[阿特拉名贤]

After the magic ritual is completed, will you be eager to witness the outcome?

Best not, as that can screw it up.

"Without lust of result", remember?

Thanks for this!

When I first started magic I tried to force results or over focused on them. Most of the time the thing wouldn't manifest when I did that.
Now days I write down everything in my journal than forget about it. Occasionally I go through them and surprise myself with the results, then forget about it again, lol.

Journaling is so important. I don’t revisit my past entries much, but when I did last weekend I blown away by the experiences I had that I completely washed over from just a few months ago.

Depends what or whom am I dealing with. Sometimes forgetting is part of the ritual. Sometimes it works immediately, or comes with complete certainty. Sometimes they just do everything in a strange ways and I miss the outcome whether I'm looking for it or not.

Immediately following a working I try to remain confident that my outcome will occur, to the point where I'm absolutely certain that it will. I make a record of it, then I don't think about it again until the result occurs. In a similar way to dealing with random thoughts coming up during meditation, if the thought of the working or the outcome happens to pop up, I just let it float by without giving it any attention. The most important aspect of this is to not allow worries and doubts to influence you, and in turn whatever you're hoping to achieve.
