Chaos Magick vs. Psionics

  As a chaote, you might hear about a lot of weird concepts you probably wouldn't understand right away.

This brings us to the 4 main paradigms: the Spirit model, the Energy model, the Psychological model and the Information model. The 5th model is basically a mixture of some of them, a hybrid model called the Meta model. 

Each model symbolizes a prevalent superstition, practice, or field of study intimately linked to the functioning of magic within their specific environments. The original guide by Frater U.D., the creator of this analytical framework, serves to elucidate the origins of these models, enabling one to differentiate among them. The model system may appear somewhat unfinished; however, fundamentally: the spirit model pertains to the belief in a higher power, the energy model to the manipulation of life force, the psychological model to altered states of consciousness, subconscious programming, sigilization, and so forth, while the information model relates to the actualization of intentions.

Psionics is an umbrella term for psychic abilities— or at least that's what it used to be. The Psionics community has mostly rejected the "Psychic agenda", which was infiltrated by cold readings and staged acts, and created their own naming system for abilities. Many eastern concepts have been excluded in modern practice by psions, though if mentioned it is kept within the context of the origin. Kundalini especially. You wouldn't want to be doing that with a method that's not Hindu of origin. Certain aspects of eastern philosophy are just westernized and used instead of them to avoid appropriation, such as spiritual energy and tulpamancy.

The definition most applicable to modern Psionics at this point is the practice, study, or psychic ability of using the mind to induce paranormal phenomena.

Described using the models of CM, Psionics would predominantly be occupied by the information model method-wise, subtly using the spirit model and energy model to bring forth results. The psychological model is used occasionally for training requisite aspects of the mind needed to develop new abilities.

Connections

Linking is the act of creating active bridges connecting intent, operator, target, or construct. Structural links are subsets of larger constructs that serve to relay information or effects, created consciously and purposefully. Conceptual links, on the other hand, are applied automatically and unknowingly as we connect different words or ideas together while structuring or thinking out a spell—such as linking "protect" and "me" to form "protect me." Links can be established with people, objects, organisms, concepts, and thoughtforms. Repeated chanting of incantations is a prime example of building a conceptual link; saying the intent out loud multiple times drives it deep into the mind. The mind interprets what is spoken, and once the mage fully "understands," they enter a flow state close to gnosis, allowing the spell to lock in. The mind makes these connections naturally as you repeat the exact same intent over and over to solidify that flow. ...

Short Guide To Thoughtforms

Magical Conceptualization: Basic Thoughtforms The Foundations of Metaphysical Conceptuality In the metaphysical realm, various conceptualized entities, representations, and personifications exist, which hold significance within different belief systems. These entities often share similarities across these systems, with one likely being a modified version of another. Typically, they embody one or more facets of life, and people may invoke them, hoping these entities will influence certain aspects of their lives or grant their desires. Most deities align with a range of human-like archetypes. The "humanity" in these archetypal deities becomes more evident as society progresses as these godforms maintain their age-old characteristics within their respective belief systems and rituals. This raises the question: How can we construct a timeless belief system, but still be "human" enough for people to relate to? This can be answered by examining various human archetypes . ...

Enchanting

Knowing how to imbue your intent into objects is a common skill learnt accidentally by most witches. It's the first step towards finding the magickal method that works best for you, as it's a key component to strengthening your magickal workings. The most important things enchanting produces are: sigilization, blessed water, protective charms, spell jars, spell candles and any other form of sympathetic magick. Austin Osman Spare, the father of Chaos Magic, used a method of manifestation where he drew pictures of what he wanted to happen over and over again. They started to work the more he drew them. The image itself becomes charged the more it gets drawn— within flow state. Gnosis is important for "charging" items, which requires flow state if you cannot use any other gnostic states. But if you're not artsy and can't access creative flow, then this method is going to be a little hard. The acquisition of naturally magical objects are rather interesting. Whe...
