By the aetheric model, casting your sigel is injecting your will into the larger chaotic energy system of reality, so that it might act independently to cause events or occur so as to fulfill its design. That's the chaos of chaos magick, that you insert an influence into a chaotic system in order to nudge it into acting in a way you desire.
When you think about a sigel, you are putting energy into it. As long as you are thinking about it, you have not released that energy into the Aether yet. It is still tied to you, through your connection to it. When you forget it, you cut the cord, effectively, setting it free to do its work independently of you. Otherwise, you are trying to do a different sort of sorcery, where your direct will causes change by your own power. Chaos sigel casting doesn't run on your power, its just launched on it. The sigel will find the path of least resistance to the goal, which is why the manner in which results manifest can very wildly from what you had expected initially.
The real point of it is, don't dwell on it. Crowley goes on about "lust for results". Its along those lines. I theorize it like this: when you dwell and fantasize about results, you eliminate that possible reality from manifesting, as it has already manifested within your own internal reality. So, let it go, and you'll offer less resistance for the effect to happen. Reality doesn't like to admidt that magick works. You have to pretend that you didn't mean for it to happen for it to work, sometimes. |
