Neo-Tech > Self-Leaders Purpose > Processing And Magic
This begins a series of 3 related articles that I drafted around 1998 and still represents the widest possible principles that my life is directed by.
Below is part, which relates to the Deep Influence category of a Self-Leaders Credo. Part 2 is linked at the bottom of this page and concerns the 2nd category of Deep Influence; Boundless Thinking. Part 3 follows similarly.
The puzzle pieces continue to lock in place demonstrating the purity of the identifications, ever tightened, ever broadened, ever cleansed, as this thing, this matrix of power, builds.

Definitions of Magic and Processing
'Processing'? - It certainly isn't a new method of pasteurizing milk or making cheese!
A synonym of Processing can be 'Magic'.
But this isn't any irrational non-sense mysticism.
Another synonym can be 'Alchemy'.
But this isn't about 'turning lead into Gold' either!
To begin to understand Processing, first understand the definition of Magic:
"The art and science of effecting change in conformity with will." - Aleicester Crowley
Now lets just take a moment to expand on this:
'art and science'
- Art as being fluid creative explorative and abstracting.
- Science as being calculating, definite, concise, measured.
'effecting change'
- Being the cause and having an effect
- Doing stuff that changes stuff
- Effecting change in others, one's self, and one's environment
'in conformity with will'
- Your Intent
- Your way
- Your desire
- Your will
So putting it all together…
Magic is the approach of using those expanded ideas of 'art' and 'science' for the purpose of creating changes in something based on what you want.
I don't mean to make the ideas seem silly or trivial, I just want to break it down into a really simple clear base-line idea.
I want you to realize that it is not airy-fairy, irrational, or even 'spiritual', like so many websites on Magic will make it seem, but rather it is a way of representing and harnessing our development, focus, drive and creativity.
The alchemists and heretics were the scientists and individualistic self-leaders of antiquity.
So again the definition of Magic: The art and science of effecting change in conformity with will.
Processing is that same idea of Magic based on using three factors: Destruction, Deconstruction, and Transcendence.
Therefore a definition of Processing:
The art and science of effecting change in conformity with will, via destruction, deconstruction, and transcendence.
Those three factors are explained below.
Processing is the effect of changing our environment or position in life via certain skills and tools that you will easily learn that can give untold understanding and power.
So keep in mind that these 3 factors are used as tools that help us find the path to manifest our desires; effecting the change that we want in our lives. This will be detailed in the following sections.
Three Factors of Processing
- Destruction rejects the unwanted outright
- Deconstruction systematically clears the unwanted and develops the wanted
- Transcendence bypasses irrationality and struggle to leave an ‘out of their world’ Presence
Destruction – Deconstruction – Transcendence
DESTRUCTION
Destruction is about death, obliteration, disparagement, smashing, eliminating, destructive side of spontaneity, decisive certainty..
DECONSTRUCTION
Deconstruction is about investigation, analysis, argument, categorizing, consolidation, deep-thought, objectivity, reason, identifying limitations, borders and boundaries..
TRANSCENDENCE
Transcendence is about creativity, intuition, emotion, transformation, freedom, passion, peace, creative side of spontaneity, fluid contextual certainty..
The above provides an orientation to the 3 Factors of Processing. Next you will see how Processing divides into two applications for our lives.
2 Applications of Processing
Processing is valuably split into Internal Processing and Societal Processing.
Internal Processing
Here we focus directly on YOU. What do you want to do, have, and become. And what’s stopping you?!
The difference between Processing and other systems for personal growth, project management, dream manifestation, financial and relationship and health and career success etc, is that with Processing we can approach the tasks and opportunities from all sides, all angles, which unlocks the genuine creative force of both nature and our mind.
Societal Processing
This is about effecting change in your wider environment. Influencing others through business, science, art, and other value creation and value sharing.
