Magic is the process of merging the imaginal with the mundane, physical, every day reality. Thus, it would be causing the dream mind to usurp power over one's reality by overcoming the rational "awake state of mind". It is the lucid view; the 9th state.

I find it to be the act of surrendering to everything and nothing, all at once... the suspension of self to work with things beyond my mortal existence...

My definition of Magick is taking a negitive flow of energy and directing it into a positive flow thus changing its nature... A good example of this is taking negitive thoughts and emotions such as hatred and violence and turning it into a constructive force... When someone pisses me off I can generally direct that anger into physical labor and achieve fantastic things... Things I wouldnt normally do... I can take a negitive occurance or obsticle and precieve it as a challenge thus removing its ability to affect me or prohibit my progression... I see the obsticle for what it is something to overcome... I endure it and add it to my wisdom...

To use the forces of universe through meditation (i.e. relaxing body, mind, and spirit) and balance (to counter the events in your life with ones of equal good or evil in an emotion/mental/spiritual/physical senseto alter your surroundings, help your friends, change situations in your life, and inflict serious injury on your enemies.
True magic is neither black, white, nor chaotic. It is all three because the universe has all three within it. The only good or evil is in the heart of the witch. Life mantain's a balance in it's own way. So it is up the witch in the end, to hurt or harm others (hence the Three-Fold Law).

No matter what Demons plague you.
Or Gods that judge you.
True Magic is, and always will be.
That which enables you,
to live with your ridiculous self.

I think this topic dove-tails nicely into the following discussion:
What is Magic in the real world? In other words, how do you apply magic(k) ideologies in the every day world, in your every day life?
I'm writing an article for Satanic [Panic!] Magazine, and want to get a wide array of perspectives.
What is magic(k) to you in the living world?

In order to "work" magic truly and effectively we have to loosen our perceptions. We consider ourselves outside of the "muggle" perspective. With that in mind. I find myself applying my ability to perspective shift all the time in mundane life. I am able to understand fairly clearly where many differing perspectives come from and it is easier to interact with people when they feel that you understand and intersect with their perspective of the universe. I find that this lubricates many of my dealings with the sheeple on a day to day basis. I also find that my magical training makes it easier to influence others in such a fashion as to get them to do what I want. IE: in a job interview I can project the feeling and energy that I want the interviewer to feel during the interview. Using LBM I also am able to influence the interview and get the interviewer to choose me over the other choices presented. I guess the best way I am able to use my magic on a day to day basis is just by being myself. Not worrying about what others are doing. I am. That sense of self is so much more solid than most of the people around me that I am able to cut through them like a knife though so much softened butter.

Magick: the driving force of the universe.
Magickian: one who perceives & manipulates the force
All that is, is magick. We are points of consciousness riding a collapsing quantum wave. Perception is interaction.
I percieve "awakening" as being that state in which one becomes aware of & able to start manipulating more of the basic energies of the sea of chaos upon which we surf.

What is magick? magick is.
Magick can be whatever the operator wants it to be. But that doesn't make it magick. It's just using magick.
What is What?
what is what because it is.
What?
Hehahah

[Part 2] Science and magic combined?....... Science is the 'building blocks' of 'reality' ... maths, physics, biology, chemistry etc etc etc... Magic is the power achieved when you understand the interaction between the different branches of science and how they play together and make up 'reality' and become able to manipulate these things..

;D Glad to see you can see through my smokescreen, I hope you didn't take my post too seriously. Hence Why I put Hehahah at the end of it.
But if you can see that the context was illusion itself in my words i put there you are one hell of a magician.
Remember: magick is. What is. "what" "IS""magick" ?? "magick" "Is" "what"?? "Is" "magick" "What"?? "is" "What" "magick" Still it's a puzzle but^thats a hint. Do you get it?
