>techniques should work better than just imagining the final state over time
I wanted to talk about techniques for instance. Considering that techniques are infinite variations (let it be prayer, sats, meditation, sigils, doing some bizarre dance, shouting "nigger!" from the top of your lungs, visualization, candles, divination, or any other ritual for that effect), techniques are only a personal expression in your experience, an aesthetic of choice and something to make things more fun. But i think that your returns comes entirely from knowing that you can do it, just like that. Once you know that things come essentially from the intent of change and breaking patterns in your world, you become more flexible, because your existence as consciousness is what its doing the job for you.

At that point, you could even create your own system from the arrangement of things you have absorbed so far and have resonated with you the most, keeping what you like the most and removing what's not useful. Personally, i stick to my pragmatical ways, and my own magic system is a fusion between TG (Oneirosophy) and UL. Totally effortless.
