  1. My Experience With Black Magic

    Lala Nila replied to Nuralshamal's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion

    Yeah, no worries, I'm not easily offended at all. I don't run with the woke crowd or ideologies at all. There are undoubtable differences in race; morphology-skeletal, cranial structures, femur length, auras and spiritual adeptness, etc. Some races are better at somethings than others, it's an uncomfortable truth that is often used as a tool to discredit or give credit to various actions or personality traits. But, yeah..we are all of the creator, each of us has something special to add to the cake- and we all have our own struggles as well. I do believe in oversoul dynamics as well. My point was one more so of egregores and how they can function, specifically the christian god (and yes, my use of a lower case is intentional) and how political egregores also serve as inhibitors to access spiritual streams and development as well. I think the modern Germanic peoples are a very good example of this. Energy flows where intention goes. in your case with the black magic, I think it would have better (cheaper?) to use Middle Eastern based magic against the curse. Your wife, belonging to that particular oversoul and the magick being thrown at her would have been disabled with greater ease. The access points being easier to infiltrate; the practitioner would have been able to recognize and disable exactly what was happening, likely saving you thousands of $$$. Voodoo would have also been beneficial. I understand the concept behind fighting fire with water, but also I understand the concept of fighting fire by smothering- by a thick blanket - or with a greater more fantastical flame taken from the same fire pit. great discussion! I've enjoyed this thread quite a bit to be honest, kept me on my toes. lol

  2. My Experience With Black Magic

    speaking of dreams, I had a very interesting one last night involving an ancient feline type creature. It was wild in temperament, had pointy ears that curved inward and short grey fur. The wild feline freaked my domesticated cats out in the dream. Maybe Bastet related, I was researching some Egyptian rites yesterday.

    Lala Nila replied to Nuralshamal's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion

    Hmmm, interesting theory, but I think it’s less related to skin colour and more related to modernization, industrialization, societal structures, politics and religious colonization (ie. Christianity). North Europeans had deep pagan and shamanistic roots prior to being forcibly colonized by the Church. The ties to the old ways and connections to those streams had been stamped out or dried up (for the most part), our ties to the divine feminine- The Great Mother was most dangerous to the power structure of the Catholic and later even the Protestant church-in where women were reduced to one of two ideas; Whore or Saint, our sacred sexuality stripped away, our knowledge of the magic of menses blood, birth and death rites fading into to history - or lets call that Herstory. Luckily some stores such as the Eddas still survive, Odin- who seems very much like Thoth, The concept of Yggdrasil, and Valhalla for example. Once we lose or weaken our connection to ancestral beliefs we lose other abilities as well. If a “newly” Christian young girl or woman began to site prophetic dreams, she should very well have been burned at the steak. We often view Colonization as something that never happened in Europe, but it did. It came bearing a cross-you convert or you die. Another example would have been The Roman Empire calling the Germanic Tribes “dirty” uncivilized, subsequently many Germanic Tribe members were forced into slavery, villages massacred, women and children raped or murdered. Later the Germanic tribes would inhabit most places the Romans conquered in Europe. The Romans thought far less of the Celts as well, calling them “Wood Demons.” It’s a long story lol. I also want to mention that Icelandic magick and Northern European paganism is still being kept alive today, although its practitioners remain a mere whisper of what it was prior to the conquest of the church. There is a resurgence of these practices. People can only be cut off from the ancestors for so long…Then the ancestors start calling and reminding. I also want to point out that Serbians and eastern Europeans are "White" and they have also been conquered by the church (Orthodox), yet many of their folk traditions remain, despite Marxism taking a stronghold in those regions as well as Russia. Same with the Greeks, though their ethnic admixture is pretty diverse.

    Gorgeous place, how fortunate to live near such beauty Nungali! The twisty tree is very cool..that first pic looks like a tortoise. I've always wanted to go to Australia-I had plans out of high school to go travel there, but a teacher talked me out of it. lol I believe this too. The but also I understand something that requires a lot of skill, energy and possible risk, needs something else in return. In your opinion, what would be an appropriate exchange for help like this if not money? Is an exchange really even necessary ? @Nuralshamal You have a very interesting background too, I knew a lot of Caribbean people growing up, Jamaicans mostly, some Cubanos y Dominicanos too. Do you have the same types of prophetic dreams as your father/grandfather? That is a very touching story about the bus btw.
  5. tbh a lot of women and other books I've read talk about the benefits of jade eggs and ben wa balls and the subsequent "abilities" gained from them lol. I'll read this thanks again, super cool of you.
  6. Thank you so much, these site are a treasure trove of information! I really appreciate that. 🙏

    Mhm, I'm sure the visits and dreams are quite impactful. I don't know much about African Voodoo to be honest, or African traditions really. I would really love to hear some of these stories you mentioned above! Oh it's a very juicy tale of aristocracy, colonialism, taboo mixing of bloodlines, "black magic," apostasy, rebellion, (later) internment camps, and the subsequent feelings of not belonging to either society or culture. It's how the little seemingly insignificant things still carry on through time mostly through food and little sayings, like the term "keshian" (poor thing, pity), they were said to me as a child and I continue to say it to my kids. I feel a connection there, I have very old photos (of photos) of my ancestors, who don't really look like me. But, I have their blood running through my veins. Yes, callings from ancestors that carry on the winds, reawakening the bloodlines and secrets encoded in your DNA. Somethings are never forgotten and always passed on to the next generation, lying dormant for you to discover! I love love love that pic, looks like serpentine eyes staring right into me!

    Lala Nila replied to Nuralshamal's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion

    I'm really mixed as well (European, Javanese, Anglo-Saxon). Do you think that having all this mixes makes you more drawn to exploring various traditions as well as callings from your ancestors?

    Thank you!!! 🙏

  10. My Experience With Black Magic

    Lala Nila replied to Nuralshamal's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion

    Yes, I agree with this - all of it. I try to remain positive and focus on the beauty of the cosmos. I also try not to fret too much about "that war" and focus on being a good person, doing good, spreading love and teaching that to my children. Thanks, your words cheered me up a bit. are you alluding to subterranean populations, I've read about little about this topic. What happens to them?

  11. My Experience With Black Magic

    Lala Nila replied to Nuralshamal's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion

    yes, I'm actually aware of most of the information in that link you posted, though I'm not familiar with Elena Danaan. However, my info is from the Annunnaki (Annunna) lore and what happened on earth during those times, what happened on Mars, etc. It's between now and 2080 that a lot of strife happens, at least what I see. I feel we're on the precipice of a Technocratic-Neo-feudalistic (lol) system devised and implemented by slimey billionaire (trillionaire ?) psychopaths. Like that boot stomping on the human face-forever, it's hard for me to look past that. A nod to Old3Bob and what he has been alluding to as well.

  12. My Experience With Black Magic

    Lala Nila replied to Nuralshamal's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion

    Surely there are costs, everything is an exchange of energies is it not? I hold no initiations to any lineage, nor have taken any oaths. Folk magic practices and shamanistic leanings are my birth right and led me to where am I now, as being a literal earthly representation of Goddess is. My path is not straight and narrow and quite frankly I wouldn't have it any other way. I simply enjoy reading about many traditions, I'm certainly not running around making Fu talismans and trying to invoke Enochian Entities with them lol. Just because someone is aware of certain magic and studied it, doesn't mean they actually participate in it. For the simple fact that yes, everything is an exchange of energy, so be careful what you do, who you follow, or the oaths you take. Lairg puts it rather succinctly :

    Lala Nila replied to Nuralshamal's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion

    I do like it so far, the cost is not crazy, though the set up is a little impersonal. I just signed up for the (free) Introduction to Sarvamnaya Yoga, it's starts on October 5. Achaya Sthaneshwar does a lot of question/answer zoom classes which is a bonus. He kept popping up on my YouTube feed as well, so I decided to give it a go. The lessons are go at your own pace, which I like. However, everyone is super eager for diksha lol, too eager in my opinion. Try the first few courses that are free, although it might be too basic, does it give a good overview of concepts.

  14. My Experience With Black Magic

    Lala Nila replied to Nuralshamal's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion

    Yes, maybe my approach is heterodox, I guess. I just feel love reading the stories, they are so alive and a beautiful way to get the point across, very layered. I have an extremely creative mind, visually I can put myself right in the middle of what I read. it's awesome and likely why I don't really watch too much t.v. lol I was also struck by the beauty of the Vakhs of Lal Ded (Lalleshwari), these spoke to me on such a grand level, my heart opened up so vastly. it's really quite beautiful how everything has opened up for me recently. I would never have imagined this for myself tbh. In fact, I've never prayed or devoted myself to any god before this and believe me, my family tried to get to pray to the Christian god and Jesus for a very long time lol. I joined the Vimarsha Foundation recently and I'm going through the curriculum there as well. I do have an achaya from another lineage , but he is very busy it seems and I'm still in the vetting process as some alarm bells have been ringing anyway!

  15. Looking for grounding exercises

    Lala Nila replied to markern's topic in General Discussion

    I do this all the time and find it extremely beneficial. The big trees are especially wonderful, I find pine trees most helpful in that regard. I always ask them first if they will help me discharge some of the energies and always profess my gratitude to the Mother Earth and whatever beautiful tree I was with that particular day after I wrap up my session. I agree with everything you said here! I always find that more mundane activities help as well such as squats for grounding, but seeing as OP has this disease, maybe a modified format, or light stretching (confirm what is safe with your physiotherapist) such as neck stretches, hip and pelvis rotations, modified bridges (back connect to the ground will help with energetic grounding), swimming, anything low impact as not to upset your knees-but also maintain and build muscle plasticity and strength, furthering mind-muscle connection. Just laying in Savasana and breathing, quieting the mind is a restorative activity as well. A big one which is often over looked is limiting screen time, spending time in nature and just being grateful for the natural beauty of the world is also helpful as well!

  16. My Experience With Black Magic

    Lala Nila replied to Nuralshamal's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion

    Great question, I could probably write several paragraphs on it! But, I won't lol. Ahhh, top greatest hits...probably discovering Wang Li Peng "Daoist Internal Alchemy" I did a lot of those techs for a while, but I never joined a class or had formal study. I had a teacher for a bit, which was mixed and overall I had pretty good results there. For a very long time I was focusing techs from Roni Edlund's book. But I stopped those and all Neigong for a few years. I wanted to give my energetic system a rest and try to forget about everything I have learned thus far and move on to another system. Due to my brain running all the time and getting easily distracted I was drawn to just stillness and trying to focus, which is why I actually enjoy meditation and it has proved immensely beneficial to my life. I later learned to do internal body scans, that sort of thing, which I still participate in from time to time. I like a lot of healing techs from The Gold Pavillion, as translated by Michael Saso as well. Those are just a few examples of an exhausting list.. So, I kind of ended up mixing a lot, which I know now not to and thus I've stopped. Most recently, the only thing I'm doing right now is Bhramari and Nadi Shodana Pranayama, then ground it Nama-Japa. Which is simple, rewarding and what I need at this time. In terms of esotericism and the occult, Ive been drawn to that since I was a child and most of my personal work revolves around the Divine Feminine archetype and exploring ideas/concepts/streams therein. I love to read and learn, I self educate- I've explored many paradigms, explore it, take what works and discard the rest (Ha! yeah some Chaos Magician influence there I guess). I'm all over the place with my interests, probably due to being neural-atypical (I hate that f*cking word but here I am...lol). In terms of rituals, rites, etc- Most of that is very private, of course, but one rite/ritual that I keep coming back to over the decades if that of The Stele Jeu, Akephalos (The Headless One) from the Greek Magical Papyri (PGM), in fact I've done a few rites from that manuscript and they have all proven to be worthwhile for me. My studies in Tarot and Qabalah have also been rewarding. Most recently however, I've been drawn the Shiva/Shakti path, having recently been "touched" but the glorious grace of Shiva (Har Har Mahadev). Which has been vastly influential in my recent studies, outlook on life and the cosmos, my entire path, connecting with my inner Guru and learning about my true essence-I'm nearly brought to tears-even in this very moment when I try to articulate the emotion, love, grace and devotion that I feel. It's pretty wild and I recognize that it was "him" that carried me through some pretty awful times in my life. I still know nothing except that mercy, I'm learning and reading the associated sutras, puranas, etc. I fully believe that you only ever have One Guru- The Adi Guru and that is enough for me (for now).

    Lala Nila replied to Nuralshamal's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion

    Sorry, could you expand a little on the concept of "galactic War." I think what you said above is true to an extent, lower level entities using humans to further an agenda, I can even think of some "Higher Level" entities where I also might think that to be the case as well. Do you mean an inter-dimensional war? Or an actual war happening right now in the cosmos in where we (humans) are merely pawns? thanks in advance

  18. Empty Your Cup

    Lala Nila replied to kakapo's topic in The Rabbit Hole

    Being boastful is never really a good sign. It can be very hard for people to revert back to newborn stage, especially when they believe themselves to be at a high level. To humble yourself and say "help me teacher, I know nothing, my hands are empty, my heart is untrained. How do you teach someone like me? Someone who has only known wrong things and done wrong things?" and then surrender to you, not many people can do that, they're not willing to, their ego prevents that. In my untrained opinion and I mean that sincerely- the relationship between Master and student is very important, it often transcends time and space, having been written long ago. A wise Master will turn away most people not because he doesn't want to teach, but because the student is not willing to let go and learn with all his (or her) heart. Which really points to what you wrote above! It takes a lot of wisdom to be both Master or student....and maybe a few whacks with that fancy stick to keep them inline once in a while

  19. My Experience With Black Magic

    Lala Nila replied to Nuralshamal's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion

    None, I just read a lot and like to research various traditions. I was mostly interested in magick of South East Asia (Java, specifically), comparing folklore and nuances from a few different areas to get a feel for it, which had lead me to Thai magic. Lot's of power there, lots of fakes too! But I definitely agree that they are sweet and kind. Chinese people are sweet and kind too, it just presented a little differently at first, more guarded initially and that's ok too. Honestly, I've met sweet and kind people from everywhere and having said that, some people are just assholes, no matter where they come from. lol Thanks for sharing that story. Jealously is such a ridiculous thing to deal with, so petty and is very often found with in your own damn family or "friend" group. I'm happy you guys were able to move past it and move on!

    Lala Nila replied to Nuralshamal's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion

    Awesome, reply thank you! Yes, I've heard about a lot of strong magick coming from Thailand actually. Even some basic amulets from a trusted Arjahn could offer good protection, but as you stated above you need to have the $.

  21. My Experience With Black Magic

    Lala Nila replied to Nuralshamal's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion

    Based off this comment, would you say that defence magic only goes so far and that (perhaps) implementing offence means (if you know them) or by asking someone who does and use all tools necessary? What would you have done personally in this case? I'm not familiar with happened with Nuralshamal's girlfriend, why did she become targeted? And hopefully is ok now.

  22. What are you listening to?

    Lala Nila replied to sean's topic in The Rabbit Hole

    Har Har Mahadev! (softly whispers) Śivāya Namaḥ...... Har Har Mahadev!!!! (softly whispers) Śivāya Namaḥ Śivāya Namaḥ Śivāya Namaḥ (original version) Har Har Mahadev! An expression of Parvati's love, faith and devotion, the most beautiful love story ever told. "....please hear me out oh all knowerplease hear me out oh kind sirim your slave for many rebirthsive been devoted to you since i was a little girli will never leave you.day and night ill worship your feetif i leave you i die...." I love all these versions and wanted to share it with everyone here!

  23. My Experience With Black Magic

    Lala Nila replied to Nuralshamal's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion

    Wow, great career you have, despite the injuries! Yes that makes sense, I know that there was a lot of ideas exchange between Sufism and various Hindu sects, possible Kashmir Shaivism as well. I can't recall the exact details. Thanks for clarifying the concept of goddess worship in the context of Sufism and some of the other elements of the divine feminine in relation to Islam. Yes, I agree that al-Bundi has been extremely influential in many disciplines (astronomy, astrology, math, etc). I can see how some of his work may be dangerous to practice openly.
