Like a Prayer

What happens when your external reality is incongruent with your internal desire? When everything that can go wrong will go wrong. When relationships are full of strife and you experience setback after setback. Your perception of life becomes anxious. You watch your reality slip through your hands unaffected by your attempts to mold it. Your life 'happens.' Problems happen to you. Accidents 'happen.' Life is perceived to be directed by fate, by God, by the external. Your reality becomes shaped by your belief in an extrinsic design.

Magick counteracts happenstance by using a psychological spectrum to shape reality. Using the spectral shades of perception, belief, state, attention, and expectation an individual can affect his reality. Normally, the common reality bending magickal procedure used is Gnosis, but Prayer has an ability to utilize the same exact mechanisms.

Hypnosis in a Nutshell

The definition of hypnosis is different depending on who you ask, even among skilled hypnotists. The reasons for this is legion, but I think I've found a way to explain hypnosis in a way that anyone can understand.

The main problem with hypnosis is the confusion between the hypnotic process and what is generally thought of as the 'hypnotic state.'

Identifying Carrier Waves of Hypnotic Experience

I know. WTF. "Identifying Carrier Waves of Hypnotic Experience". That's a hell of a title isn't it? I'll break it down, but first, I'm going to pose a question:

What do a roller coaster, guided meditation, any given musical composition, a speech, a movie, or a story all have in common? As you might suspect by the unoriginality of my approach that they are all carrier waves of hypnotic experience.

Don't look so surprised. I'm crazy.
