This episode is about something raw, something primal—triggers—and why they matter far more than you think.
Let me be blunt. This year, I’m not playing nice. I intend to offend, disrupt, and trigger. Why? Because the world is drowning in nonsense. We have an epidemic of confident fools and silent sages. Those with no knowledge speak loudest, and those with depth have been shamed into whispers. The result? A digital wasteland of recycled opinions, superficial wisdom, and emotional landmines.
It’s time to clean house.
I’m here to inject this year with something rare: truth-telling. And that truth doesn’t ask for your comfort. It demands your transformation.
“You cannot be free while your triggers dictate your fate. Liberation begins by rewriting the internal map.”
“The greatest Book of Shadows is written not in ink, but in the neurons and scars of your emotional body.”
Triggers Are Sigils: Emotional triggers function as personal sigils—symbols charged through lived experience, which control perception and reaction until consciously rewritten.
Reality is Perceived Through Memory: We don’t see reality as it is, but through a memory-based lens shaped by emotional history and cultural conditioning.
Spiritual Power Lies in Internal Mapping: Mastering magic is not about external rituals, but about deciphering your internal correspondence system—the way your nervous system reacts to symbolic stimuli.
Unresolved Triggers Equal Slavery: As long as you are reactive to symbols, you are not a magician—you are a slave to past conditioning.
The Initiatory Path Requires Ego Death: True initiation demands the death of your current self-concept, which means breaking identification with inherited trauma, triggers, and belief systems.
Perspective Is Power: Viktor Frankl’s logotherapy proves that perception determines outcome—even under the worst conditions. The magician always chooses empowering meanings.
High Black Magic Is Emotional Alchemy: Transforming negative associations into empowerment is the real work of ‘dark’ magick—not evil, but reclamation.
Your Book of Shadows Is Your Nervous System: While grimoires help, your most potent magical manual is the emotionally charged landscape of your own psyche.
Grounding Requires Integration, Not Fantasy: Real grounding is emotional and relational integration, not visualization. Imagining roots does not equal feeling safe.
Change the Pattern, Change the Life: Unless the emotional triggers are reprogrammed, no external ritual will bring lasting transformation.
“High black magic is the art of transforming shame into sovereignty and fear into fuel.”
“Magic is not something you do—it is someone you become by mastering the symbols within.”
Masculinity is broken. Femininity is distorted. Women are told their only path to power is commodifying their bodies on platforms like OnlyFans. Men believe their only way to receive love is by chasing money. The sickness isn’t capitalism itself—it’s our warped interpretation of value, self-worth, and love.
What’s the antidote? Spirituality. Not the incense-and-crystals brand of spirituality, but the raw, rooted, re-centering of the self.
Here’s the paradox: we suffer the game as long as we define ourselves by it. When your identity is defined externally—by social likes, financial status, or approval—you’re just a pawn. True sovereignty starts with reclaiming your internal map.
People are walking bundles of unconscious reactions. Say the wrong name—Elon Musk, Kali, Jordan Peterson—and people erupt. But these eruptions don’t come from logic. They come from symbols lodged in the nervous system like splinters in the skin.
You don’t see reality as it is. You see it through the filter of memory.
This is the real meaning behind my phrase: “Love thy mystery more than thy history.” We live in patterns. Neurologically, emotionally, spiritually. Your nervous system fires off associations based on what it’s learned from trauma, culture, and childhood. That’s not you. That’s your programming.
And here’s the kicker: a trigger is a sigil. A magical symbol. It rules you—until you reclaim the meaning behind it.
Reality is made of symbols. Symbols are the language of the subconscious. That’s not just mysticism—it’s psychology.
When a symbol fires a trigger in you, it bypasses your rational mind and goes straight into emotional memory. That’s where magic happens—or where you become its slave.
To reclaim your sovereignty, you must understand your own correspondence system—the network of meanings and emotional associations embedded in your nervous system. That’s your real Book of Shadows.
In martial arts, when one opponent is relaxed, it forces the other to relax. The same applies in magic, activism, and influence. Rage breeds rage. Calm diffuses chaos.
The real magician knows how to enter “Kaio”—calm presence—and from there, lead others emotionally. This isn’t just good strategy. It’s spiritual leadership.
You can’t claim to be a practitioner of magic or mysticism and still be ruled by your triggers. That’s not empowerment—that’s enslavement. That’s why I say:
You are either the King or Queen of Hell, or you are its prisoner.
Your shadow—your pain, shame, fear—is not the enemy. It’s your greatest teacher. When you transform your emotional relationship with those shadows, you don’t just survive them. You wield them.
This is high black magic: taking the very forces that once enslaved you and converting them into power.
It’s not just negative symbols that trigger us. Love, beauty, charisma—these too are emotional traps if not understood. When you fall in love, you’re falling into a correspondence map written in your nervous system. You don’t love them. You love what they represent. Know the difference.
We are blind alchemists searching for nature while nature walks right beside us.
Forget memorizing Crowley’s correspondences. Forget debating which spirit belongs to which sphere. Your magic doesn’t start in a temple. It starts with your inner reality—your dreams, your triggers, your emotions.
Study those. Map those. Reprogram those.
Because if you don’t, someone else will.
Real spiritual growth is not about adding more titles, rituals, or robes. It’s about the death of self. The ego must dissolve—through dark nights, through suffering, through ego death—before the higher self can emerge.
You must become nothing before you can become everything.
The greatest magical text you will ever read is your own heart and dreams. Interpret your dreams as a living myth. Watch the symbols repeat across nights. Track how you feel when triggered. Notice what irritates you in others—that’s the shadow trying to speak.
Transform the symbol and you transform the self.
