⁂ Draft of Part 1 of the Treatise of True Will ⁂ Let me define Will. Will is the ability to make a state of reality happen. In other words, it can be understood as one's influence on reality. And thus Magick, specifically with a k at the end, could be understood as The Application of Will.
For example, being able to blow a candle out being able to achieve results from scientific experiments being able to hold one's emotions back when need be being able to transcend humanity
Whether or not you believe that a certain state of reality may be possible to achieve or not, the definition of Will is not based off of that. If anyone or anything is able to achieve a state of reality, then they simply have the Will to do so.
Ignoring the exception of only ONE entity, There is no absolute free will and nor is there absolute determinism. Will is actually a spectrum where some people or entities have more Will than others and where some people or entities have less Will than others.
For Example, The soil has less Will than the plant using it, The plant has less Will than the rabbit eating it, The rabbit has less Will than the cat hunting it, The cat has less Will than the person housing it, The person has less Will than an con-artist tricking them, and even the con-artist must give in and operate according to the laws of reality itself, in order to achieve their deeds. Everyone has less Will than the universe whose laws of reality and physics dictate the changing existence of all people and all the celestial objects within the universe, And finally the universe has less Will than the ONE thing that made it come into being.
However, it is apparent that there will be some people or entities which can preform certain tasks more easily than others or be able to perform tasks that others can not perform. Thus, there are different types of Wills.
The Type of Will refers to The ability to make certain types of states of reality happen as opposed to other ones.
For Example, A gardener can yield crops more easily than other people A bodybuilder can lift more easily than other people A dog can hear frequencies that people can't hear
If one were to merge all of the different Types of Will that one has, then you would get the Magnitude of Will.
The Magnitude of Will is the total amount of states of reality than one can make happen. In other words, it refers to the total amount of Will that one actually has or all the things that someone can influence in reality.
Thus, The more states of reality that one can make happen regardless of the method that is used the more Will that any entity would have.
And in return, The less states of reality that one can make happen regardless of the method that is used the less Will that any entity would have.
For Example, Despite a dog being able to hear some frequencies that others can't, the person is able to do more things than the dog overall.
And most importantly, one's Will is not a static entity. It naturally changes as one grows up and experiences things in life. There are some scenarios where we either lose or give up our Will and some scenarios where we gain or direct our Will over others. Additionally, the rate at which our Will changes can happen either quickly or slowly, often or rarely, gradually or even suddenly. This is how fluid one's Will can be.
For example, Leaving work to do what you want will increase your Will suddenly
Entering a coma will decrease your Will suddenly
Growing up as an adult will increase your Will gradually
Reaching a very old age will decrease your Will gradually
Thus there is the Fluctuation of Will. The Fluctuation of Will is the change in the total amount of states of reality that one has the ability to make happen. In other words, it is the change in the Magnitude of Will, and most simply, it is the change of Will.
While I can understand that being born a certain way, being stuck in a poor environment, being traumatized at a young age, and facing other unforeseen factors are things that clearly no one wanted and were outside the influence of their Will, this does not mean that free will does not exist.
Everyone and everything will always have some amount of Will. For some people, they will get enough chances to gain enough Will and the right Type of Will to overcome their circumstances. And for others, unfortunately they did not get enough chances, at least not in their lifetime. I weep for those unfortunate souls.

⁂ Draft of Part 2 of the Treatise of True Will ⁂ Change refers to the process of one state of reality becoming another state of reality. Since the general definition of change is so broad there are many types of Changes.
For example, if something is moved, then something has changed from the state of not being moved into being moved
if something has happened, then something has changed from the state of not having happened, into having happened.
if something is created, then something has changed from the state of not being created, into being created
if something is controlled, then something has changed from the state of not being controlled, into being controlled
And whenever any type of Change happens, there must always be an entity or state that is changed, an entity that changes something, and a faculty with which the entity or state is changed.
Everything that is changed must always have a faculty with which it is changed Otherwise, it would not have the ability or Will to change.
And everything that is changed, must always have something which changes it Otherwise, it would not have changed in the first place.
For example, Everything that is moved, must have something which moves it and a space within which it is moved. If there was no space, then what is moved would have no space to move within. If there was no mover, then what is moved would not have moved in the first place.
Everything that has happened, must have something which causes it to happeen and a time within which it has happened. If there was no time then what has happened would have no time to happen within. If there was no causer then what has happened would not have happened in the first place.
Everything that is created, must have something which creates it and a space within which it is created. If there was no space, then what is created would have no space to be created within. If there was no creator, then what is created would not have been created in the first place.
Everything that is controlled, must have something which controls it and a means with which it is controlled. If there was no means, then what is controlled would have no means to be controlled with. If there was no controller, then what is controlled would not have been controlled in the first place.
When change happens, it appears that it happens in a hierarchical way as if there are a chain of entities which change eachother from the highest to the lowest.
For example, The atoms are moved by the cells within the space of the cells' membrane.
The cells are moved by the organs within the space of organ's membrane
The organs are moved by the person within the body of the person
Every person on earth is moved by the rotation of the earth within the space of the earth
And the earth and the planets of the solar system are moved by the gravity of the sun within the space of the universe
According to modern science, It is said that the universe was created and that when it was created, it expanded outwards. And to this day, the universe is still expanding outwards. This implies that the state of the universe changed from not created to created and that it changed from not moved to moved.
And according to modern science, The universe itself is defined as being all of space, time, and everything that exists, has existed, or will exist. Thus, everything in the universe including itself, can refer to all of existence itself.
However, if the universe is constantly in motion, and if the universe is all of existence, then somehow, there would need to be a space that it is moved within otherwise it would not be able to move. And somehow, there would need to be something which moves it otherwise it could not have moved in the first place. And what is the universe being moved by and moved within if there is nothing else that exists but all of existence that is being moved?
One may propose that dark energy, other universes, or something else that exists outside of the observable universe, is the entity that functions as the space that the universe is moved within and/or the thing which universe is being moved by.
However, if those entities do exist, then they would all collectively make up one bigger unobservable universe and all of their existences would collectively make up all of existence. And if those entities are things which were created and moved in the same way that the universe was then wouldn't these entities also require a space that they are moved within and something which moved them?
Therefore, there is only one possible type of entity which can resolve this paradox. This entity is something that has properties which allows it to be outside of existence itself.
If this entity were outside of existence, then there would never be a time for this entity to come into existence and come out of existence. It would have always been.
If this entity were outside of existence, then there would never be a space for this entity to exist into or exist to out of. This entity would be the only thing left that could function as the space for all of existence.
If this entity were outside of existence, then there would never be a space for this entity to be moved into or be moved out of This entity would be the only thing left that could function as the mover for all of existence.
And if this entity were outside of existence, then there would never be a space for this entity to be created into or be destroyed out of since there is no one that would even exist to have the ability or the Will to create the entity.
Since the property of being outside of existence is what can actually allow an entity to function as the space that all of existence moves within and the thing that moves all of existence, this property would be the only way to systematically resolve the paradox.
[...]
However before we continue, there is one final paradox to resolve I claimed that in order to resolve our initial paradox, there would need to be an entity with certain properties that "exists" in order for my rules and examples regarding change and movement to be systematically consistent. Yet, if I am claiming that this entity has to be "outside of existence" then how would this entity be able to "exist" if I am also saying "it does not exist" Have I become mad? Well, there actually is a way to explain this.
[end of draft]
⁂ Commentary ⁂ Looking back on this, this draft even as a draft is quite crude and clumsy. Yet, despite its clumsiness it was the process of notetaking and thus its associated ruminated contemplation which finally sent me over the edge and generated the greatest truth I will ever know. The quality of that truth when I beheld it in my Nous (Hermetic) was so airy, invisible, forceless yet generated a sense of forceful awe in which for a good while I was disassociated. The initial comprehension from months back had finally become clear to me. What was even more scary is that, my mind is not very good at remembering things if I don't give them active recall. Furthermore, its very limp, it requires hours before the thoughts actually coalesce and allow me to compose new intelligent things or properly read things. I had some way realized that not only would I tend to forget the substantial content but even the thought process of conceptual associations itself would also be forgotten. Sometimes, it is not enough to know the facts, the knowledge also includes the reasoning and ultimately a network of associations which generate the thing which allows me to interpret information in a comprehending way. Even as I type this, some people would not quite fully comprehend the "interpretation key" concept or the "Stoic Katalepsis" I speak of unless they had internalized the understanding of something similar to what I'm describing prior. Basically when this whole draft was written, I was aware that I was on a time limit and that the very moment I stopped working on this, I would lose the mental qualities required to write down the reasoning. And before this was written, I had struggled with working out some fundamental claims regarding the Triad of Motion and its conflation with the mechanics of Change until I calmed down, did a reset, and payed better attention to the sources I was reading. Basically, I will always find it amazing how a chain of innocuous events could lead to such a thing and how everything aligned just right for this to happen in the way it did. No attempt at Part 3 has been made yet. I felt like to define Part 3, the Nature of the Absolute has to be defined and well understood first, similar to how Stoic Physics ends up interweaving with and informing Stoic Ethics. the Nature of the Absolute and Will is what allows for the defining of True Will Alignment. In the future when Part 2 gets finished, I speculate that after reading Buddhism, it will probably get an overhaul and instead start from the position of Illusionary Manifestation first and end up into Existence instead of the clumsy way I did it here. Ironic considering the mainstream Buddhists tend to shy from asserting an ultimate reality. Thus, it is my Monist and Perennialist Panentheism which is what fundamentally binds all of these ideas together. ⁂ Sources ⁂ (Kybalion) //unsure about what specifically I used but uh, clearly something from that was involved. (The Corpus Hermeticum) sacred-texts.com/chr/herm/hermes2.htm(The Bopian Philosophy) nethood.boards.net/thread/971/bopian-philosophy//yeah, this is exactly what I meant by, how bizzare the butterfly effect can be. You're telling me my once bizarrely held prejudice against fat people led to a post that fundamentally contributed to my enlightenment? All roads lead to Brahman I guess. Ahaha.

Around and Before 3/28/2024:
Recently had a "panic attack" again, it has definitely led to some fascinating insights. Perhaps this will help future me as well.
I've noticed that this episode of negative psycho-somatic experiences seems to function a lot like the previous one where the actual problem was high blood pressure and dizziness as its secondary main symptom. Everything else is basically a bunch of very vivid psycho-somatic illusions which are fundamentally exaggerations of those two fundamental symptoms. What I find fascinating however is I think I'm beginning to recognize the internal logic of how these symptoms arise.
I think what happens is that the mind starts to think something is wrong but it doesn't actually know what's wrong and can't properly recognize what's wrong. So, it comes up with this kinda primordial gnarling eldritch hunch of what's wrong and then generates the psycho-somatic symptoms based off of that hunch as a way to perform confirmation bias to its suspicion. I guess it might also produce actual physical changes as well (such as the increase in heart rate) if it thinks it needs to do that. Why does it feel compelled to do that? Well I'm assuming that the body produces these sensations because fundamentally they are designed to alert you if you have a health issue for the sake of survival, evolution, yadda yadda. Basically if future me reads this, please just realize that it's most likely your blood pressure + dizziness. Use this as the new understanding and generate memories using that understanding as a filter. This will eventually change the quality of the subconscious and cause it to refilter the sensations via that understanding.
In short, what I experience is basically the equivalent of a sleep paralysis episode but while awake and localized within the body. My mind is able to produce a rather vivid and complex array of imaginary sensations that feel genuinely real. The thing that's consistent about these sensations is that they tend to be kinda bizzare, unnecessarily chaotic, and logically inconsistent. Basically once the mind has planted this wrong understanding of what's wrong in the subconscious, it basically becomes my reality for the time being. As a fun sidenote to give you an idea of how ridiculous this can get, I once somehow generated this minutes long intense searing pain that I got from just bending my wrist slightly. It is comical how the gravity of the consequence barely even correlates to that simple action yet I was completely convinced at the time and the pain felt very real. I have also felt pins and needles throughout the entire body for hours at a time and a variety of others highlights I'd love to share at a later date.
The usual way that I escape "the dream" is when I notice these logical inconsistencies which causes me to analyze or play around with the sensations themselves. In fact, one really weird hack is that if I can move the sensation and feel it move around, it somehow profoundly communicates to my subconcious that what I'm experiencing is false. Otherwise, I have to guess and check the logical etiology of things and compare it to previous incidents. Once the proper etiology is found or that I at least gain a deeper subconscious realization that these sensations are false and gain a genuine level of tranquility, it seems we now enter the ending phase. My Blood pressure drops, I feel a sense of physical and psychological fatigue and relief, and the adrenaline or whatever bizzare chemicals going on in there drop and everything is all good after 24 hours provided I lose awareness of whatever I just dealt with for that long.
This is not a clean description of the full thing as I kinda wanted to get my thoughts of the newer stuff down. I'll have to make a better compilation of this in the future because I find it so fascinating. I know my tone doesn't seem too serious here but do not be mistaken, these experiences are quite terrifying and nightmareish but I've learned to better punch back at them. These experiences are also really fascinating to me because it highlights to me just how powerful the mind is sometimes and the weird visceral way how mental essence is converted into and has a corresponding energy and sensation. All of our actions, creations, and sensations are a reflection of our mental energy. As above so below.
Final note, realized that I could use writing this as a way to enter a flow state to eliminate the blood pressure and dizziness. Went from 128/91 (BP stage 2) to 117/77 (Normal BP) in the span of an hour. Friggin amazing.

Change is not to stop at the mere elation of the idea. Change is not to accept something as wise and move on. Change only seems to happen when one takes what they accept as wise and begins to practice applying it to all facets of their life. When one applies the idea to facets in their life, one generates novel associations of the idea with their life. And when one generates novel associations, one generates a novel map of associations. And thus fundamentally your mind and consciousness will be filtered through those maps of associations. This is the point at which Change becomes tangible and experienced as a new reality. This mechanism is neither inherently good or bad and can be assumed to be flexible towards any situation.
While this may sound obvious, these observations are based off of those times when I observe people which seem to understand a virtue or positive prospect yet only seem to apply in limited or zero circumstances leading to hypocrisy or self-defeatism. Even if one is well meaning and clear with one's message, no change is ever guaranteed unless you can tell beforehand that they would gain the motivation to practice your message. As such most arguments and debates are a waste of time because there is no motivation to generate the associational map to even entertain or recognize the idea in one's awareness. Sometimes this is beyond misunderstanding. There is a fundamental lack of wanting to generate qualia.

And so it has begun. I step forth before the great cauldron and I accept the fate that is to come. boiled alive, all of my flesh, my sensation gone. In the midst of the syzygy of the fire and the water A great mist arises and recognizes its congenital origins. From it, it recognizes the ignorance of the soma and begins to align it back towards the unborn. after it has smelted its remains, it casts it back into shape, and upon its re-entry, the eye of heaven is opened. If I thought that the development of synapses were the end, what is to happen when the purified congenital mind is superimposed on the current developed mind and is then further augmented by an even higher awareness? And given the clarity of things I can intuit in this world, of what magnitude of change would occur then to this clarity? It feels unreal and yet I am only 5 steps away from that reality. It is not a matter of if, but when.

(I Was Shocked To Learn How Animals React to Solar Eclipses) /watch?v=-fkgb4yBUuk
"Some indigenous tribes of North America also have long-standing customs regarding behavior during an eclipse. The Navajo, for instance, are urged to remain indoors during the eclipse so that they are not tempted to look at it. They're also cautioned not to eat, drink, sleep, engage in physical activity, or be too talkative or loud during an eclipse. Some believe doing any of these things can lead to disease, disorders, insomnia, blindness, and other maladies. They say they learned not to do these things by watching how animals behave during an eclipse. Sheep, for example, will move to shade and huddle together, they won't graze or sleep until the eclipse is over. The Navajo have known for a long time that the environment changes during an eclipse, which is their explanation for the reason for the precautions above.
They believe it is a time for quiet reflection, contemplation, and prayer. They see an eclipse as an intimate embrace between the sun and moon, and a time when the sun (which they see as a father,) dies and is reborn. As such, they treat the occasion with solemnity and reverence, just as you would the passing of a loved one."

What is language? The discretization of perception. What is Pre-Kabbalistic? Before the hebrew letters. The slot of the element? the principle, the platonic form. The elements? Manifestation.
And so, after the Prisca Lingua's initial tzimtzum, further tzimtzumim begat younger languages whose composition leads to more restriction and derivation from the Absolute.
I have spoken amongst myself that 256 words are astral, that they are primordial. Minimal yet with enough depth, Broad and yet distinct.
If those 256 can really function as the core, the archetypical, then no matter how you splice them, you'll find them whole, no matter where you run, you'll always run back into them, no matter how you hide them, you'll always reveal more of them.
This could be the Nethood Language. The Nethood Creole.
