I just wanted to emphasize that there is such a dynamic in learning transformations, especially in 'probability/spell magic' since I felt like that aspect was missing, or at least under-expressed.

Yea, I agree. That's pretty much what most of my life about: figuring out how and "where" I am not allowing myself to live the way I want. Basically learning the things you're talking about.

You're totally right that there is so much deep down in my intentionality that is against any would be "magick."

To continue with an unrelated thought.

I think I've realized what may be one possible barrier for me in magic although I haven't thought it through in detail yet. On the one hand I am hesitant to believe that everyone can do magic because I don't want to be in a situation where others are more magically powerful than me since I'm currently magically weak. Seems dangerous.

On the other hand I have deep tendencies toward egalitarianism and tending to see the same rules that apply to others as applying to me.

As a result I think there's a conflict that makes it much tougher to do magic.

Same here. I think in some spiritual sense we must have similar background. I can relate to what you're saying almost all the time.
