Magick

You & I, as well as all other living beings are living magickal computers. Magick being being, to me & hopefully to you too soon, is the synthetic unifier of all thought, science, art, literature, mathematics and the living works of universal mind which seemlessly intergrates all known, knowable and occult factors into a beloved personal technique to master the world in which we all dwell; the power to generate paradise in the very midst of the world we learn what on the layered organism of ourselves what we treasure & the valuations thereof, of the past, the present, the future and it's independent destinies, made partly perfect as we assemble our computer selves with the accessible data to create, re-create, enhance and advance the manifold being of our lives, at will, our minds moving by choice and fueled by the genius of elementary things.

Greimasian analysis to the concept of magick:
* Actantial model: The magician (subject) seeks to harness their will and intention (object) to effect change in the physical or spiritual world. They may encounter obstacles or resistance (opponent) in the form of external forces, inner doubts, or societal conditioning. To overcome these challenges, they may seek guidance from a teacher, text, or spiritual entity (helper). The ultimate goal of the magical work is transformation or manifestation (receiver).
* Semiotic square: The semiotic square can be used to explore the various oppositions and complementarities inherent in magical practice. For example, we might have:
** Magick (A) vs. non-magick (non-A): This opposition can represent the tension between the magician's belief in their ability to effect change through magick, and the skeptical or dismissive attitudes of others.
** Intention (B) vs. outcome (non-B): This opposition can represent the tension between the magician's desired outcome and the actual result of their magical work, which may not always align.
* Narrative program: The narrative program of magick involves a series of stages, such as preparation, invocation, manifestation, and release. The magician must navigate these stages with intention, focus, and awareness, overcoming obstacles and integrating new insights and experiences along the way.
If the chaos magick model depends on chaos theory then it is only natural that we speak of cybernetics and rhizomatic networks. Everything has an internal logic; guidelines, connections, and rules on which things are based; patterns that we can divine, follow, and harness. A to B to C. But what I do not understand is how one can have an intent, cast a spell, and have an effect occur without any obvious string-pulling. The question is: What exactly acts as the domino that activates the chain?
Spirits?
Quantum physics?
Psychic powers?
I think it all depends on what exactly you’re doing. Spirits and gods most definitely influence the flow of magick but they don’t truly own it; nobody really does. They are all carriers of the current just as much as us, hence why I do not necessarily need to call on any spirit to perform a spell. Maybe the fault here is that we’re categorizing magick as this one singular element when in fact it consists of several elements that form the current. It’s multiplicitious. Some of it is purely psychological, other parts depend on dealings with spirits, and sometimes it’s a combination of multiple avenues; parts of which we do not (and may never) entirely understand. I’m sure there is some grand cosmic logic to it all, but I doubt we will ever be privy to that information. Magick will always have that element of wyrd; of the unexplainable and illogical. Every time we think we have pinned it down it manages to surprise and baffle us in new ways.
Magick is.
