@Highest "Miracles" is what religions call it when their leaders do magick. Its usually much later the religion bans magical practices for control reasons. The Christian church didnt ban magic until the 1500s. Jesus even makes reference of using a head demon (Beleezabub) to cast out less powerful, lower demons ("demon" simply means spirit - does not mean good or bad).

The more interactions I have with the all, the more I realize that it is completely beyond our understanding.

Yeah, that's what I thought as well about these prophets doing miracles. 

Yeah, God is beyond understanding etc.

Just one last question, how do you view yourself in relation to the All? Seperate? A part of it? Or simply it? Surely, since it's The All/The One, you cannot be seperated from it?

Something to think about - If this was your last day alive, would you express love differently? If it was your last sunrise/sunset, would you feel it differently? Live in that place.

Beautiful way to put it.

Even if it were my last dark cloudy day, I'd wanna be there for it.

@Matt8800 It's one thing which hasn't left me yet and no one but me knows this yet, and that is the energy thing. No one knows it, but I can literally feel and sense energy, sometimes it gets absorbed in me and I can feel it cuz it comes like an electric shoot, sometimes powerful and other times not so powerful. 

I can't see it and absorbe it to me like I used to, or help others by giving them energy from myself, but it hasn’t to this day left completely.

It's both a blessing and a curse. Sometimes it simply gets too much, if I'm in a low frequency all I feel and sense is low frequency energy, even dark ones. If I'm up there, it's all good. I just have to figure out what and how to deal with this. It's ultimately a blessing if I only could handle it properly. I think I must begin the work now, I haven't becomed so conscious of this fact until now.

It's painful many times, when I feel down and I can sense that I'm giving out low frequency energy, and I can feel, sense and see when others around get negatively affected by it. And it goes the other way around as well. I know for a fact that I have to become a proper vessel for all this energy, in order to uplift others and myself. 

Energy is fundamental in all interactions, more so than the mind. Maybe it's not as fundamental as conscious awarness, but energy and awarness undeniably go hand to hand.

@AwakenedSoul444 Yes, there are tons of ways. The best and easiest ways are in hoodoo or witchcraft imo. If you google it, you can find people giving some pretty crazy stories about how well they worked. There are a bunch on reddit. Usually people that dont think these spells work are people that have never done them. The more people do these kinds of spells, the more convinced they are that they work.

Some spells will bind specific people to you and cause them to feel emotions they wouldnt normally feel. I would avoid this because if there is no real chemistry, it doesnt last. Ive also heard of people casting spells and then deciding later they dont want the person and the other person is turned into a stalker. What I would do is create some kind of talisman to create situations where you would bump into people that fit specific criteria that you feel would have some kind of chemistry.

I would google "hoodoo love spells" and witchcraft love spells". I would avoid any spell that calls on the help of wrathful spirits to help if you are not familiar with working with spirits. Most love spells do not involve wrathful spirits.

I havent done this kind of spellwork but I have heard many times to think carefully about what exactly you want because you sometimes get exactly what you asked for but not really what you wanted.

 

Reminds me of Baal Kadmon in his book about Moldavite. Is he a good source for you? Do you also use moldavite/crystals for magick?

@Highest My answer would be yes to all those questions 

We are part of the All and separate at the same time. Spirituality is full of paradoxes. 

Some people reject duality but that is as incomplete as people that only see duality.

@Highest There are many occult techniques to manage and control that. If you're interested, I would start with the books Sorcerers Secrets and Six Ways.

@Highest I recently started trying to dedicate half my spiritual time into Eastern practices of concentrating my mind and raising vibration by "breathing" in love, beauty and gratitude. According to Kabbalah, one should be balanced with love/mercy and strength/severity. For me, Eastern traditions are good for the love/mercy and the occult is great for strength/severity.

Our vibration is either intentionally created or we allow our environment to dictate our vibration, which usually then just erodes over time. Its easy to get out of balance either way so we must be mindful.

@Visionary I like him but dont follow him much. There are many path possibilities in the occult. After investigating almost all of them, I found my path and pretty much stick to it at this time. 

I dont use crystals much but many people get a lot out of them. I do however use a large labradorite skull that I put a spirit into a lot. This spirit connects me with spirit guides and allies to relay information and also the akashic records to give me wisdom and knowledge. It/he has been crazy effective.

Indeed.

One should embrace everything. Duality, seperation, good, evil, suffering, happiness, sorrow, pain, love. 

We are part of God. Many feel seperate from God, disconnected. It's all a matter of perspective. All a matter of your direct experience. 

I'm just happy knowing, as you probably do as well, that... 

God exists.

Okay, I think I am just a shit occultist and can't improve.

@Maximus I would highly recommend the I Ching book I referenced. 

I think a lot of people dont feel they get results because they have incorrect expectations and methods. For clairvoyance and divination development, I would recommend a book called How to See Fairies by Ramsey.

@Highest Although my definition of God might be radically different than a religious person, there is no doubt in my mind about Gods existence.

@Matt8800 Have you experienced LoA and Infinite Intelligence in your life?

@Ero What does LOA stand for?

People say they experience infinite intelligence but Im skeptical that finite beings can every truly experience true infinity. I have made some radical connections with the cosmic intelligence but I try to stay away from descriptions. 

As the Taoists say, "Any description of the Tao is not the Tao".

@Matt8800 thank you for your effort with this thread. 

I'd like to ask you to please elaborate on your distinction between the mystic and the clairvoyant. 

From what I've gathered and correct me if I misunderstood, the clairvoyant has a wonderful ability to interact with the spirit realm while still using the 5 senses, because they actually see things, hear things, have direct experience, while the mystic primarily goes by intuition or has an abstracted experience? I don't know if I'm making sense but I'm basing it off my understanding of how you describe how it works for you (mystic) and how it works for your wife (clairvoyant). 

The clairvoyant is very sensitive to the astral/subtle/energy body and the mystic has a very powerful third eye? The mystic can simply know the reality the clairvoyant experiences? 

I'm just throwing my musing out in question form and I'm hoping you'll be able to help me have a better understanding, I'm trying to grow as a mystic.

You said you left your body and gave your wife a kiss in the other room right? Wasn't this very difficult to do as a mystic? Something like astral projection seems it would be easier for a clairvoyant than a mystic. 

What should mystics and clairvoyants be working on to improve their respective gifts? And to what end? How do these two types best serve the world?

@Unjigorjigor Ive heard the dichotomy in certain places but now Im rethinking it a bit. I think a person can be one or the other or both.

I believe natural mystics tend to be analytical/intellectual while natural clairvoyants tend to be feeling/intuitive. I believe everyone has psychic sense abilities but analytical people are just more out of touch with these senses. Also, the analytic mind of a natural mystic usually tends to ignore "irrational" input.

For example, if I tell you to focus on the total feeling and experience of your left big toe, you would suddenly become are of your toe, the warmth of your sock, etc. That feeling was there before I mentioned it but you were not aware of it until I directed your attention to it. In the same way, you are receiving information to your psychic senses but you most likely are unaware of these senses or what they even are. These psychic senses can be made much stronger with regular usage. 

I think a mystic should connect to their body by doing regular body scanning meditation. This builds up the subtle etheric and astral bodies and senses. There is a good book called How to See Fairies by Dukes that is really good at learning how to connect with these senses. Visual Magic by Jan Fries is good too. Those books can help someone get started on shamanic journeying and astral projection (among other things).

Clairvoyants tend to be prone to inner chaos, fear, instability, self-doubt, etc. I believe they should focus on transcending their ego and mastering it. They also seem to tend to need more grounding and centering from what I observed. The mystic should do this also but usually the clairvoyants ego seems to have even more power over their actions. Of course, these are speculative generalities based on my limited experience.

I bought the first book. I get stuck. I always get stuck. Reading the second book is easier.

I had experiences in the past, such as, I saw one of my chakras spinning clockwise. But, if you were facing me, and seeing the same thing it would have hypothetically been spinning anti-clockwise. Do you have any idea what this means?

Edit: I also have a question regarding a repeating tarot card as an answer. For example, if I keep getting the hermit as the answer to something, but I am not embodying or embracing that answer or understanding it correctly related to the situation. Or, my intuition and heart has an answer and interpretation to a card such as lovers but it does not manifest. This is where I get stuck.

@Maximus What a clairvoyant sees with their "inner" eye is going to be different than the processing visual information from the physical eye. Our minds interpret psychic signals and try to translate them into mundane sensations. Ramsey covers this in his book. There really isnt a smooth translation from the psychic senses to the mundane senses. This means that two people might sense, or "see", a spirit but sometimes describe it differently but that doesnt mean that one is wrong. Trying to describe what one senses psychically can sometimes be like trying to describe a psychedelic experience.

If one person was trying to describe the feeling of their big toe in their sock, one person might describe it as "warm" while another person may describe it as "soft". Neither are wrong.

Take that with the grain of salt since I am just now developing my psychic senses. One of the reasons why it didnt come as naturally as some is because of my over-analytical nature. We all have psychic sense input but many just arent aware of it or tuned in to it.

Do you think psychiatric medicines screw up with our psychic abilities?

After starting psychiatric medicines, I could not capture other people's thoughts anymore. I remember I was able to know what they were going to say before they said that. It happens sometimes nowadays, but not so intense as before.

@Matt8800 When both my grandmothers were sick and dying a crow kept cooing outside our house in a very peculiar and distinct way. We could recognize it and after we got the news of their death (they died on separate dates) it stopped cooing, never to be seen again. It's as if it knew they were going to die and was telling us to go attend them. Now the local newspaper did say something like a crow had escaped an experimental lab and was found again, but still, was it the same crow? Why only start cooing just before someone is about to die? This happened on two separate occasions. My grandparents lived in a different country too. 

Do crows and other animals hold any special powers? Particularly crows in relation to death.
