Thank you for your response. I'll read your post! When you say internal power, do you refer only to mental power? And could it be also related to willpower energy usually associated to the third chakra?

@Superfluo It is power in your heart and power in your mind. It makes you feel like you are invincible. Nothing can break or bend you.

@Matt8800

Okay, I think I got it. Thank you!

These Gods and Goddesses come of their own accord, depending on what a person's path is.  Be careful about peddling off these archetypes on people who may or may not have a natural connection to them, that should be between the archetype and the person.

@Keyhole Agreed. That is between them and the deities. It should be a good match.

@Matt8800 Question about absorption technique laid out in John Kreiter's book:  When he talks about gobbling down energy and making it your own:

1. How do we even know energy coming at us so we can act on it?

2. What does he exactly mean by the "predatory stance"? What is it exactly?

Could you elaborate on this whole technique? Thank you Matt.

@Merkabah Good questions

1. If you dont feel negative energy, its not a problem. If it is a problem, you will feel it. If you feel it, it doesnt necessarily mean there it is caused by a parasitic entity but it is putting out psychic energy that can attract them. Its like a fisherman putting chum in the water to attract bigger fish.

2. Read my post on Building Inner Strength - Occult style and try that. After you build massive amounts of inner strength/power, remember that feeling so you can summon it again in the future. Imagine being a lion that is about ready to devour an animal that mistakenly thought it had a chance against a lion. Sit/stand and hold your head like you would imagine a predator would to summon your inner predator that is you.

Hy!

I got hypnotized by someone , without knowing that i was hypnotized . 

I do not remember anything.

i tried self-remembering hypnosis but that part of my memory is locked. I just remember just the starting.

I olso tried with someone that hypnotized me to remember, but it did not work. ( This i tried only once )

Do you know some method on how i can get some memories back ? Some memories that are "locked" In a way.

@ActualizedDavid The only way I can think of is to be hypnotized again

It's interesting to ponder what a "spirit" is

4. How did you get into spirituality?

5. What was your background , religious wise.

6. Is there a Jesus, Shiva,isis, horus , satan ?

@ActualizedDavid 

1. I believe in reincarnation. I have read the studies by Ian Stevenson and the critiques but have not found an argument against that doesnt violate Occams Razor. 

2. No, that would imply that there is an opposite of the All/Source/Braham, which includes all dualities of good and evil. There are evil beings and good beings (relative to a human perspective) and beings all along the spectrum in between, just like people.

3. That enlightenment is not really as difficult as many think. The biggest thing that holds people back is their fear of letting the ego die and fully acknowledging what that means.

4. I had been obsessed with the nature of consciousness for sometime so I sought out some DMT to investigate my consciousness. I met my spirit guide and my life was radically changed forever in one night. That was 3.5 years ago and ive mediated every day since. I spent 1.5 years heavily studying and practicing buddhism. Then I studied and practiced yoga. I finally started studying the energetic traditions about a year ago and found my way to the Occult.

5. I was raised in a Christian cult. It turned me off but I had felt spirituality enough that I knew there was "something" out there. It was a long search to get where I am now (Im almost 50).

6. Yes, I believe so although Satan is not what Christians claim he is. He is a dark spirit that surprisingly works towards his devotees eventual evolution to the light. This was a surprise to me considering my Christian background. Satan attracts people that get off on darkness and thats not my thing however.

@Aaron p Yes, it is interesting but its also interesting to ponder what matter is. If you go far enough down, matter is not made of anything material.

I suspect that consciousness "pools" together in individuated packets of consciousness similar to the way hydrogen pools together through gravity and finally ignites to form a star.

6. As you see here https://youtu.be/HrVXMgLyrBI who really was Jesus ? Just another enlighten guy ?

7. https://youtu.be/jZwsOiLyUv0 sometimes at night i lisen to this reiki. And sometimess i start feeling my body with joy and love , all the lights around me are brighter , i fell some kind of extazy , some helling .time stops in a way, I look at my hands and or in the mirror and i fell my body vibrating with joy and love.   Is that an Angle that is doing that ?

8. What's wrong with cults ? I mean in the last year i was kinda asked to join 4 cults . Adventist Christianity, Freemasons, one grup that study witchcraft , and one grup that study some kind of satanism. But to be honest i do not know what's so wrong about them . I'm alone and i feel like talking with people about this stuff , and every time that someone asked me to join i got afraid and i said no. What no join a cult ? 

Thank you Matt !!

 

 

@ActualizedDavid

1. I believe we were meant to come to this incarnation to evolve spiritually. Careers, while necessary, are irrelevant to our real purpose.

2. One mode of evolution of consciousness.

3. The people are weak and vulnerable or they allow dark spirits to possess them. Internally strong people with guiding values of love and beauty dont get possessed.

4. The occult is a non-dual tradition that works with energy. Most eastern traditions tend to claim that their particular path is the best and only path. They all have their own form of dogma BUT they all have something valuable to contribute. The other consideration is gurus arent going to be excited about telling their devotees how to get powers they themselves dont have. Many gurus maintain a strict relationship of superiority with their devotees as a method of control. 

5. Its not possible to sell our soul for eternity but some people do make deals for this particular incarnation with spirits, dark or otherwise. They may think the "deal" is forever but that is a lack of understanding.

6. Yes, he was just another enlightened mystic. Kabbalists generally accept that Jesus was one of them, and most likely was. Kabbalists have powerful magic which would explain the miracles. 

7. I heard a Reiki master say once that the most powerful force in healing is gratitude. I use the power of gratitude for purification and raising vibration so I can work with other energies. I have a post on this site about Building Inner Strength - Occult style that I would highly recommend making a regular part of ones practice. It fills one with gratitude and then transforms that gratitude into high vibrational inner strength.

8. The problem with cults is not the belief - most religions have ridiculous beliefs. The problem is the ego of the leader. Never abdicate your authority as the master of your soul and destiny. If anyone tries to control you, leave and dont look back. Regarding the groups in general, some are higher vibrational than others. Satanists, for example, are low vibration because they embrace low vibration energies and mostly ignore higher vibration energies. It can be difficult to find any group that strikes a healthy balance between love and strength/power, which is why I stay away from spiritual groups.

   For example, a nexus is considered a place of power where spirits gather. If you were doing say a cursing ritual in the middle of a graveyard. Apparently the graveyard is considered a location of power of some kind to draw those spirits in.

   Another example is veneration worship were your alter is considered a location of power for whatever you're worshipping. The area you're making sacred is considered a nexus.

   I've heard this term nexus used by other occultists when they're refering to a powerful location that overtime spirits gather often. A nexus is also formed naturally, supernaturally or artificially.

   For example of an artificially created nexus is like a war zone were lots of people died, centuries later after real estate development, houses were created. Then a few of those houses experience Poltergeists.

   What are your thoughts on this?

@Jj13 If you google it, there is some commentary on it but not much. I think its much more widespread than one would think by looking at the internet.

It definitely turns the volume up on magick. I do it regularly but I also take my purification seriously and think carefully about what I do with magick and why. At minimum, I would approach with caution

[Mulky]

@Matt8800 , I have been using your practice and it has been helping.  I just need a couple small pointers.  How should I look upon this parasitic phenomenon, what is the most  useful/honest/empowering way of looking at it.  It seems feeling a sense of resistance or anything like that is not the way to go, and if i look at it as some nasty thing that I hate, it just seems to fuel it.  The gratitude and breathing worked like a charm, the visualization doesn't need to be purposely done for me as the golden inner light thing is just already happening when I go into deep breathing.   I have put a lot into the in breath in my life, and have a good deep sense of it, but my out breath I always just let fall out.  I have never been able to feel or experience much with breathing out bad energy/tension.  Any tips on that would also be appreciated.

One other small tidbit.  When I can sense someone is wasting my time/life/attention, ie being an energy vampire, I get highly annoyed.  I know thats what their doing, wasting both of our times, but I also know they don't consiously know it.  Since we last spoke, I have been more vigilante about how this weird chaotic energy is in people just trying to waste everyones time.  I catch people trying to uncenter me, distract me, it's way less than before, but still it does happen.  How should I look upon people in this situation, I feel the annoyance is probably not the way to go, I try to be more stern in my boundaries but something is feeling half-arsed in my approach in this reguard.  Thanks

@mulky Think of yourself as a dangerous, cold hearted predator that takes pleasure in devouring your prey. The parasitic entities are the prey. 

First, call on your guardian angel to guard over you. Picture it as a dangerous looking, intimidating being that is just itching to rip apart any entity that tries to do you any harm. Thank it for guarding you and know you are watched over.

John Kreiter has a book on psychic vampire defense that would probably be good for you. In that book, it teaches a technique where if you see an entity like that, you take on a stance of a dangerous predator that takes pleasure in eating those entities that would mean you harm. This would be something like standing up straight, shoulders back, your feet slightly apart, your jaw set and a steely, cold look in your eyes that says "I DARE you to fuck with me because I will teach you a lesson you will never forget". Visualize a tentacle stretching out from your non-dominant hand (receiving hand) and attaching to the entity. When it attaches, see the entity get filled with fear and alarm and try to get away. You dont let it get away and you hold on to it. As you inhale, visualize yourself pulling all the life force out of this entity in an act of feeding. As you do this, the entity starts screaming in pain while you see it start withering away as the energy is drained out of it. After this, see yourself standing over it with a cold smirk on your face feeling satisfied with yourself. Allow yourself to feel all these feelings vividly. Allow yourself to fully feel feelings that you would normally never allow yourself to feel because they almost feel dangerous and dark. Realize that YOU are the predator now. Embrace those feelings. Feel the life force surging through your body that you have forcefully taken for yourself.

Learning how to balance love and light with this "powerful and dangerous" aspect within yourself is an important part of the path. If you feel resistance to this thinking that it is dark, think carefully as to why and assume that everything you have believed up to this point might be false. If you are going to be powerful, that also means you can be dangerous to those that mean you harm and you are going to have to learn to embrace that.

Those entities definitely do not like that if done with power. They wont want anything to do with you after a few times of that. There are much easier and less painful lunches for them out there and they will find that their old methods no longer work with you. Think about how this approach and those feelings are different than how the old you would handle it.

Regarding people that try to take your energy, maybe you need less friends and/or new friends. Politely but firmly communicate your boundaries and if people wont respect that, actively avoid them. If you find yourself getting lonely, build a relationship with your guardian angel/spirit guide (that works surprisingly well for loneliness). Spend time with people that want to learn and grow also. Find some people that have the same weaknesses that you had, that also want to grow and change, and gently show them how you found strength according to their ability and desire to learn. Mentoring others is the best way to learn.

@Matt8800  Have you heard of anyone working with the hindu goddess kali? I got those books you suggested( only halfway through magnus opus and desire so far) added alot of the energy exercises to my yoga/meditation pratices, also started adding in things from the desire trantra book which has really been resonating with me so far, as well as sprinkling in some psychedelics/canabis. Life started getting interesting pretty quick.  I have always loved hindu philosphy/yoga and such but I dont know thing about their whole pantheon of gods, the only two whose names I could've recalled was ganesh and shiva.

I decieded to smoke some strong canabis and then try some energy work after I was feeling pretty comfortable with it but I went into a energy overlord that was vastly more then I was able to store fast enough and totally overwhelmed me somewhere between obliteration and bliss it wasnt just my energy it felt infused with a some other element and I started mentally hearing Kali ma totally out of the blue and I had no clue what the hell it meant but it was a pretty personal and powerful, even afterwards scouring my mind the closest thing I could think of about kali  was rembering it chanted by a cult in a Indiana Jones film as a kid didnt know it was a hindu goddess until I googled it. Was fascinated but didnt think to much about it for a few days but I kept getting flood of little synchronicities.

On the weekend I decided to take some acid up camping in nature on a gorgeous day and shit got crazy. Im not even going to try to talk about that experience except that I came out the other end very devoted to a hindu goddess I barely knew jack anything about. And Ive been fairly obsessed with her since then but life is crackling alive and getting fairly psychedelic just as a baseline with constant synchronicity  so Im not going to question it really. Have you come across anything about her in your research or anyone who works with her? The information from the more mainstream  sources is pretty all over the place. Also curious if you have other good resources along the line of that tantra book you mentioned, I really resonate with that style. But damn you weren't joking about life getting strange, I'm  shell shocked still tbh haha
