Advanced Practicum
Why Reality Mapping

The next big step we will take into Advanced practices for Yona Circle is one where we feel it necessary to state that just as “no two Paths are the same”, NO TWO REALITIES ARE THE SAME.

Read that again.

Every metaphysical book you read, every class you attend, no matter if it is magickal or mundane, will be different. Each interpretation of the world around us is unique. Furthermore, no two people will teach the same. That is not to say they cannot teach the same things, they most certainly can, but HOW they teach will vary by nuances amongst all who teach the subject. There are simply techniques that are better Experienced PERSONALLY in your practice rather than being told how one’s magickal Experience is “supposed to be”.

ENERGETIC DIFFERENCES
That brings us to ‘reality maps’. As stated by many other great teachers of Craft, NOTHING IS CONCRETE, not even reality. It “seems” so, you can utilize your five senses to import the data of the energy around you. But, each of us receives that data differently. Add a ‘dis-ability’ to that and it changes it again. Every nuance, of every person, changes how they perceive their reality. Then we add the perception of auric fields — that too is different between practitioners as ‘Focus’ or what it means to Be Focused is different in each of those perceptions. Lost yet?

AURIC FIELDS
What is an auric field? Our auric field, or aura, is an energetic extension of ourselves. In essence, it is an energetic field that surrounds our body consisting of several layers; these subtle energy bodies connect each into our physical body via energy centers/points/chakras. In Traditional Zhong Guo Medicine the aura is referred to as the Wei Chi Field for example.

Different efforts have been placed into practice for each Practitioner as each determines their need versus effort. This is despite having been offered Lessons throughout Three Circles Medicine & Magick™ covering techniques to strengthen this focus, along with how to build Protection. Have you taken advantage of that Time? Didn;t you wonder what it was all for?

Now you know. All things are connected.

Hopefully having had a year or more of practices with the techniques of strength building and Protection that were given, or you may have already known, it is time to move forward with Knowledge. It is of note, if you have not continued your energetic practices to this point with regularity, it is not uncommon to find yourself unsuccessful in these next Lessons. If this ends up being the case for you, PRACTICE. Go back and reread and utilize the Exercises I and II that were given. (Remember the ‘house of cards’?)

For the adept and practiced, some begin to see, or have been seeing, energetic detail in the world around them. They feel it in everything from Self to produce at the farmer’s market. Everything simply vibrates “differently”. This is while many others do not sense this energetic “vibration”. Correspondences are different for each Practitioner in this arena as well because different tools vibrate in varying ways for each Practitioner that walks on —and Works on —Energy in their Path. We all have a basic ‘blue print’ to practice magicks, but NOTHING is the same for everyone. One Practitioner may understand the meaning “red is war” while another understands it as “red is love” and yet even another understands “red is death”. No one can judge that Experience. We would be well advised to hold space for the perception of others and NOT project our personal perception onto them as we walk our individual Journeys.

There is no “wrong” way to view things. Yes, a difficult concept to grasp, but a truth.

MAKING REALITY MAPS
Making a ‘reality map’ helps us learn what energies are attached to what parts of our world, for each of us individually. We each already have a “feeling” about where we live. Some of us can “just tell” when someone has been there. We smell something “different”, that animal side of Matter kicks in and vibrates our Spirit. There are other ways too. Each one of us has a personal cue already attached to our realities. Our Self. Our room. Our dwelling. Our transportation. Our family. Our friends. We each have our won perspective of those things immediate to us, or it is advised to have. If you do not have a perspective on each of those items, make a list of them in your journal. Describe some key feelings or sites that come to mind when you speak each to your Self. Take note, as this is mapping your reality.


OTHERS MAPS
Taking on someone else’s ‘reality’ can destabilize your reality.
READ. THAT. AGAIN.
Consensually take on another’s point of view only if needed to complete a task, not because ‘misery loves company’. A reality map varies from individual to individual Experience for many reasons similar to this one. Another example often given of accepting another’s reality over yours is in a situation of crisis. Be it witnessing an abusive relationship as a child, accepting the pain of one parent as your reality versus the hatred of another, is an example. Other examples are in times of war, listening to a commanding officer to keep you focused ON THE TASK AT HAND. The latter is an example of taking on another’s reality as yours to complete a task. While there are many examples of crisis moments throughout lives, you know which ones count for you. Keeping up with your Shadow Work can also help you in seeing what part is your to own, or that you can be accountable for, and those instances you simply CAN NOT.


As Practitioners, we must learn to map our magicks from out of our reality, to the Divine through Universal Energy, back into our reality as a ‘result’ or an ‘answer’, depending on our magick. Sit with this. If you have not mapped your reality, you will be asked to soon.

Contemplations 103
Personal Reality

We have discussed “energetic practices” since day one. There have been Lessons on everything from Attunement of Higher Self to Psychic Altars. There have even been Lessons on increasing focus by creating a “house of cards”. Take a moment and pontificate upon the questions below.

Thinks About It
Do you have, or did you have, a Book of Shadows? Have you mapped your reality? Magick? Do you find things that result differently for you versus when the same magick is utilized for or by another Practitioner? Are you finding Correspondences that call to you differently than when we first began, or do they call to another Practitioner of the same magick Path or Practice? How are you mapping your reality, your personal practices, thus far?
