"Demons Of Magick" formulation of desire

In his book, Gordon writes about the need to make up desires in the present tense. I’m a little confused by this, because you’re asking a demon to do something, but you’re talking about it as if it’s already happened. It’s like calling a friend to help you find money, but you say you already have money. Therefore, I don’t quite understand how to properly address a demon with a wish in the present tense. Can anyone explain?

I understand how this works, for example, if you write in the present tense about this desire in ritual 1. but in the case of ritual 2/3, there is a direct appeal to the demon, so it is not entirely clear how to combine conversion and desire in the present tense

I was just talking about this the other day: they say "the future never comes" - that’s the problem, imo.

You can say “money IS coming to me”, try that.

It’s pretty confusing.
For example, we are doing an evocation of the demon Agares so that he returns the human to us. First, we welcome Agares, but after that we need to give him an assignment to bring this human back. And here begins what confuses me. How should it sound in the present tense? Agares, that person is coming back to me. Something like that?
In fact, when I started thinking about it more, it seemed to me the most logical.

Yep, you got it. It’s a different way of thinking, but you have t avoid making statements of lack, as you will manifest more of what you put your attention on, bringing more lack.

It’s worth reading this:

What do you think is better? To say that something is coming to you or to say that you have it?

For example:

She loves me

Her love is coming to me

The job is coming to me

I have the job

I think it is better to say it like it is already here like “she loves me” or “I have the job”

She loves me.

If you did an interview: I have the job
if you are waiting for job applications to get interviews: The perfect job is coming.

Basically affirmations and law of attraction?

Same principle, applied to asking entities for assistance. I guess it wouldn’t be a “law” if it only applied to affirmations
