as most of you know, each Cultist is sent the SoDOS (System of Dark Occult Science) once they officially join the CoC.

i encourage questions after a Cultist has read through the System, and here are a few:
those are some good questions...
reality is a maleable thing, it is not fixed. human thought, when purified and directed can bend and warp the stuff that reality is made of.
sigils are symbols which represent words/pictures/intentions. drawing a symbol and concentrating on it while Self-Remembering and finally shooting out into the aether with your Will. that is Sigil Magic.
putting Sigil Magic into a search engine will pull up hundreds of entries. this type of sorcery has been around for decades, first created by the magician Austin Osman Spare.
the words of power/meditations are to affect your unconscious mind. the most you say them alound, the more you will start to believe them. and if you believe a thing, it becomes real to you. another way of affecting reality.

it is far easier to influence or nudge pre-existing things. one can create something from nothing (or what seems like nothing), but that takes more time, energy, and Will.
try to observe yourself at least 3 times a day for as long a duration as you can possibly manage. it's like the soft ticking of a wall clock. at first you notice it in a quiet room, but then a minute later once you get used to it... you never hear the ticking. at first when dealing with these ideas, we Self-Remember and think we remain conscious because we struggled to Awaken. however, like the ticking, we resume our sleeping state without realizing it. only if we put forth renewed effort can we hear the ticking or Awake.
thanks for the questions,

so when we meditate and we awaken for these periods of time we are able to bend reality through thought? i read the section fungus magic. what are "sigils" or however you write it? and the words of power these are used to meditate and awaken us?

so when we bend and wrap reality can we create things out of nothing or do we effect that which is already in reality? also is there specified times to try in awaken and does it matter the amount in between trying to awaken?
