Isn't the unconscious the primary way by which things are being manifested ?

I get the part about worrying too much though; I've just begun to realize I've always had this problem and I'm starting to work on it.

@ltp Worrying is the whole problem imo. You are going to create a lot more unconscious problems to yourself and others as a direct result of your worrying. 

Try to be mindful of making wise decisions and let the chips fall where they may. Let go of your attachments to particular outcomes and FLOW with life.

@Water I would speculate that when protective spirits and energies are called on, they turn up the heat on the unwanted spirits until they have to leave. 

Interesting, if someone is just reading passages out of the the Torah/Bible/Quran I wonder if corresponding spirits answer the call. That would really put things into perspective. Although I kinda like the method of sucking the life put of the spirits it almost worked instantly and it still seems to hold.

Is your background Muslim? If so, you might want to look into Sufi protection methods. Sufism has a lot of similarities with the occult. 

It is, there's a lot of interesting stuff here thank you. 

 

I'm currently looking into to sigils and servitor's and to be honest it feels very weird. I know it's mostly from my indoctrination because they REALLY drove the point across of not messing with this kind of stuff. Any suggestions of how to ease into it besides reading? 

 

[student]

Where have you found information about mystics and clairvoyants? I tried to find some for the "mystics" category but to no avail. Do you have some resources?

[Fede83]

Hey Matt congrats for ur time and beatiful work ur doing here.

 

i’m very interested on getting into occult, I do need the basic books to start my journey over any suggestion?

[tenta]

Do you have any evidence of paranormal?

@Water Indoctrination is powerful. As social creatures, we want to obey the unconscious collective. Its important to break free so that one can determine their own path without influence from attempts at societal control and manipulation. 

Explore: why does it feel weird? why is it "bad"? Why would anyone believe the stories that something bad will happen if they disobey another's rules?

@student I found it buried in some old Theosophy books and I think I stumbled across it somewhere else. I instantly saw the truth in it though.

@tenta There are some things that are too crazy (itll just make me sound nuts) or too personal to share.

I can share one recent thing that happened though:

Ive had sleeping issues at night and energy issues during the day for as long as I can remember. Ive tried everything over the years but thought I would try a different approach. I gave some offerings to healing spirits, called them in and asked them to disclose to me what my problem was so that I could try to fix it. Im not able to see and hear spirits much but my significant other is a very gifted clairvoyant. When I ask spirits questions, I tell them that if I cant hear them, to go tell my significant other and she will tell me. I dont tell her that a message might be coming her way because I dont want to prompt her. She was totally unaware that I had contacted the healing spirits.
The next day, I simply mentioned that I need to figure out my sleeping issues. She suddenly said that she was receiving a message that there was a problem with my hypothalamus and that I needed to research it. When I looked it up, I found that it is a part of the brain that is responsible for telling our bodies to sleep at night and produce energy during the day.
I found that Western medicine is ineffective with treating hypothalamic dysfunction but there is strong evidence that traditional Chinese medicine is extremely effective. I started going to the Chinese doctor this week and am very optimistic about it.

Or maybe she just knew that you had these 2 problems

@tenta I dont claim to know what happened but the only times she has said she receives messages is when I send spirits to give a message to her. We spend a lot of time together and that is something that rarely happens.

Coincidence? Maybe. Ive had many WTF?!?! moments since getting into the occult. Its like flipping a coin and getting it to come up heads 1000 times in a row. Its possible it was just chance but really fucking weird.

Im a skeptic by nature. Before getting into the occult I would have said my claims where full of shit. I dont know what to think about it but my position is to act as if there is something real to it, practice the occult and keep observing what happens. One thing I can tell you is that, whatever is happening, it keeps getting more intense and more weird the longer I engage in occult practices. Eventually I have to consider something real is happening that I dont understand.

I think people saying they dont believe me is a reasonable response.

I did, sorry

The two books I wish I would have started with are the Sorcerers Secrets by Jason Miller and Six Ways by Aiden Watcher. I would prioritize meditation and offererings to build relationships with spirits that you can call on later. My experience is that they start to watch over you and help when asked.

[ltp]

Why are magickal spells/rituals so specific ? I mean why would certain precise ingredients and words be needed to ensure the success of a spell ? Why isn't the force of will sufficient ? Does it have something to do with ingredients/words being symbols in the mind of the practitioner, thus helping him to believe in his magick more, thus rendering it more effective ? As opposed to the ingredients/words having an objective, inherent power ?

@ltp There's a lot of opinions on this but I believe that the specifics are symbols and those symbols are infused with your intention and psychic energy. Those symbols can be a way to connect to specific energetic currents. Ive heard some occultists that I respect a lot say that if something is slightly changed in a ritual, than the effect can be slightly changed - not necessarily bad, just different. 

I dont know very much why or how the mechanics of magick works but my experience is that you can definitely influence objective reality with it.

What's your opinion on backwards causation ? Is it possible to act causally upon the past by performing certain kinds of advanced magick in the present ?

 

@Matt8800

Are all the gods of all religions that ever existed real ? What is their ontological status ?

@Matt8800

@ltp In the spirit world, time does not exist. One of the things that people who have near death experiences confirm that they experience no time. Because there is no time, there is no difference in accessing the past, present or future. 

I have heard experienced occultists say that current magick can affect the past. I have had experiences which makes me lean towards this direction.

@Matt8800

@ltp Great question. Many people have different theories. 

One thing you have to define is what is "real"? Thats a deep rabbit hole if you pick it apart. Consciousness does not fit the technical definition of "real" and everything we experience happens in consciousness. 

When people experience manifestations of gods and demons, are the gods and demons believed in because they are real or are they real because they are believed in? Materialists think the answer is obvious but it is an assumption on a fragile foundation if scrutinized enough.

Its common knowledge that one can pretty easily create artificial spirits by interacting with them AS IF they are real and infusing psychic energy into them. After awhile, these created spirits can start interacting with the physical world by moving stuff, making themselves visible, etc. (I have made artificial spirits) Tibetan Tulpas are a good example. Another example is when children create imaginary friends to survive trauma and then those spirits gain power over time and can manifest in powerful and malicious ways. I have heard of some poorly behaving artificial spirits attacking people, scratching them, choking them, throwing things, etc. Artificial spirits are like children - raise them right or there might be issues.

Does Shiva manifest his power because millions (or billions) of hindus have worshiped him, pouring massive amounts of psychic energy into his essence, or do they worship him because he has manifested his power?

When you consider there is no such thing as linear time in the spirit world, the idea of cause and effect gets a lot more complicated. Cause and effect, as we understand it, requires the existence of time.

@herghly I dont know a ton about Cha'an but I would say out of this list, Daoism. Qi-gung is also very powerful.

Gnosticism doesnt necessarily focus on paranormal abilities but it can certainly include it.

I would probably put Tibetan Tantric Buddhism and Indian Tantra at the top of the list. 

Any tradition where a guru is followed is probably at the bottom of the list simply because most gurus dont want to teach their devotees to be as powerful as they are, going so far to tell them they are not to develop the powers they have developed. Guru worship is the enemy of evolution because it locks someone into a relationship of "less than" and inferiority.

The occult combines some of its own unique strengths with techniques from many other traditions. The problem with the occult just by itself is that it generally doesnt seem to put a lot of emphasis on meditation in general but talented and advanced occultists will say that meditation is their most important practice to unlock their True Self and abilities. Because of the occults fluidity of incorporating the best of many traditions, it can be the most well-rounded if Eastern practices are incorporated. With the correct mix of practices, an occult foundation can give the most bang for ones investment into it. 

Meditation is key. A chaotic mind will never develop much power.
