Yeah, those runes do work wonders. I made a rune charm on regular paper, licked my finger, and traced each rune. It felt a little wierd doing it, but it is a bodily fluid, so it adds power. It's also not as painful as pricking your finger. Then I burned it. It did what it was meant to against a sing...

I can think of two things which I hope helps. The first is that eating can also ground you. Heavier foods will ground you more, but this is rather effective and might hinder meditation altogether. The second thing, more of a speculation, is that if you take the time (years maybe) to get good at medi...

What I've always enjoyed reading is good, active discussions or people's individual practices and experiences. I will warn though, something I've seen in my own ventures, that if there's a 20-page thread, they either read the first page or the last couple, but few read the whole thing, to know exact...

Ya'll are as crazy as I am. Let's start a club.

I can imagine he was patient, and that things could be different on both sides of the veil, but that is still a very wild claim. I honestly don't know if you're powerful in an unknown way, Bomoss, or if you're pulling our legs. But since I don't know, I can't merely take your word for it, either. I ...

Case: Very true. I've never once had anybody to teach me anything like that, nor have I met anybody who knew for that matter. But we probably all have those things about us which would make true understandings come slowly. I haven't read far enough, I suppose, to see any war between them. But as for...

Carlos' whining removed?! That's gotta be nice. I love that he wrote those books on don Juan's knowledge and teachings, but seriously? He's gotta be the biggest city slicker I've ever read about.

Case is right, the occult is not truth, merely a path to truths. Even then, you might find a truth for you that isn't universal, but it's still true for you. for that, I reccomend looking through this beginners info's first page worth of topics. There are some interesting books and notions to spur e...

Flying space monkeys?? I knew it!

Ya, I realized the connection, also. It seems like an exact match. Science (or that is to say, physics) seems analogous to old style European magick, much like religion paraphrases paganism.

Well, this answered my question about what the purple swirl was (moved topic) but what is a topic pentagram covered in gray-white sparkles?

Something that might work, even if you would never want to try it, is a very simple abstinence. It works for me that not having sex makes me far more sensitive both to physical things as well as energetic. I haven't encountered anything truly magickal yet since I started, so I don't know about much ...

What a bad time for me to start a study group...right when I find the most awesome training I've ever known.

Perhaps he got the picture, but I was looking forward to a response from him.

Lol, help him out, Bomoss. Everybody should try dying at least once in their lives.

That would be a very informative stickie.

Yes! My pineal gland knows the Nose, who knows.

Thanks for all the information routing, Nahemah.

The accident I was in when I was 18 which crushed my face could very well have damaged any one or a number of these areas. It's a good thing people grow new brain cells.

Ya, don't dabble. That's not a shut down--by all means I hope you pursue knowledge here--merely some friendly advice.

Hey, I have memory problems, though not nearly the anterograde "40 First Dates" memory problems, just intense difficulty forming long term memories, remembering where I put things, to pick something up that I set down before I move on, etc. I'm also told that I have asthma (very minor), an...

In the sixth grade I got the image of something just like this that could warp the world like a black hole into its tentacles.

Yay Robert Anton Wilson! Long die Robert Anton Wilson!

In the west, we seem to have killed our link to planetary and galactic energy, but it still exists. Maybe the "holy ghost" is an interpretation of that. I know that the native cultures in the west still think of energy, even if it's just something their grandparents talk about. The Dao or ...

Ya, Pablito and Nestor, I remember them. They were don Juan's other male apprentices, and mentioned at least in The Fire From Within if not other books.

Dang, that's cool and it sucks!
