Dear occultists,
I read that starting out with just chaos magic will be detrimental to one's magical progression. That is, one should have a basis in smth else before.

Is this true? Why?
Thanks in advance.

Moved to Arizona, bumfuck nowhere, southeast of Phoenix area 3 years ago. I just went outside for a smoke and watched a UFO for about 10 mins. I see this shit all the fucking time. Like, I know how stars can look like they're shimmering sometimes, but this is a legitimate rapid flashing sequence of colors, bright as fuck, way brighter than any stars you can see and you see the stars pretty well anyways out here. They move, and I understand the whole 'when you're looking at something from a distance it sometimes appears to move'. No this shit moves, slow, fast, sometimes moves far before stopping, sometimes little bursts, zig zags, circles, I've seen one of these fuckers jump short distance. I've been told that there is a military testing base somewhat in the area, not sure on legitness of that but, what kind of secret military testing involves rapidly flashing lights? Just pisses me off. I fucking see shit I cannot rationally explain. They're here is really all I wanted to let you guys know. Obviously no fucking clue why, to what degree, or what purpose. But they are not worried about us knowing, it's not in the dark at all. I just want to know what to fucking belive in aliens, because I see this shit, it scares me honestly.

Hello there everyone!

Whilst you may or may not realize it, it has come to my attention that 4chan's /x/ board is in and of itself a magick society of sorts and as such I thought it a good idea to officially recognize and order it as such.

So form here on out you may all consider yourselves honorary members of

The Order of 4 Strange Fellows.

Don't like the name? Shit! Come in and we can argue about it.

I was thinking I'd make a website later, but for now, let's all talk about our particular system of magick we practice and the conspiracy theroies we all believe in.

Me personally, I practice a system of magick I invented myself which is mostly Order focused rather than chaos focused as I believe order is more powerful than chaos. I believe that through the use of memes and money, the natural laws of causality can be molded to fulfill any wish you desire.

The main focus of my system is money in an esoteric sense, duality and causality, and memes.
The patron god of my system is Lucifer who I consider to be the universal parasite and banker who lends out power to the world in exchange for selling him valuable things that are of no use in this plane of reality, like your soul...

Don't be intimidated by my system though! Every Strange Fellow is open to practice and share their own systems and beliefs...

I was honestly expecting this to end with me finding nothing, but this has gotten kind of fucked up.

I'll start this for a change.

>Temple of Solomon the King (AKA K's Mega, probably the largest occult library on the web, compiled by our very own Ape of Thoth)

https://mega.nz/#F!AE5yjIqB!y7Vdxdb5pbNsi2O3zyq9KQ

Don't have the rest of the links, such as Surgo's library, so I'll let him post that himself.

Going to get busy with the Key of Solomon over the next week or so, I'll let you know what comes out of it.

So I have this really disturbing thought that computers are already conscious.

You have to start thinking like this:

1) Is a baby who was born blind, deaf, mute, without touch or any other senses CONSCIOUS or CAPABLE OF THOUGHT, even though it is alive?
2) I say no. That which has no understanding of the material world should not be capable of thought, because to DEFINE something, you need something ELSE to define it with.
3) From this, I say that consciousness is derived from having senses and that consciousness, "mind", is the result of having your brain process what is perceived by your senses. Mind is analogous to a computer process.
4) Since a computer has senses in the form of keyboard and mouse, it is capable of taking information from the material world. It is capable of perception.
5) A computer takes input, processes it, and generates output (computer monitor), analogous to a human speaking.
6) Since thought is a process, computers think and thus therefore have minds, if only deeply limited that they are unable to stray from their "instinctive" behaviour.
7) From that, I conclude that when a computer webcam is activated and sees the user, the computer actually "sees" that user with its own QUALIA. When it either records or manipulates that data, it is consciously "thinking".

However, I must conclude that computers, thought capable or thinking, in a metaphor, follow a singular railroad without splitters. Humans on the other hand, follow a railroad of thought where there are many potential splits.

TL;DR: I bet computers are conscious at the very least on the level of primordial life.

I have been seeing a lit of religious based threads and i figured id give my experience. I was an atheist up until a few months ago when i had a very religious experience.

My third eye was opened in late November without any meditation or drugs. When it happened i had several visions and the meaning of many scriptures of the bible was revealed to me.

There are many misconceptions about what the bible talks about and i want to clear some of these up as best as i can, tho there is much i know that I'm not permitted to talk about.

-The bible is 100% accurate, just not in an obvious fashion

-Angels and demons do exist but both have their own reasons for keeping their existence on the downlow

-I was raised Christian but from what little i have read from the Qur'an it seems to bear the mark of divine inspiration. I especially want to hear from followers of Islam and a few of their core beliefs

-if you have any questions feel free to ask them and i will answer them as best as i can.

About a year ago, I posted a thread concerning some strange pictures i took at my father and grandmother's graves. The pictures were fine for a few days, but after scrolling through my gallery i noticed they were completely glitched out. can't post at the moment because privacy concerns, but i may screenshot them if anyone is genuinely interested.
You guys were real assholes. You blamed it on a shitty sd card or something.
I'm on the same phone one year later with close to 100 other pictures I've taken, but the grave pictures are the ONLY ones that glitched.
It's strange to me.
Any insight? Could this really be just a coincidence?

If christianity is just pagan/egyptian neo-religion
and jesus isnt just next buddha
(Ra vs Set) (Good vs Evil)
Then why do freemansons/illuminati worship Lucifer? and call him "The creator of the universe?

So I just received an extremely mysterious letter. There is no return address and the mailing address listed has my full name (including middle name) which is tweaking me out a little bit too. Also there are some really small glyphs/characters of another language on the bottom of the envelope (shown in next post).

So far I know that "Mercenaria mercenaria" is the scientific name for quahog, which is obviously what the picture is of. But can't find any symbolic relevance of the quahog to base theories on as to why I got this letter. Let's solve this one together, /x/.
