It's more likely that you really don't want to quit - not all the way deep down - and your dreams are showing you your internal conflict. Or I could be totally offbase. As I mentioned, one of the primary characteristics of this phenomenon is the suddenness with which the desire dissipates upon waki...

Rin: Thanks, that helps to put things in perspective. I guess I should probably just be patient.

Ušušur: Thanks for the suggestion. If it ever gets to a point that I'm actively bothered by it, I may try that out (after consulting a witch).

Hi, I had a question about clearing the dream-space of unwanted content. Here's my situation. I used to consume a lot of cannabis, but at a certain point in my life, I decided that it was having a negative effect on me, so I gave it up. In the beginning, it was hard not to want to smoke cannabis, es...

Any ideas as to what this is?

In the sources I have, the Rose Cross Ritual makes references to the southeast, southwest, northwest, and northeast corners of the room. This might sound silly, but the room I'm currently doing most of my workings in has its corners in the east, south, west, and north. Would it be more important to ...

So I pulled out that book and looked at the mandalas and none of them seemed overwhelmingly to have been drawn my Crowley. I don't know why I remembered it that way. Pay no attention to me. [tongue]

This is a little off-topic, but I have this book somewhere - I haven't opened it in years, but I'll try and find it - but it's Jung's writings on mandalas. In the book, there are numerous color prints of mandalas drawn by his patients, and I remember looking at a few of them and thinking that there ...

Make your own lsd!. Cooking LSD is not something I would ever recommend to anyone. The process is complicated and requires a good knowledge of organic chemistry, a professional-grade lab is required, and the precursors needed to make the chemical are expensive, hard to obtain, and closely watched b...

Thanks, all. I'll do the mind, soul, and body exercises simultaneously. As for reading the whole book ahead of time, I think I will continue taking it one step at a time, as I think that will be more effective for me, personally. I read the theory section, and it all seems on the up and up, so I don...

Hey all, I've picked up a copy of Bardon's Initiation Into Hermetics, since so many people on this board seem to rave about it. I've started the first mental exercise. I'm a little unclear though - am I supposed to be doing the "soul" and "physical" first exercises simultaneously...

I just posted this picture in a thread of its own, but I thought I'd post it here, too. This is some pink stilbite that I've had for a long time (it appears pinker in person than it does in the picture). I find it has a very calming energy to it, and works well in assisting the opening of the heart ...

I've had this pink stilbite for ages. (I've included a picture for reference, but in real life it looks more pinkish than the picture shows). Over the years, I've done research here and there as to its magickal properties, and have incorporated it into sporadic ritual use, mostly working with the up...

Here is a pretty good argument that the "LAM" portrait has actually more to do with the Tao Te Ching.

I've been listening to the Incredible String Band a lot lately. They're a psychedelic folk group from the 60s and 70s and their lyrics are rife with references to magick and mysticism. I also am a big fan of the Grateful Dead, and a lot of their lyrics deal with this area as well. GvvblmN1hEw ugRct9...

The trip reports you give sound, frankly, like instances of drug-induced psychosis. I've had psychotic episodes in the past, drug induced and otherwise, where people I loved seemed sinister, embodiments of evil, like there was some darker meaning behind their words and actions, et cetera, et cetera....

Magari, aside from anything else that's being said (which I can't really comment on, as I don't post much here), I'd like to bring up the point that the thing your arguing - that DMT is a worthless entheogen - seems a little questionable to me. DMT of course has been used as an admixture is ayahuasc...

It's been a good while since I've smoked DMT. When I had a source and was smoking it a fair amount, I did practice some meditation (and magick) on it, but at the time I was smoking it in a very ineffective method, and thus consuming only very small doses, so I really don't know if what you ask would...

Very nice post Yex, I enjoyed reading it

Why, thank you. I enjoyed writing it.

I already told you, you don't see Gods on LSD. In fact, the *only* drug you will see entities on that you didn't personally evoke, are when on DMT. You would need to increase your abilities to see entities in general, to see them while on drugs. Well, one might drop acid and "see God" in ...
