Joel Biroco: No leap because no thought, just spontaneous action directed by insight.
But to try to address your comment in as helpful a way as is possible, I wonder if you are
one leap ahead of yourself. You are wondering how to make the leap from seeing to
doing, but I wonder whether you have really made the leap between bass, stereo,
grapefruit and an unwanted emotion, or whether you are positing an example
hypothetically. Hypothetical situations are the antithesis of juxtapositional magick. There
is no point in saying “What if…” Learn from spontaneity itself, from the moment itself,
in real time. You cannot second-guess juxtapositional magick or have pre-prepared
responses. It is ritual, but not ritual “as we know it Jim”. So avoid thinking about it and
trying to answer hypothetical questions about it. You can’t come to an understanding of
it that way.
As for feeling like a beginner… Remember that your understanding of this next
week, next year, in five years time, in 10 years time, in 20 years time, will advance. Also
be aware that there are many magicians who have been studying and practising more
documented forms of magick for many years who know next to nothing of juxtapositional
magick, to whom these ideas will be new. There are no books on this and this is the first
time I have even mentioned juxtapositional magick in a public forum myself, though I
have been practising this form of magick for many years. “Juxtapositional magick” is
only a name I came up with for convenience, that kinda describes it, but it’s the doing of
it that’s important, description fails dismally to convey the real power of this magick,
which is why I’ve never attempted to write about it, it was only because I was pressed
that I am doing so now. I first evolved this form of magick in experiments with Goetic
evocation in the 1980s, and, just thinking about it now actually—because I really don’t
think about it much at all, I just do it—perhaps I was taught it by a demon… hmmm,
food for thought. And, if so, it would have been on the one occasion when I “made a
mistake” and permitted a demon to possess me, and, while possessed, carried out a form
of magick I had never seen before. I watched myself do it, taking it all in. This is like
personal revelations in real time! I’m laughing to myself, because the more I think
about it the more I think that is indeed where I learnt how to do this, and yet, that’s the
first time I’ve had that realisation. Up until this moment I had believed it was something
that I “kinda evolved”, but no, initially I was shown it by a demon and then I developed
it. Well I’ll be!
David Cantu: You will probably disagree with this first part but read the whole thing.
This all seems important, and the idea that other patterned forms of magick may have
a root in this is interesting to me, because it gives power back to the creation of systems
rather than the systems themselves, which you point out, are arbitrary. Please note the
