What exactly is this about?.......

Well, let me try to explain

For a long time now, I have considered myself a “want to be” writer, I have never really managed to get my thoughts and ideas off the ground. Too many interests, Too many categories and too many threads of an idea. Better off to not share them I thought, but the reality was fear, cold hard biting fear. The blocker of all internal to external musings.

I also did not have a clear through line to what I wanted to share. I have long considered the concept of “magical thinking” for Magicians both a blessing and a curse. I will define my detailed thoughts on this going forwards, but in a nutshell the concept of “belief” gets in the way of good magic. Magic is real, we should treat it like a real thing, and to this end we are going to explore through this publication methods and tools to maximise this real thing for your benefit. As my teacher Christopher Hyatt used to say, “We must not be legends in our own minds”.

That is the aim of this writing, to dig deep and use magic as a tool for self transformation, because it is YOU who are the answer. If we remove magical thinking, and drill into the bedrock of who we are, away from the fantasies and delusions we project ourselves to be, we can live in freedom, and it is here I wish to plant my flag.

I am aiming to slowly bring tools and techniques into this space, that I have used to “Undo myself”. This involves methods of radical self acceptance, and the ability to remove “magical thinking”. Magic is real, it is not a fantasy, so we should not consider it as such. Things that are real, do not need belief. To quote Sir Terence “If it is real, it can take the pressure!” That is the thinking behind this series.

We will learn together how to use a latticework of mental models to consider situations where we wish to apply magic, rethinking what we mean by magical thinking, avoiding belief and wishing, and actually making magic work in our world. This involves the world not as you wish it to be, but as it is.

The models and tools are all part of my years of chaos magic, research, business, education and lifelong reading which has developed into an ability to see the world clearly, removing the blindspots and bias of our fantasy life, into the actual bedrock of existence.

I worked with Dr Hyatt to drill through my baggage, and I got to the bottom, no beliefs, no crutches, just “what is” and “I am”. The point of this writing is to enable you to see the trap, identify the bars of your cage and learn how to dig your way out.

When I say magic is real, I mean everyone can practise it, it is not held in the hands of magicians. There is though a removal of delusion necessary, and I hope to point you in the right direction for that through this writing. This work is necessary for both beginners and adepts, it is a gap I see in the magical communities I am part of, and it is something I feel strongly will make the world a better place. When we work through a process of spiritual autolysis, what we are left with, by removing everything that is false, is truth.

Please subscribe, I intend to keep the posts free for the next few months whilst I explore these ideas, but I am hopeful I can build this into something exciting and exploratory for all magic and non magic folk alike.

I will enjoy exploring that with you.
