After reading Draja's Mickaharic "Magic Simplified", I have decided to become a true magician, someone who has access to the non-physical plane, is able to perform some true magic and cast spells.
First, I'll make these following changes to my daily life and practice them everyday:
Complete Relaxation - To neutralize tension, increase awareness, and reduce unwanted thoughts. This is done by relaxing every muscle in the body specifically those muscles that are tense.
Diaphragm Breathing - To increase energy intake, regeneration, and conservation, also helps the body relax more. This is done by breathing on your stomach instead of chest, your stomach must expand when breathing.
Thought Identification - To increase decision making abilities, reduce emotional lag, and neutralize mental chaos. Subconsciously identify which thoughts are yours and which are not. Gently ignore those thoughts that are not yours.
Paying Attention (Focus) - To promote better conversations, increase patience, and higher awareness. Notice every bit of detail in your environment as preparation for astral projection, or completely focus on the single task you're doing.
Acceptance - To maximize patience, remain grounded in reality, and increase decision making skills. Accept the existence and importance of both the boring and the exciting; the chaotic and the mundane; the imperfect and the ideal.
Aside from the changes in my daily life above, I shall also undergo voluntary training in the following magical activities.
Empty Mind/Total Concentration Breathing (Demon slayer reference, anyone?) - To increase spiritual attunement and mental efficiency. Practice at least 15 minutes of deep meditation where you think and sense nothing, until the only things left in the world is your existence and your breathing.
Astral Projection - To see and explore the non-physical world grounded in reality and not self-delusion. With a completely relaxed body and mind, will your non-physical self to slowly float outside your body, as if you're deep inside the pool and the water itself is making you float, then notice the floating sensations.
This is a difficult exercise, not in the sense that only the coolest people can do it, but in the sense that it will take a lot of patience and training to complete.
For every difficult exercise, imagine as if you are climbing a mountain, you want to reach the top, you know that you will reach it somehow, but who knows when? So keep walking, step by step until you have finally arrived.
Visualization - To develop the imagination and enhance the connection between the non-physical and physical world. Perfectly visualize an object or anything coming to you, then release your imagination into the non-physical plane, not thinking or remembering about it anymore until it's yours.
After having learned and mastered the above magical activities, it's now time to learn new and more powerful magical abilities.
Neighborhood Astral Projection - Allows you to see spiritual beings and the secrets of this world. Project your non-physical body into your neighborhood, grounded in reality by memorizing the details on the physical world.
Thought Transference - Allows you to communicate secretly over long distances. Release a mental message to someone using your thought, but the message should only be just a few words. Very similar to telepathy.
Invisible Hand (Re:Zero reference, anyone?) - Allows you to move physical objects without physically moving them. Command a non-physical tentacle underneath your belly button to move physical objects without touching them.
The path of a true magician is a very challenging and difficult path that requires lots of time and patience. However, great things await to those who successfully became a magician, more than being able to cast spells and interact with the non-physical world, they also live a fulfilling life.
True magicians aren't simply enlightened people, they are spiritually enlightened people, which is in a completely different league than just an ordinary enlightened person.
They are humans who have transcended the limitations of space and physics, those who live in a vastly different world than our own.
This is exactly why we have to become a magician — to experience, understand, and see the world on another level.
While completing the daily life and voluntary training of a magician, we are going to summarize and write the entire magical processes involved in doing magical activities. We have to ensure the exact processes for our magic to work with the highest efficiency.
This involves re-reading the "Magic Simplified" ebook again, as well as reading other legitimate magician's book from Draja Mickaharic and other trusted authors with more than ten years of experience in the field of magic.
After becoming a full-fledged magician, we will start reading and practicing witchcraft, which requires the involvement of nature and some knowledge of history in addition to spirituality.
We have a long journey ahead of us, it is in our best interest to enjoy the process of learning and try new things along the way.
"Being a true magician is different from doing parlor tricks, it is about understanding the world rather than tricking the audience."
"In addition to the magical activities above, a true magician can fly in the non-physical world, contact spiritual beings, and usually has a really good voice."
"Life is much more magical to those who believe in magic."
