Any books that explain to what degree your beliefs shape your reality?

I keep realizing more and more that the mere thought of wanting something to work is 10x more practical than an actual strategy

This along with Prometheus Rising.

Magick is the attempt of trying to focus pure will into fruitification. I guess it's not a scientific explanation, but it's a very decent system of thought.

Our inner states manipulate outer reality as well, hylics brainlets will seethe at this but its true.


Had short bursts of good and bad luck in short periods when there was a huge shift in my inner state. Nothing better then getting massive luck out of nowhere while u dont do anything just gifts and presents by universe

Any tips on maintaining an inner state when you're a typical overanalyzing faggot like myself? Im pretty good at putting myself in a good mental state but since we are our thoughts and I have a bilion thoughts per day, I have trouble maintaining it

>we are our thoughts
OH NO NO NO
You're the awareness observing the thoughts
Start training to control your thoughts a calm mind and heart in sync is the key this is universal conclusion in mysticism.

>mysticism.

I'm a person that believes in the practicality of things. If it works it works, be it mysticism, egoism, magic, voodoo, I dont care If I see results I believe in it.

So you're saying thoughts are like intruders and "me" is the interpretation of those thoughts? In that sense would meditation work? I've found writing down my thoughts alone brought me some clarity

kek same, im very practical person
Yes, most thoughts are not your own. Its automatic social conditioning or from deep sea of awareness . Try controlling your thoughts u will have much more energy , if you can pull your focus from head to heart
