MAGICAL KNOWLEDGE

As you may know, there is a magical pyramid. It includes: mystery, faith, knowledge, and imagination. This means that observing all these facets allows one to succeed in the magical art. In this article, we will talk about knowledge: how to obtain it, how to apply it, and also address misconceptions that arise on this topic.
If magical knowledge has been preserved, or if there is knowledge that is different from modern science or even surpasses it, why is it so carefully hidden, why is it not made common knowledge? Why do people who possess this knowledge not want it to become part of life for the better world?
Perhaps this question arises for every person who is introduced to the ideas of magic and witchcraft.
There is the following answer to this question:
Firstly, this knowledge is not hidden; secondly, it cannot become common knowledge.
Despite the abundance of information in books and on the internet, 97% of the material presented is not Knowledge. At its core, it is only the conclusions of people who superficially possess it and represent erroneous judgments.
In reality, Knowledge is more accessible to those who can absorb it than is generally assumed; but the point is that people either do not desire knowledge or are unable to accept it. Most people do not want knowledge and do not strive for it, and the "modern society" often fears everything new and unknown. Some are even more aggressive, and vigorously defend their worldview, even though they are wrong. Just look at how people live, what constitutes the purpose of their existence, the object of their desires, passions, and aspirations, what they dream of, what they talk about, what they serve, and what they worship. After you reflect on this issue and understand it, everything will become crystal clear. Most people, at the level they live on, cannot expect to possess something greater. Not everyone can possess a high level of consciousness, Power, or potent energy, even if they want to. Knowledge must be earned through hard work, and most people simply do not want to make the effort. People avoid putting in effort when they have to study for a long time. Any inconvenience has become a habitual excuse to stop development. I think this idea is presented clearly enough here, the next step will consider another aspect of knowledge, namely the way to obtain it.
Knowledge can be found if sought intentionally and purposefully. Many follow the phrase "When the student is ready, the teacher appears" and continue to wait endlessly. I assume you understand that this is a wrong position. Another phrase that can be used in response to this quote is "water does not flow under a lying stone". This means that if you do not seek the source of knowledge, it will not come to you on its own at some point. Those who wish to obtain knowledge must take the first steps themselves to find its source and approach it. Knowledge cannot come to people on its own unless they make efforts themselves.
Acquiring or transmitting magical knowledge requires a great deal of effort, dedication, and involvement from both the recipient and the giver. Therefore, it is a mutual process. Let's consider the position from the standpoint of the student.
Many have the notion that to learn any skill, such as a foreign language, it takes time, sometimes years. To truly become an expert in a field, such as medicine or physics, it takes 5-10 years. The same principle applies here. There are no shortcuts in magic, and mastery does not come after 2-3 rituals. Therefore, I recommend rejecting various theories that suggest knowledge can come to a person without much effort on their part, or that they can acquire it in their dreams or on the astral plane.
At the same time, it's important to understand that individual efforts to achieve something in this direction may not yield results. Some beginners search for materials in books. In some literature, you may find initial prerequisites that will point you in the right direction, but it is quite erroneous to search for literature that will lead you to the pinnacle of magic. There are no books that lay out step 1, step 2, step 3. A person gains knowledge only through those who possess it - this must be understood from the very beginning. One must learn from those who know.
Another erroneous assumption that needs attention is the phrase: Witchcraft techniques will not work at all or their effectiveness will decrease if they fall into the wrong hands.
If a person unfamiliar with magical knowledge, or with only superficial knowledge of it, somehow acquires practice related to it, regardless of the extent, they will not be able to do anything with that knowledge. It will be like Chinese characters to them. They will look at it, get acquainted, and that will be the end of it. Without understanding the structure and analyzing the mechanisms, it's akin to asking someone on the street to launch a satellite into space.
Additionally, one cannot overlook the detail of the difference in the context of knowledge between information and understanding. Simply having information does not give you anything; you may have acquainted yourself with it and filtered out some aspects, but you have not done anything or applied it. In a sense, this is useless. Most will never cross the line between gathering information and taking action. They spend their lives waiting for total knowledge and ideal conditions, which will never happen. Thus, they are forever doomed to be spectators, not practitioners.
Without real efforts, without attempts and diligence, there can be no true knowledge, no growth, no achievements.
Understanding, on the other hand, is built on a practical basis, on experience and actions. Sometimes this understanding is on a subconscious level, where the idea or concept is clear inside you, but articulating it can be challenging. In some cases, it is more direct. Understanding encompasses not only certain information and conclusions but also feelings and sensations. It is not uncommon to observe that at certain points in life, a person had an understanding of ideas at one level, and at a later time, it deepens. What brings about these changes? Knowledge and experience.
In conclusion, it is worth emphasizing once again that knowledge is accessible to those who seek it and desire to find it. True knowledge can only be obtained by those who belong to the Tradition. Knowledge also involves the practical application of material, experience, and subsequent understanding.
