From these, specific rituals can be derived. Chaos magic also is often (but not always) concerned with the "meta" level of magick. I think there are several common roots to both systems (or non-systems, if you will), but for the most part I think they derive from somewhat different sources. Meta-Magick evolved more from neurolinguistic modeling of magical ritual (as well as such practices as Huna, martial arts and Afro-Caribbean stuff), rather than from Spare/Carroll/Hine. Meta-Magick can be applied to any path, including chaos magic. Anyway... shorter answer - there are certainly commonalities in that both (often) seek to understand the roots of magick, but the practices take a different approach.

I'm not quite sure what the difference between Chaos Magick and Meta-Magick is, though. Would you mind explaining it to me please?

Farber http://www.chrismorris.com/events/meta-magick.html Did you know that your life is filled with magick - in ways you might not even be aware of? Meta-Magick starts where traditional magick once began – in the day to day activities and thoughts of the human mind. Using tools of hypnotherapy, neurolinguistics, meditation, martial arts, and much more, author Philip H. Farber has devised a system of practice that makes magical experience – and results – available to just about everyone. • Communicate with gods, goddesses, demons, angels, spirits and other aspects of the unconscious realm. • Experience the processes by which your brain achieves new learning and insight. • Learn to transform and re-align parts of your own consciousness. • Apply magical processes to create unique works of art. • Find practical application for own inner experiences, metaphors, and behavioral tendencies. • Create balance in your work and art. The roots of Meta-Magick are diverse. It has been influenced by by Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), martial arts, applied kinesiology, hypnosis, Afro-Caribbean spirituality, yoga,Taoism, neuro-scientific discoveries, and much more, in addition to Western esoteric traditions. These tools and systems are applied to observing and replicating magical phenomena in ways that can be calibrated and tested. This results in a collection of diverse behaviors, techniques, and patterns that can be combined in creative ways, resulting in new rituals, works of art, entities, schools of thought, new paradigms and so on. "Meta" means "above" or "beyond," and "Meta-Magick" is magick that enables us to think about magick and produce magick. It is magick about magick. This is a great opportunity for NLP practitioners (or anyone else) to learn about magick – and a fantastic chance for magicians (or anyone else) to integrate some NLP concepts. Phil will be presenting mind-altering material from his book Meta-Magick: The Book of Atem. This exciting system dovetails nicely with most existing forms of magick – Chaos Magick, Thelema, Golden Dawn magick, Wicca, Shamanic systems, and many more. If you are an experienced practitioner or a complete beginner, you will learn techniques to further develop your art and change your life. Meta-Magick includes a body of about 100 exercises that re-align the mind in ways that make the basic tools of magick – invocation, evocation, altered states, and energy work – easily accessible and useful. Philip H. Farber is the author of Meta-Magick: The Book of Atem (Weiser Books 2008) and FUTURERITUAL: Magick for the 21st Century (Eschaton Productions, 1995), a manual of neurological exploration. His articles on magick and popular culture have appeared in The Journal of Hypnotism, Hypnosis Today, Mondo 2000, High Times, Paradigm Shift, Reality Sandwich, Disinformation and other unique publications and web sites. Phil is an instructor for Maybe Logic Academy (www.maybelogic.org), a Certified Hypnotist and a Licensed Trainer of Neuro-linguistic Programming, with a private practice in New York's Mid-Hudson Valley.

Farber in his new book has once again shown where Magick meets the brain." - Richard Bandler, co-founder of NLP "The intent of Farber's ongoing literary sigil is to move his readers beyond the practice of individual magicks into the shared space of collective, consensual hallucination.... Farber quickly branches out in new directions - casting a visionary world picture as if it were a guide book, a description and instruction manual to a realm that is quite literally created in the process of its depiction and subsequent imagination." - Douglas Rushkoff, author of Coercion and Media Virus "Years ago, Aleister Crowley published books he considered to be talismans. In Meta-Magick: The Book of Atem, Philip H. Farber has produced a book that each reader turns into an evoked entity. It is a unique linking of ancient techniques of magick combined with modern science and advanced Neuro-Linguistic Programming and even includes concepts that would be at home in Gibson's Neuromancer. Atem uses the ancient concept of evocation while eschewing needless excesses that have evolved around the techniques over centuries. Instead of relying on objectively questionable external entities, the book reveals how to bring forth and direct specific inner qualities. The result combines personal power with practical simplicity in the first book on the subject that moves evocation into the 21st century." - Donald Michael Kraig, author of Modern Magick "Phil Farber has a genius for transformative edu-tainment. His writing captures the warmth and liveliness of his workshops because multisensory experiential processes are part of every page. In decades of magickal experimentation and hypnotherapy practice I have never seen such a concise digest of contemporary techniques for invoking desirable qualities and banishing negative ones from the attentional field. It is arguably the ONLY Magick or NLP book you will ever need... Whether you are healing, exploring or aspiring this is a journey to the frontiers of consciousness, the cutting edge of human potential.
