For a moment, I thought that link was going to go to some music by Scientology band The Jive Aces

Thank you for your response. Interesting interpretation! Similar to my own, though I interpret the mingled souls as union of the HGA and what some ma...

Indeed so. I was just pointing out that the reference could simply be alluding to one of the foundational practices of Thelema. The De Cultu regimen ...

"Neglect not the Performance of the Ritual of the Pentagram, and of the Assumption of the Form of Hoor-pa-Kraat."

We could mention names, but will not. Ultimately, one makes the decision to leave the work. One can continue it or not, regardless of externa...

If it doesn't stand the test of the world, it isn't real. I would agree with that. Which I assure you I do. 😊 and de...

I tend to regard the first half as am extended critique of Nietzsche. 😉 I did slip on typing the title, though. Thank you for the correction....

wiZARD of OZ Evola wrote half a book on that. Riding the Tiger. "thangka", not terma.

While it it certainly possible to temporarily attain a particular state of consciousness, like it is with chakras, the key to initiation is reaching t...

That seemed to run in the family given her sister Alma's association with Pierre Bernard

True, and I do prefer having accurate information. Not that the mythmaking necessarily invalidates anything. People still do use the Golden Dawn syst...

I am well aware of that. 😀 Precisely. The longest term results rarely manifest in full in the ritual chamber. While I do see the ide...

Aww, thanks! I am completely open to being proven wrong.

It seems I'm single definition, as I thought, and a projector.

Time in the absolute sense, linear time being a human construct, with our experience of it being malleable. A rite said by some to all...

Aw, thank you! 😀 Is there a sad trombone emoji? There really should be lol This will have to do. But it's like de Gebelin and de ...

True, it is, I just meant that the I Ching more overtly deals with just yin, yang, and the transition from one to the other rather than a full synthe...

Indeed and Carroll's writings list many ways of altering conscious, divided in to inhibitory (ascetic) and excitatory (ecstatic) methods. Pranayama, s...

Thank you for your faith in me but honestly I have never seen any source for it before Levi, and I have looked for it. I suspect that the sphinx asso...

Exactly. Chemognosis is listed among the methods for achieving altered states. Unfortunately, for many this seems to have become the default, with n...

"=/=" means does not equal, so I was saying that drugs does not equal magick. While I've seen too many Thelemites use their beliefs as an excuse for...

One of my favorite methods, as everyone here can probably guess Which can point the way, and help in learning how to get there on your own ev...

@shiva Thank you. It just seems like the model that makes the most sense

It's essentially binary. The Tai Hsuang Ching is based in threes, adding another line with two breaks.

The 2000 years model does not hold up to a study of history, not to mention that there was no age where Isis or Osiris ruled universally on a global s...

With some of the things I've talked about here, I can't see why not!

And evidently to the idea that the Aeon arrived complete on day one and nothing will develop from that point. For the current Aeon, what ...

I didn't think that you were disagreeing. And I am familiar with the yugas as well. I also hold the heretical belief that some who have announc...

The way to do such a thing would have to be relative to that particular individual's needs. One needs to exist in the current world but bring the circ...

@the_real_simon_iff It's Sam Webster's work, so it's well researched and thought out, and from a respectful viewpoint. It's basically adapting...

Such things tend to arise more often as side effects of practice than as anything sought after. Language can only provide tools to po...

What has been learned so far. I'm just giving the facts, without judgement. The Book of Desolation claims to represent the first stirring of t...

I tired the one you shared- I got some results but not as intense as the other simulators- maybe because the flickering is more full screen with those...

AL OR AL is just great in general.

With a little help, we got a response. Asked what he'd be comfortable with being shared here. I'll share what I can when he responds.

I use several, all on youtube, changing when I get too used to them. I usually use alpha or theta frequencies. Any search will turn up plenty of exam...

I actually made a physical one a few years ago but don't have it any more. There are actually a couple of simulators online that I know of, which I'v...

Welcome back David! We've missed you!

Amado displayed a basic grasp of the techniques of Western Ceremonial magick, and of some old school "cunning craft" style witchcraft. But he also cl...

And on the note I'm not giving you any more outrage for you to jerk it to. You've probably used up an entire bottle of lotion just on this thread alre...

I am well aware of that, I was just pointing out two of the most obvious elements. That seems rather clear yes.

Baguazhang is nice for those with an interest in the I Ching. @katrice Here is a shocking revelation: Hitler himself had no interest in the occ...

Yeah, really, any accounts of Hitler as some kind of dark magus are pure fantasy. I admit I have read a translation of Wiligut's writings, but th...

It's only mentioned in the post that revived this thread: maybe that's because most books on that nazi occultism take a lot of "creative...

Have you or anyone else ever gotten in contact with Jason Brett Serle, the only other person said to have seen the Book of Desolation?

I prefer accuracy. I'm funny that way.

Any mystery that can be communicated through language is not a true mystery. However, more down to earth, with free admission, we find the co...
