This world is not OUR perception but the Source's mental construction. Yes, like above, so below, our perceptions can influence the surroundings. Everything in this world is dual. Just like the Source is simultaneously the All and No-thing (Ain), so our universe is both real and an illusion. That's...

I don't think people around here read or practice as much as they say..

We can ponder these paradoxical questions for ages, as philosophers have already done. But ultinately, this will only lead you back to square one.

pray to it like.. a bit of demonolatry but hopefully without the "worship" part because that's a little obsessive You mean.. Pray at it? The altar itself doesn't do anything. It's just a table with some fancy stuff on it. Not even that great of a table. It used to be a lamp. I do, I guess...

yeah i mean really? if someone irl comes up to me asking about stuff like this i'll be able to give them a good enough answer. i believe most people who are regulars here each have their own "initiate's package" to give. it's not a bad thing to have. Sometimes I just forget that not every...

It's extremely refreshing to see how many people here still retain some good humility and act as humble as they can be. Though, I did sort of wish that one or two people would go on to brag about their amazing exploits. There comes a point where knowledge doesn't matter unless you're applying it. Ev...

My altar in the past has always been very.. Practical-oriented. I've always gotten a lot of use out of it. I recently set up a specific altar to honor and work with two Gods in particular (they play nice with each other.) It isn't used for much of anything. I burn an incense stick and a candle daily...

You don't think you're proficient at anything?

Do you think you're an expert in a field of occult science? Share it with us! What do you excel in? I feel like I'm becoming very proficient in the art of self-divination; Something I never really went out of my way to practice. I've never cared about my future, yet i still learned it. Share with us...

Thanks for your replies everyone. I dont have time for a serious reply right now. Never read this stuff on wikia before. Never been too interested to, honestly "Kurt died in a very harsh way. It wasn't just an OD. He actually killed himself violently. It was so aggressive, and he wasn't an aggr...

Have you looked into Karmic Astrology at all? It might be useful for you, if you do. The North and South nodes, Part of Fortune and other Arabic parts, the position of Chiron and other such natal influences are used in this form of analysis in Western Astrology. Vedic Astrology deals with past live...

All information helps. I'm not really sure why Cobain would have had more positive karma than anyone else. It's not like he lived a particularly "good" life. He was, generally, a kind person, especially to his family and growing up. Also, the only place time is linear is here on the physic...

So, my thoughts on this topic may be extremely biased, and I'll explain why shortly, but to start things off, I've come to a strange conclusion about my most recent past life. All evidence somehow points to me being Kurt Cobain in my last life. I'll explain my bias on this, as well as my reasoning t...

Number nine is an alchemic tincture.

I love this routine, and it's extremely invigorating. I can't quite perform the handstands, and I'm a bit scared to try again since rolling over my laptop the other day, but i'm getting there. http://darebee.com/images/workouts/sun-salutation-workout.jpg I've decided to combine this with my daily So...

Thank you both for your posts. I'll try out your method, Hadit. However, wasn't Atum and Ra from two entirely different religious systems, before they eventually became the same entity? Or do I have something mixed up here? I just think it's a bit weird using both Ra and Atum's name, and in immediat...

I'm really tired of not being able to obtain proper teaching from an instructor in anything I do. I've been watching a ton of videos, and from what I can tell, a vast majority of common Tai Chi has you just moving and feeling energy. A few specific videos show demonstrations of more advanced techniq...

Everything I can find on this always seems to lead back to Aleister Crowley. Is there absolutely any references dealing with solar adorations that came before Crowley wrote of the ritual in Liber Resh? Any variation I can find on them directly references Crowley in the writing. I wrote my own, but I...

Maybe if he let me read the book first, I *might* decide it was worth buying, to provide for a starving author. Otherwise, the entire fact that s/he's doing this just goes to show that they don't have any knowledge that isn't already available. Everything in that book you can get for no price beyon...

May I ask the simplified method? I just project green or white colored intent from my body. Usually white, but I try not to use it as much because it has a tendency to stagnate more than other frequencies. Occasionally I trace an earth pentagram, or I do some drastic gesture, like clapping my hands...

Heck, give me seven thousand dollars and I'll write a book on attainment for you too. I wouldn't take this as anything more than a gimmick, at best, and at worst, a downright scam to rip people off of their money. Seriously, he's asking for 10k AUD to write a book, and to give you a simple gold-tinc...

Small update; After shortly practicing the only video I've found that was reliably basic and informative, I realized that all it was teaching me to do was float around in energy. Is this all Qigong is? Like, it's hard to describe this if you don't already know what I'm talking about.. The few moveme...

Hopefully this will be my last new thread of the evening.. I've attempted contacting just about every dojo in my area, and none of the good ones reply to my emails. The ones who reply give me information that I really don't want to hear. From how things are going, it looks like I'll never be able to...

A lot of good links so far.

I like the heavy version better, but this one gives me some good feels.
EDIT: For continuity purposes

Oh, awesome I should try this sometime soon. Thanks! Ah yes, a fellow Bardon student. Please do let me know how it goes for you. Also, take it easy. Bardon very clearly states to avoid taking in vital energy into your brain or heart, and your eyes are very, very close to your brain. It is possible ...

Do you still use this method? I've simplified my protection spell to an extreme extent, though yes, I do still use this variation when doing energy work. If I plan on invoking a lot of energy, I'll try to use all four banishing rituals in this style. I rarely use the invocations. I've found my pron...
