A Key to Magick

I just realized a little key to effective magick. I heard this from Michael Beckwith in an interview with Bill Harris. He said that the universe can't recognize the difference between real action and symbolic action. So whenever you're working with "natural magnetism" (as Levi would put it), though you must act to bring about the results you want, those actions can be representations of the actual actions.
An intention without the will to act built into it is entirely impotent. You cannot just think and feel the things you want and have no intentions of acting on that. That sends a very definite intention out to the universe, and it's not really a very healthy one. Not only is it ineffective but it's libel to nurture some very disgusting habits.
There must be a will to act built into your intentions. The universe reflects back to you everything you put out. Every thought and emotion you experience literally changes the fabric of reality. So if your intention is idle you will see idleness, both in yourself and in others. But if you are willing to act you see willingness to act, both is yourself and in others.
Good news is, though, your actions can be symbolic. This is a great key to most practical magick. Now you can dance with ideas, have love affairs with your divinity, wine and dine your greatest potential, and thereby create them.
