  I&apos;m still looking for the buried treasure. &nbsp;The only treasure I&apos;ve found, &nbsp;so far, is this channel.

  This is self hypnosis on a grand scale.

  He’s not wrong about Crowley. Everyone, eventually, out grows Crowley.

  Every time I&apos;m going to play one of your videos, they look too long on paper, but then when they are coming to an end, they seem too short. Truly magical.

  I recently used a technique inspired by Spare&apos;s methods to create a musical chord sequence generator app which transforms a string of words (an intention to be sigilized) into a set of four chords which can then be used as an object of meditation or &quot;activation&quot; by other means... My method for activating such sigils is usually to sit at a piano, toodle around on the chosen four chords until I settle on a pleasant riff, and then repeat that riff mindlessly for an hour or so, zoning out on it as hard as possible to the point that I&apos;m barely awake at the piano. When I reach a point of exhaustion, I go rest and try to forget about the whole affair as much as possible. This act of introducing the data repeatedly at a point of exhaustion is one of the ways you can create and take advantage of that &quot;stack overflow&quot; you mentioned. Forgetting about it keeps your brain from retroactively &quot;correcting&quot; the changes you made on a subconscious level to conform with your previous patterns and protocols which the magick aimed to alter. You&apos;re kind of exploiting back doors in your own psychological immune system. Pretty dangerous stuff in the wrong hands.

  This idea of encoding (or &quot;discovering&quot;) powerful sigils and then tapping into their potency by storing them deep within the mind reminds me a lot of the Caryll Runes found in Bloodborne, a game heavily steeped in Gothic and Lovecraftian occultism. The idea of &quot;vacuity&quot; of mind being a purer form of consciousness which leaves one more open to communion with greater cosmic powers is also <i>explicitly</i> present in the game. Very interesting―I knew little about Spare, so this was quite enlightening. Thank you, as always!

  That was the best “buried treasure” yet. Holy moly.

  As someone who has attempted to go very deeply into Spare&apos;s philosophy myself, I must say this presentation represents a very brave and impressive attempt at understanding and summarising it: bravo, Dr. Sledge!
