Within the field of connatural magick, exteriorization refers to a technique whereby one engages directly with the physical sensation of desire (wanting) and synchronizes it with mental imagery in an attempt to psychically influence the unfolding of future events. It is an organic way of enchanting reality that may be performed at a moment’s notice or, alternatively, dramatized to accommodate a more ritualistic operation. The technique is as follows:
First, internally or verbally state what you want to occur in the present or past tense as if it had already occurred. Next, focus exclusively on the sensation of that desire as it is felt in your body (chest, abdomen, etc.). Once your focus on this feeling is firm, push the desire out of yourself and imagine it coalescing into an amorphous mass and then into a sphere suspended directly in front of you. Continue this process of expulsion until you feel that you are completely released of the desire, then imagine the sphere suddenly growing heavier and falling straight through the floor into the unknown. Avoid dwelling on the desired outcome by simply assuming the sentiment of wish-fulfillment.
Innumerable variations on this procedure can be explored, many of which may prove equally or more effective depending on the disposition of the practitioner. This technique follows the contemporary thesis of magick according to which the object of a desire will preternaturally manifest if it is repressed through symbolic abstraction and seeded in the subconscious. Within the same continuum, the technique may also be likened to the partial creation of a thoughtform, imbued with the requisite amount of psychic and emotional force to materialize the intended event. However it is performed or explained, exteriorization is one of the many techniques that exploit the relation between tactile sense perception, imaginal thought, and nonlocal influence.
