That makes sense. I agree with importance the back and forth dynamic you’re talking about here. I just wanted to emphasize that there is such a dynamic in learning transformations, especially in ‘probability/spell magic’ since I felt like that aspect was missing, or at least under-expressed. But perhaps it was missing in my mind or understanding but was readily obvious to everyone else.

Yea, I agree. That’s pretty much what most of my life about: figuring out how and “where” I am not allowing myself to live the way I want. Basically learning the things you’re talking about.
You’re totally right that there is so much deep down in my intentionality that is against any would be “magick.”

I think I’ve realized what may be one possible barrier for me in magic although I haven’t thought it through in detail yet. On the one hand I am hesitant to believe that everyone can do magic because I don’t want to be in a situation where others are more magically powerful than me since I’m currently magically weak. Seems dangerous.
On the other hand I have deep tendencies toward egalitarianism and tending to see the same rules that apply to others as applying to me.
As a result I think there’s a conflict that makes it much tougher to do magic.

To continue with an unrelated thought.

Same here. I think in some spiritual sense we must have similar background. I can relate to what you’re saying almost all the time.
