I cringed a little. Everything past exercise 3 needs a lot of corrections, addendums, and explanations, but I'm not gonna bother writing corrections that will themselves need corrections soon enough. I will however point and laugh at past me for being a pompous wordcel.

Anon failed you, anon.
Magic has 2 rules: it's all in your head, and you make the rules.
Reality is subjective, and you are the subject, what you perceive is real. When it comes to interracting with abstract ideas (ghosts, entities, etc.), intent and focus will be enough. Your thoughts are already 'astral,' and bringing noetic things into that level of reality is as easy as thinking about them. Reach out with intent, and while the perception will be vague, undefined, and uncertain at first, you will quickly get to a point where you can do practical channeling.
For anything more material, you're confronted with the density of our '3D' reality. The material world is essentially just an incredibly complex entanglement of ideas, notions, and subconscious agreements, which your consciousness has to overpower. If you only want to handle energies, though, those are already part of the complex mess that is the material world. Exercise 1-3 of that thread will do you good. That's basically it.
