Esoteric thread

You have no idea how badly I want Qabbalistic/Golden Dawn shite to be real. Alas I think its just another man made distraction another falsehood meant to install artificial meaning and purpose where there probably is none
But of all the spiritual systems I've researched its the most appealing bar none.

Cringe bla bla

If you're sceptical but still interested, I'd recommend reading Carl Jung. Most of his works explore esoteric ideas but from the point of view of Western psychology, so its a great way to read about it in terms most of us can understand.

Another bit of advice to get the ball rolling - burning incense provides a protective environment to deal with challenging thoughts in times of stress

Bumping one more time for luck

Can you define the "great work"? Also I myself have been extensively researching religion, and pretty much understand religion itself a whole (with of course many thanks to people who also research that which interests me), I won't say how much I know but will let others see/decide for themselves, so anybody got anyways questions?

any* sorry lmao

Not sure if it counts as esoteric but Vipassana meditation is the greatest gift in my life.

What you do is you observe everything that comes to your attention and name it. For instance if you feel a pain in your body you go with your attention to the pain and name it ''pain... pain... pain''. After some time your attention would naturally switch to some other object like thinking, you are aware of this change, and then name it 'thinking... thinking.. thinking''

The philosophy is by being the observer and naming it you remove identification with whatever object you encounter. You will start to see your thinking, your emotions, your body as not self.

The exercise gives you insight in the three marks of existence. Namely that all conditioned things are impermanent, that all conditioned things are unsatisfactory and that all conditioned or unconditioned things are not self.

In Buddhism there are three roots of suffering. Attachment, aversion and ignorance. Vipassana means insight and the insights gained by vipassana meditation liberate you from suffering.
