The Art of Invisibility

I remember this show in the 70's where this guy thought he could become invisible and throughout the show, he would walk around buck naked believing that no one could see him. Please don't do that. It doesn't work that way.

So how does this thing called Invisibility work? Definition is quite simple. It is the art of not being seen. It doesn't mean that you can pass through walls and it doesn't mean that you can not be heard. It also doesn't mean that you can not be seen. What it does is that it prevents you from being remembered and it does this by preventing you from being noticed.

It works like this. As an example ask yourselves if last Tuesday were you the only one on the road as you drove to work? The answer most likely to be, no. What was the color of the car that was directly in front of you just before you parked your car? Why is it that so many people are unable to answer this question? Obviously it is not difficult to notice the color of a car and obviously you needed to notice this car else you would have rear ended it.

The reason is simple. You don't remember the color because it failed to leave an impression on you. Why did it not leave an impression? The answer is because the mind subconsciously determines what is important and what is not and that which is not important is not retained.  The only way that you are able to remember something that is not important to you is by choosing to do so consciously. Law Enforcement is an example of such people that do this. College students who hate a particular subject is another example of people that do this.

Now how does this relate to how invisibility works? The objective is to avoid falling into any of those situations that may cause you to be remembered. Don't do anything noticable less you would be remembered. Avoid attracting the focus of anyone who is consciously trying to remember the moment else you will be remembered.

Sounds pretty much mundane thus far, yes? Well it's not. Without the use of magic, the odds are pretty high that you will be noticed. Without the use of magic you don't stand a chance of hiding from another magical person.

Noise and the Art of Invisibility

Remember that car situation? Let us say that such a car backfired from it's exhaust pipe. Can anyone tell me what the model of the car was? Surely, you must have heard the noise or you wouldn't have known that it in fact backfired. What does that tell you about the old saying that in order not to be seen, you have to be really quite?

It is not how loud you are that is important, but what kind of noise you make and there are two kinds of noises. Noise that blends into the background and noise that disrupts the background. Can you hear a car drive by? Yes, if it disturbs the silence. No, if it is one in a procession of cars rolling down the freeway.

Of both types of noises they can be further divided into two more types of noises thus totaling four types of noises. These two types of distinguishing factors are physical noise and magical noise. You now have background physical noise, background magical noise, disrupting physical noise and disrupting magical noise.

Regarding the physical noise, I can't help you on that and it will require your own common sense to control such factors. Tip-toe if you must and hide behind coat racks if you feel it is prudent, but should you scream, "Go Trojans!" at a Notre Dame pep rally; I can't help you with not being seen.

What is Magical Noise?

Magical noise is basically anything perceived externally and magically, that  doesn't have a specific meaning or intention thus is uninterpretable and is perceived as something indescribable but noticeable. In other words noise that is magical.

As I have written in previous chronicles, we have a physical body and a ethereal body. Our ethereal body emits various perceivable items. One is magic, another is emotions and also our state of mind, all of which in one form or another can be translated into auras, vibrations, mind states and psychic impressions.

These are the things that others may perceive and although some may be able to identify and understand what it is they are perceiving others may not. In any case, I call such perceivable tangibles in simple terms as magical noise.

The ethereal plane is like the surface of water. Anything that you do will cause a ripple. Try to cause as little as possible the amount of ripple and if you must ripple, hide them among existing ripples.

Magical Noise - Disruptive

As I have just written, there are two types of noise and disruptive magical noise is noise that attracts attention. Let's say for example that you are angry and you walk into a room of psychics. They will know that something has changed and eventually trace it to you. The same can be said if the room was filed with aura interpreters or if you were happy while everyone else was sad.

Magical people are generally in touch with their Self and when they perceive something that they know is not coming from them, the obvious conclusion is that it is from something else. Should this perception be something of significant pleasure or displeasure, it will stand out and the perceiver will attempt to locate the source.

Why do they locate the source? Human nature. Displeasure annoys the dickens out of people and pleasure is something we instinctually pursue in life.

Magical Noise - Background

Let us say that you walk into a room and you are happy, but this time instead of everyone being sad; the people there ran the gambit of emotions here from happy all the way to angry. Congadulations! you are now a needle in a hay stack. If the room was happy and you were to walk in there happy. You would be a piece of straw in a haystack.

Background noise is simply whatever is present and external of you. This noise can come from others and it can come from objects and also magically. Where ever it comes from, it is there and others are perceiving it as well as perceiving you.

Mechanics of Invisibility

Blending is the key. The better that you fade into the background the less likely you will be noticed. Physically, you'll just have to do your best, but magically here is the technique.

As I have written in previous chronicles. The interpretives are all connected. Mind States, Auras, Vibrations and Energies are all interwoven and when one changes, they all change.

When you walk into an area where you wish to be invisible. First take in everything. Allow yourself to be hit with everything present and try to get an impression of how that feels like. To use a metaphor, the objective here is not to taste the celery in a vegetable soup, but rather to taste the flavor of the vegetable soup itself.

Perform the MSID and lock this sensation into a mindstate. As you attempt to become invisible, simply maintain this mindstate.

Yes, it was a lot of description for a simple instruction, but you needed to understand what is going on in order to properly make it work. You will also need to periodically check the "vegetable soup" in order to insure that the ingredients have not changed.

Other types of Invisibility Spells

As you probable know, the art of invisibility is not an uncommon subject and many use such spells in rituals. The method that I have just covered is my prefered method and as such the one that I suggest to others in performing an invisibility spell.

Other types of spells and rituals may use another method where masking is not the attemp, but rather banishing is. This method attemps to banish the interpretives, thus there is nothing to perceive. Although such rituals and spells are highly effecive in the art of invisibility, they are dangerous and as such I will not cover them.

The reason for their danger is that they are indescriminate and are also not so easily controlled. Once in effect the caster has little choice but to endure it until the effect is terminated. In other words, the banishing method is all or nothing, where all is everything and the caster is unable to pick and choose.

Due to the lack of control, the caster becomes vulnerable to physical harm. We often take for granted the importance of us being seen and it is only when we are run over by a truck that we wished they had seen us first.

The Cloak of Invisibility

The beauty of masking using mindstates is that if we are able to mask ourselves, we can mask anything. This we may attribute to the knowledge which we have gathered thus far with the use of mindstates.

Much like the charging of the talisman, To cloak an object simply requires masking it's natural signature to match it's surroundings, thus camoflaging it's location.

To do so, perform the MSID and acquire the mindstate of the local enviroment. Once you have attained this mindstate, charge the item with it.

Again a simple task, but one with karmic implications. To cloak an object is to become responsible for doing so. Consider seriously how performing such a task will impact others and yourself. It is very easy to missuse this technique for selfish reasons and also carelessness can attribute to causing others harm.

Cloak a parking space so that it will be there when you return and you risk a pedestrian getting hit, should the pedestrian attempt to cross the street out of your parking space.

Cloaking a job openning because you want the job may cause others more worthy for the job to suffer. Not an issue if you pursue the job, but should you decline and leave the cloak standing, these people will have suffered for no reason. 

Cloak your jewelry so thieves wont find it and the next thing you know, your jewelry is gone and you can't find it.

Hiding the Truth

The art of deception is a delicate art and not one acquired easily. Yes, it is possible to deceive a magical person, but not without emmence effort and practice.

The majority of magical people are not able to deceive each other, but occasionally you will run into those that have mastered this art. To do so, they would have to be quite powerful and with that power I am hoping the wisdom came with it.

That is all that I shall comment on this as the art of disception is not something I wish to share with others. However, you have been hereby informed that there are those that have mastered such techniques. 

What is a Magician?

In this world there are three types of people. Those that make things happen, those that watch things happen and those that wonder, "What happened?". The Magicians make things happen. They are the ones that shape this world and create history in the present.

The Magician is the leader. He does not follow the masses because he sees the world for what it truly is. He sees the future and the past and knows how every decision he makes affects this world before he commits to any decision. Even when he chooses not to lead, others are drawn to him and he must either lead or isolate himself, thus transending to the Hermit stage of existence.

The Magician fears nothing. The physical to the Magician is irrelevant when the Magician has total control over the Ethereal and he or she knows that the physical must follow the Ethereal.

Magicians are succesful and prosperous. Financially, they exist comfortably and although financial gain is not the primary goal of the Magician, proper karmic existence is. The Magician understands and sees money for what it truly is. It is mankind's way of controlling power, and power in it's purest form is karmic related.

The great magician Henry Aggrippa once said that Magicians are not made, they are born in the womb. This implies that not everyone can become a magician. Truth is that a Magician is not made and therfore can never be undone. The Magician is born and he or she is born in every one of us.

The Magician is within you and you must find the Magician as he or she holds the keys to your Magic. The Magician is your true Self, born when you were born. The Magician is the one and only power and friend you can truly depend on. In the end, all that is left is you and the Magician and the Magician is in fact your reflection.
