Re: Beginners Castaneda

Cool beans. I'm going to follow this and see where it leads, personally. I've already had freakin weird experiences in and out of dreams, so I want to see what's possible. My ambien, sleep medication, puts me in a definite trance/second attention state if I don't lay down right after I take it. That...

Re: What symbol/sigil is this?

If that's a sigil, it's an awesome one. Sigil of his animal or other spiritual guardian maybe? I can see how the letters t, s, o, d, e, i, and a few others could be morphed together for it.

Re: Beginners Castaneda

Last night I found my hands in a dream for at least the first time, if not second (memory is sketchy, like I'm always half-in/half-out of second attention). I was in a house, looking out a window with someone near me. I was angrily thinking, "Well if it's a dream then I can look at anything,&qu...

Re: Inducing Lucid Dreaming / Sleep Paralysis

No drugs is the best way to go. There are a lot of them that can get you there quicker, sometime even clean ways, but they never last without more. Sober mastery also allows for the most alternate and linked skills to be found or thought up and practiced. You go dude.

That's all very interesting, and I agree with you on the angel note, that they are safer. I think that's because they're spirits just the same, but are for whatever reason bound to help and love humans (choice, command, or whatever you can think of). Maybe they're not even spirits the same, but are ...

Non-Tarot Divination Cards

Anybody here tried divination with playing cards? It works, of course, considering it's not the cards that hold the power in the first place, and it doesn't require a specialized $40 deck. There even seems to be meanings for the four suits. Playing cards today probably originated from the same decks...

Re: Are you secretive? Why should the occult be "occult?"

Maybe it needs to be secret, but I've always believed that we should be us, not necessarily flaunting it, but if it would otherwise be a natural part of our public life, so be it. Kind of like when a dom has his girl tied up and on a leash, but goes to a restaurant, anyway.

Re: Wards

Maybe ya'll are right. Magick may not be necessary, and I would love to help her, but she doesn't want helped (which shows in her actions and decision), and there's the old saying that you shouldn't use yourself up trying to save everybody, especially those who aren't ready for it.

Anybody have any ideas on warding off females, or in particular, one female who won't leave me alone (15, doper, prostitute, want nothing to do with her)? I might pray she comes to her senses, maybe even a spell for her sake, but I'd just as soon be rid of her, sooner.

Besides that, there's a bunch of things in his books that aren't exactly widely known, aspect...

Re: Meditation

Yepyep, and cleaning your house, dishes, or body in a semi meditative state can help prepare you. It's always nice to sit down knowing it's done. I like the void style, myself, or maybe trying to wrap my mind around concepts I naturally can't understand.

Re: How did you discovered your octarine?

The universe is said to be borne of a collection of vibrations. Don Juan correlates this with his description of the luminescent strands which assemble the organic world around us. It's been proposed (and I believe it) that magick is a change of vibrations. So the vibrations that are color and sound...

Re: Balance between lucid dreaming / non lucid dreaming.

People should also remember that "lucidity" isn't necessarily "control over." To take command of the situation in a dream or change it to your will might drive you crazy just as could not sleeping. But to be able to take control is important, or so I hear. Otherwise, I think keep...

If your goal is to disprove many "doubtful" forms of magick and narrow it down to only the provable, you will only be proven wrong.

Re: what is magic ?

Magick and magic are just words. It's the effect which is the power, or at least it seems to be power to those who don't understand. To the initiated and adepts, it could be mere daily life. So, science, while simple and understood by our generation, is just another magic. I don't think magick is co...

And, remember that in regular dreams, most things seen in the dream are parts of the self. The creature may well be an outside entitiy, as it was a dream depicting an outside environment. However, keep it in mind that the shadow may be a part of the self, instead. There is such a thing as a shadow g...
