Hello my brothers and sisters,

This is not a channeled message. It's simply a message written by me, the guy who normally channels these messages.

Today I want to talk about magick.

I spell magick with ck to distinguish it from stage magic. This is a convention that other people use as well.

But then, what is magick?

I don't claim to be an expert on the topic, and my personal views are influenced by things I've heard from people whose names I don't remember and can't easily find. So if some of these ideas originated from you, feel free to claim credit in the comment section.

But here's my personal view:

Scientists think that matter creates consciousness. Magick users (and perhaps others too) think that consciousness creates matter.

Magick, then, is consciously working with energy or spiritual beings. And because consciousness creates and affects matter, consciously working with energy can have impacts that the average person doesn't expect.

Often magick uses some kind of energy to powers a spell, plus an intention -- what you want the energy to do.

So for example, one form of magick is sex magick, practiced either by yourself (masturbation), with a partner, with multiple partners or even in an orgy context.

Some Pleiadians occasionally participate in sex magick orgies. Why not? It's effective and fun (for some people), so why wouldn't they? Magick isn't bad or good, it's what you do with it.

Sex magick works by the participants setting the same intention together, having sex, and then focusing on and visualizing the desired outcome before, during and after the orgasm.

So the energy being used during sex magick is sexual energy.

Crystals have an energy that can be used for magick as well.

You can also ask angels for help and if they think it's a worthy cause, they'll help you with their energy. For example, a spell could just be saying or thinking:

"I am having an amazing month [or replace this with another intention of your choice, using the present tense]. It's happening in accordance with the highest divine blueprint. I'm asking wise and benevolent beings, forces and aspects of existence to contribute to this, including Ganesha. Thank you, now now now"

Does this work? It works for me, so long as my intention is something that is indeed in accordance with the highest divine blueprint, and I'm not being blocked by what my soul wants (it might want something uncomfortable to happen in order for me to learn a lesson), or by subconscious limiting beliefs.

Here, the energy that powers the spells are just my own natural energy, plus "wise and benevolent beings, forces and aspects of existence, including Ganesha." This way I'm including angels, and many other beings besides.

Why am I including Ganesha? Well, I personally enjoy working with him and find him to be a great asset to my magick.

I'm not claiming that what I'm doing is the only or the best way to do magick. I'm just sharing what's working for me.

But then, if I'm saying "wise and benevolent beings, forces and aspects of existence, including Ganesha" -- does that mean that Ganesha isn't wise, or isn't benevolent?

It doesn't mean that. Ganesha is wise and benevolent.

I simply had a conversation with him.

I wasn't willing to worship Ganesha, or be devotional, in the conventional way that someone might worship a god.

And Ganesha wasn't willing to help if I just said "wise and benevolent beings, forces and aspects of existence." He's included in the definition, but he wasn't willing to help.

But Ganesha was willing to help me if I said "wise and benevolent beings, forces and aspects of existence, including Ganesha." Why? Because then I'm "paying" Ganesha with my focus / attention / energy.

Us Earth humans are incredibly powerful beings -- our power is just very unrefined. However, even just us thinking about a god or mentioning them, empowers that god.

So Ganesha considered it sufficient payment if I just said "including Ganesha", even in situations where no other Earth human hears my words.

The metaphor that Ganesha used to explain this to me is: "if you think or say my name, you're giving me a substantial amount of metaphorical iron ore (energy). I'm then happy to give you my aid, which you can think of as an iron pan. It's a good deal for you, because you have plenty of iron ore but have trouble making an iron pan out of it. And it's a good deal for me, because I can easily turn some of your iron ore into an iron pan, give you the pan and keep the remainder for myself."

Hence the title: treating gods transactionally.

Thanks, Ganesha.

To be clear, I'm not claiming my approach is the best or the only way. Being devotional has advantages, including for the person who is devotional.

In fact, not all gods or goddesses will accept or even tolerate this transactional approach. I talked to a goddess one time who demanded that I engage in an act of worship before she was even willing to have a conversation with me (I hadn't asked her for any favors). So I'm not saying that this transactional approach is a good way to approach gods or goddesses in general.

Some Earth human magick users will say something like: "if you want to work with a god, it's good to do a small ritual for them, or give them a small offering. Obviously the god actually bending the material world in your favor is a far greater thing than the ritual or the offering you're doing, however that minor thing you do for the god is just a sign of respect."

Now the respect might be one aspect of it, but from my point of view, the god is being well-compensated for their action. Namely, the payment is the energy that you give them by simply focusing on them during the ritual or offering. After all, where attention goes, energy flows -- so thinking about Ganesha gives him energy.

To be clear, Ganesha isn't parasitizing. So it's not like we only have ten kilos of iron ore in our lifetime, and if we ask Ganesha for a favor, we permanently spend one kilo of iron ore and for the rest of our lives we only have nine kilos left.

It's more that we're a constantly flowing fountain of iron ore (energy). So if we spend some time thinking about Ganesha and we mention his name and we ask for a specific favor, then he gets iron ore that he considers sufficient payment to slightly bend the physical world in our favor. But we lose nothing.

Now granted, I might be more energetically powerful than the average person, so in exchange for his aid maybe Ganesha would expect a small ritual, and therefore a lengthier amount of attention, from an average person.

And maybe Ganesha is willing to aid people who really need it, even without payment, and Ganesha merely wasn't willing to help me because I asked for something that I wanted but didn't strictly need. I don't know, I'm not channeling Ganesha here.

But what I do want to point out is: this is how powerful us Earth humans are. Us just thinking about a god for a few seconds, or maybe for some people a few minutes, is enough payment for that god to be happy to bend reality slightly in our favor.

So even our momentary attention is incredibly powerful, and produces a noticeable amount of energy.

It's important to realize that.

And how awe-inspiring will we be once we start learning to make iron pans ourselves?

And shouldn't we be able to just disempower undesired things simply by not giving attention to them?

With all my love,

A.S.
