Well, I posted this here recently…

But I was tired of not getting a response, so I decided to tack it onto this thread where it has just as much right to be, to see what opinions you guys were ready to give me on this subject.
Original Post (with minor editing)
In one of my conversations with E.A. he confirmed something I had long known, that the entities we know of as spirits/angels/demons are made of pure consciousness. But it’s a really tough question when you ask what the nature of consciousness is…People do not seem to agree on anything regarding this.
However, I had an experience lately with my girlfriend trying to open up a sigil that made me think there was more to this abramelin square. I open sigils, but I don’t know if I can say I’ve felt a sigil come alive with things a bit more intense than a little flashing on a square, but my girlfriend seems to be doing that when she opens this square with her third eye. I have no idea, but she said something peculiar about how she kept seeing a similar pattern coming from one part of the square and tracing itself over certain letters, and into the nothingness of the square. At first I thought this was the sigil of a spirit manifesting visibly like how most people report telepathically receiving sigils. But the more I thought about it, the less I became sure of my original hypothesis.
Most squares that I am familiar with are balanced. They aren’t missing letters. But, I have been turned onto a new technique in a book I found about experiments with chaos magick. Although they were of a really dark nature much of the time, I always like to re-purpose death magick for the purposes of well being. As someone who has long practiced this form of magick, I always try to apply the novel ideas these risk taking magicians come up with.
The technique I repurposed came from a European Author, who would insert the name of the victim with a demon intended to cause a specific malody, or a number of demons to make the attack more powerful, and to have the demons cause a health problem that was a culmination of their destructive energies on those parts of the body.
To understand how I’m repurposing it, I will explain the theory in action I have come up with.
These squares, are in some form a gateway to a current of pure consciousness, which is essentially what any spirit comes from, or rather exists out of. If you study quantum physics, you will understand the power that consciousness has can put any nuclear weapon to shame. This consciousness is self aware, as is just about any spiritual entity you will come in contact with. This is what spirits really are, not how we perceive them. And what we are doing when we put a name in a square with the name of any type of spirit, is we are inserting them into this spiritual current, where it will slowly overpower and overtake their energy and life in a grand way.
This can obviously be used for benefit, when we understand the theoretical mechanics of the operation, regardless of whether or not it’s true, the grand design I have laid out imparts an understanding, and this understanding can be made to manifest most probably by intent and belief, but this is really neither here nor there, you understand what I’m getting at by this point.
However my question comes from something slightly different…Is it possible to do more than open this square, if it is tied to some spiritual self aware current, this seems like it’s representative of a powerful spirit of some nature, at least that is implied to me. So can it be evoked? If so, what would we be evoking? Is there any way to write your own name in the missing letters of the square, or is this basically playing chemistry experiements with magick? I think the only good answer I can give, is to say we may never know without a blind evocation. But I’m curious to know what you all think of this, and have any pointers you can give me on any of this.
Best of Luck
