I want to talk about MEs a little more. This is really heartbreaking as I find it next to impossible to give up on anyone, no matter how corruptive they have become. One has to wonder where the guardians of these gifted ones were, to allow such a thing to occur. Children should never be used...

Glad you found a place where your particular skillset can be appreciated. I was in group therapy one time, but the members were doing questionable things and the therapist (a psychologist) hated my guts. Long story short, I had to pull the plug. Old books can make you sneeze but what's inside...

Sorry, I misunderstood. Simplicity is often the best coerse however rather than being booked, so to speak. :) Not at all. Sometimes we are like ships in the night, occasionally bumping into one another but never really seeing one another. It's sad really. Neither. It was her love for her...

Sorry. :( LaVey sounds familiar but I'm afraid I don't know him.

Heavens no. The last thing in the world I would want here is to force needless artificial and bland structure on a good thing. Just let it develop naturally, it's doing fine. Sometimes things can be ruined when we try to hang onto them too tightly. I understand you are a stickler for rules, and...

Understood, but remember I have no formal training and don't hold out much hope of getting any here. I suppose this is a disadvantage, but it doesn't feel that way. Formal training is fine but it can also have the unwanted side effect of killing all that is wild and free in us. Like the Native...

Thank you very much for your reply. Your words seem to have a calming effect on me which I can't quite explain. I seek peace, and tend to gravitate to those things or people who bring it to me. A peace which passes understanding would best describe it. I like your take on the imaginary, as this...

Thank you for your detailed response. I picked out this part as it seems to resonate with me somehow. I'm sorry I have such a difficult time understanding, but I think this is part of the price of knowing nothing. Sort of like the life of a hermit, one can't fathom the loneliness of such a thing...

Sure, trial and error vs. finished product. In time vs. out of time. Discernment only improves in time. Hmm, I might have to get a second opinion on that. ;) Sometimes things are not as complicated as they seem. That's why I like knowing nothing and don't trust everything my physical senses...

You've given me cause for relief twice in as many days, thank you. Now "astral" is a word that would have many from my old camp asking you where you wanted your new door, but I take it to mean outside the physicality? Many who are not occult believe that we have souls, or spirits, or at least a...

Namaste, I am honored. Freely given. Perhaps it's just a matter of calling and being on slightly different paths. I struggled early on with physical implements. As a young Christian in a small fundamentalist church I had an aversion to what they called "The Lord's Supper" because it seemed...

Oh, I suspect a clairvoyant could be dangerous at any age, but noted. I think I agree with you according to my limited understanding of your experience when you say "select an allowed mind". The only trouble I see with that is that some people perceive themselves to have more allowed minds than...

Exactly. We are not as different as we think. The words are not as important as the power. The nature of the power is what divides darkness and light, evil and good. I think this is a hard lesson. Discernment comes only to those who are of full age for a reason. I'll tease it a little bit. I...

I've got it covered then. This is very encouraging. I'm running a little short on time myself this morning but hope to continue later.

This sort of leads me to another question, and that is can the Operation take place solely within a person's psyche without the physical props. Jung has been mentioned and I think it was he that believed our psyches were populated by arch types. In that scenario, Sophia, Solomon, the damned, and...

Good for you. I find myself somewhat envious of your erudition and experience. I was called to the mysteries through Christianity but now find myself a perennial outsider to all camps. I believe I was shown that this is my calling and that I should therefor be the best outsider I can be, with no...

You must! You owe it to yourself. :) It does contain a sucker punch of sorts, but in the most delightful and non-malignant way you could imagine. I am pretty confident that you would like it. Then maybe we could discuss it further. Well, sometimes I like to entertain the illusion that I am an...

This is an attempt by me to better understand the need for "the abramelin operation", as seen in the movie A Dark Song. I have zero experience of magick and this movie was my introduction to it. Because of the way the movie ended I think a few with Christian backgrounds might find it palatable...
