Every entity performs magick on an unconscious level. This happens when an entity decides to project intent towards a desired object or entity. As an example: When anyone becomes emotional towards someone or something they automatically direct energy as well as intent towards that object. Depending on how emotional they are (how much energy they are projecting) will determine how quickly their intent will manifest itself into reality. Some people are naturally attuned to picking up on someone's directed intent towards them and get "bad or good vibes". There is a lot of power if one knows how to focus and better direct their intent/will. Hence you have the occult. Secret knowledge that gives the occultist a system in which to better harness the Will as well as a controlled method to direct such will. There are two kinds of Occultists. You have the ritualistic occultist or you have the direct magic occultist. Both methods work. Depending on the practitioner for numerous reasons one method will work better than the other.
Now the reason why Magick is secret or of the Occult is that it is a very powerful tool in that you can manifest your will through ritual or thought alone which gives the individual true freedom. Governments, corporations, and even the majority of the Occultists do not want the populace to obtain such freedom. This is so because governments and the majority of Occultists do not believe that humanity is evolved enough to harness such abilities. Which I would have to wholly agree on even though that will not stop me from teaching humanity about this stuff. This is so because there is more to the Big Picture then to "keep silent".
Ritual magick is a medium in which the occultist uses to form and direct will. It is the act of using third party (materialistic) symbols and dramatization to build up faith (will) in the magician to access (evoke - invoke) a particular extension (psychological medium) of themselves that contains the knowledge or abilities they seek. Ritual magick is the lowest form of magick in that the magician is wholly dependant on materialistic symbolic associations and enactments to access parts of their self. They need to manifest a medium that is not bound by the "material rules" that the magician has believed in since birth. Thus ritual magick is a means for a person to skip any training of self mastery. Instead of believing in themselves they have to create a medium that is an extension of their self to do what they will. It is no different then the Christians or the pagans creating an extension of themselves that they call God to manifest what they believe they are unable to do. For all those who wish to become one with God and or adhear to the Universal Law of One should not invest in ritual. Ritual is the means to fragment the "I" or self. To Jesus Christ ritual is the Devils tool. When you fragment the self you are creating a form of an idol. Each godhead, spirit, demon, angel, becomes an idol that seperates the adept from God. Thus you are investing in an illusion. An illusion that is highly corrosive to the soul which has no real long lasting benifite for the spirit. Analize what I am saying and come up with your own conclusion. Within every spirit is infinate understanding and knowledge..There is no reason to create constructs and fragment the self when you can disolve the self and become the real "I AM". Remember that true knowledge and wisdom is obtained through revelation. This is the point of meditation. To conjure revelation. Hopefully my philosophy helps you remember and thus brings about revelation.
Direct Magick:Direct magick does not use any materialistic mediums to gain desired results and is thus the hardest form of magick to master. It is the hardest to master because you have to dissolve the material self and push away the mind and use only your Will. Most ritual magicians do not understand how direct magick works because they are still using their mind to make sense out of it. The mind works fine for ritual magick but for Direct magick it acts as a wall by setting up defined boundaries via materialistic associations. To effectively perform Direct magick one has to have no associations beyond what s/he Wills. Which means you have to have mastery over the mind and know how to separate the Will from the mind. Most ritual magicians get confused over this method because they see the Mind as the producer of the will which it isn't. The Will in fact operates through the mind. It is the mind that acts as a medium for the Will to figure out how to achieve the materialistic demands of that Will. In Direct Magick you bypass the need for the mind and operate on a level beyond the material. By operating beyond the materialistic associations all laws of reality become tangible because they no longer have a defined rule. Your Will then makes the rules. Ritualistic magicians have a hard time accepting this because they associate the capability of effectively achieving a desired result through direct magick based on the capabilities of their individual Will and most of them have had no real training of the Will beyond ritual and are thus spiritually weak . And as I stated earlier ritual is not an effective means of controlling the Will but of tricking the mind through psychological programming as well as the effective incorporation of other 3rd party energies/wills through the use of symbolic associations to obtain a result. As a note: Anything that uses the filter of the mind as well as material symbols or biological material movements and gestures cannot be used once one has left the body entirely. Thus it is not spiritual but psychological and is thus a waste of time because it is not eternal and is not part of your spirit or soul that you take with you. Ritual is no differant then the dependancy of technology.
