@yangmilun It is a news site owned by the Russian government...

Hey look, Mikael made a bitter post everybody

Thanks for your answer

@Koyaanisqatsi Thanks for sharing. How good is your concentration? For you, how important was concentration in reaching liberation?

@Truth Addict You love the smell of your own shit, don't you?

Why versus? Tantra has a deep Yoga system. I'd say Kriya Yoga and Kundalini Yoga are tantric practices. Check out Tantra Yoga for more info. Tantra is very broad. And check out Christopher Wallis and his book Tantra Illuminated for a good overlook. He is also working on a system on his website that will share a lot of wisdom and practices that are related to Shaiva Tantra. We live in a world where you can get a lot of wisdom and guidance from your home thanks to the internet.

Looks like you got some serious work to do

Awesome post. I will join and recommend The Mind Illuminated. Also to all you people that are sincere seekers struggling with emotional and mental disorders - Never give up. Don't get defeated. And if you do, get back in there. Rewards are coming your way.

People definitely underestimate how powerful cannabis can be. Especially if you do it with zero tolerance beforehand and you take alot. I know exactly what you mean the insights come flooding like that. It's beautiful. Sadly I can't smoke it due to how hooked I get on it. Some day I hope to be able to use it once a weekend or month. But there's alot of purification work to be done before being able to do that.

@Aakash Your manic posting is getting a bit ridiculous at this point

Feels like I'm back in middle school

Thank you

100% enlightenment guaranteed. If you order within 1 hour we'll throw in 1 pair of heat proof oven gloves and a small Buddha statue. Don't miss this chance!

@kieranperez To give my perspective on this. Doing the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram and Middle Pillar Ritual has helped me very much. Check out the book Modern Magick to get those rituals. It has been the best purification practices I have ever done, and also the best energy practices. I have seen great effects in a very short time, so you might want to check out those rituals and see if they do anything for you.

@Matt8800 Damien Echols and Peter Carrol say for sigil magick to work you need to forget about the intention and let it grow in the unconcious while Jason Miller say that it is not the case. What is your perspective on that? Also when it comes to making money do you do divinations to make sure it doesn't turn into black magick? I know Kraig wrote about that being important. I haven't done any casting or sigil magick yet. Been focused on LBPR and Middle Pillar mainly so I wouldn't know but would be interesting to get your thoughts and experiences on that.

Oh the irony..

@whoareyou When you talk to a relative don't you as an entity communicate with another entity? In the relative sense. You are as much spirit as a machine elf or an arch angel. I am not saying it's still not "divine imagination", in the end it is the grandest masterpiece made out of itself. But is it such a big leap to consider that there are entities not just in this "realistic paradigm" that we are in?

Album of the year. What an amazing band. They usually took 6 years between albums, but this one we got after 13 years. So according to my calculations we should have the next album in 26-27 years.

@abrakamowse Shinzen Young said it took him 20 years to be completely detached from the frustration he would get in trafic and trafic stops. 20. Years. Lol.

@Matt8800 Thanks!

@Matt8800 What do you mean by "local spirits"? And what have you found to be good offerings? I will soon start working with spirits. Been gathering info on evocations but from a Chaos Magic and a more traditional Magick sense. Both styles tend to melt into eachother beautifully in general like you wrote. I've been watching some podcasts with Jason Miller, really resonate with him, and he makes that point as well. The freeing and very non-dogmatic aspects of Chaos Magic merges with the traditional Magick and blends into a very powerful toolset. I have decided to start his 1 year course in some weeks Oh and also. When calling the entity in and you feel the presence. Do you have to make requests? Can you evoce just to be with the deity and establishing a connection? Not talking about doing it for fun and see what happens. But just be present with the deity and be grateful for showing up without neccesarily asking something?

@Matt8800 Is your connection to Hecate distinct from your connection to your guardian angel? When you ask for spiritual guidance from both do you feel you get guidance from 2 entities that are distinctely different from eachother? If you would add another dark Goddess, let's say Kali. Could that create problems? Could your devotion be questioned from any of the entities and create problems for you?

@Matt8800 Very interesting. I will look into his course, thanks

@Matt8800 Just dropping in to say that this thread is just beautiful. I keep getting a lot of very helpful info, books and great advice from reading it. I appreciate the effort you put into this. Thanks
