Is there a way to do magick in meditation without spoken affirmations?

[CFTraveler]

Yes. Ritual work doesn't always involve spoken affirmations, although most styles do. Like making sigils. You don't say them, you make them and then ignore them.

[Antares]

I've read that visualisation and "unfolding" (not: forcing) your emotions toward your desire / goal is more powerful than any words. I think it is correct, according to my understanding on how magic(k) works. In short, it is not about the mental / verbal part (typically related to the left part of brain), but to the creative / imaginative part (typically applying to the astral level). This is what magic(k) is about. Which doesn't imply that you cannot use affirmations, which also have an effect.

All the fierce love and yielding virtue will create a Thing!

Yes.

Love is the law, love under will

Love is qualified as an attribute of that force, power or influence

The purpose of the heart is to know yourself to be yourself

I.e. your true inner self is related to the heart center. The primary quality and asset of the heart center is love. Your soul communicates through your feelings, particularly the heart chakra, but if you cannot reach it (temporarily or at all), it would need to use your emotions which is an indirect way.

Your true self is the primary source of power for yourself. Discovering your true inner self is the key to any magic, both literal and metaphorical.

Yep, magical heart work is emotional release and delivery.
True self is in the third eye, right where "I" can be thrown a stone unto.
Any sacred or special understandings of others, cocreate(d) in the sacral.

I do surmise that 46&2 from MerKaBa literature is this foundation.

[olyris]

The odd chakras are great for uniqueness, just as the even ones are for sameness. The magic of uniqueness involves the employment of ego. Once your magic is 46&2, there might be nothing left to do except conquer.

Interesting is the symbolism behind the ancients' mathematics, about odd and even numbers, regardless how and whether they are applied (like in this case, to chakras), indeed.

Even = harmonizing, sometimes (overly) defensive. Basically, yin, just like Chinese people said.
Odd = expanding, sometimes (overly) offensive. Basically, yang, just like Chinese people said.

Knowing this is fundamental to true magic (no words required).

True offense - art.
True defense - compassion.
Pure magic - understanding understood.

I think there is one thing more to say, allegorically:

life - magic = boredom. alrighty then!
boredom + magic = life? hmm.
