"SP" - for "Special Person. "
Lol, in Scientology it stand for Suppressive Person.

TBH, I've never read Goddard, but someone special to me tried to beat me with him as apparently he had found the most simple absolute "gist" of Kabbalah which seemed to be in accord with the General Epistemology of Holy Fluff. When I started talking about the Bahir she drew a blank and I could feel the psychic slap of frustration via text message from 300 miles away.

Oh, another cool thing they do.

The LOA folks mirror some Folk Catholic extended practices like novenas. They basically just spam the fuck out the Demiurge (the Operative Whatever) daily, for 5 minutes morning and evening until their desire "manifests." Ugh, the language.

It may be the next day, or t may be months, They stick to it. They're fucking relentless.

Neville's Law of Assumptions operative model proposes "your Imagination is God" - the terms are not important - and that's almost identical to the Stoic proposition 'your Creative Reason in the Logos'

'Logos' is better translated into English, as 'Deliberate Creativity' rather than "reason" as the neutered and sterile atheists say, and manifests as the Imagination - the creative force within us.

There's a few under the New Age category of the late 20th c.e. that I encountered, applied and liked for high magick

The fundamentals and application of dance by Gabrielle Roth.

Jane Roberts and the Seth books have a deep coherent secular philosophy with exercises leading to results. The suggestion to receive a True Dream from the Gates of Horn to harmonize one's being gave a profound experience that I'm still learning from decades later.

Neat, Frater AlNil! We have similar models.

This Operative Whatever - the causual agent of the universe that takes our intentions and makes stuff happen - I mythologize as the Demiurge.

Check out the quantum Growing Block Universe model in Royce Christyn's New Thought 'Scripting the Life You Want.' book I shared.

Poh-tay-toe , Poh-tah-toe, mutatis mutandis.


He's doing borderline Chaos Magic - well , totally is - and adding fun stuff combining his scripting with the quantum randomizing app (if that is what is truly is on the backend ) Randonautica. I keep meaning to give it a spin.
Nice I have had a couple of things put in print now ....I would have to say for me Chaos Magick is where it is... With Spare as the Grandfather... How do you make Magick work? You pour love into it... Art is a fucking great medium but then again anything you Love can be incorporated into the system ...Maths ...Language (which I adore)... Music.....

Charge the Magick with love and release .... There are many who pull the pin on their hand grenade and stand about waiting for it to go off and then complain when it does go off in their face..

Seriously though great call I will have a look at the book thanks for sharing 😈

The Growing Block Universe comes from two things that people are desparate to keep from their normal perceptions of reality: a single universe, and the passage of time as a function of the universe rather than a function of the processes inside the universe.

I would compare it to the Sun and the Earth; it really looks like the Sun goes around the Earth, and it really looks like the Earth is stationary, but neither of these things is actually true.

Neat, Robert Ramsay! What model / models do you think has merit?

I am not as up with the various more quantum / scientific models as I used to be, but Itzhak Bentov's ' Stalking the Wild Pendulum' made a good impression on me in high school. Does it still hold, uh, fluid dynamic particles?

Honest question ! FYI, I really don't do circa 2010 New-Atheist / neckbeard / Reddit-style debates.

I'm also more of a No Universe guy (other than the appearance of one we are collectively making together, with overlapping personal pocket universes), but I very much appreciate all attempts to model whatever the fuck is going on.

I've spent thirty plus years trying to find a cosmological model that could include magic.
Imagine a huge (if not infinite) number of block universe timelines that interweave and interlock to form a timeless version of the multiverse. It solves a lot of the things that people usually call 'weird' about quantum physics with as few assumptions as possible, and provides a picture of magic as the engineering of coincidence.
