I followed one of the directives immediately. I read and benefited from the advice given in the article so I decided to become a paid subscriber. Thank you!
You’re presenting a strong framework...but I’d take it further...
When luck is understood non-temporally and non-cyclically, it shifts into something deeper...what I’d call a meta-mythic pre-recursion vector. At that level, luck isn’t random or earned...it’s a malleable structure, responsive to aligned intent...especially in low-entropy (less competitive) fields.
This is why general gambling is psyche-static...you’re just submitting to probabilities. But advantage gambling is psyche-dynamic...you’re actively syncing will to structure...shaping outcomes by anchoring the loop.
Luck then becomes less about favor and more about resonance pressure...a system that bends in response to coherence.
In aggregate luck is indistinguishable from grace imo.
I’m newly sober, after 35 years of daily use and having convinced myself it wasn’t possible for me. Sobriety has granted me power in ways I didn’t expect.
I’m reading Practical Magick now and am consistently impressed with your thoughts and your work. I hope you might consider being my podcast guest this season, as your work has inspired so much of my own.
His book "The Scalpel and the Soul" is excellent, especially about his time in Africa. He has an innate respect for the spirit world as something not to be dismissed. "Occult America" is next on my to-read list.
I believe in making conscious, informed decisions which then open up opportunities.
But are we choosing what is truly right for our unique selves?
—The Nature of My Reality (my book)
Luck is often just passive decision-making.
If you leave your future up to the state, or to any authority other than your own human action, what you call luck is simply what happened when you gave your power away.
This is not the same as trusting G•d or Source.
Alignment with purpose reveals itself through synchronous events.
Yes, I did read it. And that’s why I came back to comment. I agree that you’re setting up certain principles. But luck is not built from technique—in my experience. It reveals itself through coherence. That’s how I live my reality: through alignment with action, not passive faith. And faith and trust are two different things.
The connection to G•d is individual, and Source is something that can be aligned from within. No kind of ruling or behavior will ever substitute any presence that is based on sovereignty and freedom.
At the core, there is always human action. And this is where my principles lie, and where I find my own integrity.
I read your books. I appreciate what you give to the world. I’m not here to contradict them—just to give my own point of view.
Rock solid insights and advice! Thanks Mitch

Thank you so much -M-

Very well said.
Another excellent piece, Mitch!

Happy new moon. Thank you for what you do.
Was the neurosurgeon Dr. Allan Hamilton?
yes
His book "The Scalpel and the Soul" is excellent, especially about his time in Africa. He has an innate respect for the spirit world as something not to be dismissed. "Occult America" is next on my to-read list.
Wow! It was a book I read once then took to a used book store (space is limited!) then missed it so much I had to buy it again. So it's a keeper.
I published The Scalpel and the Soul at Penguin Random House. That's how we know each other.
I don’t believe in luck.

Best to read the piece first.
