Trimming the sub-forums

I know this idea has been floated before but I'm going to put it out there again - how do you guys feel about cutting down on the number of sub-forums? I really feel that the setup we have is quite excessive (45 boards!), especially since a large number of the sub-forums see little or no activity. T...

Re: Difference between psychiatrist and psychologist

I think seeing both would be ideal, unless you happen to luck onto a psychiatrist who also does talk therapy and similar modalities, instead of working through a purely pharmacological approach. Personally, I think anyone engaged in any kind of magical or spiritual pursuit should be seeing some kind...

Okay. How? Were do we start? By being honest and thorough. Don't do the whole "oh actually I'll leave that bit out because it's a bit too out there and people won't take my post seriously" thing that a lot of occultists do. Be willing to speak in public about all that stuff you usually on...

Re: What do we need MORE of in the occult community?

More honesty about practical experience - both in terms of what people are experiencing and not talking about, and in terms of what they aren't experiencing but are leading people to believe that they are. One of the problem about this is that a lot of people don't want to reveal what kind of magic...

Would you please explain signs of progress while working on the MP ? also what does it mean when they say feeling the energy ? How the energy feeling look like ?

Re: hello

Welcome man - there's a long and rich history of Christian magicians and Christian magic, and almost all of the great Western adepts of the last 1500 years were Christians - you don't need to fear that one will interfere with the other.

Re: Easiest training systems for beginners

Honestly I'd say skip any of the magical training curriculum and just focus on basic meditation for a few months. You'll get further in 2 or 3 months of attending meditation classes at your local meditation center or buddhist temple than you will in twice that long trying to figure out how to make t...

Re: Gaia and self balance of the nature

It seems like you're considering humans as something somehow separate or apart from Earth as a system (Gaia), which personally I would consider a mistake. We're intertwined with the planet, with the ecosystem and with the environment as much as any other species of flora or fauna, for better or wors...

Out of curiosity, in what context did you try the Monroe program and what was your experience with it? I've never tried it myself, but I've largely heard positive things about it.

why are you fighting so hard for a word that you yourself just defined as (in the "original" sense of the word) neo-nazi? Because, as I already stated, language is important. This is true in daily life and doubly true in metaphysical matters. If I'm worked up over the issue, it's because ...

It depends on the sense in which you're using the term. If you're using it in the origin sense it was coined, then yes, it effectively means neo-nazi. (many of the people to whom it does apply in it's original meaning would argue that there's a distinction between national socialism and ethnic natio...
