This was gripping! I devoured it and took copious notes. It reminded me of so many magical moments in my life, seen through fresh eyes.
I remembered a time in 2019, I did a ritual in Zuccotti Park in NYC, to call back parts of myself I had left there eight years earlier. At the time, I had practically no "formal" knowledge or understanding of magick, it just felt like the right thing to do. Then, three months later, I was gifted an 8-week introduction to magick course that radically changed my entire life - inner, outer, my goals, the path, all of it. To begin the course, we made a formal declaration to the universe, spoke aloud our intention to become a magician. I remember the solemn power of that moment, the reverence I had for it even then. It's been six years since that moment and ... it's hard for me to even remember what I "used to be" like, what my hobbies were, what my thoughts were like, because finding magick lit up changed me so completely. Without being overly dramatic, it really did "give me something to live for". It's also brought me more challenges than I could have ever imagined, and in many ways I'm "worse off" (at least financially / logistically / socially) than I was before, but the trade off... what I've gained in terms of intrinsic motivation and connection to a "path", the enthusiasm with which I explore my inner world, the lens through which I view my reality ... I wouldn't (and couldn't) imagine trading it for anything. I've been remembering that vow I took, and fantasizing about taking a pilgrimage to NYC and recommitting myself to my path, to reunite with the parts I lost connection with recently. Your beautiful description of your own declaration lit a fire within me to go do it.
Thank you for this, it really charged me up today with optimism and determination! And I was thrilled to read of all your success as of late... so well deserved. I'm so grateful to you for sharing so much of your life with us. 🔥
Wow, reading this meant a lot. I have been immersing myself in Neville Goddard's Power of Awareness and the last years in 1972, by you, and this account of your journey and the practical application in the real world resonated profoundly. I have struggled, often with being dishonest with myself, and the authenticity in this article hit home. Very grateful!
Thank you for this. I own most of your books and have followed some of your teachings (once with a result that changed my view of reality). For me the most difficult thing is being clear about what I really want and sticking with it - it feels so selfish. But I can’t shake it and it doesn’t seem to be my choice in a way. Your honesty is so helpful!
Thank you so much. Your question about an early memory truly shocked me when I asked myself. I am a highly mental person, and every time I read your writings on this topic, I frustrate myself with intellectual and objective wanderings instead of finding that intuitional and emotional center where my wish might rest. Or perhaps finding it in both. I think too much lol. But I believe that question about an early memory moved something in me as I only have one memory from 3-4. Thank you!
This was a wonderful read. I was scared off magic for awhile when I started to see my wishes coming true, because be careful what you wish for. It’s often not what you think it will be.
I found that this article helped me consolidate my thoughts, and provided good food for thought. It also reminded me that I need to start keeping those things (my sincerest wishes) private. Thank you
thank you. inertia and ennui, a bane. thank you for the focus which opposes such. I am going to make a go of your approach. you make a reference to the ennui generation: is it literally a generation, eg. those born with Pluto in Leo? or is it broader?
This was an incredible read. I am so elated for you and your journey, and so thankful that you selflessly share it. That is real power - to know something and to not keep it only for yourself.
Thanks for including the letter from the inmate - it gave me a sense of maybe you are not just another white privileged male who is "man"infesting". And for that I'll keep reading you.

I discovered that Bob Dylan quote last year and I really love it. Thank you for sharing your
truth and wisdom…
I Love You Brother Mitch; been a Fan, an avid reader and listener of your Work and Fellow Seeker for many years now —Good Medicine! ThankYou! 👊🏾♥️🤙🏾🔥
I really enjoyed reading this. Just what I needed at this moment. Thank you.
Hi Mitch, whenever I receive your email, it looks like spam due to the way your name is bolded and in a different font.
