This energy bound to complexity is what we call intelligence. The formula of Magick is that energy must reach the sphere of a belief preconceptual to the belief desired. This requires that complex beliefs become simple. Degrees of simplicity equals availability of energy and capacity to believe. To try to energize a belief without reaching the required simplicity is either totally unsuccessful or exhaustive of the belief that is trying to affect the change.
Symbols are better than intelligent thought.
Sigils are more potent yet for this purpose. Care should be taken in the means of exhaustion so that the complex is not permanently damaged but simply exhausted. Sigils may be made in a variety of ways. Symbols are forms either pictorial and accessible to intelligence or arbitrary and intelligent by constant use in intelligent systems. Subjective beliefs are components of complex beliefs.
