Re: As above so below...
I just say I'm not a kabbalist because I haven't studied kaballah in any real depth :P The real/unreal thing is tricky to get your mind around. Try not to stress over it, the understanding develops with time. The bot analogy isn't too far off; we all have this programming that's gotten into us, it ...

Re: As above so below...
I would say yes, in a sense I am you too, I'm not so much a kabbalist, more a tantrika, my belief is that we're all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively through the collected perspectives of its component parts, so, to me, the idea of it all being a dream stands to reason - I tend to ...

Re: New in ?occultism? need guidance.
Honestly your story is "in my -egoistic- opinion" crazy. The kind where I'll be at first interested to know what you do, then get to know you then I'll start walking away slowly. Then I'll start convincing myself that perhaps it's me who is naive and been conditioned to that I'm not open t...

Re: As above so below...
Patience, discipline ;) Getting connected with your higher self, the great work as some may call it, is exactly that; a great work, encompassing all aspects of your life. It can't really be told directly because we are all different, my understanding and your understanding and everyone else's under...

Re: As above so below...
One has accepted being a beginner. One has begun work. One reads and one doesn't understand. One searches and asks, one still doesn't know. To know is first to understand. How does one understand when one doesn't understand? One has to rise to the level to understand. How does one rise to such level?

Re: New in ?occultism? need guidance.
Great answers... thanks I'm still totally green in this. I'm currently studying the Kabbalah and have just read the Emerald Tablet of HT.. and am still so clueless. So right, I get the picture by intelligence that this world is an illusion. So it tells me to shut down my senses and thoughts for the...

Re: New in ?occultism? need guidance.
are you suggesting that, thoughts manifest in this world is the basis of all occult? The idea is more like all things in the world are manifest as an idea that takes form, or natural law that appears to be law only because it has inertia from repetition. By some mechanism your directed, empowered t...

Re: New in ?occultism? need guidance.
1. Why can't the ultimate Truth be told in words? 2. Why must it be kept a secret? To even call it the 'great secret' 'secrets of secrets'... and yet exist in symbolism all over the world, religious institutions and ?demonize? them even? Well, basically show itself in open and unknowing to those wh...

Re: As above so below...
ok i've read the tablet.. why can't anyone just tell us straight and direct.. why the riddles? so in order to manifest: we need to first discover ourselves, "thyself" and separate it from the "ego". so long as both are satisfied, then our wish will work out? what's this about fat...

Re: New in ?occultism? need guidance.
Thank you for your reply. Much of the imagery one sees, throughout the ages, is the product of opponents of mysticism, propaganda. Although more recent 'product' is just that, imagery designed to fit/promote/sell a product, be it an album (virtually any Black Metal, etc.), a sub-culture scene (Goth)...

Re: New in ?occultism? need guidance.
The same feeling as not wanting to go to jail... or reincarnating as an inchworm , something like that.
Of course I do understand these may be just ideas formed in my head. I do prefer if someone can tell me though.

New in ?occultism? need guidance.
Do shed some light on these please 1. What's with the ?disturbing imagery/depiction? around occultism? "Satanic" images if you will. Dark backgrounds. It's discomforting to explore it because of this yet somehow I feel that I should. 2. Why is there so much linkage to free masonry (which d...
