That wasn't my goal. I don't want to convince you that you are wrong. Would be too much effort with no rewards. It's only for others (that have more flexible mind that might come around later) to see that there is an alternative to your ways, at least in theory.

I think this is a common misconception, that the goal of spirituality is happiness. That's why you see so many new age frauds walking around with fake smiles plastered on, pretending everything is butterflies and rainbows. Happiness and sadness are dualistic side effects of being in a body, therefore unrelated to spirit. If you aim to live a life devoid of sadness, you are robbing yourself, because you cannot have happiness without sadness.

You're going to notice that people continue to get annoyed with your condescension. Either you'll willingly get off the high horse or it will buck you off.
Ill give you that spiritual enlightenment may not be happiness at all. It may be absolute chaos to you. If that is what you are seeking then fine, that is all good for you. Personally I didnt pursue the occult or spirituality or religion or any of those things for any reason other than clarity, which would bring me peace and love and happiness. Im sure some people pursue it for power and if that makes them happy, then my statement is not wrong either.

Tell me, why do you seek spiritual enlightenment chowder?

Also, you mistake a confident statement as condescending. You have no idea what my intentions, or my view on other people are. I dont take the view that anyone is inferior or stupid.

If that's the only thing you seek, why would you bother with anything complicated to begin with? Dedicate your life, your mind and soul to Lord Jesus and he will grant you all those bread crumbs you desire (more or less).
Sometimes it's really hard for me to make sense of the things you say, I have to admit, but I'm trying. What a hell is "spiritual enlightenment"? "which is essentially discovering a good, happy and content life"? You seek happiness and satisfaction in your material physical short life and call it "spiritual enlightenment? like.. what? you give me some new form of "brain freeze".. I really have no idea how chew on that. It's as if I’m trying to communicate with someone from alternate reality. I do not understand your thought concepts.
And I dont understand your resistance to finding peace.

Absolutely incorrect...but you are so good at making statements like this... [thumbup]
Unconventional definition:

not based on or conforming to what is generally done or believed: "his unconventional approach to life"

Are you suggesting that all people practice witchcraft and magick?
1. Witchcraft is an art and practice ( praxis ) which has extremely little to do with spiritual knowledge ,
if anything at all to do with it...it is the Sublime Art of altering reality , which can encompass boon ,
bind , or bane , for starters...it can be basic kitchen witchery ( still very deep and complex ) , all
the way to opening portals between dimensions...and accessing powers and communing with spirits...

Or gods and goddesses , but not for "spiritual knowledge" 999 times out of 1000...

2. Paganism , is a name which is an umbrella term for many , many , many traditions...

Some would seek "spiritual knowledge" , many do not...some pagans are total atheists...

As far as unconventional...Christianity was considered a blasphemous cult , in it's early years...

It became mainstream , only by the imposition and conversion by force , of which it was so fond... [wink]

It would behoove you to do some research before making absurd statements... [thumbup]

Well, considering that there is a church on every three block radius in most areas of the United States, and that covens and lodges probably dont make up more than 1% of all organized religious or spiritual institutions, I feel pretty confident to say that it is unconventional, regardless of what once was.

Also, as far as I am concerned, any mental activity is spiritual knowledge, especially when it focus on things of invisible or emotional nature. Sure, you could define witchcraft as solely the act of manipulating reality, but it isnt just that- even by your own words "communing with spirits..." what is that if not a form of spirituality? If you are trying to affect reality, you do it to produce a result that would affect your happiness, right? Why else would you bother? I suppose just to fill a need, but even in meeting that need you are affecting your happiness, and happiness is a manifestation of spirituality. The spirit of a person; the mood or atmosphere they live in, is spirituality. So is mental thought, which leads to awareness of mood and spirit. Its all spirituality, essentially. And, witchcraft is not common, and it is extremely personal, and therefor it is unconventional.

Maybe you should do some real thinking before calling someones comments absurd.

If I sought spiritual enlightenment, I'd be doing zazen every day. I see enlightenment more as a birthright that's temporarily obscured. My aim is to explore and enjoy my life as a being whose experience depends on the limitations of body and mind.

1. Wicca is the fastest growing religion in the United States...

Let alone , most of us do not care to be counted , but we are all around you ,
whether you know it or not... [thumbup]

As well , I never cared if you called it unconventional...what I cared about was
your statement :

"And witchcraft and paganism is simply a name for people that practice unconventional methods to attain to spiritual knowledge."


2. "as far as I am concerned, any mental activity is spiritual knowledge"

Yeah...as far as you are concerned...does that make it true ?

No , not at all...it is your opinion , nothing more... [lol]

3. "communing with spirits..." what is that if not a form of spirituality?

No , spirits and spirituality are two totally different things...

Spirituality , as per your original intent and usage by context , implied
a "religious" type reality...thus , as I know very well , when one refers
to "spiritual knowledge" it is a term for knowledge gained from a practice
associated with a religion , often with a deity...

Now I myself , am far from Wiccan , but even under that tradition , most do
not seek "spiritual knowledge" , they honor the god and goddess...

"Spiritual knowledge" also is generally associated with ascension principles , or
a divorcing of the physical and spiritual bodies , by a dogmatic belief...

4. "If you are trying to affect reality, you do it to produce a result that would affect your happiness, right? Why else would you bother?"

To explore realms not previously explored , to see how far one can go , and to make contact with the Otherworld , for starters...

5."I suppose just to fill a need, but even in meeting that need you are affecting your happiness, and happiness is a manifestation of spirituality. The spirit of a person; the mood or atmosphere they live in, is spirituality. So is mental thought, which leads to awareness of mood and spirit."

I never mentioned happiness , nor addressed it in my posts , that was between you and Cerber...pay attention !

6. "And, witchcraft is not common, and it is extremely personal, and therefor it is unconventional."

More common than you know , by far...only personal when you are a solitary...

And , bonus points finally a true statement !

Witchcraft is unconventional if taken in the true meaning of the word...

It is *not* a *convention*...as I said previously , it is a Sublime Art... [wink] ... [thumbup]

7. "Maybe you should do some real thinking before calling someones comments absurd."

Oh , I always think thoroughly , before I speak , or post...

And I stay with my statement calling most everything I have seen you post , to be absurd...

I could use other terminology , but I am being kind... [wink]

You are making wrong assumption that achieving one would automatically bring all the candies of the universe. Clarity does not automatically lead to peace, love and happiness.

Well posted , Violetstar... [thumbup]

In the code I work with and teach , there is an arrangement of two columns of nine symbols each...

The sum of those columns , by gematria , is 1008...

Arddhu = 220

Wietchcrreayafth ( our old spelling ) = 682

Line ( thus lineage ) = 106

= 1008

Your arguments are too inane for me to recognize your comments any further, and I find your assertions about your character and age a thinly veiled attempt to affirm that you arent the immature intellect that I see you to be. The only valid argument you have is that your definition of what is spiritual knowledge is different than mine, but your failure to recognize the potential validity of my observation proves to me that you arent worth communicating with.

Ok... I am tired of weilding my dagger and sheild. This is beneath anyone to act so childish. For you, the study of witchcraft isnt about spirituality, but for me it is. Apples and oranges. In fact, it is two sides of the same coin. Magick to me encompases both elements of communion and spiritual mystcism. Thats all i want to say, peace.

Yeah, you, the guy who has relentlessly driven himself into a hole of unrespectability, are so superior to the guy who earned the group's respect on day one. You really should've quit while you were ahead, the first four times you said you were leaving the forum because nobody likes you.

For the record, being immature is not equal to inferior or stupid. If you even bother to get past your own prejudice against me and read what he and I are discussing, you will see that I am not wrong in saying these things to him.

TBH this forum is simply a bunch of people baiting each other, being offended by misinterpretation of character, and unwilling to forgive people for the inadequate method we use to communicate. Its petty, and Im going to leave it behind again.

Saying someone has an immature intellect is a fancy way of calling them stupid. I have no bias against you that you haven't created and maintained yourself through your behavior.

As usual, you spin fanciful webs to assure yourself that everyone else is the problem. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Goodbye again. I hope that someday you can find friends who have intellects mature enough to tolerate you.

Oh , you can say whatever you want to me...however it does not make you right ,
and the discussion in this thread , as in other threads you have started , or posted
in , have shown you to think overmuch of yourself , your opinions , ( which you want
to believe are the way things really are ) , and your stance , let alone continually
sounding like you are talking down to others...

That is why you have received the responses you have from me...

When you get over yourself , and learn how to communicate properly , you most likely
will find you will get better responses...it does not matter to me , if you stay or go...

However , if you choose to stay , and continue the same way of posting , and communicating
you should be ready for the same type of responses...your choice... [wink]

And , I am far from immature in my postings , and responses...I do take on those who act
in that way , such as yourself...you do have a very difficult time , when others stand up to you... [razz]

Agree with you.
witchcraft is about spirituality. [smile]
magick is sometimes a very personal journey/path, it is okay others can't understand us.
