1 + 1 = 3 of a lot of things, if you chop one of them in half.
Works for chocolate bars, some seedlings, not so much people though sadly.

My sister in law helped me challenge it too. She played the reproduction card. It won of course, thatâs why they have kids.
A little over two years ago I was trying to talk about the same subject with the same people, but I was all seithr. âDude! Ahkc tylhxi-ywgdojvop7wrhhl j clydsslhdo!â
Yesterday I was in complete control of the conversation. We were having a nice time and my brother assumed I did a magic trick without actually seeing it. Thatâs galdur style for sure.
These are things that I already know, but they get truer and truer each time I learn them. Magic is too simple to be fake. Even stage magic is completely real. The observerâs notion of having things figured out is the fake part.

If you say so
Thanks for your concern
Also I dunno why someone would refer to it as a problem. 
Lol
Magick seems to be a wide variety of claims and the contents are really a slush fund of different things ranging from other places in reality as physically lawful as the world we know to foreign forms of consciousness. The trouble Iâve noticed is that there are people whoâll teach that itâs all fungible, and they seem to be of the âpsychologicalâ school where itâs all in your head but at the same time when thatâs the limit of their experience or they havenât met with very distinctly different zones of quality in their experience the categories donât separate. When I tried mental magic and treating things as psychological I noticed that there are a lot of things you just canât do, even hallucinate, of your own volition but which will come with unexpected strength if something wants to come and say hi to you, either during the day or in the middle of the night. Also itâs interesting to see that even rituals that donât seem to have a directly intended effect, when taken up with intensity, usually cause a raft of synchronicities over the next few days.
So the answer might be something like - (with respect to the world we live in) itâs not reductive materialism, we seem to live in a world that better fits some flavor of panpsychism or neutral monism, just that it behaves as rigidly and lawfully most of the time as if it were a naive physicalist universe until those odd moments where either something you did shifts things or your life might hit some sort of jump in the causal terrain and during those times itâs like seeing geometries bubble up in places that theyâre not officially supposed to exist. It seems like the most fast and loose thing is social interaction and maybe because thatâs very specialized conscious circuitry interacting rather than beings from other places trying to move physical objects or things. My guess as to why it often goes sexual as well for people, aside from us often being a bit isolated, is that itâs actually one of the easier things to communicate and words with us usually have us guessing how much of it is them and how much it weâre ad-libbing for them.
Also - is it possible that most of our experiences of contact are aspects of ourselves turning around to face us in second person? Sure. Thatâs another complicating factor though, just that thereâs no reason to believe that this is whatâs happening exclusively. It might well be that different⌠oh⌠conscious agents that weâre comprised of will contact us but in a strange way theyâre just more intimate to us than whatâs outside and if whatâs outside comes to see us it can often be jarring - ie. something as overwhelming as a god or goddess coming to visit you and let you know that theyâre in your life (had that happen and I couldnât mistake it for anything else again) or if something shows up to throttle you for its own benefit. There have been times where Iâve gotten night-time visitations and they seemed to be entities, a bit like very darkside dakinis, who were working on me energetically. That last part, while fascinating when it happens, brings a lot of humility when I realize that most of the really interesting stuff so far hasnât been me âwielding my own powersâ but rather other entities lending me a hand in one way or another.

Go for it
You deserve better attention
Awww, thatâs so sweet. 
Sometimes the rational mind wants to pull you back into that state of mind where magick doesnât exist. It is natural. But then BAM! something impossible happens that puts you back into the reality that magick actually exists. And that feeling is priceless.
Never doubt.

Thats makes a lot of sense. While I donât think itâs all psychological, the mind does play a significant role in magical experience; so much so that I think those different zones that are often obscured with occult terminology, can easily be articulated using scientific principles.
This is why I often donât seperate the two, neither being dismissive of one over the other. However, since they play off of eachother so heavily, one would be remiss to ignore the fact.

Iâve got telepaths who can read my mine up to the minutest detail and know what Iâm going to say next and what Iâm going to do next. They know lies from truths up to the minutest detail. There is no escaping it they just know whatâs in my mind every time. I can assure you magick is very real

Magick is real!
Years ago I was known as Doubting Thomas in the rhp Magickal Order I belonged to. After a certain point you canât really doubt anymore. Coincidence, happenstance and luck just donât cut it anymore. Magick works.
That said, Iâm so fortunate I was really skeptical, because otherwise Iâd have ended up like all the other ineffective âyou-have-to-believe-or-it-wonât-workâ flower and incense types. Needless to say, I have always maintained a deep and abiding hatred of those joyously plentiful and sickeningly ignorant cunts.

You donât necessarily have to believe that magick will work, you just have to believe it enough that you consider it worth your time to practice it and put in the requisite steps in visualization.
There are plenty of people who wonât bother with magick simply because they think they âknowâ it wonât work, so why should they even make the effort on the impossibility that it might actually work.
