Yes, I understand that belief plays the important role of whether or not one will approach this area of work. But is all of this based off the imagination? Do I imagine the energy flowing through me, doing as I want it to do, and it will happen? Will someone please elaborate?

I love the notion that we all have a unique energy system within all of us that if utilized correctly, can produce some results that are not seen everyday, i.e. super feats of strength, psychokinesis, etc. My question is, what exactly is this "energy"? How do I touch it? Okay, I know it's not something you actually touch . . . or is it? Is it akin to how I would flip a switch to allow the flow of electricity to power a light bulb? No, I'm not disagreeing with the existence of this phenomena; I'm just irritated that I can't seem to start experiencing my own kind of cool things.

I thank you both for your responses and you have my blessings. Yes Principle, you're correct in that even atheists must have a belief in an ultimate power of which they are apart of, and I'm beginning to accumulate such conviction. DH, I deeply appreciate your prayers, as I truly believe they have taken affect

May you all live long and prosper

Just to make sure everyone knows that this posting belongs on this forum, I am asking for my depression to be healed in any way you are willing to do: prayers, chants, etc. I very much appreciate the help. This thread also asks about any suggestions or guidance I could take on so I can learn how to heal myself.

I don't know where exactly to post this, but I think this forum has the most bearing to what I want to reveal, so bear with me.

I honestly don't know what is wrong with me. However, I strongly feel it is connected to my attempts of inner energy manipulation. I've been trying this for a couple of years now, and the only results I've had are negative. It's as though I've been tearing myself apart, but rest assured I haven't been physically doing that. Its just that a couple years back, I could see a definite difference between who I was then and who I am now: the simplest things now make me cringe. I'm guilty as charged to being the one of millions of people wanting so much unreal power, and I was foolish to not regard the consequences. So I'm stopping myself from doing anything pertaining to inner work, until I can get some guidance, which is where this posting comes in. And hopefully someone with honed healing abilities will alleviate the pain I feel.

Out of curiosity: I am atheist, but must I have faith in something beyond myself in order to do any metaphysical workings?

Any help would be appreciated.

I thank you both for the responses, and apologize to everyone for my rude behavior on these forums. I have adopted a better attitude. Mydrai, you bring a good point, and I am practicing with my beliefs to allow myself magickal practice. I know getting discouraged early on won't solve anything. Alaskans, I like what you said about society being a hindrance on actual logic. It makes sense that after Copernicus and Galileo, we completely erase the prospects of soul interaction with the physical realm. Perhaps its mainly based off our fear of mysticism.

Again, thanks for the responses.

I take it the new person is not welcome on these forums, right?

Hello everyone. I'm new to these forums, so bear with the newbie, lol! I'm trying to search for information pertaining to the creation of spells and how to know they are effective. Well, actually, that last part on knowing it works is why I'm really here. I already know that one needs to truly believe the spell has been casted in order for it to work, but I am a very analytical person, and really want to break out of that mindset. I want to allow myself the freedom of belief, but I can't seem to control what that is. If anyone has any suggestions, please respond.
