    Hermetic Archetypes

    You are giving up too quickly, imo. Understand that I will never give up on love, no matter what happens. I would never be able to explain that but it is true. To know love, I know myself to be without it. I never needed you to be a Christian or have a high opinion of Paul. All that was...

    Hermetic Archetypes

    You and I are from different worlds. The Great work for me includes endless possibilities, one of which is a return to innocence. To seek innocence is to recover something you have lost. To find purity, I know myself to be impure. To find forgiveness, I know myself to be guilty. To be clean, I...

    The Abramelin Operation and faith

    I have talked about intermediaries here before. Generally the closer an intermediary is to this world, the more people get badly done. The lower intermediaries were not always like this, they fell into it. "I am not this, this is not me" is the unspoken cry of these, even while their frenetic...

    Hermetic Archetypes

    It's an honest reply, we need more of that here on interfaith. I get you though. Non-action is only called that because it bypasses certain thinking processes. It could be said it doesn't come through thinking, but through being sensitive to the flow of the Tao. The still small voice in the...

    Hermetic Archetypes

    I have heard of lead into gold before, as a transformative process but I never knew much about homonculi or panaceas, so I had to do a search. This is what scares me a little about the whole thing, and that is that Hermeticism can be seized upon by almost any camp of thought. There are both...

    The Abramelin Operation and faith

    Wow, this is incredible. I don't understand astral travel so I would have to take the whole thing as a dream. The thing that seems to be back resonating with me is that this is a family of bees which need to have their stingers removed. A lot of us come from a dysfunctional family setting but we...

    Hermetic Archetypes

    I think this Hermeticism stuff is going to be more interesting than I thought. I'm hooked. My understanding is limited, I only know that you are supposed to end up with the Philosopher's Stones when it's all said and done.

    The Abramelin Operation and faith

    It appears you already have, but I would encourage you not to make consessions to my ignorance. Just staying with the flow is all that is necessary. Just be yourself is all I'm shooting for here. Old and simple, I like it. Looking forward to more.

    The Abramelin Operation and faith

    I really think that I am out of my league here, perhaps even an intruder to your experience, nevertheless I try to take whatever resonates with me. There is a rithym to this thread which I don't wish to interrupt, but I really feel the need to comment here. Sounds like this bull man will not...

    Does lifelong celibacy reduce or increase life expectancy?

    It's a hot button topic given the horrors that can arise from forced or legislated celibacy (i.e. the priest scandals and so forth).

    The Abramelin Operation and faith

    Absolutely NOT, we don't have to think like that anymore. Most of the limits have already been removed. I will be trying to tether it at times to Job and Genesis and A Dark Song. Due to time constraints I will not be able to keep up with many threads on this list, preferring to focus right here...

    The Abramelin Operation and faith

    The mystery of judgment, yes, I've heard this before. There was a lot of that going around in the book of Job (the Operation's connection to both Genesis and Job have been noted here). In Job there is a battle of spirits taking place behind the scenes and flesh and blood would at times speak of...

    The Abramelin Operation and faith

    You can try if you like? Here in the mansion of the mind we have, at least two flawed people, some demons, a Holy Guardian, one lost one, love, and even sacrifice. If you need it bigger, I can make it a world, or a universe, or all things sensible. Hey now, you can say anything you want and...
