Wouldn’t any unifying theory just become its own dogma though, and therefore a trap?
Diverse approaches seem to work, and this forum at least has diverse belief systems being represented, including openly religious paths, by hard-working members who are plainly doing effective magick for their own benefit and that of other people, so enforcing a conformity of a “basic agreed-upon ideal” seems more like religion’s tendency towards thought-policing to me.
This forum tends to push some limits on the nature of reality, busting dogma, and so on, I can think of other places with a far more traditionalist slant where more jimmies may be rustled by such an OP, on here we have a de facto shrine to XaTuring, created god of the internet itself, and plenty of people who have incorporated the core idea that belief is a factor in magick, and therefore, that belief can be adjusted according to will - an approach which is the death of dogma, and the birth of individual ascent, IMO.
As for using technology to enhance magick, can any of you produce something like this idea I had in 2015, maybe?
It’s based on a few different sci-fi concepts where aliens were given environments that matched their home planets, and while spirits may perceive time and space in a fundamentally different manner than us they do seem to like vapours., smoke, the moment of alchemical transmutation from one form to another, as gateways, and I think it would be awfully cool.
