Re: My two cents on Chaos magick
Magick and magic are just words. What they refer to has existed longer than the worda themselves. You have no argument. Languages are not based on opinions. They are based on how words are actually used. For example, the DSM-V, though it uses the word psychology, psychology can br used elsewhere. Yo...

Re: Paradigm Check
Definitions Time Realm (renamed form "astral" to be more self explanatory if that's cool): The universe that our physical realm exists in. This realm also has the dimensions of motion throughout time. Has non-linear time. I would almost call this a timeless realm, astral works, non-physic...

Re: Lbrp help - questions and blinds
That link looks alright. I didn't read all of it, but I read a bit. 1. I don't think it actually matters what direction the angels are facing. It's the meaning that matters. When banishing, the energy is sent out, while when invoking, the energy goes in. Whatever is most intuitive to you works. You ...

Re: Lbrp help - questions and blinds
If I understand right it was meant for the LIRP to follow after the student has been doing the LBRP for a good while, at least in the Golden Dawn system. My understanding is quite the opposite. My understanding was that people following the Golden Dawn were told to do the LIRP in mornings (possibly...

Re: My two cents on Chaos magick
InMalkuth, Can you please supply a definition of "suffering". I personally find my own misery to be quite enjoyable. I actually seriously struggle with the idea of "pleasure" vs "pain". If you ram a knife through my hand, my body will respond to the pain signal automati...

Re: Lbrp help - questions and blinds
If you think it's silly just to banish, banish, banish, that's because it kind of is.
There's another ritual called the Lesser Invoking Ritual of the Pentagram (LIRP) that goes with the LBRP.

Re: Paradigm Check
Physical Plane All components have to be unified into one whole. If there are many different realms, they must exist in the same overall system. It doesn't make sense to have discrete parts because everything ultimately has to work together. I'll fold, and say that time should be a part of the dime...

Re: Paradigm Check
Love of the Direction What is it that you like about it? If it's the change from theory to application, that was the original intent all along. I never do anything on blind faith. I have to know exactly what I'm doing. Observation and Time That makes more sense. Usually when I hear "multiplier...

Re: Paradigm Check
For the record, I think the paradigm is kind of broken now. I'm not sure how to quantify the circle that represents each person's view range. The body receives all kinds of signals all the time, but we don't necessarily notice them consciously. If you mean consciousness itself, I still don't know ho...

Re: Peace, Evolution, Social Justice
Why would I want world peace? War is what brings about positive change. The majority of our developments come from war times. Besides, sometimes I think that humans crave war. Why would I want social equality? That puts me at the same level as everyone else. Where's the fun in life if not for compet...

Re: Paradigm Check
Paper and Line I really like that definition. Observation and Time Then a single observer with concentrated focus for 10 seconds equals 10 units of potential, just as you suggested and it would be a multiplier based on the number of people that are in sync. What do you mean by multiplier? Like if t...

Re: What are your goals right now? What do you want to accom
I'm focused on learning how to hallucinate at will. When I'm hungry, I want to be able to suppress the feeling so it doesn't disturb me. When I'm sad, I want to be able to imagine whatever will make me happy, etc. The biggest reason for this is that I'm celiac, and I'm kind of annoyed that all the f...

Dabbling with these ideas of winning money isnt about winning money, it is about recognizing that this world isnt real, and that something else is at play. Winning money is indeed about winning money. If this world isn't real, then what is? If you are going to make vague comments like "somethi...

Re: Effective Practice
Rin , Seemingly counter intuitive or not, it's how these arts have been preserved since the dawn of civilization - passed down in lineages from master to disciple. Yes, but that's how most knowledge in general has been passed on for so long. Oral teaching came before written language. It's not coun...

Re: Isolated from a magic Amulett (Withdrawl Symptoms)
Desecrated,
Is that an actual technique, with some basis, or are you just crafty with placebos?
Either way. That gives me some interesting ideas.
Besides, I can't really explain placebos anyway.

Re: How To Evaluate Sources
That is correct. History is written by the victor anyway, so you can't expect it to be accurate. As far as I'm concerned, there's no reason why history even has to have happened. This world could be a virtual reality where all the history was designed. Does it really matter if history is correct tho...
