LOA and gnosis
by Michael Robin Cooke on Mar.05, 2009, under Kitschchaos
I’m working on stuff for this site. This site will get a makeover and I’m going to be adding some content. The Kitschchaos e-book I’m writing is still being worked on, but is on hold. Instead I’m updating ‘The Science of getting Rich’ by Wally Wattles – a classic of the ‘New Thought’ Law of Attraction material, with commentary and supplemental information – Zen meditation and sigil magic.
The Law of Attraction is a workable magical paradigm, but the idea that thoughts shape reality is incomplete without some coaching on how to shape your thoughts. There is also the ‘asshole’ side effect that Law of Attraction has on some people (examples: “I can’t be with you, you’re not supportive.” – “Your thoughts created your being raped!- fired!”).
I believe chaos magic has a LOT to offer Law of Attraction, especially the foundation idea: “Nothing is true, everything is permitted”. Just because you work with LOA (Law of Attraction) doesn’t mean it’s okay to allow it to become a source of prejudice or judgement.
This project brings up the paradox that is the idea of gnosis being key to magic. LOA doesn’t much involve gnosis in any explicite or conscious way, certainly folk magics like Hoodoo don’t either.
Now to get the uninitiated up to speed, the idea of gnosis in Chaos Magic may be unique to Chaos Magic. Essentially the idea is that for a magical result to work there needs to be a combination of will, belief and an absent/single minded state of mind – this mental state is labelled ‘gnosis’.
LOA, fuelled with continual thought, establishes a clear intent for the will – the fact of the continual thought establishes faith. But where is the gnosis?
Of course I’ve my conclusion, I’m writing the post. Not that I can take credit for it, Chaos magic theory precedes me and is developed to a point it may be hopeless to introduce anything new. Commonly gnosis is associated with sexual orgasm or intense meditative focus. Less commonly however, it’s realized that gnosis marbels everyday consciousness – any moment of absentmindedness being magically charged.
So there you go, the gnosis of LOA exists in absentmindedness wherein the thought has already become routine.
FYI: Business types should be alert, your business logo, a visual abstraction of yourbusinesses mission statement – is powerful sigil magic, charged whenever glanced upon by the public in a state of absentmindedness. The power of advertising from a magical perspective.

Colors are public domain, you like the green use it. I’m fond of the green myself, for me it’s my ‘octarine’: color of magic.

Marketing, magic and the geometric power of logos and words (i.e. slogans) have more in common than what most people even want to know.
I wish you luck on your re-working of The Science of Getting Rich, it sounds like you have a huge vision for it.
I also agree with your comments about requiring to know how to use thought first before applying it to attraction.
