The Self-Object

Relaxation and patience through pain without seeking any cures will resurrect our self-object. With the self-object intact, you will gain the ability to care for, understand, protect and love yourself. You will feel whole and valuable. Your creative and social power will rekindle. Your seeking and loving instincts will be transformed to intellectual and will power. As you merge in awareness, your life will gain more meaning and momentum. 

When In Doubt: Relax

Relaxation is the most important tool of the Aspirant in making progress on the Path. Face all the unconscious material that surface during relaxation, and do not change focus due to pain or anger. Let life flow within you, instead of outside you in a materialistic way. Don't count the hours or days. If you are in doubt, if you feel like you have lost the meaning, just relax. Let life provide the answers, motivations, situations and the new questions. Manifest your Spirit by relaxing. You will be amazed at the new Force this will bring to your Life, which will organize your Life, as well as protect it. Let submission be your rebellion.  'The Lazy Mans Guide to Relaxation' (1983) by Israel Regardie is a good resource for studying relaxation techniques.

The Work of an Adept (5=6 Grade)

Image
The work of an Adept is centered around meditation. To get into a meditative state is the rejection of the mundane Self, which many authors refer to as the 'ego', in order to squeeze out the Elementals that feed on the Spirit. When the Spirit touches the flesh (Earth elemental) without interference, an arc is generated that brings Divine Light to the depths of Chaos, while also giving it will-Power. I have explained this phenomenon in the metaphorical sketch of the 'Spirit machine' below. To be able to reach this meditation, requires the acceptance of and submission to Destiny. The Devas are responsible for accumulating the intense will-Power that is generated by the Spirit. Men cannot hold on to his Power yet, in the 5=6 grade. This System can be sustained 'forever', as the Devas will eventually assist the Initiate with growing opulence and comforts to ensure his Service. The Devas survive on pure will-Power. For them to gain even the basic Life and awareness,

 The continuation of my hypotheses on the Theory of Magic. The Organized World I don't want to sound like a control freak, but there really is a Divine Will that gets reflected on the World through the mediation of the Magician. In Fig. 1, I have attempted to give an outline of the 3 main states of the Magical Mind. The most common Magician in our age is the one which has completely identified with the 'I'. The 'I' is the rational problem solver part of the Self. The problem solver acts as a fountain of Divine Wisdom, thereby creating 'Intelligent Chaos'. Intelligent Chaos can be thought of as the Chaos community that takes shape from the fragments of wisdom spilled out by the Magician tuned to the wrong frequency. This happens completely in the unconscious, but can be traced as some part of it is verbal. I term this as 'Black Magic'. It also explains why 'Black Magic' is always an attempt at it, but never the accomplishment. If the Magician

Theses

 I am now in a position to state some important Theses, thereby propose an update to our Ethics. Family and Education Love is a palliative cure. We need Love in our Society because of the many conditions that cannot be treated. It is not yet possible to bring humanity into harmony. There are also health conditions and conditions from birth, that can be prevented only in the next Aeon through the use of Mind techniques.  We place a lot of emphasis on the ideal Family which is a source of love and understanding for the family person. This is not a strong position due to two factors. Number one is that many people are not interested in loving their family members. They find themselves in a family system through confusion or coercion. They may not have the strength to accept that they are interested in family. This can lead to abusive and controlling family structures as a means to protect the integrity of the person who did not want family in the first place. The second problem is that Lo

The Two Worlds - Part I

 I offer my opinion of the subjective experience of the Portal and magical powers. The Two Worlds The inner and outer orders exist together within the same Spiritual field. Initiated and non-initiated agents share similar characteristics. On one side of the coin, the Initiated face a challenge in processing the large amounts of irrelevant sensations that are leaking from the non-Initiated world. On the other side of the coin, the non-Initiated struggle to lead their world in their terms. The power relationship between the two orders is not connected to a specific interaction. It builds up involuntarily, thereby making the Initiate an agent of Divine Will, with specific compensation, but no say in the development of things. The Two Worlds exist side by side. The Subjective Experience of the Conduit The Initiate is completely disconnected from World I as a result of the Portal grade. It can be argued that he never belonged or operated in that world in the first place. There is a special

Following the Ritual lifestyle will eventually land the aspirant in the Inner Order. In this post, I comment about the nature of Consciousness in the Inner Order. Affinity and Analysis Few mindsets can hold in the face of analysis, and this is more so for the Mind of the aspirant traversing the Inner Order paths. It is very probable that the junior Magician will start identifying himself with ideologies, historical movements, or beliefs that might contradict with his reason. It is even possible that he will end up with sympathies towards thoughts systems that are inherently materialistic and anti-spiritual. Hence, I chose the heading. On the surface, the Magician will be surprised to feel attracted towards distracting and non-magical concepts. However, by now he can distinguish between petty zeal and the directives coming from the Higher Genius. Therefor, he is supposed not to analyse his situation or try to reconcile opposites. The unity of reasoning can only be achieved once all the
