An 'act of imaging' is imagination . yeah .... thats actually what your imagination is . Intentional use of imagery . Thats how 'astral' travel works ; and it isnt just my opinion on that ; '' 5 : .... 2. Let him imagine his own figure (preferably robed in the proper magical garments and armed with the proper magical weapons) as enveloping his physical body, or standing near to and in front of him. 3. Let him then transfer the seat of his consciousness to that imagined figure; so that it may seem to him that he is seeing with its eyes, and hearing with its ears. This will usually be the great difficulty of the operation. 4. Let him then cause that imagined figure to rise in the air to a great height above the earth. 5. Let him then stop and look about him. (It is sometimes difficult to open the eyes.) 6. Probably he will see figures approaching him, or become conscious of a landscape. ....... '' https://hermetic.com/crowley/libers/lib6

Lairg probably doesn't though . Dreams seem connected to many drives of the psyche , including desires .

Choose your mountain wisely then .... ^ ' Firehorse Mountain ' .

That has been my life's plan .... and I have mostly achieved it . I am grateful for the above image , as, due to this thread;s title , I was thinking ' Oh Gawd .... he isnt going to post a picture of that is he ? !

So ..... Chi Dragon does not go to the desert ?

'' In your dreams .... ''

.... sounds like a lot of people you knew wanted to kill you ......

King karma is tricky when he 'distributes karma ' ; He saw how sexually repressed this man was so he put the idea into the captors heads to supply women to him ... hence the balance is restored !

You need to ask yourself that ... very early on you seemed to be asking me, if your perception that I understood it , was right , and I replied yes . But then you kept trying to find holes in what I was saying and then coming up with a lot of strange and unusual and self conflicting responses . I cite the responses others gave you as this just not being my subjective opinion . it seems an ongoing thing with you Mr. Dragon

You say it yourself here ; 10.道生之，11.德畜之。12.長之育之。13.亭之毒之。14.養之覆之。15.生而不有，16.為而不恃，17.長而不宰。18.是謂玄德。10. Tao engenders it,11. Te rears it.12. Grow it and nourish it,13. Let it grow to maturity,14. To foster it and protect it.15. Engenders it but not possess it.16. For it but not restraining it,17. Raise it but not controlling it,18. It was called divine virtue. Line 15 and 17 explain my viewpoint and I take them as advice on how to act .... not advice about non action . line 15-17 also describe actions and the 'way' to act .

I also said that above . It would be prevented by not having that intention .... and this is one of the reasons why I keep explaining this principle ..... all over the place . Do not interfere with another's True Will .

The answer is the same , no matter how you try to re phrase or pose the question . see my answer above .

Yes, it probably does to some . Although I acknowledge the tragedy involved . You can put it down to my personal experience ; observing the many issues , including suicide , that I have seen result from this type of thing . I am pretty callous about suffering as well ; most of it ... that probably comes from past experience working with refugees and ex- torture victims .

of course . We should not interfere with another's True Will , especially a parent, as the child develops , they should be nurtured spiritually as well as physically, emotionally and mentally . Sometimes it is hard for some to follow their True Will , it might mean breaking away from the family , peers , other's expectations , etc .
