Internal Reality encompasses the subjective experience and identity that can be consciously engaged and transformed through internal work. Understanding and manipulating this inner field is fundamental to advanced magical practice, in my 'Magical Identity.'
What is Internal Reality?
Internal Reality refers to the inner subjective experience and sense of self that resides within an individual. It is the mental and emotional field where perceptions, beliefs, and identities are formed and can be actively engaged for transformation. This underscores the idea that our internal world shapes our external experiences, making it a vital focus for anyone looking for deeper self-awareness and mastery.
How Internal Reality Works in Practice
Engaging with Internal Reality involves internal work techniques that bring subconscious patterns to conscious awareness. I emphasize that through focused internal exercises, practitioners can modify their perceptions, release emotional blockages, and reconfigure their sense of identity. For example, working directly with the body to free emotional and physical blockages can shift internal patterns, In 'Magical Identity.' Techniques such as visualization, affirmations, and energetic anchoring help to reprogram internal perceptions.
The Role of Internal Reality in my Framework
Within my paradigm, Internal Reality is a foundation for manifesting change. By altering internal perceptions and emotional states, practitioners influence external outcomes. Techniques like creating internal avatars or working with the anima facilitate internal shifts that ripple outward, aligning with the principle that internal change precedes external manifestation.
Cross-Tradition Context
Other traditions describe the internal field is recognized as a crucial arena for transformation. In shamanic practices, it resembles journeying into inner worlds; in Hermetic traditions, it aligns with working on the astral or subtle bodies. The concept also connects to modern energetic practices, where the focus on internal work aligns with the idea that mastery over internal states yields external power.
Practical Notes for Practitioners
To work with Internal Reality, start by establishing a regular meditation or visualization practice. Use internal dialogues or create internal avatars to explore different facets of the self. Engage with techniques from 'Magical Identity' to free emotional blockages by working directly with the body and subconscious mind. Remember that consistency and intention are key. As you deepen your internal work, your perception of reality shifts, creating new possibilities for manifestation. By understanding and transforming your internal field, you match the core principles of practical magic outlined by Taylor Ellwood, enhancing your ability to manifest desired outcomes efficiently.
It was through these techniques that I first started to work directly with my body, to free it of emotional and physical blockages.

Internal Reality connects seamlessly with other core concepts like Anchoring, Altered Perception of Space and Time, and Avatars of the Self. These interconnected ideas form a comprehensive framework for internal work, allowing practitioners to craft powerful internal states that influence external manifesting power and self-awareness. Understanding how these concepts interrelate enhances the depth and effectiveness of magical practice within my system.
