I don’t understand what I just read here. But is it that…
The power of magick can make you get laid, make you APPEAR more attractive, but not actually BE ATTRACTIVE?
Aside from the modern ridiculousness, there is a wealth of occult knowledge in hermetic traditions about as above so below and as within so without. The power of magick is infinite, but the goal of the mysteries is different than learning sorcery to transform yourself into a walking god, it was with perfecting and transmuting the nature of the soul.
If you can create that kind of change within your inner reality, you will then be able to easily do things like actually transmute metals, and various substances, as well as be able to change your own physical appearance. If certain grimores and ancient texts are to be interpreted in this context, this was a fringe benefit of the great work, transmutation of the soul.
Think about things like that when you hear legends of transmutations, many obvious, and many not. Many people have walked this path and achieved these things, and we need to remind that as we continue on our path, that these things are achievable, they have been achieved, and if you’re going to achieve it, this is probably a strangely unobstructed period of history for spiritual growth, so make use of it.
Most magicians already affect their visual appearance and do this unconsciously, with their strange notions of self image from emotional weakness and because of their acts as black magicians, and their own inability to properly divorce themselves from the weirdness of what they’re doing. If you let that change who you are, not only will it do that, BUT IT WILL ATTRACT RELATED FUCKED UP THINGS INTO YOUR LIFE.
Sometimes, I think this has to do with how people age so differently from each other to some degree, and I really can’t put my finger on what degree this stops being related directly to your “perception” of the world, and factors it’s “existence”, since those things seem to be tied together in simultaneously at some 6 dimensional level of existence for the soul/over-soul, where reality the quantum illusion is perceived and created at the same time. This is where shit breaks down, and we just have to accept that reality is bullshit, and people like me can only adapt to living in the matrix if we endeavor to become like Neo, and grasp the limitless powers of our own godhood, that know no restraint.
You need to have a self image that will attract what you want, not unintended bullshit, and actually try to pursue a path of magick that would enable you power to evoke deep changes in the universe.
