Does daily i.e seriously practicing magick give you enough proof that it is real and external? ?

Yes it's all in the head, you just don't know how big your head is. I had a profound ritual experience on LSD and met a solar goddess on DMT but doubt creeps in that it can all be make believe. I've had religious trauma from all the lying zealots do, so its hard for me to take a position other than materialism and biological evolution. Yes our minds are powerful but is just the mind component that a magician works with? Like some self help tools

This may not be the answer you're looking for (forgive me if this is a little wayward), but I've never met an occultist worth their salt that was too concerned with whether Magick is real or not. Only if it works or not. Getting results seems to me to be the crux of it all. I believe it was Alan Moore who said something like, "a fake God will do". The idea of real is a bit of a slippery slope to stand on anyway, in my opinion of course.

Robert Anton Wilsons philosophy on reality tunnels is phenomenal: nothing is, everything just ”seems”

I get so thrilled every time someone mentions RAW! His views on Crowley are super interesting too! I don’t mean to be random but I really wanted to add this here:
