  1. 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 .
  2. What ? ... even worse than the Grimm brothers ?
  3. 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 .

    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 '
  5. What made YOU laugh today/tonight ?

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

    Ahhhhh , but Coby ....... metaphysical experiments ! They have different 'constitutes ' .... just like 'alternative archaeology ' has
  7. 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 ? .

    hence the origin of the Aussie phrase ; ''' It's all good , mate ! '' ... and if you think that is a funny look ..... check this out ;

    '' Someone has to do the work around here .'' ... and we know who that is !
  12. Stranger things

    I get them a fair bit here .... 'Wedgies' * . Whirling high in the sky above the valley floor . But if you go to about 20km away and go to the top of 'Mount' (probably a hill, to you guys ) Killerkrankie , a high point around here , the north face drops off down a steep vertical cliff to nearly the valley floor below ; one can lie on the top of the rock and peer over and look down on the circling eagles . Some fly up level with you, sufing the wind as it is forced up the cliff face . Sometimes a gust will blow them into the cliff and they are so close you can see the fethers fan out , the wings flex... even the muscles under the feathers flex as the do manouvers to avoid smashing into the cliff .... they make noise in the wind as they do this too , sometimes coming so close you can see their eyeball turn and fix on you as their body tracks past .... rather magnificent ! * Australian Wedge Tailed Eagle
