Maybe it's intuition... my intuition tells me sentient life forms don't manifest just because someone has faith that they will. My intuition could be wrong, but I don't have any reason to doubt it. "Servitors" - if that means spirits that exist on the astral plane, and serve the summoner, ...

without a sentient observer, then

... the double slit experiment has been utilized by speculative people to postulate an observer-created theory of existence. This is difficult to debunk or non debunkable.... Unfortunately the double slit experiment works when the observer is a machine. I would argue that even then, someone somewhe...

I just mean I don't believe in astral entities that exist as sentient beings just because people have faith in their existence. edit: it doesn't seem plausible to me because I cannot think of a causal process that could make it work. Are you able to think of a causal process for anything else in oc...

https://www.metastellar.com/fiction/melvins-progression/ I consider this short story relevant to occultism because there is this concept within magical and mystical circles of a thought form, an object of faith and worship, coming to life on the astral plane. I don't think I believe that actually ha...

I had fun writing this one, & I think it ties in to occultism perfectly - especially lucid dreaming / astral travel.

I was watching some videos by one of the English translators of the Sutra mentioned in my first post. He was emphasizing the Sutra's Buddha Self teaching. What he was describing sounded like the perspective some mystics have about God. Not the man in the clouds most people visualize when they think ...

The Individuate Church is a religion I founded with three friends when I was around 18 years old (am now almost 40). The first system of initiation I intend here to share was designed via an attempt I made to utilize spontaneous writing techniques to communicate with my higher genius. I also saturat...

welcome

I have encountered practitioners of the no-self teaching who claimed the sutra to be a forgery. I admit that the main reason I enjoyed the sutra so much is because it resonated with all my previous beliefs about enlightenment when I first read it. It may not be authentic, but I suspect the main reas...

thanks

This short story has occult elements, is grounded in a certain occult philosophy. I wrote this quite some time ago, and am pleased this magazine was willing to publish it even after I already told them I free published it on my websites / blogs. Here it is: https://www.pikerpress.com/article.php?aID...

Will have to check out Wattpad. I have been having a bit of luck getting published lately. Just recently, my "Agarial's Plight" was published in https://lothlorienpoetryjournal.blogspot.com/2023/02/agarials-plight-flash-fiction-story-by.html Lothlorien Poetry Journal. Another, "Melvin...

I have mentioned this short story in a couple of different places, including my website. One reason I'm writing it is to cover the kind of complexity that could muddy the waters on the subject of innocence or guilt with astral espionage. A Nazi Satanist conspiracy, a minority within an immortal elit...

It may be possible to, however many years in the future from now, trigger an anarchist utopia by astral networking present minded trust. Presumably elites have baggage, and more love for their corrupt friends and families than for society / fair concern inspiring totems. Yet if people unify in a man...

I think of Christianity as a diverse variety of religious traditions that thinks of Jesus as God and worships him. I consider religion the product of that humanity experiences a generalized sense of love for other than friends/family, for society, and objects (such as objects of nature, plants and d...

fear/insecurity is the primary inhibitor of success. In a perfect world, it would be possible for a partner to telepathically inhibit fear and program in an identification of success. Most are stuck with their own efforts of concentration and self-hypnosis to achieve these ends. In astral form, or j...

just a heads up OneOfFourth: when I tried to look at that .pdf, my browser told me it has been archived for paying customers because it has been inactive for so long. I realize this thread hasn't been active in a while, but you linked to it in a more recent thread.

>Transcendent states of consciousness, often aren't much use talking about....it gets into the problem of Mental Masturbation vs Direct Gnosis. IMO, its better to point to paths that can lead to Discovery. Meditation on emotional control, after perhaps a week of daily 1 hour meditations on focus and...

I have had similar suspicions about things like alien abduction: staged by humans with supernatural abilities, and perhaps futuristic technology. The way I map the hierarchy is just to ponder what makes the most sense, based on what I have directly experienced and read about. If astral travel valida...

With the human nervous system, much of what the body goes through is a direct reflection of what the mind identifies as happening. An allergic reaction is not triggered by a psychological identification, but a psychological identification of immunity can defeat the reaction in some instances. When i...

Well there's no such thing as a fool proof system. Thank you very much for the warning. I don't think sociopaths and psychopaths are "the top of the pyramid," at least not the only top. I think it is mostly people who only care about their own family and friends, and are basically sociopat...

I suspect it is possible to look backwards, into an infinity of change, and answer the question, "But if random, how all this sophisticated life?" (A) because infinite opportunity amounts to pretty good odds even when something seems implausible. If the God classically depicted existed, th...

I am not personally looking to astral network with anyone. Just throwing the idea out there. Astral Travel, /mind reading, offer incredible opportunities in networking. It is possible to ask the potential member a small set of questions, and get the honest answer no chance for deceit. Questions like...
