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...

I don't claim to be the most advanced scholar around, but I have studied some Western esoteric thought without coming to the exact same schemata. Maybe I'm exposing my ignorance... I am skeptical only on one point. Perhaps this isn't what you were attempting to do: it seems as if you are saying all ...

two interesting replies, both offering unique insight.

Amor, if you don't mind my asking, where did you come up with your three stage schemata?

This, I was briefly pondering and couldn't think of where else to put it. Would be interested in anyone's insights into these and other states of enlightenment. States of Enlightenment Reading lots of books. Writing explanations of things. Digging deep. It might be considered a state of enlightenmen...

I'm often surprised at how little traffic forums like this get.

I hope you will find your project of rebooting to be emotionally fulfilling, and not quit on us... Good luck and have fun!

you may want to publish the list of the books you already have, so that others know what not to send you.

I recently watched bastard son and the devil himself , a netflix show about two warring clans of witchcraft. The fairborn appear to be the heroes at the beginning because the main character is raised by fairborn. A particular blood witch, the "devil himself," is introduced as a plausible p...

"We Discordians must all stick apart." - Malaclypse the Younger, K.S.C. The Individuate Church includes a system of initiation with some Jungian individuation and a symbolic ascent of the 8 circuits of Timothy Leary's model. This system is published free on the front page of the Individuat...

I recently published this in the Halloween edition of Blood Moon Rising Magazine:

"Psy Mission"

There is an attempt at a mapping of possible occult hierarchies, and a theory of reincarnation. It is of course intended as pure fiction.

a prophet, 100% accurate scrying the exact future, could scry the real quantities of fairness, which i consider: free will contributed minus free will stolen pleasure contributed minus pleasure stolen suffering contributed minus suffering stolen as per the culpable psyche. To avoid cruel and unusual...
