Re: Coincidence?
In one instance, I was floating in a black sea under a starry black sky. I thought it was very serene and nice, but in my dream my ex fiance was there, and he was upset by the setting. Then she came up from the depths below looking like a gigantic white squid, larger than a submarine or whale. I th...

Re: Breaking the 4th wall
Another attack (several) last night. The mages are changing their tactic it seems. {sarcasm} I have to give them credit for caring so much for me to put such time and effort into their game. {/sarcasm} Here's what happened: I was working on figuring out some information about the things going on. I ...

Re: Thoughts on what is magick
I did a quick and simple test to find out if the idea worked at all. In my mind I said a command, directed to the universe: "Show me today the number sequence 1234 on Youtube." I could contain myself for almost one minute before I had to check out if there's such a number sequence visible....

Re: Breaking the 4th wall
Once out of that, I was left with a kind of void of ideology. But instead of an intimidating thing, it was a relief. I knew then that I don't know, I wanted to know, but I made a sort of commitment to not pretending to know what I don't know. To not filling the void with bullshit. Better it be empt...

Re: Coincidence?
and you said you didn't have a mentor [rofl] Holy shit! [eek] I never thought of it that way. All I saw was some mystical entity watching for my back occasionally, until I figure out how to take care of myself. Now that I look at the list I wrote, I have to admit Entity-A seems to have played a bit...

Re: Thoughts on what is magick
All this would point to the idea, that only safe way to practise magick is onto oneself. If you do magick that affect anyone else than you, you're always in danger of doing some form of stealing/damage to others, which in turn would fall on your lap later. So you end up doing damage both to others A...

Re: Thoughts on what is magick
I believe the "as above, so below" might be true. By "god" was meant all encompassing everything, that seems to have universal consciousness. Everything else is part of it. So no Judeo-Christian view of God. That's the reason why magickal energy seems to have an intelligence of i...

Thoughts on what is magick
I just had a pondering session with my guiding spirit (or something that was answering me this morning), and this came out of it when I delved deep into the fundamentals of what magick even is: When doing magick, you instruct god to do things. You describe to god what you want to happen. Then god de...

Re: Coincidence?
Hmm, not even quite that blatant, yet technically more forceful still. What I do is more kinda stepping outside the ego of reaction, and setting a tone, subtly forcefully. perhaps it'd make more sense describing it like interacting with a dog (where dog is not a derogatory label) D: grrrrr! snarl! ...

Re: Breaking the 4th wall
I can definitely get the atheist viewpoint. If I weren't uh, if I didn't have a long list of personal experiences, I would be an atheist. Technically I'm not really into "theism" though. More just... not all of the answers to the questions I had were in the textbooks. At one time I was in...

I'll see what I learn in the long run about different uses for tools. Who knows, maybe I also start using some of them.

Re: Coincidence?
Not sure what you mean. I created the portal. What's on the other side seemed to be some spirit realm/plane/whatever they are called. All spirits, so far, have reacted every time I've commanded them when I've ran into them. Only couple of exceptions have happened, but those I think were most probabl...

Hmm, how do they come through? Is it a clear analogy to have the "door open" even if I go through it? I.e. I need to close it behind me if I go through it to prevent anything coming to this side? I'm asking because at some point I'm going back. This time I do what I have always done: comma...

I have absolutely no idea. The point that I didn't end up in someones mind in the first try but to someplace completely different was the biggest surprise for me.

Re: Coincidence?
From the Abyss I didn't get Sumerian connotations. I felt it had much more to do with Tree of Life.
EDIT:
Yep, every time I happen to think about the place being related to Tree of Life, my synchronizities are shouting "yes".

Coincidence?
Well that sucked... Long story short: A week or two ago I had tried to see if I can open a visualized mental "portal" into another person's mind to see what's in there. Never tried anything like it before. The experiment seemed to fail, as on the other side was just complete darkness and l...

Re: What's in your toolbox
I don't use any tools. I probably never will, but who knows. I've only just started my esoteric journey. The reason I'm not keen on using tools is because I'm convinced that everything you can do "magickally" comes from your own mind/subconscious or is interaction with spirits (again made ...

Re: Breaking the 4th wall
I don't think it was a trained mage. It didn't behave like a human. And yes I know all about how humans can 'really' behave outside of the normal polite society. I mean it didn't have a human sense of attention span. Anyway, point is... I don't see a human mage going on an angry tirade for days on ...

Re: Getting fooled by esoteric techniques
I think people often see what they want to see. I do think how we feel about some random things can be influenced, and if I feel very positive about something, that something means more than it actually does, my mind will begin to rationalize it immediately, to justify my positive feelings. That's ...
