#ceremonialmagic — Public Fediverse posts

Scrolling through occult accounts on BlueSky, I saw someone mention King Paimon. Now, that would not be a problem if I had not seen him in 50 million horror movies, 50 billion horror games, and just about every ceremonial magician on social media has evoked them. Though I am satanic, I am tired of people using different instances of the same prototypical entities. Magical entities are abstractions for patterns of different aspects. Demons are a cultural and mnemonic way of modeling these patterns. But they don’t have to be demons at all. Or angels. Or anything that corresponds to an occult theme, trope, or motif even. I just find it funny. Magic is predicated on will and making something different. How can you summon the will to wield magic to alter reality, yet lack the will to innovate in your practice?

It’s really time to retire most of the occult genre. The Book of Black Magic was published originally in 1898 and widely distributed in 1910. When I take a look at the evocations and sigils people use for King Paimon, I notice it has elements from The Book of Black Magic. Can we please use something else?

I just took a look at BlueSky occult profiles and feeds. Sighs. Regrettably, services and sites that use the ActivityPub protocol are the least fucked up and hateful. That is a very low bar considering there are fucked up people on here, too; however, they, at least, attempt to maintain some level of coherent discourse instead of degenerating into hateful, incoherent cries for murder. How fitting that the insane occultists, who are Twitter expats, remain on BlueSky. I have a sneaking suspicion they are on BlueSky and not ActivityPub sites because people who maintain their own instances enforce heavy moderation.

Honestly, the ability to moderate your own site is why I am on here via my WordPress site. It’s wonderful. Again, this is a very low bar considering that independently run IRC servers, XAMPP servers, sites, RSS feeds, and forums were the norm back in the day, and people weren’t nearly as neurotic or antagonistic.

The dedicated occult instances on Mastodon — I don’t mean the profiles on mastodon.social — isolate themselves and tend to have a genuine sense of community. The occult profiles and feeds on BlueSky seem to just be another branch of Twitter where they deliberately seek out and call for the murder of people. I wish I was kidding. You’d think I was talking about Nazis. Nope, those folks lean heavily towards the left. Mastodon leans towards the left; however, outright crying out for murder is something you probably won’t run into.

Here’s the insane thing: I have Antisocial Personality Disorder; however, I understand that I live and am dependent on human civilization. Therefore, if human civilization does well, I do well, so it is in my interest to be prosocial. It’s logical. It’s pure lunacy that the Blue Sky occult anarchists are more lunatic than me. They’re behaving against their own interests. That seems to be the theme of America.

Evolution is a funny thing. Because it takes more to hunt and catch prey than to avoid predation, predators frequently evolve to be intelligent. However, humans are predators that evolved prosocial tendencies because it contributes to our fitness. So, humans are an interesting duality of cruelty and empathy. We’re all predators because we’re sapient. It’s a delicate dance on the edge of a blade wet and slippery with blood. I’m cynical. The point is even I recognize the benefit of human society and compromising within society to benefit. They don’t.

It’s fascinating yet horrifying to see the occult niche on social media platforms—especially Discord—spiral into insanity, suicide, homicide, violence, and drug addiction. The interesting thing is that many of them are aware of how toxic they are. Honestly, an authoritarian style of moderating many of these communities, where facts were disregarded, drug use encouraged, and mental illness enabled, set fire to many of those communities. Now, many of those people feel displaced, disjointed, and dissatisfied with the places for them to go, yet they are the ones that lit the fire. I don’t conform if there is not a logical reason to do so, and being a nonconformist saved me from spiraling into destruction.

Yes, yes, my previous post was about this blog being defunct; however, I don’t want to post or talk about this stuff from my main blog, so here we go.

I have issues with tarot cards. To be completely honest, my issues are exacerbated by people doubting my authenticity because I am not obsessed with occult symbols or talk endlessly about things like tarot cards, astrology, or grimoires. I wish I were kidding, but I’ve had little cabals, guilds, and cliques of people following me around the Internet for over 16 years at this point trying to prove I’m not legitimate. From what I can tell, it is because I refuse to join any occult cults or use systems that came from cult leaders. They find the idea of magic without an occult or religious system absolutely threatening or harmful to their self-esteem. I think it’s a weird manifestation of the sunk cost fallacy in that many of them have spent a lot of money, at the very least, if not large portions of their lives on these things. But, I digress.

One, tarot cards are overly complex and superfluous for no reason. Two, people who use them aren’t actually interested in whether the predictions are true. You can implement something like tarot cards without tarot cards. Personally, I like playing cards over tarot cards, and I’ve known some people to use Magic The Gathering Cards. In any case, we can treat denotations of magical paradigms as ontologies and ontological statements or expressions. As such, we can regard them as languages. A way to think about it is that I can store demons, angels, tarot cards, correspondences, etc. into a database, such as the MySQL database of this site. What does that imply? That implies that we can model magical entities as a mathematical set of tuples, i.e., an alphabet. The ability to store entities from a grimoire in a database.

Keep in mind that this site is powered by PHP and MySQL. If a person were to create a table in their database schema for demons, your ability to see that on the site would be an empirical case for the ability to do encode that information as tuples. The point is that we can treat the properties of these entities and the entity itself as an alphabet and words, respectively. That means that magical entities and correspondences are components of a tuple joined by operators to create relationships and rules. We can call that a language. As such, expressions and statements – such as the magical entity itself, can be expressed via a base 2 system, i.e., binary. An empirical case for this is the ability to store magical entities in a database, on a high level, which is digitally encoded as bytes sent across the Internet which you read through a CMS powered by SQL.

An example of a base 2 system is an ensemble of coins where each coin has two possible states. Conventionally, we can think of them as yes or no. Anything that you can store digitally is binary. Even an image. So, you are not necessarily restricted to yes or no questions, for you can abstract those. You can abstract different lengths and frequencies of yes and no into any pattern that you want. The point is that any person can create any prototypical pattern that they want, that’s a high-level abstraction of binary states. There’s no particular reason to use tarot cards or an occult divination system at all.

Here’s the other thing we know about how psychic and magical phenomena work: It’s based on subjective meaning. There’s a stronger connection if something has meaning to you, and it is subjective. There’s a larger dissonance between the prototypical patterns of a magical system and gestalt patterns and prototypical patterns of your behavior that emerge from your subjective experience. There’s a technique called a soul mirror in Hermetic schools of thought. Looking at your experience through a Hermetic magical system and language reflects back to you a version of yourself through the eyes of a Hermetic system; however, ChatGPT can actually be used as a type of mirror, too. One thing that I have been experimenting with is having ChatGPT analyze my journal entries and identify prototypical patterns that can be used in lieu of typical archetypes that show up in occultism. Again, you can treat the attributes of these patterns as tuples and reduce it down to a binary system that can be paired with coin divination practices.

It’s not just an aesthetic issue, it is an epistemological issue. When you are trying to scientifically prove something, you don’t actually prove it. What was drilled into my head is that science does not prove anything, because science is inductive and not deductive; therefore, nothing can be 100% in science. Instead, science supports hypotheses and theories. In addition to that, you aim to debunk your own hypothesis. This means, if the hypothesis is that the cards have a message in them, we should be able to disprove this. Since this is purely a statistical problem, this makes it falsifiable where a lay person can easily do Null Hypothesis Significance testing.

Randomness isn’t chaos. Randomness is when there is an equal probability of something happening. If there is a pool of events and all the events have the same probability of happening, that is an example of randomness. Information is an inverse property to randomness, where there is some type of sequence and correlation among pairs, i.e., a joint probability. Information is an ordered sequence of the joint probability of two things joined by an operator that denotes a correlation. So, that means if we are testing for the presence of information and a message in a spread of cards, we are looking for correlations, patterns, and redundancy above chance.

Say that a tarot card reader is able to reject the null hypothesis and show that there is a message in the cards. Does this mean that it was the tarot cards after all? No. What is actually happening? When someone with precognition senses the future, what is happening is that the information is being written to their brain and body. Biological systems are very noisy, and they are stochastic and chaotic. There is a lot of randomness. Similar to how random events are altered outside a person’s body through magic, precognition orders random events inside a person’s body.

The synaptic transmission of neurons—whether a neuron fires or not—is inherently stochastic. For example, the exact timing and number of vesicles released in response to each action potential can vary due to stochastic factors. These factors may include random fluctuations in the concentration of calcium ions or variations in the availability of vesicles for release. In addition, the probability of a neurotransmitter molecule binding to a receptor depends on factors such as the concentration of neurotransmitter in the synaptic cleft, the affinity of the neurotransmitter for its receptor, and the presence of other molecules that may compete for receptor binding. By manipulating stochastic, noisy, and probabilistic factors such as these, precognitive information is written to the person’s brain through the activation of neural pathways.

Because of this, probability manipulation can be used to influence a person’s thoughts. By manipulating the probability of them making a particular decision, you can influence processes such as synaptic transmission and the firing of neural pathways. For obvious ethical reasons, I do not use this technique often and I do not teach it. In this political climate, who knows what people would do. I can compel people with that technique, but it requires one enter into a head space where you are okay with total domination of another person, and that persona is hard to shake off.

This means that when we can reject the null hypothesis in a tarot card reading regarding whether the cards convey a message or not, the power isn’t coming from the tarot cards or any magical system. Rather, a person is using precognition to sense the future. They are correlating that with entropic systems to encode information in an external source. Similar to how noise gets ordered in their brain, the entropic system becomes ordered to encode information. That implies there isn’t anything special about tarot cards. Instead, it is a combination of psychokinesis and precognition. Of course that implies a level of psychokinesis and precognition is necessary, though, a particular system is not.

For example, my husband is a diviner. He has precognitive abilities, empathic abilities, and small forms of psychokinesis, which manifest through his use of cards as a tool. The cards that frequently come up when we’ve been able to reject the null hypothesis for me are:

• King of Hearts
• Queen of Spades
• King of Diamonds
• Queen of Clubs
• King of Clubs

These cards frequently come up when my husband does a reading in a controlled experiment. We have an automatic card shuffler to eliminate any bias introduced from how we may shuffle the cards. My husband calls them the Five Monarchs, and he says that they represent five different personas that I have. He is correlating his empathic abilities with an ensemble that has entropy to encode information about my subconscious mind. These cards come up frequently beyond chance. Many occultists who have run into me are probably familiar with who is my Queen of Spades aspect that exemplifies the Evil Queen archetype.

While we are on the topic, formats like JPG and Computer Vision (CV) use Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) to convert blocks of pixel data from the spatial domain (the original image) into the frequency domain (represented by coefficients). It does this by decomposing the image into a sum of cosine functions of different frequencies. The DCT represents the image data as a set of coefficients corresponding to different frequencies. Lower frequencies represent smooth variations in color and intensity, while higher frequencies represent rapid changes, such as edges or fine details. This means that any occult image that can be encoded as a JPEG is composed of sines and cosines, indicating that the image possesses harmonics. This means that any sigil or magical seal encoded in a JPG format is an image composed of sines and cosines that can be minimally represented with n modulo 2. If you encode the magical texts or magical seals into a digital image, it has a harmonic and binary representation.

I’ve been experimenting with the interplay of harmonics, entropy, and image formats to manipulate Johnson–Nyquist noise or randomness from beam splitters and laser pointers, with the aim of conjuring digital images and sigils directly through magic. My endeavors have involved extensive research and experimentation. However, regrettably, given the increasing radicalization within occult and paranormal communities, it’s too dangerous, irresponsible, and unethical to allow this knowledge to fall into their hands.

Entropy is not necessarily randomness, either, although they are often used interchangeably. Randomness and entropy become interchangeable when entropy is maximized. Entropy is a measurement of an ensemble and the permutations of that ensemble. A system that can be configured differently is thus an entropic system; however, that doesn’t necessarily imply randomness. Randomness implies one configuration being just as likely as another one. Having different permutations doesn’t imply all permutations are equally likely. Factorials can be used to calculate the number of possible arrangements or configurations of a system, which is closely related to its entropy. A maximally entropic system would be random; however, a random system is not necessary for there to a psychic influence, for there just needs to be enough degrees of freedom and entropy.

I think tarot cards denote a particular culture. It’s a signifier of cultural membership. It signals to everyone that you are into occultism and tarot card readers act as guides, so it denotes a particular level of spiritual authority. Tarot card readers would thus be equivalent to an evangelical that does intercessory prayer. Seeing a tarot card reader would be like a Christian seeking a pastor.

We don’t call Music Physics. We call Music Music, and we classify it as an art. To me, magic is the part of the underlying metaphysical aspects. The problem that I have is occultists’ belief that they have a dominance on magic such that people are starting to believe you cannot practice magic without occultism. Honestly, occultism is going down really, really dark paths, and I don’t believe you can spiritually progress while practicing occultism, so, for me, it is imperative to unlink magic and occultism.

A tarot card reader that claims they rely on intuition is a fake. If there were a message encoded in the cards, we could measure the frequencies of particular cards to see if they were random without the interpretation of the tarot card reader, regardless of whether we knew what the message meant. The patterns would be there.

It’s an aesthetic and a token of cultural membership.

People are not as mystically, magically, or psychically disconnected as we think they are. Magic that you can interact with is not like a ‘set it and forget it’ thing. It stays associated with you per your potential to interact with it. I’m seeing many people who have the wrong idea about servitors…

Locality can be interchanged with causality in a lot of cases, so we can say entities are connected if they can cause a change in each other. For example, if I throw a ball at someone, there is a scalar of speed and a vector of velocity that carries the ball through the air and hits them in the head; thereby causing a change in their state. If I threw a ball at a person from my house, and they were on the other side of the world, the ball would hit the wall and not them. There is no connection because they are not local. Systems are connected on some level if they can cause a change.

The above example is ephemeral because there is no prolonged connection beyond those moments. Magic is more persistent because a person can interact with a spell they’ve cast or an entity they are interacting with per intent. If you create a spell, servitor, etc., and you can interact with the spell or the servitor, you’re still connected. If you can control a servitor, you are still connected; therefore, the servitor is a part of you. Since the servitor is connected to you via causal relationships, that servitor you created can exert an influence backward on you. What does that mean? That means if you set a servitor after someone and can control that servitor, there is a locality between that person, the servitor, and your mind, so a magician can get into your head or influence the servitor to influence you via that open channel. You can cut by cutting the connection to the servitor; however, that implies you can’t control the entity. It’s fully autonomous. If you cut off your hand, your hand is not a part of you; however, you can’t move that hand anymore. Your ability to exert a causal influence on something implies you are in that thing’s locality and that there exists a potential inverse where you can be pushed back on and influenced. Spells connect things, and servitors are persistent daemons. You are disconnected from a system, network, or entity if there is no potential causal relationship to imply a local connection.

We can think of the psychic plane as having systems of connected concepts and experiences. Personally, I am skeptical of the realism of astrology and astral planes, so I believe that any celestial metaphor or analogy should have some support. We can point to an area that is a cluster of hateful concepts and experiences and we can say that the influence of those clusters is the dominant force for that domain. We say that things are in a solar system based on something called a hill sphere.

The Hill sphere is a concept in celestial mechanics that defines a region around a celestial body (like a planet or a moon) within which its gravitational influence dominates over the gravitational influence of another body. We can simulate a psychic analogy via Graph Theory and force-drawing algorithms like Force Atlas. That will render something that looks like a semantic constellation. In this, there is an attractive force on connecting nodes after a random repulsive force is exerted on every node on the graph. The forces acting on each node are continuously recalculated based on their positions and the strengths of connections (edges) between them. This iterative process continues until the forces reach equilibrium, meaning that the nodes settle into stable positions where the forces balance out. With this, we can see a clustering of concepts, archetypes, patterns, experiences, etc via associativity and their correspondences. Within clusters formed by the Force Atlas algorithm, certain nodes may emerge as more central or influential than others. These central nodes often have higher degrees of connectivity within their respective clusters, meaning they are more strongly connected to other nodes in the cluster. Nodes with higher connectivity within a cluster are akin to bodies with larger hill spheres in celestial mechanics because they exert greater influence over the surrounding nodes within their cluster. So, there is a weak analogical connection between psychic bodies hill spheres in celestial bodies.

While we are physically in the same place, when people engage with psychic planes, a part of them is moving within those domains where there is an implicit influence. Mass is a property that resists acceleration, so we can think of a psychic analogy as what we will or will not do. If you are psychically being displaced as you move towards a domain that exerts a greater influence, you are accelerating towards that thing which implies there is an inverse relationship between the influence of your will and that body. You are paying for your magic through sacrificing bits of yourself, in other words, which includes your sanity.

You know… after being involved in occultism since I was 10, weird has gotten… well, boring. All occultists seem to be the same, and many of the ones I knew in high school are still exactly like they were in high school. Weird is so normalized, it’s, well… normal. I’m bored to tears with occultism. Like, so fucking bored with it. If I come across yet another pseudo-mystical cipher that’s essentially just a doodle from someone’s psychedelic drug trip, or another set of sigils lazily thrown together using Austin Spare’s substitution method and embellished with Theban or Malachim script within a basic geometric shape, on a page with bones and skeletons, I swear I will fucking scream. My first formal grimoire that I kept in high school had scripts written in the Malachim alphabet. That was high school! The runes of Elder Futhark always felt dissonant and ominous to me, so I never messed with that. I only use systems that are resonant with me, which, at the moment, are systems I’ve created myself.

It’s like, “Oh, another deer skull mask. Oh, another basic ass monoalphabetic cipher that’s not even a polyalphabetic cipher just because it looks spooky.” By the way, any system of sigils that’s a monoalphabetic cipher is basically ASCII. The sigils these people create aren’t even comprehensive ideograms to capture the basic contours of the experience, so they are mystically useless, and they pretty much imitate the grapheme of the English alphabet.

These completely normal, mediocre people honestly believe they are edgy and weird. They’re boring. They are not innovating or transforming anything. They are just churning out things typical of that genre. They are living memes. I’m so fucking bored looking at occultists’ work nowadays.

I’m skeptical. Unless your metaphysical assertions and claims are epistemologically justifiable, I will regard it as fiction. If a person is insisting on the epistemological validity of an entire paradigm and theories for that paradigm, I am going to need Bayesian Statistics in addition to null hypothesis significance testing. I’m not one of those people who says that everything must be empirical, considering my metaphysical love is mathematics, and that is a priori, intuitive, not empirical, and objective. The bizarre thing about mathematics is that it is epistemologically not empirical; however, it is objective because 1+1 will always equal 2. An iconic property of fictions is that they are subjective, intersubjective, and dynamic – they mutate. Mathematics is not empirical; however, it is tautological, so it remains true in all cases.

Philosophically, the intuitive nature of mathematical knowledge is evidence, albeit weak evidence, for the existence of an ideal and noetic sphere. I believe that the level of intuition for conceptual mathematical entities is related to the intuition that goes into my psychic perception. I think that is why many prolific magicians are also polymaths. To my knowledge, some parapsychologists are exploring this; however, I have little evidence for that, so take that with a grain of salt.

Ontologically, I am flexible; however, I will treat the magical and occult paradigm as a convenient fiction. Ontology encompasses propositions about the existence of something, whereas epistemology is how we know that the proposition is valid. It is how we determine if that belief is justified. While I am deeply into magic and I understand that the boundaries between reality, illusion, and fiction are not as sharp as we would like to think, I make sure never to lose touch with reality.

At this point in my life as a magician, I am less interested in book clubs and creepy podcasts and more interested in replication and experimentation that I carry out myself. I’m skeptical and cynical. I will interact with occult and magical systems in the same way I would interact with Marvel, Warhammer 40K, the DC universe, etc. A lot of people clutch their pearls over that and like to argue that their paradigms, currents, traditions, and religions are “real”. Again, if you cannot scientifically prove to me their existence, they’re fiction to me. They are convenient fictions that people can use to produce effects; however, there is a tenuous connection between the existential import of that being and the effects since it is mediated through the intentions, expectations, and beliefs of a person. That’s where I am at.

I explored the more woo parts of occultism and the paranormal as a teenager and in my 20s. As someone in their 30s, I am too old to be playing pretend. And, I am deeply annoyed by millienals and Gen X’ers who are still fucking LARPing. We are too damn old.

This is one of my rather intimate posts. I have not decided whether I will post it publicly or privately. I am leaning towards the public. We shall see. It depends on where this post goes and where it ends up. I am experiencing a bout of existential loneliness, again. It may be triggered by watching magicians in my cohort cycle back, again. Alan Wake 2 gave me a different way of looking at circles. I kept thinking that people are stuck in a loop that starts and ends where it begins. This isn’t a loop. It’s a spiral where people can spiral upwards and ascend or downwards and descend into self-destruction. The insidious illusion of magic and magical communities is a sublime narrative, typically backed by some mythology, that makes people feel as if they are working towards something meaningful, sublime, and beyond them that will transform the world. Growing up in a religious and esoteric family, I was cynical because that sentiment is endemic to every spiritual and esoteric community and it normally preyed on people’s need to belong.

I was born with psychic abilities, and I discovered that I was different when I was 7. When I showed other people my abilities as a kid, I was punished, abused, and isolated. It wasn’t that they didn’t believe me; rather, they had a negative attitude about my very existence. Ever since I was a kid, I could generate blue sparks from my hands. When I realized I could do this, as a kid, I thought it was cool, so I showed off. I could also send jolts of energy through people by touching them. That was my first set of abilities that manifested at a young age.

The blue light and sparks don’t do anything on their own. Unlike in television shows, when I hit objects with it, it does nothing. The best it can do is change the electrostatic properties of things. That isn’t to say that is the scope of my abilities. Just the blue light I can generate doesn’t do much other than glow. But, it is flashy, so whenever I want someone to believe me, lighting up my hands is the first thing that I do. Considering other people can see it and they react to it, I know it is not a hallucination. Will you ever see a recording of me doing any of this? No.

According to my husband, my eyes glow, too. I am not quite sure how it works. One of the questions is if my eyes are glowing why don’t I see it, and how is that possible without blinding me? When my intent is a ball of entropy or randomness where the intent is to make all outcomes equally likely, it causes a distortion in light that shimmers. I normally am not vocal about these things because, for some reason, it sets people off. I have literally had a little group of people follow me around for years and years trying to disprove my existence.

That started this existential search for trying to figure out why I am the way I am when I was 10. I found out answers I wish I hadn’t, but that is a whole other thing. I can’t see past the betrayal enough to type coherently about that. I am seeing millennials who are as old as me who have been involved with paranormal communities for just as long cycling back to the boards they visited as teens, and I realized that they are spiraling.

My husband believes that magic is increasing in the world and that my psychological problems are because I run from issues. He has seen me do experiment after experiment trying to disprove the paranormal and the opposite happening where my reaction turns into me trying to gaslight myself, which is when he steps in. I don’t face things, and I do not face myself, so my husband believes that the key for me dealing with things is to face that I’m a paranormal entity living in a very weird world.

There was a distressing moment in my life where I tried to run away from an issue and paranormal forces created a teleological point where all roads led me to the same path. It was like walking through the front door and into the living room from the bedroom door instead of outside. I’ve experienced a less fantastical version of that looping behavior. When I tried to leave a city, completely coincidental and random events led me back there, though I had literally flown to the other side of the country. Now, married to my soul mate, I realized the looping was guiding me towards him.

Some people say I am insane. Honestly, I’d rather be insane than any of this being real. I’m more comfortable with the idea of this all being a delusion than it being real, but the facts line up, and no matter how many times I do experiments, the results are the same. When I was younger, I used to personalize it. I used to think that this was something I was going through; however, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized, it is actually this country. America is an occultic nation, and everyone here has skeletons in their past. No one is “normal,” and the mundane is just a facade. An illusion. For some reason, it doesn’t make me less existentially distressed. It actually does the opposite.

Do I believe in fate? Not in the conventional sense of the word. Think of the swing of a pendulum. As the pendulum swings, it traces a chaotic trajectory where the path it takes is related to where the you start the swing, so creates a bifurcation that is determined by the initial point of the swing; however, with each iteration of the swing, the pendulum runs out of energy and it spirals inward. Eventually, all points will lead to the final state of the pendulum hanging straight down because it ran out of energy. We can say that the inevitable and final state of the pendulum will be in that position, so we can think of that as a type of teleology. The intuitive assumption would be that running out of energy would be denoted by 0, therefore, 0 is typically an attractor. In actuality, 0 is usually a repeller. 1 is an attractor. An intuitive way to think about it is that something will happen, albeit we may not know what, so the odds of something happening are always 1. Therefore, all outcomes are attracted to 1. That is called a fixed point attractor, and it is a property of dynamical and chaotic systems. The ability for magical and psychic forces to create order, correlations, symmetries, and make one outcome more or less likely than another is an example of creating an attractor I.e. an orbital. It’s the result of chaos. We also see it in resonant systems.

We can think of someone like me as having a particular natural frequency, and we can think of external magical forces and systems as having a frequency close to my natural frequency. The fixed point attractor in this scenario would be a stable oscillation amplitude and phase. Once the system reaches this state, it would maintain a constant amplitude of oscillation. The amplitude and phase of the oscillation become fixed points, attracting the system towards a stable resonant state. That means I resonate with magic and am dynamically pulled towards paths with maximum magical action within stochastic processes where there are multiple possible paths. Nature minimizes or maximizes action. Why is this the case? My guess is that physical properties of my body match higher-dimensional patterns such that I am sensitive like iron is sensitive magnetic fields.

One of the reasons why I am skeptical of the conventional ideas of an afterlife or reincarnation is that it’s predicated on a sequential nature of time where we are born, we die, and we experience an afterlife. However, psychic abilities are temporally non-local; therefore, they exist outside of time. For example, a person who is clairvoyant and post-cognitive can psychically perceive events in the past that happened before they were born. And, there has been evidence in the journals of people who are psychic where the person not only had flashes of their death, but they also had flashes of their own funeral. The journals were found after their funeral. It means that the person had an OBE where they were observing their own funeral, albeit, at the time, they were alive. This means an aspect of us exists on a higher-dimensional plane before we are born and after we die that we can access while we are alive. Life and death are biological terms we apply to mortal things. This entity cannot die because it was never born or lives in a biological sense within the realm of mortals; therefore, it is immortal.

I do not think our souls migrate from body to body; instead, I think our physical bodies are lower-dimensional instances of a pattern, i.e., an entity. Think of it like this: squares and triangles are different shapes, and we can have an infinite number of different squares and different triangles that are different from each other. However, they are all instances of shapes. But, shape is an abstraction. All the squares are not the same nor are the squares triangles; however, all squares and triangles are instances of shapes, and all the different instances of squares are shapes. I don’t think we have individual souls that migrate; instead, I think we are different instances of a pattern that’s connected via a directed acyclic graph. People involved in Machine Learning would recognize directed acyclic graphs because they create a neural network architecture. In this case, I think it creates a psychic network architecture that connects different lives together as nodes, where the entire system, as an entity, learns. I don’t think it is one soul that passes from body to body. I think it is a network of entities.

I think what we think of as souls and past lives are different instances of people connected via a directed acyclic graph. My husband has been astral projecting to different realities as of late. I am skeptical, but the things he experiences match up with things. From the realities he goes to, all different versions of me are involved in something esoteric, with me being a Jedi in one. We are also together in each reality. I think I am pulling energy and experiences from different versions of myself where the entire system is an aggregate of my soul. So, holistically, I resonate with other versions of myself doing magic. Reincarnation makes little sense to me because it is predicated on a sequential nature to time when psychic phenomena is temporally non-local, so that aspect of us would be beyond life and death and immortal, albeit not invincible.

After finding the millionth schizo thread about me, looping me into another person’s gangstalking delusion on Reddit, this is my mood:

These haters obsessed, can’t keep my name out they mouth
Don’t pay no rent, I pay a mortgage on my sickening house
I’m blackity-black, rakin’ in racks, you nosey bitches
And how I run my business ain’t yo’ business to be worried about

Real talk, don’t fuck with a Aries in bad bitch mode
I done paid every bitch, every cent I owed
They be quick on my dick when I click upload
I’m the bitch, still rich, I’ll never be canceled

I’m the one and the only, you’re a hater, you’re lonely
Feel them pullin’ down on me, they already below me
Bitches fake and they phony, all they got’s a baloney
Eyes only on the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony
I’m in the room with elites, bum bitches under my feets

No Bitch

I wish I was kidding. It is literally the same people from 15 years ago. Yes, they have really been doing this for the last 15 years. This time, apparently, I am being paid by the government to troll occult communities as part of a grand conspiracy to keep magic away from the populace. Yep, you heard it from me. I work in the government’s anti-magic department. Oh, and in case you weren’t keeping track, I’m apparently doing this from Serbia so I’m a foreign national, too.

It is surreal how everyone will watch these people spiral into psychosis and not do anything about it. I am seriously waiting for these people to be on the news. It has been the same people going from Discord to Discord and Reddit sub to Reddit sub for 15 years now. Literally the same people… I can’t even imagine living like that.

By the way, one of these said insane people is doing this really creepy thing of feeding AI text from archives back then to create AI-generated characters so that they can recreate the time when we were all in high school. I’m not kidding. This little insane cohort started when we were literally in high school and middle school. Yes, we were on online paranormal forums back then. It is my old group I spoke to online from high school that is literally fucking obsessed with a paradigm built literally on Dungeons and Dragons. If you know, you know. They are talking about Naruto and Dragon Ball Z as if this is still high school, and we are running back home to watch Toonami. I can’t grasp what happened to make these people stunted at high school.

I am finding that this is a common thing among people with schizophrenia or Borderline Personality Disorder. Apparently, they will try to replace whomever they have a parasocial relationship with with AI, so they will train the AI from media and create an AI character. It’s not just this person, which is another reason why I minimize the amount of faithful media I put out there. It gives me the creeps. But, yeah, that’s a thing that is going on. It is getting to the point where I think many of these people are sincerely dangerous to themselves or other people. If they spin off into psychosis and hurt someone, I truly wonder if Reddit or Discord can be held liable since their platform enabled it.

Paradigms are ontological assumptions, beliefs, and expectations about the world, shaping how we perceive recurring structures or points. On a psychological level, they are how we connect data points from our sensory experience or intuition to see the world, so paradigms are models. Magical paradigms are useful because they provide a framework to perceive our anomalous experiences, such as psychically perceived entities, or altered states of consciousness different from our baseline level of consciousness.

One of the biggest challenges for people just starting out in magic is that they are locked into a particular way of perceiving the world. However, when those paradigms become too internalized, it can lock us into a way of seeing the world. The sudden, violent shift in experience that can come from something that turns our world upside down, an initiatory event, gnosis, or a shift in consciousness from drugs can create a liminal space that opens people up to a magical way of seeing the world. I’m not a fan because I’ve seen people develop more obsessive than enlightened relationships with magic because of things like that. That and people’s ability to do magic tends to become linked to that state. It is like that person who manifests psychokinesis out of anger. It is not very useful nor healthy to have to work your way up into a state of anger or fear to do something.

I do a lot of regression analysis. In regression analysis, there are points where the goal is to statistically estimate the relationship among dependent variables to connect the dots and create a model. The thing with these models is that there is a point where that model is no longer valid, and it is not an exact fit. That is similar to how paradigms work. They create a model of the world that connects the dots and shapes how we perceive things; however, there is a point where those models are not pragmatically effective.

For every paradigm, our intuitions, perceptions, and expectations break down and become continuous everywhere and differentiable nowhere, i.e., a singularity. All models are wrong, and all models are useful in a very narrow context. I have seen a trend of occultists internalizing paradigms when, in actuality, we should be treating them conventionally as languages. We use language out of convention where a multilingual person can switch back and forth between languages based upon convention. It also implicitly allows for the creation of an abstract and virtual space within the person’s mind that they can switch to. A type of daemon that holds that virtual world.

Paradigms are world views that connote categories, that are dimensions, and relationships among those dimensions create planes and a structured set. Paradigms are supersets of gestalts, defined entities, properties, and language. So, conventionally, you can treat them as a language since a language is the expressions that emerge from the structured sets of the paradigms ontology. Virtually, ontological languages define virtual layers, so you can treat magical systems as virtual machines.

I never ever interact with magical systems on low levels; rather, it’s all high level and abstract. There’s a level of skepticism there, on a low level, albeit there is a temporary suspension of belief. Technique-wise, I create ontological domains and systems of daemons, i.e., servitors, where the servitors function as personas that I can shift in and out of via ostension.

Ontologically, languages can define universes. I am skipping over the epistemological and ontological issues of whether or not these universes exist. In Boolean Logic, whether or not an instance of a set exists such that we can measure it is irrelevant, so from a Boolean perspective, we can just focus on the logical operations without getting into having an instance of that universe we can point to.

The idea of an ontological language defining a universe may seem pretty abstract. An entity is just a thing. It’s an object. I’m a physical entity; therefore, I have physical properties like Chemistry. Chemistry has things like formulas which we can express and measure in the symbolic language of Math. I am a physical entity that exists in the physical world where my existence emerges from physical rules and properties, so physical relationships and symmetries are intrinsic to me.

Analytically, paradigms are abstractions of symbols, structured sets, and define virtual worlds via the stories that emerge. We can treat magical paradigms as analogous to the high levels of computers where an Operating System is a virtual layer and machine. Beyond a convenient, concrete analogy, I am not saying that our brains are computers or that magic can be grounded in any computational model. It’s a metaphor. We can treat magical systems as virtual layers; therefore, we can avoid internalizing magical paradigms if we abstract it layer and layer of symbolism.

I am simply saying that we can approach different magical paradigms as operating in different universes, which allows us to abstract and use it in ways that do not displace our initial way of interacting with the world. We can intuitively approach it as we do a fictional universe or the rules of a video game.

So creating systems of abstractions is the same thing as virtualizing something. I’m a Linux User, but sometimes I have to use Windows. I run a virtual machine when I have to use Windows. I treat magical paradigms the same way. I utilize magical systems within layers of abstractions to create a sand-boxed off virtual realm to keep negative effects at bay. Creating a magical system of your own and translating one system into another version via interpretation creates a virtual instance that you can enhance by further abstracting it via homotopies. The instance of a magical entity from a magical paradigm is isolated from the rest of me via layers of symbolic abstractions that leave it within its own virtual layer.

Does the existence of magic make me think physical reality is a simulation? No. The elegant expression of a mathematical statement is the reduction of it to a True or False answer. When trying to prove something by induction, you’re essentially looking for a case that is True or False. A language is a superset of entities that are symbols joined together by operators. Languages can be reduced to base 2, or binary strings. Any answer to a question or a description that can be mathematically described can be modeled via a binary string and expressed digitally.

Simulation theories are just as largely unfalsifiable. From an inductive perspective, both simulation theories and beliefs about intelligent design converge on the same thing. Dev and God, in that context, connote the same thing. The testable parts of whether our world is a simulation are looking for artifacts. While the idiom “glitch in the matrix” relates to paranormal things, the evidence would be more mundane. An example of an artifact is the set speed of a CPU as compared to the speed of a simulation. The speed of a simulation is limited by the speed of a CPU; therefore, it can create an artifact. The physical equivalent of lagging would be a good indicator along with spontaneous loss of resolution I.e. continuous, smooth things suddenly become discrete, sharp, and broken.

No, I don’t believe the universe is a simulation. However, the existence of magical and psychic phenomena implies that the physical world is emergent and therefore a phase state. In a similar way, ice water and liquid water are phase states, the physical world is a phase state that’s metaphorically harder, denser, more ordered, and more cohesive. I believe the world is

like a crystal that emerges from a psychic domain. It would be a solid as compared to a gas, albeit there is a case for time being more like a liquid since time flows.

People in occult demographics, occult cohorts, and occult niches feel isolated and as if there is no place for them to go after they, themselves, set fire to their own communities. I’ve been around occult, pagan, and paranormal online spaces for decades, and I have seen them gradually set fire to each and every community. Now, many of them have no place to go since every online space is a dumpster fire that they, themselves, set.

I know I have been ranting against occultism for a while now, but another disturbing interaction with a schizophrenic woman – no, not that one from DKMU, a different one – has me thinking about how occultism enables mental illness and how antisocial personalities inevitably set fire to everything. That person going on a schizophrenic rant about me – not the one from DKMU, a different one – inevitably got them banned. That person is from my millennial cohort of online energy communities from the early 2000s. The same group of people has been running around setting fire to each one of their communities, and when one goes down, they move to a different one and destroy that one too. It’s sad, but it didn’t have to be this way.

Occultists are the ones destroying their own niche because they refuse to get psychiatric care and, instead, enable each other’s paranoid, parasocial delusions. Witches.live is slowly burning down, and everyone is jumping ship to Pagan Plus, for example, albeit those people jumped ship from Twitter. Let’s be honest, occultists and the occult niche acted as a vehicle to carry a lot of the conspiracy theories that spread, so occultists were Trojan horses and arsonists. I’m very disappointed and sad about how the same group of people will sabotage their and other people’s lives. I’ve been practicing magic since I was 10, so I’ve seen a lot.

Why does it seem like the leader of every online occult community is an antisocial lunatic that wants to start some type of physical cult? I swear, I have literally almost seen all of them with plans to buy up a lot of real estate and land to develop a commune, compound, etc. The insane thing is that when I was involved with early psionic communities – like Vsociety – a group of them actually did that. They created a cult and had people live with them. It was called The Divine Science.

2015 and 2016 were when the bottom fell out with these places, and there was an explosion of these cults. Little did the students back then know that their teacher was LARPing as Goku. We called it radical ki, aka bullshitdo. Jesus Christ, it was cringe, and it is disturbing that it has just gotten worse in that the bullshit, radical ki, wannabe kung fu shit has just been absorbed by the manosphere. I literally remember arguing on body energy arts forums 15-18 years ago that semen retention was not correlated with psychic ability, where I had all of these teenagers and 20-year-olds, who grew up to be incels still pushing that no fap shit, lecturing me on jing, ki, and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Okay, I am done with my rants about occultism that have spanned a few posts now. I try my best to avoid joining in on the negativity on social media, which is why I try to avoid negative, argumentative discourse that is endemic to Mastodon.
