Magic: Intention and Gasoline (Maelinhon)

Peace. This will be a short but very important article that has been long overdue. So many magic trainings, workshops, techniques, and books floating around nowadays… and everyone is debating so high-mindedly: does this technique really work? Is this white magic or more shamanistic? Does this formula really need a dot here, and if I drew it a little to the left, would it be OK?
I laugh every time. Let me tell you how magic and ANY magical technique really works, whether it’s vision boards, runes, creating a tulpa, or a spell. It works, believe it or not, regardless of the style, dots, ribbons, or order of runes. You’ll be surprised, but there are 3 components to magical practice only, and in 99% of cases, the most important one is omitted from the recipe. Instead, attention is focused on some small stuff like words, colors, lunar phases, the publishing date of the book where this stuff is written, the angle of the pen… Believe me, it doesn’t matter at all. Most practices succeed or fail not because the recipe is right or wrong.

The reason is entirely different. And today, we’ll find out how anyone can do magic, any day, without SMS, registration, or old books.

I always say that the biggest problem with so-called esotericism is cinema. Screenwriters (and authors also) are people often far from the areas they’re depicting. If a movie shows you how to create a tulpa, that information will be far from reality. But filmmakers are good at adapting information so that it looks spectacular and intuitively understandable to the viewer or reader. We never saw real mental hospitals, secret services at work, special forces, magic, scientific inventions, violence… Everything you see in the movies is a beautiful adaptation for the general mental framework. So, when you see a fortune teller pulls the Death card from the Tarot deck in a movie, it is supposed to mean death. You know, the mental template works like that: a coffin, a skull, bones – then, its death. We’re all going to die, then. In a movie, it’s normal and understandable to the viewer, but a lot of things normal in movies have nothing to do with reality.

The problem is that esotericism is often very closed, it’s not public thing, we don’t see HOW magic works. And if we do, it’s something like in staged movie thing. Magic is not filmed, and not really described anywhere, and it’s not in the movies. And people often base their vision of the practice on films, having no other information. The most often idea pushed in the movies is that you must KNOW THE RIGHT WAY to do something (a ritual, spell, or how to summon). You have to find the exact recipe, that specific book, and only then it works, if you do all that crap in the right order at midnight, when the planets are aligned. And Lord forbid, if some ribbon is wrong color, or a letter is written the wrong way, or the sacrificial blood is 3ml more or less. It’s over, it won’t work.

That’s a screenwriter’s vision, who needs to create some conflict in the script. To make the heroes search that book for a long time, fight for it, be late for the eclipse, etc. It has nothing to do with the actual practice.

The same approach is often in religion as well. Like, a deity simply won’t hear you if you address them yourself or somehow “incorrectly”. So, they look for an agent and “powerful prayers”, because, you know, weak ones have poor server ping, and the deity won’t hear you if you change the word order slightly. In other words: someone approaches you and starts talking to you. Do you respond to the sound? Or do you only react if they’re wearing blue clothes or start with those specific words from the book? And if they’re wearing a red sweater, you can’t hear them? Sounds absurd, doesn’t it?

Any being can hear if you address them, they generally sense requests. Yes, they might not react, but it doesn’t depend on how you address them, it’s about whether your request is interesting or not. If your request isn’t interesting, you can show up in any clothes and pray using the most accurate prayer books, it won’t become more interesting. If your deity starts doing the gypsy dance about the correct word order, the lunar phase, and all that stuff, then his or her sanity is seriously questionable. They can all hear and see you in any form, they’re not blind, deaf, nor stupid.

This nonsense appears in practical magic too. Nobody thinks about HOW the practice works, they just search for the perfect recipe and the right order of ribbons. Like in movies, right? In reality, any practice depends not on the car brand, but on the gasoline. Put more simply, the recipe might be perfect and refined, but the simple question is: do you have the ingredients for that recipe? Or did you spend all your time finding the recipe book and didn’t bother to buy the ingredients? You spent six months picking out the coolest car, but know nothing about gasoline. Oh. The car won’t go without gas, it is strange. Is it?

Any magical practice consists of three components:

— Intention. This is the program for your work, a complete description of how it works, where, in what direction, what the result looks like, and so on.

— Energy Charge. The gasoline. 20+ liters of pure Qi. The main component, up to 100% of any practice fails here.

— Vision, feeling. You need to at least roughly see what you’re doing and what’s happening. Preferably without crutches like Tarot or anything else. A blind surgeon is bad news, and a practitioner without vision is a blind surgeon.

That’s it. That’s really ALL of it. Everything else is just a bunch of extra junk that’s not necessary, but we just don’t know how to do it another way. Let’s take it point by the point.

Intention

Any practice starts with intention. What, exactly, do you want to do? What’s the goal, and what should the result of the work look like? This isn’t always easy to formulate, but without it, nothing will take flight. Imagine intention like soup. Imagine the taste of the soup, feel it, visualize a pot of it, mentally stir it with a spoon. That comprehensive mental image of “soup,” including the taste, color, smell, consistency, and volume = intention. That’s what your “message” to space about anything should look like. A well-thought-out, complete, vivid picture.

Intentions like “let it be good, and let there be no bad” end badly because an unclear goal creates a huge field for mistakes, bugs, parasites, and other things. So, you imagined not the soup, but “some kind of a soup”, and they’ll make you a soup of herring, raspberry jam, gelatin, and cognac, because you didn’t specify anything else, and that was closest to what you had in mind. You send a request to space, and it takes the shortest path, for example, you’re very tired at work, so “good” here means you get fired. So, you don’t get tired and take care of your health. So, formulate a clear, precise, concrete goal, specifying any unwanted factors. If it’s structural work (a curse, a protection), then think through the structure. How it works, what it reacts to, what it ignores, what it looks like, etc.

Next, your intention is placed into a form. Runes, songs, dances, a tambourine, a ritual — anything. The Vision Board practice is the same, it’s just a form for intention. That is, runes or spells are not themselves the secret or the practice, they technically simplify the main work: they convey the intention to the target more accurately. There are no frameworks, styles, or static forms because it’s creativity, not precise engineering, and there are no hard-and-fast rules in creativity. You can even choose no form, and just charge the intention itself or tap it on the table with your hand. The right way is the one YOU feel right.

But this point creates a new problem: everyone looks at other people’s successful practice and starts to copy, categorize, imitate… It won’t work if it’s not yours. Or it’ll work crookedly and poorly. At best, you’ll end up with a stone soup, putting power into the Intention, and adding a ritual that could be completely removed from the process without any change. The ritual is the stone in the soup. The Intention is the pot, the energy is the ingredients with water and salt. You don’t need to add the stone.

Think about the technique of praying to someone like J. R. “Bob” Dobbs in your spare time. It’s usually the same stone there.

Charge
And this is the heart of the practice. Without it, nothing will fly, even with the most perfect intentions. Basically, the simplest question is: do you have anything to charge your gravitron with? You don’t expect your phone to work without a power charge, and you don’t expect the heater to heat up without fuel, do you? But the heroes in the movies expect it somehow! Like, they find a book—that’s it, and then somehow, it just works. Nope, guys, the key point is not the book. You have to make sure that the intention has a charge exceeding the resistance of space.
Space is made up of elements, which are also energies, which are also lines of events. It doesn’t like you interfere and it will resist. Your body resists if you change it. And people resist if you try to sell them something. Any practice boils down to a simple formula: do you have ENOUGH power to push your intention into reality? If you don’t have the power, there’s no point talking, it won’t fly, like a plane without fuel. Even the most advanced plane won’t fly without fuel, and to achieve our goals, we need a LOT of it, a lot, and it will all flow from you. Right from your body, your organs, your blood, a stream of Qi will flow, and your project will try to force through reality with it. Do you have that much tank capacity? Or a source? How much can you influence reality? Because that’s the essence of it.

Most people can’t do practical magic not because they lack some kind of abilities or gifts. That’s all bullshit, everyone has the standard set of chakras and channels, everyone can see and do everything perfectly well, if they want. Most people just don’t have the strength to charge their intentions, formulas, etc. Those who do have the strength don’t really need runes, spells, drums, and other ethnographic tools. They can use the tools if it’s more convenient, but it’s not the main component of the work, not even a secondary one, and it’s not mandatory. That is, if it doesn’t work, it’s likely that the resistance of space to your project is greater than the strength you have.

People are massively living in a very unbalanced way. They have one gas tank for everything: their body, their psyche, their activities, their finances, and everything else. Every action you take, even getting out of bed, requires energy. Many live in their personal hell of resentments, traumas, pain, complexes, fears, and all sorts of limitations, and up to 2/3 of their fuel is poured into that hole. Fuel that could have become health, money, and successful practices. If you don’t have enough energy for life, you simply won’t have anything to conjure money or anything else. Even the most perfect formula won’t fly without fuel, it’s not a matter of the ritual being correct or not. On the other hand, if you have a lot of strength, above the norm, then those rituals are as necessary to you as a hole in your sock. You’ll get things working anyway: you think it, you shape it, you put energy in, and send it out into the world. And it starts to pull the probability lines the way you need them.

To cook soup, you need to think like soup. It’s not enough to just imagine soup, you also need to find a pot, a stove with gas or electricity, vegetables, water, meat, knives, etc. The soup (thought form) is poured into the pot (runes) and filled with energy (water, filling, stove). But people who use expressions like “black magic” tend thinking about soup and choosing a pot, without having any ingredients or a stove.

That’s why curses are actually very rare, really rare. Yes, scammers are really good at “seeing” and “removing” them, but in practice, it’s a couple of cases a year out of tens of thousands of people. Why? Because a curse is a HUGE, just freaking amount of energy! Just incredibly huge.

Imagine that making any curse needs efforts equal to buying a small apartment. To curse someone is like to give away an apartment. Then another one. And another one. Would you, in such a situation, curse everyone who took a dim look at you? I doubt it. You don’t even have enough to live on, even in the red, and you need to somehow make 10 times greater effort and give it away without getting it back for a questionable purpose.

So, even if someone is crafting it out of his limited intelligence, the charge they have is at best enough for a finger cut or to catch the flu. Most people are barely scraping by in life, barely making it to 50-70 years, and even then, they’re sick as a dog. Do you really think they have the potential to create curses? What they’re trying doesn’t matter because it’s an impact on the level of drawing your portrait. So someone drew you, and what? To really ruin someone and kill him, you need a volume of Qi about 10 times greater than normal, and not even everyone has the normal amount.

Yes, there is, of course, the option of someone else charging your work, but that’s even more of a pitfall. If someone is going to pour an amount of power equivalent to an apartment into your wish, then they have to be motivated by something, right? No one will work for free out of kindness or altruism. Do you have anything to pay them or how to convince them to do it? We’re back to energy and vision for negotiations because if you have the strength for this, you can charge the formula yourself. And if you don’t, then you can’t afford to pay for the work of third-party power banks. Minor entities will charge you 10% for a piece of meat and a cigarette, but larger ones aren’t interested in this kind of work, and there’s nothing to motivate them.

Tulpa and Self-Curse

There’s a special type of work with intention, namely a tulpa. What is a tulpa in simple terms? How to create a tulpa? This Tibetan word has become widely popular in eso-, exo-, and fringed practices around the world, and it’s directly related to our topic. Recently, a lot of information has appeared on this, such as how to create a tulpa with a check-list, how to bring it to life, etc.

A tulpa is when an intention takes the form of a conditionally living being.

To put it simply, you imagine a gnome friend who stands by your door every night and protects you from the boogeyman. This also includes the impossibly complex topic of living munds in graphic magic, where a runic formula actually has eyes and crawls across the table at your will.

This is essentially a golem. A mold of energy with certain features you’ve defined and performing actions you’ve programmed — that’s what creating a tulpa means.

As children, many of us create such friends (and enemies) in our heads without any rituals, because all we need is intention in a thought-form and lots of power. And children have LOTS of power and can be easily impressed. You watch a movie about zombies, you get scared, and now the image of a zombie crawling out from under beds and closets is constantly in your head. Where your attention is directed, there energy flows, and many children have a bad habit of getting fixed on things, thinking about it 24/7. And so they think about zombies for a week, feeding that image with energy, and at some point that empty shell becomes so filled with Qi that it kind of comes to life. And the child, cats and dogs, and other not brainwashed inhabitants of the house actually start to see this zombie! It carries out the programmed mission and crawls out of the closet at night. The child programmed it himself to look like a zombie and come out specifically from the closet. That’s what it does.

In reality, it’s just a mold of empty energy. It’s a mirage. You see, we’re dealing with unconscious charging of the image with intention and energy. Children can “speak” with characters from books and movies, imaginary loved ones, and anyone else, and they’ll actually respond, walk, do things. For example, an orphaned child can imagine a mom or dad who didn’t actually die, but live in Narnia/Middle-Earth/on Mars, and come by at night and say kind words.

If you’re an adult dimut, then this technique of creating a tulpa works in a very similar way. You mold the form, set the structure, pour the gas in — and it goes. The placebo effect works on the same mechanics: you focus your attention on the sore spot and Qi starts to flow there. The pill, in this case, is just the stone in the soup. So, thinking about something and filling it with energy automatically results in creating a program of action. It works the same way in cases if someone just looked at the runes on his phone screen, and the result already starts to happen.

And an impressionable person, having shock or paranoia, can create “ghosts” at home and even curse himself. Basically, create a tulpa. A person imagines a curse and how it works so much and so often, and so diligently, that this shell automatically starts filling with Qi and works like… a curse. Again, the principle of “think it, visualize it, fill it” applies, and nothing else is needed, that’s enough. This is self-cursing.

It’s better to think about releasing a cool book, opening your own business, or becoming healthy and relaxed. Qi flows into any intention, it doesn’t care, it flows where emotions and attention are directed. If we think about curses and fear them — then we get curses, we think about a tulpa in the form of a gnome — then we create a tulpa in the form of a gnome. By this same mechanic, money almost always appear for some purpose, and money never just there abstractly. If you’ve decided to buy an apartment, visualize that apartment in specifics, mentally paint the walls and think about the brand of kitchen appliances — then money will appear. Not tomorrow, but your intention will bring it to you in a couple of years at most. But anyway, if it’s just sighs like, “Oh, I wish I had a place,” then there’s no technical assignment or gas there.

Overall, it’s a simple topic, as simple as the corner of a house. There are only 2 essential components and 1 desirable one, the rest is extremely conditional. And it’s very funny to watch people never talking about the fuel. They talk about how to classify the results of those who achieved something on styles and variations. They succeeded not because they know some secret, they just have the ability to push their idea into space and think creatively. Everyone else is left to just draw signs and endlessly look for secrets.
