Christina, trained in Reiki and other systems, asks:
When I tested your first sigil [in 2012], the response was clear to me, at least the first time. After that, not so much. And this time, I missed the mark. Why could that be?
There are several possibilities.
I want to back up and say: When a scientist says, “There are several possibilities,” he’s really saying, “I don’t know, but here’s where I’d start looking.” And that’s what I’m saying: I don’t know why it didn’t work. (If I did, I probably would have fixed it.) But let’s talk about the moving parts, what might have gone wrong, and how you can start exploring this with me.
First, the moving parts:
- A sigil, with ethereal software bound to it.
- These forces need to notice when you look at the sigil.
- They need to pick up your request and create the obvious connection.
- You need to notice the connection.
What might go wrong?
If I didn’t bind the ethereal software to the sigil correctly, none of this will work. That’s certainly possible. But I tested it on myself and it seemed to work for me. Also, this isn’t something you can test with me. So let’s assume the ethereal software is bound correctly.
What about the forces noticing your gaze? Try this: You know how to connect to someone by looking at their picture, right? The sigil uses some of the same forces. So practice connecting to a person based on their picture a few times, then do the same thing when you look at the sigil.
What about picking up your request and creating the obvious connection? This requires a bit of background. People often use multiple pieces of ethereal software. As a Reiki practitioner, you already have the Reiki software (typically called “The Universe.”) If you practice other systems, you might have other software. (You might also have ethereal software not associated with a formal system, such as for natural psychic intuitions some people have.) So, multiple pieces of ethereal software.
Usually, that’s fine. Occasionally, the ethereal software conflicts with each other. I’ve seen software that wants to be the only one working with a person. I’ve seen software that interpreted the “obvious connection” as an attack, and protected the person. Sometimes, different ethereal softwares don’t get along.
Try this: Engage your normal ethereal software. Just think about doing your normal practice, building Reiki energy or asking for psychic intuitions or whatever else you do. Then send the message (the same way you’d send a request for information, energy, or anything else): “I’m about to connect to another force, I want you to allow it to connect and trust it.” Keep thinking that while you focus on the sigil.
Before asking for the obvious connection, tell your other forces, “I’m about to have the new ethereal software make some obvious connections. Allow them, even if it seems like an attack.” Then try the obvious connection.
Also, if you shield yourself against energy or connections, try opening your shielding before doing all this.
Will this work? I don’t know. We’re debugging this technique together, thinking about what might have gone wrong, testing it out, seeing what matters and what doesn’t. I’m excited to get your results, because this is how we all learn about ethereal software and sigils and the mechanisms behind our practice.
Thanks for exploring with me.

It maybe of no relevance but this made me think of something I read about remote viewing.
Apparently, one of the trends the RV researchers at SRI noticed is that beginners often have good results at first, which then tail off. The beginner may then continue for some time with poor results, but eventually they will have a burst of good results which again tail off, but which leaves them at a better average level than before. This is repeated as one continues, resulting in a stepped progression of RV ability improvement.
I was just wondering if there might be a similar trend with practicing this kind of magick – i.e. good initial results like Christina had, but then a period of perserverance before ‘levelling up’? Maybe something to do with strengthening the Ethereal Muscles?
Just my two cents. Thank you very much for sharing your system Mike – looking forward to reading all your future work. At last, magic without the bs!! :)
That’s interesting. I’ll keep it in mind if I see similar patterns. Thanks! And I’m really pleased that my system is working for you.
