Meta-Magick - Magick and NLP - Up/Down Thinking
In this clip from a live seminar, Philip H. Farber demonstrates a basic principle of Meta-Magick, that where and how you place your attention can influence your reality. In this exercise, Phil places his attention up and is easy to lift, then places his attention down and is difficult to lift. This exercise and the exercise in Attention Influences Reality are borrowed from martial arts to make a magical point - and this demonstration becomes very useful when taken with other Meta-Magick techniques.
Meta-Magick draws on diverse roots, including Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), martial arts, memetics, applied kinesiology, hypnosis, yoga, Taoism, neuro-scientific discoveries, and much more, in addition to Western esoteric traditions. Meta-Magick offers tools and systems to uncover, observe and replicate phenomena in ways that can be calibrated and tested. "Meta" means "above" or "beyond," and "Meta-Magick" signifies magick that enables us to think about magick and produce magick. It is magick about magick.
