True religious belief is irrational and based on fear and ignorance - once you break free of that, there is nothing left of religion but whatever is left of its sentimental and aesthetic appeal (the components I refer to as kitsch). And this religious kitsch is by no means restricted to paganism an...

Master Baphomet, I've enjoyed reading your personal story and the defense and exploration of your kitch definition and how it relates to both art and religion,... and everything else. Your arguements ring true and are well versed, however I note, they tend to belittle the details to which many have ...

Nice videos. I found the angle you were discussing on truth quite interesting.

I'll probably look into more of them. I'm interested in the Gnostic and Zorastrian connection.

Whatza IAO?

I can say that you are your own greatest teacher and at the same time your own greatest obstacle. You are thoroughly into self analysing... which tells me you are on the right path to what you seek... speeding up the process, attaining wisdom, ridding of 'sin. You seem to be going the right direction.

I meant being 100% certain of anything is a trap for yourself, not others. And I don't think anything I wrote spoke of right or wrong in bettering oneself. I was only trying to broaden the definition of magick outside of ritual so that one can see there is opportunity to make change (magick) in the ...

I'm looking more for general effects... such as the vices and virtues of each quarter... energetically speaking, of course.

What I was looking for we're answers along the following lines:- The ability to raise and direct magickal energies. The ability to place magickal suggestions into the depths of the mind such that these things are brought about. The confidence to perform any ritual knowing that it will bring the des...

There is magick also in the mundane

unless it is the mundane one is trying to escape

it is hard to appreciate ones cage

I believe in spiritual evolution thru multiple lives. I think the ego and intelligence are dropped in each life but wisdom is collected by the soul. I don't think we can look at someone else and concider them mistaken. We all have different experiences, which sets different values. And it isn't in e...

The core tenet of Gnostic Luciferianism/Satanism is that everything was originally united in a chaotic all, without form or substance, but then it was forced t o manifest through a mistaken act of creation that caused the material universe to be created and spirit to become trapped in matter. This ...

Knowledge is Power

is a well known, widely believed true, statment.

To add...

Occult Knowledge is Supernatural Power

... well, ya, duh.

... or multiple opaque light sources

Silence because... once people know, it is no longer magic but science.

I always assumed self hypnosis was just trance with lyrics

No,... but once with a chicken.

You know the difference between kinky and perverted?

Kinky you use a feather...

Perverted you use the whole chicken!

[yay]

Well Met

Alright in that case I will look for a rebellion/disobedience spell instructions. What category is it under since it seems to empower and creates free thinking? I had it mixed up with chaos. Why don't yo focus on the 'free-thinking' aspect. Thinking out of the box. Waking people up out of the rut. ...

Everything? Far too vague. I can't understand it. Thank you for your replies though. Then what you want to know is about 'Occult Power'. If you don't see there is magic in everything, then you must want to know about the hidden, imaginative, shadowy... occult power. Much of what was once considered...

It is the ability to change.

So I agree with Ram. It happens at every level.

I think Chaos is the stage after the amputation of the material universe, and also what existed before its emergence. Chaos isn't exactly an essence, but a stage of existence in which cognition does not exist. It's hard saying what is before or after. I think its just as easy to label that ' the no...

Ah, but what if chaos is part of the order? [wink]



~:Shin:~

I can agree with that.

What makes you think you know what is best for yourself, one person, or a whole society? If you didn't like school and you thought the teachers were mean for assigning too much homework would you fix it by setting the school on fire? I actually used this example as a metaphor, school as life, a pla...

I don't beleive in chaos as a force, only as a concept. I think there is order to everything and choas is a label used for that which is not understood. Outside of the universal definition, I think chaos just means confusion or misunderstanding... which often leads to fear. And, of course, for some ...
