This is within a time span of about two years. Other forms magick is something I've been doing for about 4 years. I can make them pretty long (about an hour or so) but some are still short. Fun time related stuff can be caused when combined with heavy concentration. Receiving verifiable information from the past would be possible with good concentration* visualization (kasina practice). Winning the lottery, sex, healing sickness is possible with simple chaos magick. Especially combined with heavy concentration. From time to time it's still possible to run into difficulties, kinda like running into an anti-cheat. I'm not God realized. This is more like having cheat codes in a game / building your own hack client. God realization would be more like knowing & understanding the whole source code / being able to create other games.

Went from having almost none, even thinking I don't really have many dreams to AP whenever I want multiple times a day in a relatively short time. My tips: 1)First learn Raduga's method (The Phase book) That will allow you to do it 2 - 3 times a week. Multiple times every successful session. But don't do it more times a week than that, the method can become spoiled. Also you have to write down your dreams! 2) Then, after gaining some experience (6 months+) & learning some control. Combine it with either affirmations (good but might not be enough) or witchcraft (learn how to charge a sigil, create a sigil that means you will project & the meaning can include ultra vividness ideally and do it during WBTB). Now you can AP 5 - 7 times a week, multiple times a session. 3) After another month of doing that I would add binaural beats and make my sleep segmented (eg 4h core, 3 - 4x naps). Combine with previous method. Now you can have multiple successful sessions and have multiple full blown OBEs everyday. The things that affect whether you get real world input or not: brain frequency (hence the binaural beats, also probably the reason why Monroe had different focuses). & Kasina elemental meditation, health, certain herbs, holotropic breathing, your magick skill etc. And kasina meditation in high doses can turn astral projection into a full blown siddhi. (Accuracy of input, in some cases even the ability to affect the world directly - which is caused mainly by the intent / concentration). I've had almost 1000 of them spread over approximately 250 sessions in the past two years. Many of which were extremely long, vivid & controlled. It takes A LOT of practice before you can reliably to use it to get real world input. It is likely important that you do it in the order I outlined if you want to get this much control.

Practical steps to become a hireable PHP guy in a month: During your two off days take some armodafinil and start learning eg. PHP right after waking up. 8 - 12 hours. If you have zero distractions you can learn the basics, OOP, testing & build a project that could get you hired within a month. (The project should show that you have a good grasp of object oriented programming - Abstraction, Encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism. That you know how to work with eg. Rest API & that your code is clean. Good book for that is Clean Code) If you're going to go with PHP you should also learn how to work with REST API, since that's what you will probably have to work with. So basically, cut out all the distractions temporarily (hobbies etc) and just focus on something like this and you could get hired within a month. If these sound like buzzwords then read again after learning the basics. If you're going to go with PHP.

If you don't want to freelance then a small shop is probably the best. Maybe a book shop or the library or something. That should be pretty chill and you could study during your shifts.

If you use only one kasina for 300+ hours you can actually unlock all elements at once in the end (without ever using the other ones), that is mastery. I have not done that yet though. It is pretty insane to consider that the elements actually are something truly biological.

Satan was created by you.

Are you talking to me? What post? I have almost no threads here. Edit: I assume you have tagged the wrong person.

Well done!

Thanks for the concern, but my practice is going pretty damn well. So you assumption is not accurate at all.

I would be really interested in reading your contemplation texts. Obviously there's a lot in the videos already, but I'd say if you just dumped everything that you're comfortable sharing in text, there'd be a shit ton more. Also maybe a forum section where people can share what they contemplated, what (if any) substance they used etc. Maybe that'd push people to do more work.

Could be the dark night of the soul with a not too insanely hard intensity. If it's so then a single Vipassana retreat would actually completely cure it.

How did you get there? How has your experience been so far?

Yeah, you're right. It's because sexual repression is unhealthy. It's kind off like not eating enough calories.

It basically comes down to discipline and discipline comes down to this:

It's basically mainly a question of habits / dumb animal biology. If you do a lot of fun things that are useless, your dumb brain will associate it with being useful. Remember -> your animal part IS NOT INTERESTED IN SURVIVAL. IT IS INTERESTED ONLY IN FOLLOWING THE DOPAMINE HITS. If you want to be productive / disciplined you have to cut out things that are too fun without a purpose. Like YouTube, video games, chatting with friends. You can still keep something, like masturbation - since that's pretty harmless. Then your dumb animal brain will go down to the next things that can produce dopamine eg. Building your business or studying or both. And that's when building your business or studying BECOMES FUN. Good habits are kind off an on / off switch. Mindset wise it's a question off "do I want a reward now that will sacrifice my future goals, or are my goals good enough to sacrifice SOME pleasure (video games, YouTube etc - no sexual sacrifices need to be made) so that I can have it later (because it will be much more fulfilling -> pleasurable than any dumb, free, short term thing you can do). Edit: it might be beneficial to do a short term water fast (3 - 5 days), because it's a quick switch button. If you do only positive stuff during this time, IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY BECOME FUN!

One of the few smart replies in this thread.

I've done them. They're great. You must do an extraction, otherwise you're going to feel sick. Simple cold water extraction is enough. If it doesn't feel strong enough, then do some holotropic breathing. I think it would also combine nicely with weed. Just in case you want to make it stronger.

This is just a classic case of different stages on the spiral having different needs and some people not having integrated lower stages. If you want to be really good at inner work, you should already have some good money. You don't have to be rich, but you shouldn't be slaving away all day.

Then just practice many hours of concentration. At least 1 - 2 hours a day. Ideally more. You can still contemplate. If you aren't able to answer hard questions then just question something simple at first. Try to find the true reason behind your behavior. "Why do I do x?" "is it because y?" Try to really sink into the question.

You have to build up your questioning muscle. That's contemplation. You should perhaps start with something simple, if you're doing it sober. Like questioning your habits and trying to find the true reason behind them. Harder questions should be done on psychadelics. With an appropriate dose / compound.

Read "The Phase" by Michael Raduga. I have been in your exact situation years ago and this has been a huge stepping stone in getting me to a place where I can lucid dream any night I want.

AP is a LD but it can be connected with the real world by other psi abilities or high concentration. If you astral projected long enough you can use it to set intention to receive accurate information, even affect the world and it will happen, just like it would have happened if you used it awake.

Practice. Question everything. Turn your whole life into a gigantic question. When you feel stuck take a psychadelic. Low dose is enough to get "unstuck".

If you want a general feel for why it's sometimes hard to show to others: https://www.integrateddaniel.info/magick-and-the-brahma-viharas If you want to build some basic skills fast: Read Alan Chapman's advanced magick for beginners, Daniel Ingram's fire kasina book, Maybe some more books written by Alan.

Me. Raduga's method first allowed me to AP & LD a few times a week. I combined it with my manifestation technique and now I can have LDs and APs every time I want - if I put in the effort I can do it 5 - 7 times a week with multiple LDs & APs every night. Also all day awareness & concentration meditation makes it much more stable and vivid. Also I'm experimenting with visualization exercises that will make it even more extreme. I've been able to verify things I saw during AP while walking through the city. But that is only 1 - 2 out of every hundred APs. At least for now. Also affect the real world when projecting in an extremely concentrated state.
