Hello everyone. First, I want to thank the opportunity to participate in this forum and to be in contact with people who take true magic as seriously as I do, and to whom I dedicate myself with true rigor.
My goal here is not just understanding, but rigorous study and research, development, deepening, and practice related to occultism, esotericism, and spirituality, always with the utmost seriousness aimed at personal and spiritual growth. My path is grounded in African-rooted spirituality, combined with in-depth studies in psychoanalysis, hypnosis, and the operational structure of the 11 steps of magic.
A central pillar of my research explores the esoteric and gnostic perspective of Christ—not the dogmatic figure of the masses, but the true adept. This refers to the ancient Greek identification of Christ as a master and mage of the word(dia Christou o goistais) who named himself "Aberamentho" (Pistis Sophia) and to the true meaning of the word "Abracadabra" which comes from Aramaic: avra k'davra(Phonetic Avrah Kadavrah) which means "I create as I speak", reflecting the operative principle of creation, in which reality is actualized through verbalized intent, as in the Bible: and "God said": Let there be light!
I look forward to substantive exchanges with those who treat this path with the dedication and seriousness it demands. It is a pleasure to be here. Grateful!
I appreciate your considerations, your appreciation, and the warm welcome. Yes, the intention is to contribute with everything I have studied and continue studying, learning, and applying, while also humbly receiving valuable insights to keep building the reality of my own in the material world, focusing on my growth and development, and helping those who also wish to enlighten themselves and build their own reality. The path is individual, yet it must not be lonely; true contribution is a two-pole flow of the universe—giving (-) and being humble to receive (+), joining hands so we can walk further together toward enlightenment. My best regards.
Thank you for the welcome. Answering your question: I am an Umbandist — I practice Umbanda. (Umbanda, a term from Kimbundu language meaning the art of healing, magic, and spiritual craft)
Umbanda represents a profound convergence of African-rooted spiritualities (such as Candomblé and Quimbanda), Kardecist Spiritism, religious syncretism, and Shamanism, bringing together Orishas, spiritual guides and their archetypes, guardians, and protectors in a joint effort directed toward overall growth and evolution, both in the spiritual world and in the earthly world.
I appreciate your curiosity, your question, and the opportunity to clarify.
Oh, is that the origin of "abracadabra?" Cool! That actually sheds a lot of light on the context of many phrases you'd find in ancient texts (like the bible quote you gave in your intro) for me.

I appreciate your observation and what you have valued. It is very interesting to observe what you wrote and to see—'with the ears'—what is occulted in the word that creates reality, much like what is described in ancient texts making mention of 'avra k'davra'. I listened to what you said in your words, which, by resonance, express exactly the context of the true meaning of 'abracadabra'. You said: 'sheds a lot of light' on the context... Listening literally to 'shed a lot of light' far beyond 'metaphor and metonymy' (referencing Jacques Lacan's formulation of the unconscious structured like a language—where metaphor acts as substitution and metonymy as displacement—in contrast to the literal letter of the spoken word) and the expression it represents, casually (by chance) and through your resonance with the topic, you expressed 'with your words' using literalness what is truly described and explained in the introduction I made. It was illuminated with light, brought into the light, pointed with light to something that was hidden within the words “through listening". And you listened far beyond a simple description, explanation, or introduction, because it was something that 'reflected itself' in your 'words' and which I am demonstrating in this synthesis.
When we focus on and see with our ears, we are bringing to the light what is hidden in the word, and the word creates reality, 'avra k'davra'. Seeing with the ears phrases and words like: 'spell the word', which with attentive listening unoccults the fact that the wordcasts a spell, while simultaneously listening to 'sentence'—which refers to a spoken phrase—what unoccults through listening is that the phrase is sentencing (judge's ruling) the person's own reality. Referring to the example when a person says: 'I’m going to look for a job', the person has just pronounced their own judgment, sentenced their own reality to guarantee that they “will not find a job”, since “looking for” is not the same as “finding”(in reference to the concept of the signified, as developed by Jacques Lacan from Saussure's signifier/signified pair). Conversely, when one says: 'I’m going to find a job', then the sentence is that they will find the job. It is the “spell of the word (spell cast)” in the “sentence of their own reality”, and with 'listening', and as you well said: light is placed where there was once darkness.
As Christ spoke in Matthew 15:11: 'Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.'(King James Bible Version - KJV).
There is a clear reason why the universe gave us one mouth and two ears.
Now I am curious, if it is possible for you to share 'as many phrases you'd find in ancient texts', it will be of great value for my study.

I completely understand your point of view regarding the idea that "a job will find you." It is logical, but it is not operational from the standpoint of an initiate, since the initiate operates within the situation. However, there are several premises in initiation. One of them is not to be the object of another's desire, but rather to be the desiring subject. (referencing Lacanian Psychoanalysis)
In this case, by making that statement—that a job will find you—you act as the object of the "Other's" desire. You operate from a posture of expectation, waiting for something to find you.
The key lies in "from where" you speak —that is another premise you must consider in initiation. As Zen teaches: who moves your tongue when you open your mouth?
Saying that a job will find you is throwing your power away, because you operate under the expectation that another will find you. It is a speech of expectation. And in this case, the feeling must be different. And what is that feeling?
Christ taught: do not set forth into a situation without first aligning: Idea, Word, and Feeling. These are the first three internal steps that Christ taught to create what you desire to create in the real plane. There are other steps.
Consider that, in initiation—viewing Christ as an initiate—the path is not to be the object of another's desire, but to be the desiring subject. The desiring subject invests their own desire, which aligns with what Christ called Agape—deep love, or love combined with desire. It is at this point that you channel your energy into what you say and into what you do, the action you undertake, without waiting and without becoming the object of another's desire, which Lacan in Psychoanalysis would call: "The Big Other."
Therefore, when you say that "a job will find you," you become the object of another's desire, as I said: you throw your power away, and you give your power to another, generating expectation externally from within yourself. Whereby you will generate in your reality synchronous casualities with what you are emanating from within yourself—that is, situations which, by mirror reflection, echo this expectation that a job will find you. Reflecting precisely the sentence ordered by you and your feeling of waiting for something to find you.
On the other hand, affirming that you "will find a job" allows you, as the desiring subject, to assume your power and, with the exact command, find a job by casualty. 99.99% of occurrences in our life happen by casualty; the question is, who is generating these casualties for you?
Listening is one of the gateways to the occult in initiation, in what is hidden within the word—whereby through dialectic between speaking and saying, you literally see with your ears what the deviation of the sentence is, in what you spoke (literally) and not what you meant. And for this, a rigorous training in listening is required. Seeing with your ears what is hidden in the word. And with other techniques, what is hidden in the situations of your reality.
Just like Hermes Trismegistus, Christ was an initiate as a warrior, merchant, priest, and mage (dia Christou o goistais — Christ the Mage), and the first turn of the mandalic wheel in initiation corresponds to the warrior.
As a warrior, who is an implacable executor par excellence, you wage a ruthless internal combat against the automatisms of the Ego (Self - “I”)—the internal "Other," while externally executing your plan, without falling into passive waiting. If your desire is to find a job, affirming with Pistis that you will find it, and following the steps—crossing what is spoken with what is done—will generate casualties in your favor so that you find the job you desire with your own desire. But this happens by chance. You cause the situation.
This was the execution that Christ operated: he crossed what he spoke with what he did and by chance, having Pistis in his word, he created what he by Agape generated in his reality.
The ego asks: "how" do I find? The initiate states: "what" I desire, because the "how" is a step. The universe has more "hows" than we can imagine. The "how" in initiation is: "how" I feel in relation to "what" I desire to find in reality. It is "how" you feel in relation to what you desire to find/realize. It is not seeing to believe, it is believing to see.
The point when you say: that “you will find a job”, is to cause the encounter of this job by chace on the dense plane, from the subtle plane, being the agent of the cause, the one who caused the casualty. But for this, rigorous training in initiation is required. Applying the true teachings of Christ.
Note: Pistis means credit in Greek and was mistakenly translated in the Western Bible as blind faith.
I appreciate your question and hope to have contributed to your journey on this planet.
NOTE: Please read "casualty" as "chance" throughout the text. I used "casualty" by mistake, but the correct concept I intended to express is CHANCE/LUCK. The term in Spanish is "casualidad".
