Converting would only help myself, not everyone else. In that case I would have to oppose him. But the End now would contradict the Torah anyway. It can´t happen until many thousands of years without making a lie of the word of Yahveh. There is plenty of time. Anyway, he is very violent, I need anot...

I don´t worry about myself, I can be holy and be saved according to any religion. I could even live according to the Jewish rules. But what about the others? Therefore I have to stop the whole thing. But of course, maybe I can´t. I don´t think that one species can reincarnate in another, I think tha...

Hi, I´ve been reading on Judaism, but when I learned about the coming of the Messiah I thought that it is really bad: most people would die and the rest would be judged, and the people that would die I think would not even exist anymore. Some things make me think that Yahveh actually exists, but the...

Why do the Jewish and Hermetic Trees of Life have different paths?

I read somewhere that it existed before creation and it wanted to destroy everything that existed. This means that it wants to destroy you too. It doesn´t seem like a good idea to invoke it.

If something appears uninvited, what do you do without using a banishing ritual?

Does OP mean Occultforum Post?

Because practicing magick you can attract any random spirit. Or it could be also explained as a psychological thing and archetypes being activated in your subconscious, depending on your theory of magick. I thought that you knew that if you have practiced magick or read Crowley or Carroll.

Maybe before visualizing you need to relax and clear your mind. In Raja yoga (Hindu meditation) there are 8 steps: yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana and samadhi. Yama and niyama are rules and habits for the yogui, and the other steps are the steps of meditation. Asana is th...

When Liber MMM says that "Every attempt by the eye to distort the object (...) must be resisted." does it include changes in the illumination of the object, contrast and intensity of color? In Liber MMM in every exercise you have to control your mind, although it is easy not to notice or t...

What does OP mean? I have seen it in several posts. When I was studying Liber Al by my cell phone, a customer saw the text and his reaction was like "O shit, I want to get out of here". Then I realized the importance of keeping silence. If you show yourself no matter who you are some peopl...

Thank you for the quote, I would like to buy books but I don´t have the money, maybe Chaos magic will help, but first I´ll have to succeed at the magical trances, metamorphosis and learning a banishing ritual. Well, at least I have some books on these subjects.

I think I was confusing RHP vs. LHP with White vs. Black magic. The first distinction is about the ego, and the other about virtue, morality and ethics. The LHP and the RHP seem very similar except for the ego. Both to attain union with your God/Goddess or to become God you have to make your persona...

Can you mix the paths or do you have to choose?

Hi, I was thinking, Chaos magick seems to focus in darkness, iin Peter Carroll´s books there is much antinomianism. However, that´s not necessary to controlling the mind, exploring paradigms or controlling the subconscious. Are there Chaos groups or individuals who aren´t dark? Also, the dicotomy be...

Hi, In yoga there is a practice called trataka that consists on staring at an object without blinking. This is the same as the object concentration in Liber MMM. Yoguis say that it develops concentration. Do you think it does? If so, it would have a value in itself and it would also help with the ot...

This is a Little offtopic, but I was thinking about the Merkabah mysticism and the Tree of Life, they seem like two different systems, in one there are seven heavens and seven halls to pass trhough, and in the other ten sephirot. However, both systems may fit if the sides of the Tree of Life are ign...

This article answers your third question. It says that creative visualization actually follows the same rules that chaos magick. It´s in Spanish, let me know if you need me to translate it into English, if so I´ll send you a private message (I guess I can´t post a translation in the forum because I´...

I´m confused, Ramscha. Do you mean that before that time Jews didn´t believe in the Tzimtzum? (Tzim tzum means "contraction". At the beginning, God occupied everything and manking was only one person and was united to God. Then mankind wanted to be independent, and God contracted making a ...

The Tree of Life is a part of both the Hermetic Qabalah and the Jewish Kabbalah (the paths in the Tree differ in both traditions, but they share the sephirot), and the Jewish Kabbalah is Jewish misticism, and Judaism is the root of Christianism. To understand Christianism or the Old Testament the Ka...

Maybe it could be understood as the Kabbalistic Tree of Life being a map of God´s qualities, as well as the human soul and the astral body of people.

Maybe you should first read both the link in last post and this link http://hermetic.com/parsons/the-book-of-babalon.html and decide if you would cross the Abyss/do the black pilgrimage. It seems like a hard journey.

I haven´t tried it because I don´t have the knowledge, but maybe you could use Parson´s method (see http://hermetic.com/parsons/the-book-of-babalon.html ). First he uses Enochian magic until Babalon appeared, and later she tells him how to invoke her. Maybe doing the same will get the same results? ...

Another thing, do I need to do an initiation or self-initiation for Chaos Magic? And do I need to join a group or can I learn everything on my own?
