I was supprosed by a couple of experiments getting results just by using energy and intention. ... and avoiding 'passion for results', I have less success using goetic spirits, Jinn or angels... but not unsuccessful either. This just got me wondering about the use of spirits of different kinds and whether tpeople think hey make a big difference...

If you can get results just by using intent with energy, what use are spirits, Jinn, angels etc. Do they amplify or speed up something?

Unless you're well advanced (and that specfically means a very developed subtle body), these things tend to solve some problems and then bring other ones. Most people are undiscerning and can't put two and two together.
I've also never seen evidence that they bring better general results than so-called simple manifesting using one's own power.
Thats a strong advocation for 'manifesting using your own power'. Other than Bardon's excercises, which are very much about this, is there any other way of growing your skills in this area. As I say, sometimes I am suprised at how effective it can be.... is that also your experience?

Also, being 'undiscerning' ... I dont contest that judgement ... I am keen to know how to 'put two and two together' ... and what kinds of problems bring other ones when solved.

Its simply a matter of paradigm.
In modern magick, there are two main models that are debated : the energy model and the spirit model.
Even though they are not that seperated in practice, you always find people who either focus their work on petitioning a spirit to get something and the ones who focus on creating the change by casting programmed energy constructs.
They are many ways to explain why they all work and/or why some models doesn't work for some people :
- personnal cosmology
- worldview
- believing/not believing in spirits
- believing/not believing in what you do
- personnal sympathy with a model.
Artists have good results by doing a painting or writting a poem. Women in countryside of Europe have results by cooking a meal. Ceremonial magickians.could write essays on Paimon and the results they got by calling him. Chaos decide that if Spider Man can trap an enemy into a web, so he will for them...
At the end of the day, if it works for you congrats.... Most of people are still struggling to get results.

The basic reason is cooperation. "Team work makes the dream work". Two or more people that can get along and work well together will normally get more done than working alone. The thing is, the people, or entities in this case, have to actually click. Some people click with most popular occult spirits, some with almost none of them, and most fall somewhere in between. This is mostly about energetic resonance, also being pleasant and easy to work with, and many other factors unique to the entity in question.
Of course it's simpler to just manifest on your own, but if you can build the relationship and get the relevant factors to align, working with spirits can be really effective. Almost all traditional magickal systems involve spirits in one way or another, and it's for a good reason.
