SUBTOPIC: Magic and its uses.
※→ et al,
.
The use of the power and force beyond that which is generally considered ubiquitously in the tradition of the God of Abraham is difficult to describe and explain. This power and force is the fluid, left behind by the Supreme Being, that takes the shape of the universe. The success in the use of these powers and forces rests within the knowledge, skills, and abilities of the practitioner to establish and maintain a positive connection with these various powers and forces beyond their explanation.
I have never had the experience of actually feeling the flow of the
power and the force of the Supreme Being. But I have interviewed
practitioners (Magus, Priest, Acolities, and believers of strength)
who have had this experience. And when they talk about the
experience, they change, their eyes almost sparkle and for just
a moment, the immediate environment becomes charged with
a calm I very much enjoyed.
When you experience the actual push by the powers and
forces of the universe, there will be no question in your mind.

(COMMENT)
Magic existed well before humanity and in the beginning, man attempted to harness the control of wealth, the turn of the environment, prosperity, survival and salvation, and destiny, by appealing to higher powers for help. Anthropologists define magic as having three functions and three elements. The three functions are:
• to produce
• to protect
• to destroy
The three elements are:
• spells and incantations
• rites or procedures
• altered states of consciousness accomplished through fasting, meditating, chanting, visualizing symbols, sleep deprivation, dancing, staring into flames, inhaling fumes, taking drugs, and so forth.
Western Alchemy and Esoteric Orders → is a quest for perfection → and is based on Hermetic philosophy, that cosmic forces govern all things in creation and that the material world → the microcosm → reflects the heavenly world or the macrocosm.
Prayer → in a broad sense is raising the mind to God. In its broadest sense prayer is speaking with Supreme Being, ‘‘Prayer considered in its essence, is a conversation and union between Supreme Being and man.
