Aleister Crowley: The Book of Lies (chapter 69). From my gatherings: semen is a seed, that impregnates the egg and gives life. Just like your will impregnates the subconscious and gives manifestation. From my experience, semen is not seed. Semen is more like the alchemical 'Mercury'. The "Seed...

Instead of using those methods, I was instructed in something far more simple and far more natural: just relax. Relax, relax, relax. Practice solo while exercising relaxation - do not focus on trying to climax at all, just train yourself to enjoy the pleasure for its own sake. Just practice and rel...

The microcosmic orbit is a good beginning point, but 'energy' is a broader term from what I described

Corvidus - do you have any favorite resources or readings? Of course I do :) -Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality (Charles Luk) -The Secret of the Golden Flower -Foundations of Internal Alchemy: the Taoist Practice of Neidan (Wang Mu) -Turning the Law Wheel The rest of my resources are from person...

There are many applications. Mine is towards enlivenment and health through circulation and refinement of the 'generative force'.

Not 'any' problem. Sometimes we need to burn off karma. The best way 'magick' can effect the physical body is through purification rituals (usually with the moon). Most dis-ease doesn't leave because we continually hold on to it. Just breath and let it go. Are you stating that through purification ...

I wonder how healing through magic? How magick can affect the physical body ? Any problem in the physical body can be healed with magick? I thank all who respond Not 'any' problem. Sometimes we need to burn off karma. The best way 'magick' can effect the physical body is through purification ritual...

It sounds like this guy is on a power trip, and clearly doesn't understand that power isn't something you have and own--it's something you give. I could give a damn about the laws of man in this situation. Except to the extent that I don't want to go to Jail or be punished by human laws. That would ...

Next observation: he describes paths to immortality that all end in the grave. There are no examples of yogis, fakirs or monks living more than long yet still natural mortal lives. For this, youll have to look to the alchemists. Or the bible, in which the earlier humans live for hundreds of years.

The Sly Man obviously knows what the other three have been up to, and uses their attributes to his advantage.

Interesting read though., I quite like it.

I went through a pretty heavy black phase as well, not so much towards external hatred and revenge, but self-hate and despair -- as well as the typical child/parent relationship troubles. Now this hate and desire for the revenge is manifesting itself through some various forms. How can I deal with i...

So basically.... to have a consciousness you need not only mater, but also energy/electricity AND magnetism. Greedy :D Haha yes it is greedy. These are just metaphors though. It was easier to write thay out then a 2,000 word essay on why i think so. How else does consciousness fix into one point, i...

Conscious becomes aware of itself You might like the Buddhist concept of Bodhi : A Buddha is one who has attained liberation and an understanding of the causal mechanism by means of which sentient beings come into existence. This mechanism is called pratitya samutpada or dependent origination. The ...

I think thoughts are formed of energy at the direction of will. Will being at the direction of conscious awareness. Can you prove this? :D Only subjectively. Maybe there is science to back it up, but that's too much research for me. I'm basing this off experiences while meditating, that the brain-w...

That doesn't seem to be the case. A lot of simple organism is aware, but they are not aware that they are aware. They can sense, but they can't think. How can you prove this? Then what is a thought, and can thoughts exist without mater. Good question. I think thoughts are formed of energy at the di...

I think you'd find better paying jobs by offering your services to politicians and movie producers :p

The conclusion doesn't necessarily follow the premise: The conscious is aware of things, but before it can be aware of something, there must be something to be aware of. This means that matter existed before the conscious did There is more than one conclusion to be drawn. Conscious becomes aware of ...

can sexual energy that doesn't result in orgasm be sent to a sigil? Orgasm is in the brain science says and not between the genitals. Quite incorrect. The brain is only an interpreter, your sexual arousal starts in the genitals when your generative force begins resonating with your partners -- whic...

Know the difference between thoughts, images and sounds which arise from the imaginative intellect, and thoughts, images and sounds which arise from outside yourself

I think the best beginners book is the Sephir Yetzirah.

Why? Because I still use it, and every time I've read it (even the first time) I get something different from it.

Yesod? Why not Gevurah? Yesod and not Gevurah because of the OP's experience: Weeks went by, then one day as I felt the presence again, I heard a voice, very distinctly, simply the words "My name is Samael". [. . .] I heard a voice yet again, very distinctly, say merely the word "Yes...

I like how there's a nice picture, but no explaination of anything. We need more of this.

Has anyone worked with the English letters in this way, and if so, what was your experience? My experience is slightly different. In theory, yes we pronounce the letter 'B' as 'B-E', but in practice, 'B' has a distinctly different vibration than 'E'. Tuning into and pronouncing the vowels is easier...
