I suppose it depends on what system of magick you study. In my view, there is only one system of magick, and it is obvious from reading about it that community is an important part of any magickal endeavor.

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.

The final lesson a neophyte must learn, and the first lesson of an adept, is to stop being indifferent. The greatest lesson of Choronzon is to learn to overcome chaos and to be indifferent to it. It is a different kind of indifference. The kind of indifference that most mortals possess is the first ...

The adept, as having been subjected to the Abyss, recognizes that all can, and may be; chaos. He exists in a world without meaning, turning over every particle and idea to find a thread that he can form into a rope so as to climb out of the chasm that as a fool, he chose to fling himself into. The p...

The biggest cause of suffering in the world today is the lack of respect for community. What has this mundane question to do with a Modern Magic thread on an Occult forum? Its simple really. The study of all of this is the study of nature, man, and God. A simple examination of what local Gods there...

The biggest cause of suffering in the world today is the lack of respect for community.

Its true that everything is allowed.

But it is also true that not everything is acceptable!

I am free to do what I will, the only thing that will stop me... is you.

Fiction is only fiction for those who dont believe.

You had me going up to the "its all relative part" I totally agree; it gets to the point in sharing an idea where people will disagree just because they chose not to like you. I cant stop that. Im also not going to stop questioning and presuming and contemplating and suggesting. That would...

This is just another example of peoples general unwillingness to even bother to discuss another persons ideas, to see their point of view, or to express their point of view as a counter point. Its a perfect example of why the occult world will fail just as hard as another other spiritual system. Whe...

This is a dangerous thing to try. The only legitimate reason you would have won (should the universe have chosen to comply) would be to get you to continue to study the occult so that you begin to recognize what you are trying to do any why. The fact that you didnt win is easy to answer: God doesnt ...

Thanks for the zero cents worth of opinion, buddy.

I side with you when it comes to making something out of a thing that wasnt that thing initially. Saying, for instance, that I wrote this sentence using gematria to convey some occult secret would be a lie. The point is to know what is written from a code and what isnt. Using the fifth Stephen King ...

Oh Im sorry, I misread something you said.

Im curious what you think the higher intelligences are?

Im not discounting or prejudging the value of it. I understand how it works and why its good. I dont need to study it for 7 years to assess what 7 years of study does, you represent that to me. What you say is that "Do What Thou Wilt" doesnt actually mean that, and that those who take it l...

The problem with gematria is that we arent numbers...

there is form, and there is content.

wait... are you saying aliens are fictional??

In the ceremonial magick view what is happening to those who practice chaos is that they are in the abyss and are becoming black brothers. Until you can destroy your own awareness and reform it in light of a purpose, you will never advance any further. You will be tossed about and lost.

Chaos magick is not unlike being trapped in the position of the Buddha, who can only conclude that life is suffering, and all that we are to do with it is avoid pleasure and desire. He does lead us into a pleasing way of peaceful living, but where is the joy, other than in quiet meditation of Nirvan...

@ Violetstar If you remember me talking about that arrangement of symbols in the other thread equaling 1008 , and there were two columns of nine symbols , thus eighteen in total... The sum of 1 to 18 , inclusive , is 171 ( 1 + 2 + 3 + 4...) Snake = 171 We have another arrangement of symbols , equal...

Actually Crowley never said he created this book, he actually denied that it happened to him and fought with it for years. He didnt premeditate the gematria of it. It was a received work that wasnt his design. Also you arent including every word in your translation, only certain words from the phras...

So to put it into simple language, what doing this has given you is the license to do what you wilt.

Please tell us what opening these portals and working with these powers has provided to you

The code beneath the words is... What these words individually and collectively say. Its just codes.
