    I thought you spoke with irony, if i was wrong sorry.

    Oh, okay. No Biggie.

    So yeah, I agree with you there – everything seems to revolve around deepening in love. It's this love that I also find so mysterious. Like I can so clearly see that it's real, but as to where it comes from – that completely boggles me.

    I speak based on past experiences, the conversation helps to deepen them, but what I say does not have to be correct, I am not a leo or someone like that, just a few experiences with psychedelics and selfi inquiry. 

    Yeah, and I think it's good that we take the opportunity to discuss them because then it helps prevent them from turning into beliefs while sometimes opening our minds into further possibilities.

    Irony? Man, don't make me loose my time having a conversation if I'm going to put my best and you are to act like that.

    What do you mean? What act? I thought we were having a genuine discussion, here. I don't understand what irony you're referring to.

    Anyway, it was a good conversation. I just needed to understand how you saw the matter since you don't see it as I do. Thanks for being engaged thus far.

    the infinite delves deeper into itself and creates apparent dualities with which it creates a dance with itself. You as a human are a very complex energy structure, with many layers, which includes the apparent "you" and what is apparently outside of you. All this created structure is dance, it is the infinite relating to itself. It could be deeper, more beautiful, more intricate, but it could also be less. 

    Oh I see. So this deepening exploration of itself, as the energy structures gets more and more complex, is love.

    @Breakingthewall okay, sure. I accept that it can, that it can all, because there are no limitations. BUT, why does it is the matter at hand, here. The purpose of creation. Not the omnipotence, but the activity itself. For instance, I can do numerous things that I don't actually do but remain quite capable of. Only my will is determining my peculiar activity.

    You can agree with this basic understanding that potential does not equate activity, right? Every apple has the potential to fall from the tree, but there is equally a reason why they do (go from potential to kinetic). 

    So basically I can understand the how, but why is the question. You see what I'm getting to, right?

    Infinity is just the absence of limits. with no limits, for some reason everything happens, instead of just nothing. but everything, being infinitely repeated infinitely, could be considered the equivalent of nothing. Infinity=nothing

    Not that I don't appreciate our discussion but your answers come across as quite inductive and very incoherent to me. Like, if infinity = nothing, then shouldn't it be the absence of anything? Your first sentence even seems incomplete: I'd like to understand “the absence of limits” to what?, “no limits” to what?

    Furthermore, can there be nothing and still be “reason” simultaneously? Doesn't reason count as something?

    In your last post you say that things happen because there's nothing to prevent them from happening. However it seems that you neglect the fact that there's equally nothing to provoke them from happening either. To say that something occurs because of nothing be there to prevent such an occurrence, is to assert a logic where there is supposedly nothing.

    Hence I asked you to tell what you deemed to be infinity, because I'm unable to understand your objections nor the least your context. If infinity is nothing, how can you use the word as an adjective, saying something like, “repeated infinitely”, wouldn't such a repetition equate to nothing occurring? 

    There are too many isolated equations for a realm with supposedly no rules, or limitation, as you put it.

    @Vlad_ I hope you're an outdoor person, you'll have to spend some time with nature.

    This practice is meant to get you in tune with your magical personality, and involves two of the four elements: fire and air. The setting is outside, in a forest if possible. It is done either early in the morning, or later in the evening.

    Create a small fire, encircling it with rocks. Have a good amount of extra wood because this is practically a wood-burning exercise. The fire is small for two reasons: so that you frequently need to feed it in order to keep it alive; and so that it's heat doesn't engulf you completely – you're aren't doing this for warmth.

    So you'll be sitting right by the fire all the way through. As you feed the flames, to keep them alive, you'll do this while paying attention to your breath. There's definitely breath-work involved. 

    Now, another part is, perhaps the most important part, that you must do this practice without a full stomach. Not to say you should starve yourself before this, however, you must have some appetite during your time with the fire. This practice is done either early in the morning or late in the evening. So before breakfast or supper. 

    You'll do this fire-meditation for at least thirty minutes, and within a period of seven days you'll notice a significant change in your awareness as you begin to be in tune with your magical personality.

    The closest experience I can relate with this analogy of the Mystical Mirror is that condition of lucid dreaming. In such a dream, the events happen as you imagine them, as you sequence them and such-and-such. 

    So it is with the mirror, except there is no higher world or realm to awaken to. The experience is not a dream. It only becomes like a dream when you're lost in thought, when you've forgotten all about the mirror and believe that what appears is what ultimately is. 

    Like I've said, this is what I've uncovered and realised to be true  infinity. Of course, such a realisation has nothing at all to do with the principles of how an actual mirror works. What you realise is that you are the mirror. And forgetting that is what keeps you dreaming rather than thinking lucidly. An experience is but a thought to God.

    @tuku747 so I wish there were also a way to illustrate my analogy. But I can't because the illustration is already the present eternal truth of reality being experienced.

    @Moksha @Dazgwny

    Though I understand your concepts, the mirror I'm talking about transcends them profoundly.

    See, this mirror is unbound by anything, no frame whatsoever. And this mirror literally reflects only what you're thinking. So the “frame of relativity” would also be a thought appearing in the mirror. The cosmos and space between would also be a thought appearing in the mirror. The ‘Mirror Analogy’ is also but a thought appearing in the mirror. Everything appearing in the mirror is a thought. And not just any random thought, they are all your thoughts, getting reflected as you think.

    What other myths about witchcrafting do you wish were debunked?

    Well there's also the common misconception of the Wiccan religion (and other heathen religions) being confused for the art. Witchcraft has absolutely nothing to do with any form of worship and code of ethics. That's a cultural/religious feature which any one, including a witch, is free to adopt.

    But perhaps the most biggest misconception of all is that the craft maketh the witch rather than it being a product of the witch. A person can be born a witch, do the things which any renowned witch can do, but on a subconscious level – meaning s/he is yet to realise exactly how s/he is doing it. 

    I have a few more quite ignorant misconceptions which I find to be rather premature: People purchasing magical instruments and assuming that using them now makes them witches, for instance. No, the person who crafted that device for you is the real witch, and you are just using it – it's wielder.

    There's just an entire array of minor to major misconceptions. Some of them beginning to fade, like the witch being a woman‽

    What I have seen is not that, it is that reality, being infinite, automatically manifests itself infinitely. right now the infinite is being, the finite is appearance, a trick, reality is now the infinite. You as a human avatar are the result of the apparent limitation of infinity, and the same with everything else. The paradox is that only you exist and only your direct experience is real, and at the same time the infinite is being as it always was. infinite dimensions within infinite dimensions infinitely repeated. 

    How so? What automates this manifestation?

    have you ever practiced witchcraft?

    Yes.

    How was your experience?

    The experience is always informative or ‘eye-opening’ as one might put it.

    What kind of a book would you recommend to read for a complete beginner?

    There is no book that I would recommend because I wasn't initiated into the art through external mediums. I could recommend a practice that can initiate you into the art if you want.

    @Vlad_ the thing about witchcraft, as I've come to learn, is that it's widely misunderstood. Such a vast realm of science and engineering is readily narrowed down into one flimsy misconception like “black magic” and “white magic”. Yes there are practices, but there's also a great deal of engineering involved. Hence it is a witch's craft.

    @Someone here I agree. Creation has purpose. God wants to understand what it means to be it's Oneself. And it is easier and far more efficient to learn when there is something rather than when there is nothing, thus s/he creates.

    Because the whole thing is that God doesn't know itself fully because it's infinite. So in order to know the magnitude and profundity of itself..

    Only this point I don't agree with. God's choice to create isn't rooted in an inability or limitation. God knows oneself fully and far more perfectly than any other state of consciousness, for there is absolutely nothing between him and his truth – there is no veil or distortion of any kind.

    In fact, there is no reason (as such) at all to create. There is only  love – it is a love for the light of wisdom. [I suggest you reconsider what is knowledge and what is understanding for this part of the query]

    Consider, if you will, that it is much wiser to attempt to understand your Oneness from actual creation than from mere intuition. God is the greatest philosopher – s/he is one who loves wisdom. God wonders, ‘What does it mean to be me?', just as mankind wonders, ‘What is the meaning of life?’. In both cases, existence is in question, and is ultimately the existence of one beingness.

    However God won't stop at ideating those answers, for like a true scientist, God is willing to put those ideas to the test. Thus s/he will invest itself in all the ideas of what it means to be the One Infinite. Hence you get the diversity of life-form which you find now.

    The point is, though, only love (or caring) for truth can drive a being with no prior disposition, or program, or law, to be wise. If it were not of love than it couldn't be wisdom that is being demonstrated. This is the same point which sets apart the natural intelligence of man from AI. Because the intelligence of AI stems from program rather spirit, hence only man can prove themselves wise in such a scenario.

    God is interested in knowing what it feels like to be a chair as much as it is interested in knowing how to be a human. 

    God is only interested in one thing – meaning... What it means to be what s/he is. The chair, dog and human are all but manifest thoughts in the process. Hence there is freewill, because meaning is an entirely creative/imaginative thing.

    ‘My mind’ is my field of experience, all the things that I experience (including thoughts and emotions) – so it is everything, really.

    “What is not my mind” is whatever I am not directly experiencing or conscious of at a given time. Those things can never be identified or specified because to do so would mean being conscious of it, and being conscious of it would mean bringing it into mind. So what is not ‘my mind’ is really nothing that I'm aware of.

    ‘What I am referring to with the word mind’ is the activity of consciousness which transitions and transforms indefinitely.

    So back to my question, do you at some level still view yourself similar to that flashlight, or do you view yourself as the whole ”light field” without objects or a body outside of it? Or maybe neither? 

    I think of myself as that flashlight in my day-to-day activity, because that's the view that is most useful for getting around.

    I only use the ‘light field’ view when I'm meditating on reality. It helps me focus.

    Imagine that nothing existed, nothing but you and a mirror. Now imagine that somehow the mirror could only show you your thoughts rather than your reflection. This mirror only ever shows you what you think you are rather than what you actually look like. Everything you see in the mirror is what you imagine yourself to be. The mirror has no spatial or any dimensional limitations, so you're free to think or imagine anything.

    Alright, you can stop imagining. This mystical mirror is an analogy for what I've uncovered to be infinity and the nature of all beingness. You can call it consciousness if you want to. I just call it infinity because that is what I've realised, and this analogy is the closest thing I've come up with to make human sense of it.

    Infinity, as I've learned it, is not an endless series of something. It is not an endless number of parallel, or otherwise, worlds or anything. How so? Because all of that is still finite – a thing in its own accord. True infinity is that without finitude, no magnitude of any kind and no figuration of any kind. [But this is just for you to consider]

    Back to the mirror. This mirror is the infinity. And like I said, this is the closest thing I've gotten to in terms of putting it into language the nature of reality. It's literally just this one mirror, and no rule or law as to what you can imagine. The mind or will is your only limitation.

    The truth is that everything you do you do for yourself/soul. There's  absolutely no point in life where you'll do something for an ‘other’. That's how powerful the truth is.

    The question of who benefits and who doesn't is based on psychological drama, not spirituality.

    I know there is no good or bad in the absolute sense but what would you say in relative terms?

    There is good. Creation (or the dreaming) is good. There is only benefit for the One Creator in any and every situation, no one else to be disadvantaged from the creation.
