@Matt8800 , have you been in homes which are imbued with positive energies? I would very much like to transform my home into one such - a positive space with healing, peaceful qualities, one which attracts angelic energies. I could try to make that happen by visualising, inviting angels in or using sigil magic to make it so. 

Could I accomplish this? Any suggestions as to what may be required? 

@astrokeen Yes, absolutely. Conversely, I have been in buildings with very negative and dark energies. 

First I would cleanse the house with sage. Since you have a relationship with archangel Michael, I would then ask him to fill your house with his protective energy and thank him for doing so. There are other things you could do like make a sigil with his angelic seal in it that represents him protecting your house.

Then, the house will mirror your energy. If you keep your energy at a consistent high vibration, your house will reflect that. If you feel your vibration drop, summon feelings of gratitude and build on its intensity through breathing in the light from above that represents gratitude with the divine as the source. I would start with a few minutes of concentration meditation first though to clear out the junk that lingers and concentrate your consciousness (I do this before any working).

Gratitude is extremely powerful to work with. Also, if you combine the energy of gratitude with healing, it will take your healing up to a new level.

I agree, anyway what works works if it works there it can probably also be applied to aid a spiritual path.  I gave up on even learning all the various distinctions after a second, it seems like the common factor so far is working like a more scientific concentrated version of the law of attraction, but it makes most general magick pretty simple actually, the details tune things a little but dont seem as important as powerful intention and powerful emotion. which works better when single minded in higher vibrational states which is why it seems like a natural compliment to a yogic path. 

You mind elaborating on sigil magick a little bit? Is it basically storing intention in a physical item or is that called something else? Im thinking of trying that anyway, do certain materials work better then others, if the details even matter much?

@enderx7 There is a ton of info out there on sigils. I wouldnt make it too complicated. While people have a lot of different methods, I kind of think they all work. Google "sigil shoaling". I love that idea and havent seen it much from too many people.

I would recommend Six Ways by Aiden Wachter. He has some good info about it and tons of other valuable info. I also love Jason Miller's books.

Thank you, Matt. This is great advice.

What does the occult think of sexual energy, how is it connected?

@Esoteric I would go with what Jason said. Hes the man imo. Also, Aiden Wachter has some good things to say about something he calls sigil "shoaling" on his blog that I like. I think he got that from the guy that does Rune Soup. If you google "sigil shoaling", you'll find some great info.

I dont do much divination. Also, the more Ive gotten into it, the less I am concerned about "black magick". I think Kraig's perspective is a little too restrictive. I believe it is a false dicotomy to demarcate between "white" and "black". If one acts from a place of high vibrational values, they will keep on the path of light. Personally, I have done "black magick" as a way of getting an adversarial person to stop what they were doing but I put a lot of thought into it first. For example, many people here would say they would never punch someone in the face but they might reconsider if it meant saving someone else from serious harm from an attacker. 

Thank you

@Scholar Sexual energy is used in magic in many magical traditions across the world. It is used in Tantra, Tibetan Buddhist sorcery, Thai magic, etc, etc. The reason why is, if controlled, can generate massive amounts of psychic energy that can than be used and directed to workings based on your intention. It can add huge amounts of power to magick. This magick can be used for inner transformation, enlightenment/awakening or manifesting one's will in the physical realm. Sex, in this context, is considered sacred and holy.

Jason Miller wrote a great book on Sex and Sorcery that is mostly based on Tantra and Tibetan Buddhist sorcery. The term "occult" includes any methods to influence possible realities according to one's intention so doesnt necessarily just refer to Western practices.

@Matt8800 you mentioned at one point I believe how one time you were energizing an object and how it started moving and/or vibrating. Do you think that if someone was in that room with you they would’ve noticed that too?

@kieranperez I told my fiance and she was curious about it. She wanted to try it during one of our sessions and it did it for her also. I havent seen it do that since but havent really put much effort into trying.

Im not confident that I could make it do that at will....at least not at this time.

what do you think about Hollywood and about their esoteric content? Spirit cooking, illuminati, freemason, witchcraft. Are they promoting free thought or a satanist agenda?

@Danioover9000 Ive done it years ago but havent in a long time. Ive had some pretty severe insomnia issues my whole life so my sleep and dreams is hard to get a handle on.

@ShugendoRa What esoteric content are you referring to? Ive heard of people claim that hollywood people are into the occult and paint these pictures of actors doing strange things like eating people, killing babies, etc. Thats nonesense imo spread by Christians that are terrified of the occult. 

The reason why they are terrified is because they have been told by the church that occultists are evil. This started hundreds of years ago when Christians started murdering, burning and torturing in very gruesome ways people that were into the occult. The only way that the church could get people to go along with such horrific and cruel actions is by removing natural empathy by making outrageous claims. The claims were simply an attempt to ensure that everyone fell under church control.

Im a big fan of witchcraft. Witchcraft isnt evil, its a tool. Its an effective way of influencing reality according to your will. If you have a hammer, you can hit someone on the head or you can build a house for someone (or yourself) that needs shelter.

Ive never heard of spirit cooking. I googled it and couldnt find any occultist commenting on it whatsoever. The only thing I could find is Christian conspiracy theorists talking about it. My impression is that it is something Christians invented to raise hysteria. I was indoctrinated with Christianity so I remember well how nuts they got about the occult. I remember as a child asking why the occult was "bad" and the only thing they could say is that they worship satan. It is an extremely small percentage of occultists that are satanists. The biggest danger satanists pose is to themselves. Embracing negative energy when delving into the spirit world is just going to bring problems....some very serious.

The illuminati and freemasons are occult groups that form for various reasons. While the occult does give people power, the illuminati and freemasons dont have any more occult powers than other occultists. While I might not agree with their overall motives and purposes, they dont have nearly the nefarious influence that paranoid Christians would think.

Dont believe the hype

This is why all energy working traditions use visualization. The breath builds the power through gathering chi. You infuse the energy with your intent. You release the intention charged energy onto the astral realm with your visualization. If the energy is strong enough and is infused with the right intention, it effects physical reality due to correspondences resolving between the realms.

 

Could you talk more about this? Thanks

@ewerson18 Wow, that is a very complex subject that whole books have been written about. I would recommend learning the basics first of building energy and working with it. The best beginner book in that regard imo is Magnus Opus by John Kreiter.

This is one of those things that there is no end to the level of mastery one can develop.

I apologize if this has been discussed already but what would you recommend for books on the basics mainly energy healing. Also is it possible to astral project without even being aware of one’s ability to do it? I feel as though there are some experiences I’ve had that went beyond reason in the past, and after my last shroom trip, energy healing specifically with the touch but maybe more, seems to be something I’m drawn to

@DrewNows I would recommend Magnus Opus by John Kreiter just as a way to start being able to work with energy. When healing, infuse the energy with the energy of gratitude and it will take your abilities to the next level. I learned that trick with using gratitude with healing from a Reiki master and it definitely works.

Regarding astral travel, many people say that we all do it when we dream but are just unaware or we dont remember.
