one is around to hear it does still make a sound, but is there even a tree to
fall? This question was answered for me by a little jingle.
I find it odd.
Is there still a tree in the quad?
Should no one be about in the quad.
Ah but I am always about in the quad.
God.
Let us take one more leap. If you ask, “So just what is this,
that is always about? You have not justified the God hypotheses; we are still
on the superimposition of mater. (Mater existing in more than one state or
place at a time.)”
I ask you to think about light or radio waves. We are told
that they move as a wave. Therefore they need to move through a medium of some
sort. Unless they are particles in themselves. It has been demonstrated to me
experimentally, that I can prove ether state for them. All depending on how I choose
to observe them. I propose the medium is an energy field called the all. This
is not so far off as you might think at first. We know that Zero-point energy
is the lowest possible energy that a quantum mechanical physical system may
have; it is the energy of its ground state. All quantum mechanical systems
undergo fluctuations even in their ground state and have an associated
zero-point energy, a consequence of their wave-like nature.
The uncertainty principle requires every physical system to
have a zero-point energy greater than the minimum of its classical potential
well, even at absolute zero. For example, liquid helium does not freeze under
atmospheric pressure at any temperature because of its zero-point energy.
The concept of zero-point energy was developed in Germany by
Albert Einstein and Otto Stern in 1913, using a formula developed by Max Planck
in 1900. The term zero-point energy originates from the German
Nullpunktsenergie. The German name is also spelled Nullpunktenergie (without
the "s").
Vacuum energy is the zero-point energy of all the fields in
space, which in the Standard Model includes the electromagnetic field, other
gauge fields, fermionic fields, and the Higgs field. It is the energy of the
vacuum, which in quantum field theory is defined not as empty space but as the
ground state of the fields. In cosmology, the vacuum energy is one possible
explanation for the cosmological constant. A related term is zero-point field,
which is the lowest energy state of a particular field.
We have all seen the demonstration of how gravity warps
space. They take a rubber membrane and place a heavy ball on it. This deforms
the elastic membrane, then when they roll a marble past, it curves around as if
it was going into orbit. This should make it obvious that empty space must
still contain something to warp. I propose this something is the All, or the
zero point field.
The argument of whether this field is a conscious entity or
not is not necessary at this point. We just need to accept it to be there and
to be unlimited potential. This brings up the point of entanglement. We each
have our own universe and they all touch and overlap. Causing them to be
entangled. My universe effects yours and yours effects mine.
Next we will look at how magic can manifest your desires in
your universe.
