@dvdas

I think Qi-Gong is a very effective way for telekinesis. Qi-gong is a pretty intensive practice. I was told by a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner that it takes about an hour a day to build up any kind of proficiency.

@Matt8800 in a post of yours, you mentioned that love and beauty is very intimately tied to awakening. can you expand on that? i've heard about love but what's beauty here? what qualifies as beauty? is it purity? i mean, what is this beauty? (and love too?)

also, is my question naive?

@Vaishnavi No, its a great question. Love and beauty CAN be tied to awakening but there are some enlightened people that have a very dry, cold experience of enlightenment. This is common with Zen Buddhism in particular. Ive heard of some of those teachers talk dismissively about experience and love. Without experience, there is no beauty. Awakening without love and beauty is an incomplete awakening in my opinion. I do see some value in this approach in the beginning because the neediness of the ego can attach to love and beauty in an unhealthy way. It can speed up an awakening (although can be more difficult) but one should shift gears as soon as they achieve it imo.

What I mean by beauty is the intentionally cultivated ABILITY to perceive the beauty that is already there. Before my awakening, I could go for a walk and did not experience the extreme beauty that was already all around me. After my awakening, I felt like I was in a daze when I would go for a walk....totally overwhelmed by the beauty. The beauty of a sunrise, the flowers, the trees. The beauty of a kiss and physical intimacy with someone you love. The beauty that is in the taste of great food, the beauty of music etc, etc. All the small beauties that can become big beauties and can fill our lives and make them rich. Cultivate the ability to really feel the beauty. This is a central teaching in Tantra.

When I talk about love, I dont mean the feeling. Drugs can create the feeling. I mean a high vibrational love that comes from a place of chosen action regardless of feelings. As someone that has a bit of autism, I dont feel it like some people but I can master living it and showing it to others. 

Beauty fuels love and love fuels beauty. They both fuel inspiration, which fuels evolution. No love and beauty, no inspiration, which leads to stagnation. Thats usually when depression and discouragement set in. 

We can create love and beauty in ourselves as a matter of our will if we know how.

Something to think about - If this was your last day alive, would you express love differently? If it was your last sunrise/sunset, would you feel it differently? Live in that place.

@Matt8800 Do you know a good way to attract a partner/relationship with energy work or occult methods? For example I've read visualizing green energy around you which is related to venus helps in attracting affection.

@AwakenedSoul444 Yes, there are tons of ways. The best and easiest ways are in hoodoo or witchcraft imo. If you google it, you can find people giving some pretty crazy stories about how well they worked. There are a bunch on reddit. Usually people that dont think these spells work are people that have never done them. The more people do these kinds of spells, the more convinced they are that they work.

Some spells will bind specific people to you and cause them to feel emotions they wouldnt normally feel. I would avoid this because if there is no real chemistry, it doesnt last. Ive also heard of people casting spells and then deciding later they dont want the person and the other person is turned into a stalker. What I would do is create some kind of talisman to create situations where you would bump into people that fit specific criteria that you feel would have some kind of chemistry.

I would google "hoodoo love spells" and witchcraft love spells". I would avoid any spell that calls on the help of wrathful spirits to help if you are not familiar with working with spirits. Most love spells do not involve wrathful spirits.

I havent done this kind of spellwork but I have heard many times to think carefully about what exactly you want because you sometimes get exactly what you asked for but not really what you wanted.

@Esoteric Also, Uncle Setnakte's Essential Guide to the LHP is a great book. There might be a pdf online.

The ritual I am referring to is the bornless rite and another one I cant remember the name of right now. Jason Miller has them in his book Strategic Sorcery (must have book imo)

@Matt8800 Thanks. I read Flower's book, was a nice read. Might check Setnakte's as well. To me it seems like there is quite a difference on what is considered LHP in Shakta-Shaiva Tantra, like the Kaula and Trika schools, and what the west took and put under the LHP umbrella. If you are a tantric practitioner, to me, it is a no-brainer that the LHP is what is clearly the most healthy path. To not conform, the healthy view on sexuality, the feminine etc. That is also clear historically if you look at India, that the healthiest most prosperous societies were clearly left streaming and Goddess worshipping.

However when it comes to the west and the LHP, and the major difference, is the obsession to not conform even to nature it seems. The will to continue as an individuated self that refuses to merge into the whole. To just settle at blissful communion with the Divine, hoping your individuality will go on eternally. To me it seems like a red flag and a trap.

Crowley is a really confusing figure, isn't he? On the one hand he seems like a very intelligent man that has made a huge impact on the occult in modern times. And not just as a shocking figure, but as a well respected contributor that is praised by a lot of todays big names in the occult. On the other hand he seemed really troubled and like a huge egomaniac that wanted to boast about his abilities.. I like to view the occult as a F1 race car. You have a powerful beast under you, and with it you have the chance to get where you want, and really fast, but can you handle the machine? Will it get to your head? Seems like Crowley crashed his real bad.

[Highest]

Yeah, dark entities are real. Paranormal abilities are real. All those experiences which sounds lunatic and impossible to most, they are real. 

I have no question. Just wanted to verify this from my own personal direct experience. 

I'm too afraid to ask you bro.

@Esoteric Yeah, I agree that the West's LHP goes a bit far but the RHP does also. I wouldnt throw the baby out with the bathwater. I think the answer is the middle but there needs to be an understanding of the extremes to know where the middle is. I agree with your assessment about Tantra being a balanced LHP but keep in mind that most Tantric schools believe in the eternal Atman.

Regarding eternal individuation, how do you know that "you" will ever merge and not be individuated? At minimum, near death experiences seem to indicate that subjective experience continues after the body dies. If "you" dont dissolve into nothing right after physical death, when would you dissolve into nothing? Why would you think that and what do you base that on? If you investigate this, you'll find it is just unsubstantiated sectarian dogma that contradicts Ian Stevenson's studies on reincarnation and studies on NDEs. Many people discover the truth of non-duality and forget that it doesnt mean that duality does not exist in consciousness, and consciousness is eternal.

I see eternal evolution like dividing distance in half an infinite amount of times - you keep getting closer and closer to merging with the ALL but not quite there. We cannot say that is "bad" unless we fully understood it. The real importance of having the correct belief is that it affects how you choose to live your life. Someone that believes they came to this life to learn and grow in ways that will affect them for eternity is going to live a very different life than someone that believes they will die and dissolve into nothing.

I also agree with your assessment on Crowley. I thought he was an egomaniac that did not resonate with my values. I was never a fan.

@Matt8800 I don't know, I have no idea. But an explanation could be that you continue to reincarnate because of the desire to experience. And as individuated consciousness you continue to do this until you exhaust yourself completely till there is no other desire left but to merge with the infinite.

Aiit. How did you acquire these paranormal abilities? 

And all this, how is it related to awakening and being awoke? 

You see, in the old days, I was in some radical state of consciousness. I could sometimes read others thoughts, birds and bees would communicate directly with me in way which I never the less understood, and I could both take in energy from pretty much everything inside my own body which in that time became like an system of pure energy. 

But I was still not awoke, far far away from it. Altough in the end, I have no doubt that I meet and saw God several times, I was still immersed in the sense of ego, more so than now. And for some reason, I never died altough I had several OBE and alot of other crazy shit.

@Highest Ive had a few strange experiences all my life, like reading others thoughts, had a weird experience twice when I was 19 where I woke up and saw a bright light while having a very real feeling of floating above the bed.

I had a profound awakening close to 4 years ago when I tried some DMT. I spent several years studying and practicing Buddhism and Vedanta. Those systems are best for awakening. 

Then I started becoming interested in traditions that work with energy and was led to the occult. I dont have clairvoyant abilities like my fiance does but my abilities to sense energy and communicate with spirits has slowly gotten better.

Nice bro. You are gifted ??

[Highest]

@Matt8800 Since you can communicate with spirits, do you think one day you could somehow reach God and in some way have a communication with it? Go for the highest bro. 

I remember quite vividly when I meet God, it came to me as an Omnipotent and All-loving force of energy. I remember I was too afraid to even look at it, I looked once since I feelt I was allowed to and I remember seeing powerful blue and white energy. 

After that, I remember asking this energy "Are you all-knowing" and somehow which I can't explain how, I got an instant answer which was "Yes". 

Then I, with my face turned away from the Supreme, got bombarded with an attack of love which literally moved my body, it was just one smooth movement of energy, with pure love and understanding. I just cried instantly. Cried and cried.

@Matt8800 I also faced or rather was possesed by a very dark entity, it's form was dark and I remember seeing that. I can tell you the whole story in pm if you want to of how it first came and when it showed itself absolutely, and how God came to the aid as this powerful Omnipotent energy once again. 

Crazy shit. I don't know what kind of state I was in, but I experienced a lot of crazy and seemingly impossible things. In this regard, we may have a lot in common ?

I believe fully and absolutely in everything you say bro, cuz I know this stuff is undeniably real.

@Matt8800  @Matt8800 Actuallly I will create a topic on this tommorow since I have good time then so you and everyone can read it, believe me or disbelieve me. Just putting this in words will be difficult, but I will try to be as direct and accurate as I can. This was the peak of my state of consciousness, the most ultimate and terryfing thing I have experienced in my entire life.

@Highest God can manifest in any form but in reality "it" is the All/the One. Spirits, and even gods and goddesses, are still in duality. God is beyond duality and cannot be comprehended.

Communication with spirits are to build productive relationships. Its not an either/or....just like communicating with the All doesnt preclude us from communicating with other humans.

With that said, I have had powerful interactions with the All.

@Highest Some people believe that many of the dark spirits that harass people are spirits that are created by their own shadows or past trauma. Other people believe they are separate spirits that latch on to some people through shadows or trauma. Like many spiritual truths, it may be paradoxical - they are both somewhat true.

I know a guy that was sexually assaulted as a child and now he sees a dark, monstrous spirit hanging over him. Unfortunately, he has fear of confronting it, which just strengthens it. There can be lots of reasons for having these spirits cling to you but it is our job to figure out how to get rid of them sometime in our lifetime. Thats good that you were able to get rid of yours.

Indeed, God is none other than The All/The One. What did you learn from these interactions? What did it tell you? 

And yeah, I would say that dark entities are your own creation from past trauma etc. Some can of course be just others creations, like in dark magic. There are a lot of dark magic practioners. People who wants someone killed or simply to suffer, use to go to these kinds of practioners. 

Prophet Mohammad used to recite this everyday and told his followed to do the same, to protect oneself from all kinds of evil, including supernatural ones: "Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of day break. From the evil of that which He created. And from the evil of darkness when it settles. And from the evil of an envier when he envies." 

I'm not Muslim but this is interesting, since I believe Mohammed himself had some powerful paranormal abilities where in others eyes he could perform seemingly impossible things aka miracles, which explains why he was so succesful as a supposed prophet.

@Highest "Miracles" is what religions call it when their leaders do magick. Its usually much later the religion bans magical practices for control reasons. The Christian church didnt ban magic until the 1500s. Jesus even makes reference of using a head demon (Beleezabub) to cast out less powerful, lower demons ("demon" simply means spirit - does not mean good or bad).

The more interactions I have with the all, the more I realize that it is completely beyond our understanding.
