Desecrated, thanks, that gave me a rough view. Spida, I think you're right about the macrocosm attacking while during sleep. However, the whole point of sleep is rest, and if entities can attack you more while you sleep, that makes me wonder why we sleep at all. It reminds me of how astral projector...

I dreamed I was trying to shoot a tentacle from some sea monster, that I missed, and that the tentacle launched at me and hit me on the left side of my face. I felt like something drained from me as I started to wake up (maybe dream blood?). When I was finally awake I felt like there was a wound on ...

It occurred to me that if the astral is timeless, then anything that happens through the astral in order to manifest on the material plane would likely have to function through the material plane's already current state. Kind of like how sigil magick functions through mundane synchronicities. With t...

Ah ok

Thanks. That list of stuff is pretty effective. Regarding the breathing though, does it matter which nostril is covered, or how many times I breathe in? Or is it just a method to make more air pressure and the left/right nostril arbitrary? I'm curious as to what the occult anatomy (if any) is.

Never even thought of psionics. I was honestly thinking more on the line of rituals that I could use (I currently use the LBRP but I haven't used it enough for it to really be that useful), but a shield would probably work. Thanks.

I've been doing awareness meditations (30 minutes each morning and night). I sit down, close my eyes, and then try to observe my thoughts without influencing them or getting "absorbed" in them. Whenever I open my eyes after my practice, I get a little disoriented, but not really in a dizzy...

Alright, thanks for your help.

But if an event is probable and you make it occur, that means it's more than just probable (you made it happen). Isn't using probability to tell if something is magickally "possible" sort of unreliable then? The mind censoring reality seems to imply to me that seeing something might make s...

Please verify my understanding: Existence is pretty much infinite in scope, and each individual or being has a "soul" that may or may not be immortal. This soul manifests in various environments (for example: earth) so that it can learn. It also continuously reincarnates to push past its p...

If the slow approach is the best one, then what exactly makes a magickian able to do what he/she can do? The slow approach seems to imply (to me) that there's something akin to non-physical muscles that need to be worked slowly to get more ability. I can't reject the idea that there could be "e...

There's so many different systems: Psionics uses "energy" to cause effects. Astral projection related things usually state that there is an astral body, an ethereal zone (Real time zone), and an astral zone. Ceremonial magick uses pretty much anything (swords, candles, etc.) A lot of ritua...

Not meaning to be dense or anything [rofl], but I still don't quite get what you're saying. I get that because of entropy, nothing can be exactly as it was, but I'm pretty sure that when I turn my light switch on and off, my light indeed goes on and off and appears to be having the same version of &...

Okay, I just looked that up and from my current understanding, entropy is disorder; it always increases or stays the same. If that were a rock solid rule though, I don't see how a classic style ritual would be able to work, and I also don't see why people would do rituals if they didn't work (aside ...

I managed to crack the protective piece of glass covering my android phone's camera. The glass is still mostly where it needs to be so I'm wondering what sort of magick could fix it. The glass itself isn't actually all that damaged aside from a bit of cratering in its center and a few small cracks o...
