  1. I used to make them up ..... general stories , sometimes three a night '' And not one we have heard before '' and even had to construct them around certain things ; '' I want to hear a story with a boy, a dog, a bow and arrow, a rocket ship and ..... ummm ..... watermelon ! '' ''Okay then < thinks ..... > Once there was a boy with a pet dog called .... '' But often they were 'scary stories' - three young boys they were . Loved scary stories ... but their Mum would be ..... ''You do that , and you will be sleeping in their room tonight ... I won't be getting up to comfort them they if get scared in the middle of the night .'' Oh well, ok , it's worth it
  2. Demonically Motivated Self Harm

    What does that even mean though ? here is some context ; if 1 million seconds is close to 11 1/2 days .... how long would 500 billion seconds be ? Near 16 years . Today's 'millionaires' ...... Meh ! .... Ya need at least that much to get yourself a half decent house !
  3. Demonically Motivated Self Harm

    According to the Biblical OT story of the establishment of the Jews in Palestine it is . But only if 'God' ordains it.
  4. Chaos Magic

    Supposedly it is a non traditional system , based on efficacy of results, eclectic , and personalized . Does this not make virtually every modern practicing magician a Chaos magician ? Unless they are some rigidly practicing following by rote some medieval manuscript ... and having the mind set to go along with that . The definition seems to favor Spare yet divorce Crowley ??? He certainly bent the traditions , threw out a lot of stuff he considered 'non - working' or based on false premises ( although experimented with traditional stuff ) , was certainly and his system was certainly eclectic .... widely eclectic. And of course highly personalized ... extremely so .... even to the extent that he wrote about that , encouraged people to develop their own personalized system from varied sources ... to the extent that he threatened them against copying his personalizations , saying it would backfire on them and they might take on his worse qualities if they did such 'imitation ' . Even the staid Goldern Dawn made such innovations . So is Chaos magic really a 'thing' .... or mostly a designation put onto recent magic that is somewhat fashionable and cool ? if it isnt ... what system of modern magick is not Chaos magick ?
  5. Yes-But-Mind vs. Don't-Know-Mind

    even the curdled skin ...... no inari sushi for you ? I LUV it ! Although I have to say I do not approve of non-traditional ingredients in it ..... corn on top ???? Noooooooo and dont make it like a Totoro either !
  6. System like LoneManPai?

    I think he posted a lot of his teachings on this site .... have you found them here ? Also, when searching you might find a discussion about whether he has died or not ..... I cant remember the outcome of that one .
  7. Hello

    Recently I have had a young 'first-step' magical student visit and quiz me about her desire to go along the path of magical development , particularly she wants to cut through the crap and get to the essence ... and do something to set her firmly on her way . After a bit of thought I came up with 'the basic essential practice ' .... which seems to me to be ' 'the oath' (of dedication to such a path) . This is very similar to the above '' I give permission ...... '' I took mine at a very early age and was very 'insistent' about it ; '' I dont care what you do or what happens ..... '' Well .... its been an 'interesting ride ' A technical point ....... you say 'summoning ' ... and you 'saw' But they say .... and the tradition says ..... 'knowledge and conversation ' .... very different things between those two . .... did you take the sword ? I also wanted to ask you about 'Chaos magicians ' .... But I will start a new thread in esoteric section for that .
  8. What ? ... even worse than the Grimm brothers ?
  9. Yes-But-Mind vs. Don't-Know-Mind

    I have to say that my enlightened mind enjoys it when my yes-but ego mind ... all of a sudden , out of the blue, when it can get over itself , declares simply .... ' I dont know ' . The resignation to that is a relief at times ... and even the yes but ego mind needs a holiday now and then . Acceptance then follows resignation .
  10. Yes-But-Mind vs. Don't-Know-Mind

    Well , here is the proof ....... do you like tofu ? I used to make tofu , my GF did bean sprouts , we did a delivery run together . The last drop off point was a small health food store and the woman there always took our left over bean sprouts ... heaps of alfalfa sprouts . I asked if she ate them and she said no, her cat likes them .... not one or two , but a big handful in a bowl ! Imagine puss munching his way through a pile of stringy wet green sprouts https://articles.hepper.com/can-cats-eat-bean-sprouts/ Hmmm ... after this diversion I think I just invoked ... ' dont care mind '
  11. What made YOU laugh today/tonight ?

    Well ... Man was made in the image of God after all
  12. Yes-But-Mind vs. Don't-Know-Mind

    Ahhhhh , but Coby ....... metaphysical experiments ! They have different 'constitutes ' .... just like 'alternative archaeology ' has
  13. The God of Abraham ... and his descendants . A family God that went on to other things ...... and apparently grew really really 'tall' . and the winner is .... Ushiku Daibutsu ! You just won the (world's tallest ) trophy !

    he is probably referencing himself and the 'experiments' he cites , which seem like exercises in visualizations and imagination while imagining himself as something 'other ' than human and the random results thereof as somehow significant , to him but often out of context and not relating to the conversation at hand . But hey ... why miss an opportunity to blow your own trumpet ? .
