North America was like that too (native americans had a shit ton of spiritual folk lore) till the white man came around with his science. Because of western medicine any alternative remedies and ideas are looked down upon in the USA but pretty much everyone else in the world is into superstition. You could argue central and south america might have had ancient ayy lmao contact and other shit like a hollow earth opening in south america but idk, I think it's just cause they didn't double down on the hardcore scientific thinking

I'm from El Salvador and here people with an education no longer believe in that kind of stuff for obvious reasons, hell, theyre not even that religious anymore. But yeah people from the rural zones who are poor as fuck still believe in that kind of shit, it's obvious why, they lack education so they know no better.

>>19234711
Yeah, that's a load of bullshit. You can find witchcraft all over Central America. Just do a Google search.

sometimes ive dreamed of the future but is some stupid shit and when i got to that moment im like "deja vu?" so i thought that our destiny was already written, but one time i change that, i dreamt that i was on my work and a kid comes and hands me a paper and someone came and punched that kid and i started to fight with that guy, so one day i saw that same fucking kid in my work and i was like "oh shit i know whats going to happen" so i tried to change the future, the kid showed me the same paper and when i saw the guy that was going to punch the kid in the face i told the kid to come inside and nothing happened, the kid left after a couple minutes. i sincerely think that i changed the future i saw that day but its always something unimportant when i have those dreams

I've had visions like that since about 3rd or 4th grade. Most of the time it's months or nearly years in the future, and strangely, I always instantly remember that dream when the event is happening. The times I try to change what's happening, it continues to go along as the dream went. It's extremely odd when it happens, as it doesn't quite feel like deja vu, but also doesn't feel like the first time it's happening anyway, as those dreams I have are quite realistic. It's fucking weird man.

> Believe in the one true god/creator
I'm not saying that religious people are stupid... But they are. Not a single proof of God's existance yet you believe these ancient fairy tales...

>>19234196
Though i believe i can relate
It's just that my research has led me to believe that he is a thing.
I still am skeptical since I do not like the thought of blind faith.
Never said i was done with my journey either

>I've heard the true self is neither the body nor the mind.
the true self is BOTH body AND mind, PLUS spirit. It's all of those combined under a tightly, focus alignment of values, attitudes, and beliefs.

start by writing down the things you strongly believe in right now. Make scenarios and write how YOU (your true self) would react and act to them. Then see overtime how they change or how true/correct they were as you go through life

hey id like to learn more about this too OP
have you found anymore books related to such topics?...

>>19233955
Well, first, if you're not already meditating, ya need to start my man.

As for the true self: there is no true self. And that realization is the "true" self. The true self is just detachment from the contingent self. As in, your detachment from any particular image of yourself and the world you live in, insofar as these self-conceptions are detrimental to the path.

It's like, if you're at work, the self you are at work is ephemeral, only ever the product of the particular determinations it imposes on you, and if you can really, intuitively grasp how arbitrary your day-to-self is, how it's just the output of who knows how many biological/subconscious/conscious inputs, and it's more like just a schema or a mold you take on according to given conditions x, you realize that it's not "you" that's acting but something fundamentally not-you.

Easy example is sexuality. Sexuality is healthy and a part of life but if you're getting boners in public and shit, then you gotta realize it's not your conscious center acting here, it's literally a lower will (your benis) imposing itself into your consciousness. No these things don't have a mind of their own, they just have directives, functions they too must perform, that can violently assert themselves the more they are fed. And same with all kinds of addiction: you've fed a sub-mental complex that justifies itself through your own thinking ("one drink won't hurt...")

The more you become aware of how you become a putty in another force's hands - even something as innoccuous as changing how you act as soon as someone enters a room that was just empty - the more you can ground yourself and act from a "True Will", which is just taking a step back, breathing, and re-asserting the unity of consciousness that you are against all the parasitic complexes that use you only as a vehicle to realize themselves. Reclaim an individuality beyond a mere empirical, political, social individuality.

You are missing the point, infinity have no end and no beginning

>>19233841
So, when are you going back to school?

>>19233841
Those are really interesting questions!
I think contemplation like you are doing rather than an external source is probably the best way to find an answer. But those are really interesting questions!!

I just got fired for levitating at work again

Well, silicon doesn't combine into quite as many different molecules as carbon, so it doesn't seem likely.

>>19233001
Silicone life is the next most likely after carbon.

It definitely exists in the universe.
It is possible that it exists on earth.

>>19233400
>silicon life is the next most likely

It's not a matter of probability. There's no such thing as silicon life and there never will be.

Everything is the "Self". There is nothing but the "Self".


But its not you, who reincarnates, its the Self.

I've re-found my motivation to delve into the occult recently. Very much living my life with the World through the eyes Hermeticism, hermetic kabbalah and neo-Platonism with a dash of ten different vitalist theories, and an Alan watts-esque amateurish vomit of Taoism and Hinduism.
Divination takes a role but astrology is more of a tool for myself than for divining for others and I am only moderately well versed in tarot and I Ching . Philosophically, my scope follows a what is called process theory (Alfred north whitehead), participation theory, and utilizes some principles that follows a track of Plato-Leibniz-Goethe-Steiner-Jung. Essentially rejecting outright Epicurus, Democritus, Descartes, Kant, and lost enlightenment scientific/scientistic reductionism and the nihilism that comes with it,.

Id call it a conservative chaos magick. Not all nuts like some chaosticians. But it is syncretic

Not so much into the Druidic or South American shamanistic vein. My fiancé does come from a family that practices Ifa though (which is a type of Caribbean Afro Cuban religion like Houdoun and Santeria). Useful but not my Path.


Is there any S-tier works that could help expand is perspective? I've read a large portion of the 40gig mega occult library collection. I have a fairly expansive library. Need new reading. Anything that is the top of the pyramid level works on theory or usefulness.

>>19232778

Keep in mind that for godself-realization you'll have to dissociate from the mind. It's beyond langague.
