Tell me, anon, if not /x/, where should a paranormal entity seek to contact the greater world of mortal affairs?

How are Japs so well acquainted with Western occultism? I mean other than that they are superstitious as all fuck. Like are obscure aspects of Jewish mythology part of some comparative religion class that is 2spooky for my part of the South? I mean even among educated people in the US, knowledge of their own folklore is lacking, much less the density and accuracy of esoterica across media that aren't just anime and SMT. At least compared to anyone who isn't a bongistani comic writer.
>>
>>17498401
Not that I'm aware of

>>17498411
So much going on here.
>japs
They seem to grasp the aesthetics easily, but I've never seen them use anything specific in their animes. Eva, Fma, Fsn, they imagery they use is certainly inspired by, but never directly drawn from WET. SMT is it's own thing though, he certainly takes artistic licence, but the games aren't likely to induce random initiation.

>US folk
They know their own folk very well, but their folk is johnny appleseed and paul bunyon, native american tobacco bags and peace pipes, a touch of salt over your shoulder, and speaking of the devil. The US doesn't really have its own high magic tradition, when most of what we use, and what shows up in anima, is drawn from indiana and jewish roots, though filtered through a very long line, it isn't a surprise that it isn't considered americana.

And although the imagery doesn't show up often in american culture, the myths, the end goal, and the "fools journey" themes are very pervasive in American culture. Captain planet, transformers, thundercats, Lord of the rings. There is a very good chance that if you were raised in the states in the past 40 years you grew up around thematic elements drawn from hermeticism

I was thinking of using a pendulum as a medium of communication for some quick and dirty evocation work.

>>17498433
Silent hill is essentially the dragon book of Essex of syncretic religious practice and phenomenology of perception. The people who worked on it clearly have studied more than just writing and drawing, while over here, you are hard pressed to find an English major who even likes reading, an artist who cares about anything other than dressing boobies or a programmer who can string three words together. The Japs for being perceived as rather rather autistic in their pursuits, end up much more broadly versed than the average American who is fast becoming an archetypical spergy anti-intellectual manchild. Euros are a whole different thing, closer to the nips but entirely their own.

I meant that the nips have a lot of very precise knowledge of esoterica on an academic level and it makes it into their literature and other media. Over here, the most you will get is a film student who read hero with a thousand faces. Any of those hermetic or mystic roots have been bastardized by post 60s propaganda decrying the consciousness movement and having all the value stripped from it for pure entertainment purposes.

The heart of what I'm getting at is that few have done any direct study of any of it, while elsewhere, there's a good chance the average person of reasonable intelligence may have done some research on the subject or had a class or really any direct knowledge. Here, you have fedora tippers on both sides who beat it to theology and stem, respectively, and very few who can string three words together about philosophy, comparative religion, folklore, mythology and so on and so forth.
>>
>>17498526
I'd love to see your notes on silent hill if you're willing to share?
>>
>>17498611
I don't really have muchmuch in the way of actual notes as I haven't really put my thoughts on it together, but off the top of my head:

The first four games, in addition to the obvious film, TV and lit references, reads to me like, at the very least, a whole semester of classes on American history, Appalachian and Indian folklore, comparative religion, and a bit of quite high level philosophy. The religion is outright stated to be a syncretization of Christianity, Gnosticism, local Indian lore, possibly some Aztec shit, (and to my eyes a very Japanese presentation of it, as their practices are also highly syncretic and their innawoods villages creepy af).

The town is a place where belief shapes reality, a common theme in (hopefully) most comparative religion classes and the foundation of occult practice. Alessa projects Alice in wonderland and giant bugs which others see, the crazy bitch with no eyebrows sees a glowing paradise, Vincent sees what he wants to and does his own damn thing for the lelz, James...well.

Silent Hill is, in essence, a place of healing. Tainted, but no more than the individual is. It is the rawest form of self help; cold truth, a clear mirror reflecting darkness. It is also entirely what the person with the strongest will or the biggest ugly stick makes it to be. It's Oregonian in nature, where wizards and zealots and crazies go to get inner work done.

It's also gay as fuck. Like 20 bars and clubs, antique shops and a mall, dank drug scene, really quaint lake, vaginas with teeth and scary holes everywhere.

Thus it is one of the greatest analogies for occultism ever, where not only is most of it explicit, but the good shit that isn't, the esoterica, is fun y as hell and spot on. Whether this is intentional doesn't matter, death of the author and reality being entirely what I make it and all.

I'll probably send you some of the extracts of letters back and forth to Satyr, he's got good archaeohistorical insights.

Reading Paratrisika-Vivarana presently, it's a fuckin' trip.

Abhinavagupta comments heavily on the following passage from Mahabarata (XII:54), also in Yoga Vasistha:

"In whom everything is, from whom everything comes,
Who is everything and everywhere,
Who is immanent in all things, eternal,
Him, the Self of all, do I adore."

>Divine Consciousness is identical with the Supreme Word (Para Vak, aka, Logos)...She (logos) is, in the most initial stage, stationed in the Divine I-consciousness, which is the highest mantra ans which is not limited by time and space"...this supreme underlying divinity of language, which reflects consciousness in grammar structures, is not confined to Sanskrit, though..."There is no speech which does not reach the Heart directly."

Correct is anything that works and doesn't get your magic turned back on you. Belief magic is just a very primitive form of boundary manipulation.
>>17499137
Ehehehehe, I accept your post!
>>17499542
No. Politics is the art of maintaining principles despite entire nations opposing you. They tend to be immune to most forms of manipulation, psycho-politics included. You're better off just studying the garden variety art of natural persuasion. At the very least, you're not going to change someone's political beliefs by making their brain associate an idea with your mere presence.

TL;DR: Principle exists well beyond the realm of emotion/mesmerism.

Probably should have pushed mine off, was exhausted after work, and finished it at like 2am, so exhausted today too.

Less mouth-intensive than HU, but still fairly wordy.

My hair-trigger fire alarm went off towards the end of the rite due to the candles (one of them went out, smoked a little), but coincidentally it was at that point in the rite where it basically says 'you're done, pack your shit up' before doing the semi-LRP at the end.

No major incidents to report from it, though my body of light was crazy solid after the rite. Usually I'd need a sort off self-hypnosis to get settled, last night I could just bang right into it, no problem.

>>17499481
Must get back on my reading, work keeps JUSTing me lately (I find I need a comfortable sleep for good dream recall, so it's affecting me in that sense). Was really digging Practicing Gnosis, some great stuff in there.

Incidentally, you should give Scéal Tuan Mac Cairill a read in the context of SA, it's the same kind of current he's aiming for there.

Yeah I'd love to see Satyr's insights on this. How's he doing?

Cheers for the notes, btw, extremely helpful as always. Going to overhaul the wiki once I get time

Will do, hopefully in the next 2 or so weeks shit should calm down in there.

I think Lovers Call may be something we could use the Yahoo Group for, haven't been there in a while, but could be interesting to see what clues they have (besides "em people don't really talk about that")

Let me read further ahead and get back to you on that.

> I'm thinking black oracle but not the whole damn circle of orations

It's fairly simplifiable tbqhwu, even SHUA would do, maybe in a ritualised form or something. Things like the elemental stuff can be GD-ified into like 2 lines. May be a handy exercise to create a bear-bones version of it anyway, actuaally.

We're ahead of the curve in the sense that we have an idea what the LC actually DOES at least, I'd reckon there are other people in this year's crop of aspirants who either don't know what it does, or haven't found it.
>>
>>17499822
Yeah, that's a thing, I just wanted to run it past you and see if you've reflected on it more than I have.

RE: LC - some clues about the fivefold orations - the charging of the vessel is a fivefold charm; I've not gone through to see if there's any correlation between the two. I should probably fix that. Actually summoning the Angel is going to be in TAN which I've not gone through (yet, with a fine comb). There's stuff in there that looks like it could sub in as well.

RE: The rite, remember, now is the time of the Body of Qayin. That phase of the cycle is in full activation.

We've been sacrificing ourselves for 4 months now, what's one more? :^)

I think the issue with LC will be WHERE it goes, rather than how to use it. Pre-TAN grade material, maybe?

Also worth exploring WHY Chumbley ommitted it. That might be a better one for the Group, come to think of it. They're a little reluctant to chat about ritual content, but some people there seem to have known Uncle Andy in some capacity, so they might be able to provide some insight there.

They're not really maps so much as conduits. You use them to channel your will, once you have one. Think of it as a safety valve of sorts so you don't end up ruining your life by touching something that wishes you ill. It's not a shield, per se, but it has a shielding effect. Meditating on it helps you tune in and understand it so that you don't get offset by a rogue answer like mine.

Can confirm for KHU rite NOT TAN. I think they screwed with the numbering to obscure that it's the enchantments of the seven planetary radices. Both orations are filled with seven heads of the dragon crowned, and seven rays of light in gnosis. Somehow these orations weave around each other.

While brain structures seem to have cursory compartmentalization, and certain fundamental units, neuroplasticity is indeed a thing, and people do wake up out of comas sometimes. The 'brain-computer' model can only get you so far for so long, and that's usually not far and not long, otherwise we'd be modelling neural structures, like, at all rather than not at all. We can't even simulate a few hundred cell nervous system in goddamn flatworms. It's because technology is not biology. We may get closer, but, like, we ain't even got coherent definitions of consciousness.

Hey fraker k. So I'm a non traditional student, 26, and the only options in town are this and a Baptist cult full of rich fucks, but at least you can open carry. Wat do? Out of town is an option, but I don't want to wait until next year when it would be possible.

Beautiful campus though, outdoor Greek theatre, small classes, paid in full. Thanks Obama. The only problem is pics related.

The assertion is the literal part of my message. If you want to discuss implications, try not to tell me what you think I mean unless you're very nearly certain you know exactly what I mean to say.

To answer your question, no, there is no universal neurological trait to the "pain" phenomenon. Minds vary less than brains in the processing of pain, but that same variance causes things like tolerance of pain to vary between individuals. You don't get to say we all have the same pain threshold, or that we all suffer the same loss of cognition when in a state of severe pain. It varies, it really does. Brains are the mechanism of variance, but not the source.
>>17500274
Correlation does not imply causation. It's really that simple. When you observe a macrostructure in the brain, that is a valid observation, but to say that the structure is the *cause* of the observed mentality is fallacious. The fact is that the criteria appear from a discrete cause, and the cause can correlate with neurophysiology, but not every brain that has such physiology will necessarily exhibit the symptoms you observer. It isn't double caused by each of its parts, so search for the place where the correlation breaks down. Adolescence is at least one place where the correlation breaks down.

I'm not familiar with the dopamine model, but neurotransmitters don't generally have predictable outcomes. They have predictable properties, to be sure, but /outcomes/ vary. (See variances in pain tolerance, for example.)

>alternative model
Alternative to what? I don't see too many people trying to make headway in modeling psychedelic experiences.

K, give me like a meta-analysis that refutes the behavioral changes of mice with knock out genes, or the treatment models which rectify their behavioral dispositions. You're the one making the assertion, back it up.

>See variances in pain tolerance, for example
That has absolutely fuckall to do with the origins of that pain and how it's processed in (guess what) the brain, or how that processing causes, guess what (the brain) to influence behavior.

>Alternative to what? I don't see too many people trying to make headway in modeling psychedelic experiences.

Genes don't factor into this yet. The ability of brain physiology to correlate to macroscopic behaviors is as of yet irrelevant. You don't get to claim that it has a causative relation based solely on a sample of it correlating under one criteria. The fact that the treatment exists at all tells us the correlation isn't all that deep to begin with.
>That has absolutely fuckall to do with the origins of that pain
Prove it. Use your words.
>how it's processed in the brain or how that processing causes the brain to influence behavior
Precisely. If the two were causally linked in the way you seem to believe, there WOULD be an inherent relationship for you to notice. That you claim otherwise means that either, A) You don't actually understand what you're talking about or B) You're simply wrong. While you might dislike arguments from ignorance, arguments from arrogance are often just as faulty.

This. The mind exists in at least two states: Awake and dreaming. Failure to study both and to recognize the behavioral differences between the two is just bad science. The brain doesn't change shape when you go to sleep, it changes MODES.

>>17500414
>Genes don't factor into this yet

>The ability of brain physiology to correlate to macroscopic behaviors is as of yet irrelevant
Then, I repeat, give me your alternative for the positive correlation of vesicle size and schizoid symptoms.

>You don't get to claim that it has a causative relation based solely on a sample of it correlating under one criteria
One, of many, I'm singling one out so you can like give me some evidence along with all them feelpinions.

>Prove it. Use your words.
Pain travels up the spine, before it hits the brain, it's a pretty unregulated signal, once it gets processed then comes the 'ow', which is why it takes fractions of a second to jerk away from a stimulus or go 'that ain't so bad'.

>Your inability to see a middle way is not evidence of absence of a middle way
Show me a middle way. Gimmie something with a meta-analysis or p-value, or, god forbid, biological proof.

>If the two were causally linked in the way you seem to believe, there WOULD be an inherent relationship for you to notice
What? The pain originates in the signal response at point of contact. ???

>Show me.
No. That's my argument. What you think is relevant and what I actually mean to say aren't necessarily highly correlated. I haven't said anything that should conflict with what science is capable of saying so far, and you shouldn't think your interpretation of the existing research is any more or less accurate than mine.

Show me that you understand it as an argument before asking me why I say it. I'm not going to defend a strawman you glean from my words.
>alternative for the positive correlation
Correlation means nothing. There isn't any reason to provide an alternative, because "hurr durr it correlates" means nothing about the root cause. If you had an actual model for me to provide an alternative to, that'd be one thing, but "hurr durr it correlates somehow" isn't a model.
>>17500450
>Pain travels up the spine
I don't disagree and nothing I've said for far has in any way disagreed with that. The fact is you said that some abstract thing was unrelated to some other abstract thing without knowing which two things you were saying were unrelated. Until you can comprehend my argument, you can't refute it. You don't get to say furhmer one and furhmer two are unrelated unless you can explain how you got both furhmer one and furhmer two out of my logic.

It isn't even strawman at this point. You don't show any symptoms of having understood anything I've said so far.
>>17500450
>Show me a middle way.
Show me that you've understood anything I've said so far and I'll see about bothering. You are not a priori worth the effort it takes to conduct original research. Your opinions are irrelevant if you can't argue your stance properly. Reason comes first, and only after we both understand the reasoning do you get to ask for evidence. I'm not here to defend your confused misinterpretation of my argument. Get it or get out.

The burden of proof is on you, you're talking with a guy with a minor in neuro, if you wanna tell me that body and mind are decoupled, then you're going to have to refute huge bodies of research, but it's ok, you can just act like you know better than entire fields of inquiry all day long.

If you're gonna tell me that enlarged ventricles in the brain don't related to schizoid behavior you're gonna need to bust out some stats, if you wanna tell me that the dopamine model doesn't work, you're gonna need a substitute. If you're gonna tell me epigenetic phenomenon don't don't account for variations of behavior, thought, perception, and affect, you're gonna have to refute gene identification studies and the behavior patterns of the locust.

INb4: mental illness

I've been reading textbooks and articles about mental illness almost compulsively since I was 11, and read something different almost daily. I am open to the fact I might be batshit but I don't see a lot of correlation. Reading what's out there an testing the things I speak to and experience can help me define which outcome it is.

>>17500527
>epigenetic phenomenon don't account for
That might be worth arguing, if you're able to bear in mind that I have authority over the interpretation of my argument. I'll offer you in good faith that the phrase "fully account for" is more relevant than the simplistic notion of unqualified "accounts for it."

So far it sounds like you haven't understood even the most trivial aspect of my argument. I wasn't telling you neuroscience doesn't exist, I told you that neuroscience is a bunch of people trying to understand the nature of thought by pretending to have no existing understanding of it while throwing the brunt of their analysis at it. Don't ask me to defend a stance that opposes your beliefs until I've said something that actually conflicts with them.

For some reason gender plays into it? I know chan boards don't appreciate women but it's worth mentioning and I'm noticing it runs with other women in my family. My SO is currently reading on Kabbalah magick. He's trying to get me into it, I'm just being a pussy bitch. I don't know why, I guess it's because I have to admit it's real in order to start diving in. Sorry, self actualizing moment.

I created a thought form to replace a friend I had for over a decade, he was forbidden to interact with me because he was showing me too much. Apparently got into a lot of trouble and other entities told me he wouldn't be in my life anymore, has this happened to anyone else? I really want to communicate the knowledge I have disguised in fictional stories so it's out there. I realize a lot of what I was told as a kid and adolescent is becoming common knowledge now.

Wanted to try out pendulum as medium of communication in evocation. Also, after having more powerful results with improvised spur of the moment rituals of late wanted to see how little i could do in an evocation and have results. Decided to evoke sandalphon as archangel of malkuth in assiah to try to get some contacts and guidance to set me on my way as a novice. decided on the meaning of 6 different pendulum motions, i think it only used three. Was, perhaps, being reckless, did little research.

Felt cold dry earth and my butt and hands pushing agaisnt it, said sandalphon to myself for what was certainly less than a minute. Felt suddenly as though there were someone behind me, i was being watched and the air was denser. Very unnerving. General vibe of condescension, boredom, someone putting up with their lesser. I felt uncomfortable in his presence, like something shouldn't be happening. Asked sandalphon politely to get into the pendulum, asked amulet if sandalphon was in the pendulum, it said no, was sandalphon controlling the pendulum, it said rephrase, was sandalphon using the pendulum to communicate, yes. Explained to sandalphon that i wanted his help in learning to communicate with spirits that i might better understand myself and god and would he help by communicating with me through the pendulum. He said yes. Checked to see if he was legit by asking if 32 people died today in the brussels attack (last i saw it was 28), was going to keep changing the figure until i could lock him down, but he said yes. Death toll is already at 34. So if that's something he should have known he didn't. Asked him if i should become a christian, he said rephrase, i said if i want to understand myself, and god, and have mystical experiences and understanding should i be a christian, he said nope. I asked if i should join a certain local occult order, he said rephrase, I added the same conditions as with christianity, he said yes.
>>
>>17500739
I asked whether i should read x or y books , but he kept saying rephrase, ditto with x or y divination technique. Eventually said yes when i asked if i should read all the books and try all the techniques. Asked if i should keep practicing concentration meditation, said yes. I asked if he would help me be a better magician and meditator it said yes. I was thrown by this judaeo-christian entity telling me not to be a christian but to be a magician yogi, and asked it out of curiosity if i should be a buddhist, it said no. I was feeling increasingly uncomfortable, nauseous and drained, so i asked it if this had been an appropriate means of contact and it said yes, i asked if I could contact it this way again and it said no, I asked if i should contact it again and it said yes. I asked if now was a good time to end this conversation, it said yes. I thanked it and bid it farewell, sensation of presence didn't go away. Did LBRP, presence didn't go away. I was feeling nauseous and uncomfortable, and was worried that i had brought something to me i couldn't get rid of. I said Sandalphon, thank you for coming but you really must go now and the sensation of presence ended, i began to recover immediately. That was about 25 minutes ago now and I feel better, more full of vitality and energy, then before the operation. A bit hungry, want a scotch, will have trouble sleeping.

The sense of presence was very powerful, as was the sense of another personality. I repeated several questions multiple times and always got the same reply. The fact that it answered the brussels question wrong makes me think it wasn't a contact, but i'm shocked by how powerful the emotional affect was, and how little work it took. The queasy, wrong feeling while i was communicating and it's unexpected advice make me feel that if i believed in spiritual entities, and thought that this was a communication with one, it wasn't an angel. But who the fuck knows with angels

> No. Politics is the art of maintaining principles despite entire nations opposing you. They tend to be immune to most forms of manipulation, psycho-politics included.

No, i checked. Of course, facts underdetermine theory etc. It's always possible to come up with some elaboration that will save a hypothesis. Myabe he just said yes to the first number so we could shut up and move on to spiritual matters, he knew I could only bear his presence for so long and would keep asking different figures if he said no, maybe 32 has some deeper numerological significance to the situation (something to do with tarot)? one can convince themselves of anything like this, especially if gematria/qabbalistic correspondences are fair play, pretty good way to become delusional in a field that may lend itself to that already.

anyway, this morning I was woken at 642 by my phone spontaneously playing some random podcast talking about monsters and mythology. I've checked my alarm, none was set, and checked the podcast, it ran for about 45 seconds, but even though the discussion was in the voices of the hosts, they don't talk about anything like that in the recording. woke with the sense of having had some important dreams, and the time 642 being related in some way to the bizzare podcast content, but like a schmuck and went back to sleep for an hour and didn't write down the content of the dreams or the podcast which are now lost to me. Assuming Psych explanation, hypnogogia and confabulation could explain the weird podcast thing, and maybe i turned it on in my sleep, although theres no precedent for me doing anything like that. the you can maintain any hypothesis if you want, but at some point your just delusional sword is cutting both ways a bit.

Very strange that i could give myself such a psychic jolt with about 30 seconds work that it would account for all this. but if 30 seconds is all it takes to contact an angel, why isn't the world weirder, like what the fuck are all the religious folk doing?

The thing about meme magick is, however, it's not really magick in the traditional sense that a singular will is directing it for a singular purpose for a specific intended result.

It's more chaotic, it's tapping into a vein of collective energy, it also fulfills the requirement of "free from lust of result" because everyone is doing it because it amuses them.

The way that I think about it is (and this is how a lot of effective practical magic works, in theory) is that you have a boulder sitting on the top of a hill with the potential to move, so you give it a kick.

That doesn't work, so you get a few of your friends to help, and as you keep pushing the boulder, it goes faster and faster... inertia.

Meme magick is magic centered around inertia and building of symbolic complexes. The Lord Kek thing is indicative of the meme complex building into official god sponsorship ™.

It's not hard to explain these phenomena from a naturalistic angle. Ideas replicate and influence behaviors from brain to brain, the internet is symbolic magic made manifest into the material world, if it didn't exist already in the akashic realm.

If Donald Trump gets elected president, I will consider it /pol/'s first actual successful magical undertaking. But it is more blundering through the chaos of the process than specific intent. Now, given that it has an "operation chaos" flavor to it, it's the perfect angle and manifestation to go about it.

It seems as much natural manifestation as anything else. Anonymity, as well, removes from lust of result.

It's quite a thing to behold. I should be taking notes, I may post more on the subject here just to get it put down on a word document or something.

A push =/= complete success. I also said it was chaotic, not directed. Memes, symbol systems, politics is all psych warfare. It's an influence. A combination of influences can give just the push necessary to put something over the edge.

If you can get a twitter hashtag to rise to the top with a few thousand dedicated followers, that's an example of internet memetics in action.

No. you aren't understanding what you're saying. Meme magic works through replacement. Lets say you have a song stuck in your head, and I walk by you humming a different song, which then gets stuck in your head. So you start humming the new song instead. As you walk around humming the new song you get it stuck in several other peoples heads as well, until no one remembers the song you were originally singing
https://youtu.be/ozDSk9XUkrc

Now this is trump we are talking about. Who's been playing politics since the 80's. So pol didn't start Trump. And /pol/ didn't even phonebank for trump, so /pol/ didn't spread trump. They just jumped on board after he was already rising.

This need to feel special about it, about yourself, and giving in to superstition and magical thought is massively unhealthy. I've seen it enough times already, it always ends poorly. Using the word magic as an excuse to take leave of your reasoning and senses is dangerous.

>The black sun, an ages-old image of the darkness in individual lives and in life itself, has not been treated hospitably in the modern world. Modern psychology has seen darkness primarily as a negative force, something to move through and beyond, but it actually has an intrinsic importance to the human psyche. In this book, Jungian analyst Stanton Marlan reexamines the paradoxical image of the black sun and the meaning of darkness in Western culture.

http://getcomics.info/other-comics/promethea-books-1-5/
>Promethea tells the story of Sophie Bangs, a college student from an alternate futuristic New York City in 1999, who embodies the powerful entity known as Promethea whose task it is to bring the Apocalypse.

I found Promethea to be an excellent & aesthetic source as a primer to hermetics & magical philosophy. The artwork is unparalleled & it's a good place to start for anyone who appreciates contemporary semiotics culture.

Nazis wanted to rule the world so they ended up pissing off the occult. Last I heard of Hitler, he was in a bunker somewhere committing suicide. I fear that death was only the beginning of his suffering.

The Sociology of the Paranormal: A Reconnaissance by Andrew M. Greeley
http://www117.zippyshare.com/v/NJTmAZza/file.html

Review by Tim Knepper, 2001 Two themes run through [the text]: First, paranormal experiences are frequent and therefore normal experiences; Secondly, people who have had paranormal types of experiences are not "kooks," but "more emotionally healthy than those who do not have such experiences". As these two themes suggest, Greeley's sociological study of paranormal experiences reads in many places like a valorization or vindication of paranormal experience. Not only does Greeley assert that sociology should pay more attention to such experiences, but he also insinuates that such experiences are more psychologically healthy and ontologically true than ordinary experiences.

Short review by John Michael Greer, 2011: Results and interpretations of a survey of American experience of peternatural and supernatural beings, somewhat statistics-heavy.

According to Abhinavagupta, the aesthetic experience is the manifestation of the innate dispositions of the self, such as love and sorrow, by the self. It is characterised by the contemplation of the bliss of the self by the connoisseur. It is akin to the spiritual experience as one transcends the limitations of one's limited self because of the process of universalisation taking place during the aesthetic contemplation of characters depicted in the work of art. Abhinavagupta maintains that this rasa (literally, taste or essence, the final outcome) is the summum bonum of all literature.
>>
>>17505805
Yeah but I know relatively little about them. I do know there is some historical overlap between the Yezidi and the Sufi. Also, they like coffee, khat, and other plant stimulants. And they're Muslims, and like to spin. Really, that's where my knowledge starts and stops.

Tasawwuf is a mystical understanding of the Quran and the body of Sunnah. Many Sufis practice a looser form of Islam and tend to be less strict with the rules. They hold to a "inner" and "outer" meaning of the scriptures as well as the sayings and doings of Mohammad.

>>17506031
To better explain an earlier question, in regards to why Thelemites like Islam, we have to look at it in depth. Thelemites and Muslims both hold to a book brought by a prophet, a special direction that unites all of them in practice, and that the prophet had a connection to a spiritual being. For Mohammad it was the angel Jibra'il or Gabriel. For A.C. it was his HGA. It is not in doubt that the person of "Aleister Crowley" was familiar with Islam and studied it's teachings and history, because he gives tells both explicit and more subtle. Hell, even Mohammad is a Gnostic saint in the Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica.

Yes, the Resh adorations are similar to salat in that they are time bound.

I PRAISE Thee, God, whose rays upstart beneath the Bright
and Morning Star:
Nowit asali fardh salat assobhi allahu akbar.

I praise Thee, God, the fierce and swart; at noon Thou ridest
forth to war!
Nowit asali fardh salat assohri allahu akabr.

I praise Thee, God, whose arrows dart their royal radiance
o'er the scar:
Nowit asali fardh salat asasri allahu akabr.

I praise Thee, God, whose fires depart, who drivest down the
sky thy car:
Nowit asali fardh salat al maghrab allahu akabr.

I praise Thee, God, whose purple heart is hidden in the abyss
afar:
Nowit asali fardh salat al asha allahu akabr.

It's the zohar cats who insist on prayer at midnight tho

would AC have been aware of that?

AC was aware of some really wild shit that doesn't really get talked about...some lines in Liber L come straight out of Zohar and more obscure materials. DCS kinda implied that as much as he dislikes AC, AC was better educated than his contemporaries in Kabbalah and likely had some really deep down in there sources we haven't really identified yet.

And we do have a midnight prayer;
>Lastly, at Midnight, let him greet the Sun, facing North, giving the sign of his grade, and let him say in a loud voice:
>Hail unto thee who art Khephra in Thy hiding, even unto Thee who art Khephra in Thy silence, who travellest over the heavens in Thy bark at the Midnight Hour of the Sun.
>Tahuti standeth in His splendour at the prow, and Ra-Hoor abideth at the helm.
>Hail unto Thee from the Abodes of Evening.

*64. Let him come through the first ordeal, & it will be to him as silver.
*65. Through the second, gold.
***66. Through the third, stones of precious water.
***67. Through the fourth, ultimate sparks of the intimate fire.

I forget the name of the process DCS talked about, off the top of my head, but the streaming of water's to do with, of course, sexual mysteries, but also the streaming of Gnosis from nude ground phenomena, and the interaction of the higher supernal sephira. The last line has to do with the breaking of our klipotic shells and the transgression of the holy Norms.

Orgasm lady here, I was reading about ayurvedic practices and this woman who couldn't feel anything during sex, then she was touched by a guru and she started laughing and then she could feel sex

There's a lot more to it than that but here:

"My neurosis was fading away with the work I was doing and I became more relaxed, enjoyed dancing a lot, and the spontaneity of childhood came back. At this time my teacher dies and I heard of another realized man, a disciple of Sri Ramana Maharishi, living in the north of India. At the first opportunity.

On my second day of being in his presence my mind blew up completely, a current of energy started vibrating at the base of my spine, then rose up along my back. An immense joy and laughter took hold of me-so much laughter! At the same time my mind was empty. It was funny because there was so much laughter, but i was not the one controlling the laughing. I was only witnessing the laughter. I found out after some time of staying near this man that I had been in touch with my own self. "

What happened to her there and how could I replicate it?

>This need to feel special about it, about yourself, and giving in to superstition and magical thought is massively unhealthy. I've seen it enough times already, it always ends poorly. Using the word magic as an excuse to take leave of your reasoning and senses is dangerous.
To begin with, we are talking about /pol/, a forced memes machine with an hyperinflated ego and sense of importance. They celebrate right wing bloggers are using the word "cuckservative", for God's sake..

Is a bullet shoot by a kid less letal than a bullet shoot by an adult?
The results of magic are still measured by the results, and the nazis on /pol/ tried both, to try magic and to troll others by doing so.

That metaphor is nonsensical in this context.

A more accurate one would be,

Do you think the OMG/core movie list could get it's own place in the archive? Not the movies themselves, just the actual list.

It is my understanding that this was broken down into constituents for upper grade papers.

For Mysteriorum, go into "Class D', and grab ThROA. Then, go into, um, "How to Make Your Own McOTO" pgs 292-300 for a reasonable facsimile of the Mysteriorum, when compared with Pyramidos and Passing Through of Tuat.

Grey & Carroll and I wanted to see how bad Wasserman's essay was. I wanted to see the art, as well, and if the folks contributing that I hadn't heard of were any good.

Grey's written academic material published by uni presses. Carroll's a PhD. mathematician. Wasserman's a cunt but I wanted to see if he had anything of value to say.

The first two authors alone, given their track record of interesting, well received, clearly composed, knowledgeable material, their contribution, coming from a press that also elucidates Afro-Carib systems and other special interest materials, left me interested, so I don't see how that's how one judges middle school fiction, but sure.

Yuh, it's over in the Kabbalah folder. Direct Link:

I checked the 90k file for all the Kabbalah that I know about and don't have but want. He's got fuckall, but a few authors that have written the things I'm looking for, just not the exact books.

Pain in my ass, friendo.

You speak like there are credible cases of Evocations/Invocations/etc beyond normal suggestion.
