This is how you change dimensions in the multiverse: 2 pairs of mirrors for space and 2 pairs for time. The first pair is opposite in sign from the current dimension, so it creates a new one. The second pair makes an "U" in space and creates a "U" in time. For example, consider a multiverse where the first dimension is parallel to the second, but where the second dimension changes through a second mirror instead of flipping over from the current dimension.

You move through the mirrors into the dimension you want. The world turns up to twelve inches across, and is populated by portals, dark and sinister-looking, that let you pass through. You move through them, and as the sight of the far end of the world turns into a heady scintillating green of realms and worlds above the mundane, you become aware of something you should have known all along. There is an awful, awful void between the realms you have just entered and the ones you are on. As you move through, however, the void melts away, and your tunnel is replaced by a gleaming golden light as you pass through. As the golden light fades, so too does your tunnel - it has ceased to be a tunnel. You have to make sure to cross into the dimension before the golden light fades! Cannot stress that enough. Enter the portal when the portal is glowing golden again and you'll be fine.

Do we actually know why anything happens and is there any use at all in trying to argue with people about why stuff happens?

I know that mental influence is real and that objects in this universe all exhibit mental properties and that mental laws govern everything; that all is mental. Beyond that I cringe at myself trying to explain too much, again & again. I want to elaborate on what has already been taught and try to make people understand the principles of Hermeticism better but it seems to be an impossible task. You either fully grasp and understand the principles in their true significance, or you don't, and you go back to normie shit.

My best bet at making another human being appreciate what I am into is to practice theurgy for them (and never saying a single word to them about occultism beforehand), stunning their mind by producing the undeniable phenomena of occultism for them to witness and experience for themselves. However the people I've done this for have become no less enlightened (and rather have actually become even MORE annoying and problematic) and I am reminded again of old scriptures where ancient monks had this exact problem and were reprimanded by their teachers for showing off powers.

A normie exposed to theurgy tends to derp-out and start talking a lot of New Age bullshit and falling into thousands of other mental trappings that keep them away from full understanding and power. Lets not even get started on alchemy though, I've already got so panicked by the reactions of normies who think I should make them alchemical potions and give them gold, that I just went into SHUT IT DOWN mode and tried to do everything to get them off of the subject. I've been offered everywhere from $50 to about $5,000 dollars as well by normies attempting to bribe me to do things for them.

I would really like to try and justify and summarize what I believe and WHY I devote my life to philosophy and occultism but I feel myself cringing so many times as I try to do it for other people. If I stick to stating only the principles of occultism and leaving it to them to seek the proofs (through experience) then I will end up saying nothing wrong but I won't be convincing in thPost too long.

I usually have pretty cool conversations in my dreams.

The entities are generally pretty understanding as long as I'm not being a butt. Getting explanations about this reality are difficult though, since we're communicating at a sort of crossroads of consciousness.

>>88627

That's not a claim. The "we are all one" is true. We are a singular being existing beyond all of this. the Ain Soph. We differentiate to create this illusion of separation. All of it, plant, animal, mineral, spiritual, etc. is just us pretending to be separate.

It doesn't make the illusion less substantial, less complicated, or any easier to solve and escape though. But part of the path of return is becoming aware of the fact that we are indeed all one, even while believing we are separate entities.

MAGIC IS EXPLAINED BY THE ETHER.

Ether, the fifth element, is a substance more subtle than air. This means the ether is to air as the air is to the earth. When you gaze into the blackness of outer space you are observing the ether and this can attune your mind to the ether. The ether exists all around us. Physicist Sir Oliver Lodge wrote about scientific explanations of the ether.

SINCE THE ETHER PERMEATES ALL THINGS AND INTERCONNECTS ALL MINDS, IT IS THE ETHER THAT ALLOWS MAGIC RITUALS AND PRAYERS TO AFFECT REALITY, prayers and magic rituals create ripples in the ether and affect what we are focusing on.

The ether allows intuition to work. Intuition is receiving information directly by way of pure impressions by bringing our attention to something. If you close your eyes and think about outer space you may eventually experience thoughts come to your about outer space that provide you information about outer space, without having to perform a set of logical operations. If you look at someone you may have ideas come to you about that person, spontaneous ideas, that communicate you knowledge about that person, but you didn't have to perform logic to get that knowledge. Intuition is simply information coming to you spontaneously just by bringing your attention to something, and this happens because the ether allows this information to be transported by the fact it connects all things and the ether is a sort of information field and our minds are like antenna that can broadcast and receive etheric signals.

Sir Oliver Lodge provides a scientific basis for the existence of ether and he mentions isaac newton did an experiment to prove the existence of the ether. Below are links to his work.

Relativity is bullshit and you're clearly a fucking brainlet midwit that doesn't even understand what he claims to. Relativity is based on the false assumptions that time is real, space has properties, and that it is known what light is. But you wouldn't know any of this because you don't know shit about relativity to begin with.

Can we have a thread to discuss the implications of quantum mechanics? To begin with, some things which are widely accepted in the theory

>things can exist in superimposed states, in which they are neither one thing or the other, but the two at the same time

>the evolution of these superimposed states is deterministic and given as a solution of the Schrödinger equation, except…

>…if you try to measure something, in which case the wave function collapses the system presents to you as one definite state

>this gives rise to the "measurement problem", which is a hole in the theory that one could interpret as placing conscious beings apart from the physical reality

>the act of measuring can also change the past of a particle, even if you are observing a photon which has been traveling for billions of years before reaching you (see Wheeler's delayed choice experiment)

All this seems really odd to me, like it's pointing towards something transcendent about reality. And if that wasn't enough, one could argue: why do we ourselves always assume definite states? If other things require conscious entities to look at them in order to take a state, then each of us has to be constantly observed by an external consciousness in order to exist, which could be what people have always recognized as "God".

Hi /fringe/,

I come to you with a simple question: What is the most direct way to experience something that will break my materialist view of reality once and for all? I want to experience something that my worldview says is impossible.

I do not want to use drugs, as I am seeking an experience that can be (at least theoretically) validated by an outside source. An example would be to evoke poltergeist activity.

Please let me know what I can do. I am open to any method other than drugs, providing the method is ethical and does not spiritually risk my loved ones.

Furthermore, would there be karmic baggage associated with attempting to carry out a procedure like using a ouija board as this poster suggested? >>119525

I will post results for anyone interested. If it is feasible to record results I will also do so, however I am aware of the supposed trickster nature such phenomenon that suggests recording devices may be useless or counterproductive.

The chaote is right, but has committed an even bigger issue. Doing these sorts of invocations and elemental breathing techniques isn't for undeveloped beginners.

If you haven't built up your constitution, and have a good knowledge of your own inner workings, you can fuck yourself up mentally and/or emotionally.

And then for the triple-whammy, he hasn't included the expiration, or banishment, which means that whatever element or symbol was invoked, will remain invoked and unbalance the individual potentially for the rest of their lives.

So, our friendly chaote: 1. Tells a fedora to build up massive amounts of differential chaos until he starts having psychotic breakdowns and seeing shit, 2. doesn't mention the requirements for this stuff, and the severe consequences of not meeting them, and 3. abandons the fedora in the shadow realm for the rest of his life.

So, just a chaote being a chaote. The best part is that the fedora, having read this, will now most likely try to prove it to be bullshit, and do it anyway.

I did not know there was an explicit term for this kind of reasoning but I think I've been modelling reality with retroduction probably for as long as I was able to. In other words, eliminating all of the impossibilities of a situation and then looking at the shape that remains, then filling that shape with what seems to fit. Perhaps if we think of reality as a constant work in progress, this is the only way of truthseeking that makes sense.

I have to ask where has retroduction led you?

>>135610

I must say, last night I did have the explicit reality of "I feel as though I am being watched here and now" while I was in my room. Not in a malicious way but in a plain factual way. To me, this was true and real emotionally. When I tried to reduce the experience to pure physical observation, I found that feet felt cold (like a stereotypical sign of a ghost) but this does not do the feeling justice. It gets tricky at this point, As I'm typing this I also just saw a glowing shape near the edge of my vision, but it appeared in the same way that you might get hypnagogic visuals or flashes from nerves firing. In other words, it's hard to tell whether the visual was generated by my body or whether it happened outside of it. Have you (or anyone reading) had this experience of visuals occurring with the same nature as this?

And about yoga, I've never tried physical stances. I've focused on what I'd read in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras (especially concerning the process of samyama). Honestly I am in dire need of a physical element to my work.

They tend to do things like this. There is no need manifesting with physical light/shape if they can get away with manipulating your perception of reality, it's less energy consuming. This is also supposed to be a poltergeist. There seemed to be a group of them conveniently showing themselves as you started this thread, I invited one other of them to my place. Compared to previous ones, this one is pretty active. Making sounds in the kitchen when I'm in the next room, banging on radiators, flipping pages in my piano course book… Yeah it's just the wind, and things fell and caused sounds. But if you mentally accept that this sudden increase in unrelated weirdness may have a specific source, reality changes.

I've been thinking for a couple weeks now about how I can undermine my faith in Christianity and this is the best I can come up with, listed in order of importance for me:

1. The foreskins issue. The whole foreskins thing doesn't sound like the inspired word of God but the barbaric superstitions of a desert tribe. Most of the Bible lives up to the hype but the foreskins obsession then really undermines it all for me. I'm not sure how mutilating the dicks of your conquered slaves and your baby boys is a suitable way to represent a covenant between your people and God. Christ comes along later and speaks about the circumcision of the spirit but it seems like he (because he does claim to be the god of the old testament) pretty explicitly commanded the ancient Israelites to be circumcised of the flesh. Why didn't the God of the Bible just, right from the start, ask that they be circumcised of spirit? The story would read better if this was asked of the Israelites and they then ignored God and circumcised the flesh instead. However I'm pretty sure God asked that the flesh be circumcised and they obeyed.

2. Revelations. It barely fits with the rest of the Bible, it is commonly interpreted as having something to do with an event to unfold in linear time instead of an event to unfold in the life of every believer, and depending on how you interpret Revelations you can get wildly different gospel messages; and everyone I talk to seems to have a completely different interpretation of Revelations.

3. Genesis. Wasn't this story written down originally in hieroglyphs? It is really hard to understand. Not as hard as Revelations I think but still it has a bazillion different interpretations too, all of which are interesting, but none of which can be a solid foundation for me to stand upon.

4. The many names of God. Yes these are interpreted as like divine personalities, different facets of the one God, like in Hinduism where Trimurti is the supreme godhead and every other divinity is some facet of the One. However it appears to me that religion simply evolved out of Polytheism and they just conquered a lot of tribes and integrated their Gods and eventually developed the Monotheistic worldview. I have seen a talk from InspiringPhilosoPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

The last thing I'll say regarding your Absolute Truth is how do you know it's the absolute truth unless you've looked deeper. "Do not put your God to the test!" I'm not putting God to the test. I'm putting the jews and King James to the test.

>You have been banned from /christian/ for slandering the KJV.

Fun Fact about King James from Wikipedia.

>inb4 reeeee wiki is fake

"Under James, the "Golden Age" of Elizabethan literature and drama continued, with writers such as William Shakespeare, John Donne, Ben Jonson, and Sir Francis Bacon contributing to a flourishing literary culture.[1] James himself was a talented scholar, the author of works such as Daemonologie (1597)

<Daemonologie

The MAN (NOT GOD) who had a part in deciding what went in and what didn't get into your Bible was also a skilled sorcerer and necromancer. I bet they forgot to tell you that at Church.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemonologie

If good King James were alive today, he'd probably be a regular /fringe/ poster tbqhwyf. :^)

I want to add though that James, after learning everything he could about the subjects, believed in it so much that he had all the wizards and witches wiped out. So, for James to learn the truth about witchcraft, he studied it himself. (Then he burned them all at the stake.)

Yeah. Seems that way, huh? After all the witch hunting was done, they eventually employed John Dee, but that was "okay" because he uses white magic. And so the British Empire was born. I'm sure the Royals still use magick today, but they don't want people to know about it. Probably the reason why James removed Enoch from the Bible. Too much Angel stuff in that book.

Pretty much, except James wasn't the one who excluded Enoch from the canon. If you look at Orthodox bibles, which are basically the original texts as they were once the Bible was compiled, Enoch is still not included, and remains a separate book.

I think the reason for that lies more in how Enoch presents a different initiatic path, which is largely unachievable for modern people, while the New Testament basically supersedes it in every way. It's very important as a study text, but doesn't contribute to the spiritual core that the Bible represents, and is therefore not included. This is why other apocryphal texts from the same period are also left out, and treated as separate entities.

You shouldn't ree too hard about what is and isn't in the Bible, as it was never considered to be the Word of God by the people who compiled it. That whole interpretation is a Protestant innovation, the Word of God always referred to Christ, and while all the books in the Bible are directly inspired by the Holy Spirit, they aren't the only ones.

Time for an Advaita thread.

What is Advaita? It's just about the most based system of mysticism/metaphysics/esoterism ever

TLDR:

>from the 9th-8th century BC onwards all the way down to the early first millenium AD the Hindu Upanishads and many other texts like the Bhagavad-Gita were composed, all containing ideas that some describe as monism, idealism, neoplatonism, panentheism etc but nobody exactly agrees on what the meaning is

>All these different schools of Hindu philosophy and non-Hindu schools of thought (including Buddhism) largely emerge out of the context of the ideas contained in the Upanishads and the themes they discuss viz their metaphysics, cosmology, ontology, etc

>It's taught in Vedanta that Brahman exists forever as eternal bliss that is forever at rest, forever contented, without need of anything; what purpose what motion or activity play here?

And yet our experience is a proof of the existence of motion and transmigration.

>When all desires are satisfied, when there is no hole in one's heart that needs to be filled, what could be the point of activity, there is nothing that activity would add to this other than being a needless distraction.

So how did this universe came into being? If the eternal Brahman is not endowed with the capacity for action then nothing could have ever happened, including the perceived differentiation into objects and subjects, which is our condition. Conversly - any action could not have taken place either - including dropping of wrong views regarding the Self.

>That term applies far more to non-dual teachers like Ramanuja and Abhinavagupta (even though I do respect them) who preached non-duality but who weren't willing to take up the ascetic/renunciate lifestyle and would come up with justifications why it wasn't needed.

Why would non-dual teachings require renounciation? On the contrary - if the whole of reality is an expression of yourself then what would you renounce and for what reason? Everything is equally permeated with divine consciousness, if something was more sacred than other then it would make a doctrine preaching such a thing dualistic.

>Shankara was the one who actually practiced what he preached by living as a possessionless monk

Abhinava never preached a necessity for not having possessions (on the basis of scriptures) so you can't say that he was a hypocrite. On the contrary - he fully embodied his teachings and was a realized master in many lineages of Tantra, posessing many siddhis and leading countless others towards enlightenment. If he were a possessionless monk - that would be hyprocritical.

"The individual soul is a cognizer, a conscious agent, who consists of everything [that arises in its sphere of experience]; therefore, as the Spanda-kārikās teach, "the state that is not Consciousness does not exist in words, thoughts, or things," whether past, present, or future. The real meaning of this verse is that everything has God as its real nature. – And since it is so, the conscious perceiver is an active *experiencer* who exists as the feeling-state of the given object of experience, yet remains the same, neither lessened nor increased, at all times and in all loci of experience, such as the various tattvas and worlds. Nor can any object of experience whatsoever be something separate from its experiencer. So the Spanda-kārikā verse (2.4) establishes that in actuality there is no difference whatsoever between Śiva and the individual soul. Thus, one should not think oneself incomplete or imperfect with regard to any state of the body, mind, etc. On the contrary, one should know “My essence-nature is Śiva, undivided Awareness, in the form of this very state.”"

Pythagoras was the first philosopher. The term means "one who is trying to find out".

Prior to him, there were only sages. A sage is "one who knows".

The sage attains his knowledge directly. Direct knowledge is called "gnosis", which is achieved through direct mental contact with the thing itself.

The philosopher uses reason, symbolism, geometry, systems, etc. to explain the world and to convey knowledge to himself and to others. He conceptualizes, rationalizes, and understands. He is able to convince and to think clearly.

The sage however can only point the way concerning his kind of knowledge. He can say "find out for yourself" or "do this thing and you too will know as well". That is the limit of what he can share with others. You could describe the properties of red light to someone in various terms that will make sense of them but the direct experience of actually perceiving red light is another matter.

A philosopher can predict future events. A sage can know them. The philosopher can explain how he forms his predictions and what models he uses and what facts he takes into account. The sage simply dares to look into the future of a man and tell him what he is going to do.

Most of what I have done over the years is to philosophize. To understand, formalize, conceptualize, and clarify the mechanics of magick. I have focused on matters such as the nature of the self, the will, causality (superdeterminism), and so much more. All the time seeking to prove, rationalize, and explain.

This is all well and good. Philosophy is necessary to a certain stage of life and nothing to be scorned then. It becomes something to be grown out of however, after having attained clarity through that route, and having seen its end. Then to continue on in the path of philosophy is to stifle the path of gnosis.

This distinction has become abundantly clear to me. I have at my disposal nothing short of omniscience. I can make contact with thatPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

My philosophy is related to porn. I'm a philosopher, so I have a feeling about porn. I like the way philosophy deals with sexual issues. I was already considering buying sex toys, but my girlfriend doesn't buy things just because you suggest it. But I can't use it, so instead I download it.

The original theory was that sex toys might be the highest quality stuff on the market, but in reality, the homemade stuff is usually better. That's why I'm a little hesitant.

Since it's my girlfriend, I think she'd do better to do her own thing. But I don't feel like I have a lot of choice, so I just decided to look into it.

My girlfriend whittled a dildo from wood and that I sometimes use as a sex toy. She's pretty professional and has a kind of Eastern European feel to her, but also makes me feel really badass for being willing to do something like this for her.

One evening I was hoping to watch a screening of a documentary about men who need other men to perform fellatio for them. I wasn't particularly keen on talking about my own duties in the bedroom. "No, that's fine, I don't talk about that sort of thing." I was telling the truth, but it had been so long since I had worked it out that I didn't know whether to trust my lies or not.

She came strolling out the bathroom wearing a strap-on with a wooden phallus on it. It had straps on the sides, and at the end she was wearing a strap on her stomach. I don't remember her face. As I was kneeling behind her, playing with her tits, she bent over to pick something up off the floor. I looked up and saw the wooden phallus she was wearing. It was hard and shiny, the sort you'd see an urban farmer playing with in his hand. It was screwed onto her, with a click. But it wasn't the wooden plug it's always been. I figured if she got turned on by the sight of the phallus she'd fuck it after she got done with me.

But it all cleared up a month later and we've been back to normal. The one time she did some stitches andPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Rephrase/recontext:

when i'm in my most advanced zone, i am the witness. the ultimate "spiritual method" is the simplest: the letting go of attachment to all ego positionalities.

While ascending the spiral staircase, i am constantly refracted and re-refracted through all of the relative concepts i cling to and all the limiting concepts with which i identify as my sense of self.

While re-passing through these concepts there is a seductive tendency to philosophize and make something out of nothing and masturbate masturbate masturbate with these (relatively interesting but absolutely meaningless) concepts. cue the compulsive desire to articulate and explain to others and assume the role of philosophizing guru.

This too must be let go and released into oblivion along with every idea and limited concept i insist on clinging to about mySelf. How difficult this is to do is mathematically equivalent to my desire to masturbate with the tender agony of false concepts and egoic position reinforcement.

So i’ve spent time researching faiths and searching for truth and came to this conclusion

Islam = Debunked by the Gog and Magog story

Judaism = Debunked by fossils showing life existed longer than 6000 years

Christianity = *see Judaism*

Gnosticism = Bunch of Copied and Syncretized bollocks

New Age = Garbage, spiritual colonialism

Buddhism = Liberal cucks fetish

Taoism = Liberal cucks fetish

Hinduism = Sophisticated Liberal cucks fetish

Neopaganism = MMORPG

So in the end I’ve settled on Neoplatonism

Is there something I didn’t research, have you guys any opinions on Neoplatonism, let me know!

I'm a follower of Plato and Plotinus as well and I'd like to share this with you. The timeless doctrine we have is not limited to a particular faith, dogma or sect, a Christian or a Buddhist or Muslim can reach the height of the beautiful mountain (or at least get very close to the top) if they practice the esoteric/internal aspect of their own faith diligently. Since what matters is the pursuit of virtue and the seeking of God (the One) anyone who follows an orthodox faith, who purifies themselves and meditates//prays often already has the potential for uniting with the One.

Here's an anecdote about Plotinus and Origen recounted by his student, Porphyry. Origen was a christian theologian yet Plotinus had great admiration for him.

"Neoplatonism" isn't a faith. The Neoplatonists were "pagans", then many famous Christians, Jews, and Muslims were Neoplatonists as well. You can be a Neoplatonist and practice any religion. Religion is tradition/culture and the exoteric of it is a necessary component of society as it leads the hylics to God and virtue.

Please help me get rid of my phobia of phone calls.

I need to make an important call but I just can't. Even the thought of it makes me nauseous.I am okay calling family members but when I have to make appointments or call strangers I just shut down.

When I even think about making the call I feel this weird block that I can not explain, almost like occult in nature (that's the reason I post here). Why do I feel this way? I don't know. Ya all got any tips to remove this block for real? Or just get rid of social phobia in general?

If you are wondering I have family and friends, they consider me easy going and friendly but they don't have any idea how nervous I am in some situations.

I am not joking, this is for real, I am afraid of phone calls and it makes my life miserable because I have to make some important calls.

Try picking up a phone right now with the intent to call a random business in your area and ask them about a product. Freeze and let your mind go empty with the phone in hand and wait for impressions to arise in the mind. Tell me what you observe comes up in your mind.

> Try reading books and recording that if you find it too hard.

I recommend this also I have a phobia of talking in general that took me years to get over because I lived isolated way too long and I just had to stand around in a public area at a busy market and very gradually come out of it. Narrating books helps you get used to talking and that then extends to being able to relax more in conversations with people.

Also something that helped too is I experienced some embarrassments (e.g. going to a public gym and in the lock room people get undressed totally naked, I had to just do it and get my swim suit on, and eventually after a couple times I stopped thinking about it when I realized all the old men around me don't give a fuck) and that kind of stuff helped shift something inside of me that made my anxiety around people less.

Another thing to try is sit around with a bum on some street and talk to him for hours. This also helps come out of the shell.

The more and more you can put yourself in increasingly "dangerous" situations where you are worried about being judged or whatever eventually you can tune the anxiety down and stop caring.

Same with job interviews, skype is hell for me, voicenotes are difficult. I would much rather go to an office but thats not at all how it works nowadays in my field, is all contract long distance work.

I have this problem lately with talking to people with emails and the worst thing is I feel they are ghosting me talking less and less and just ignoring my emails.

See, I told you to make the fucking call from the start because I knew you would ignore all the effortposts aimed at helping you by giving you exercises, rationalization and tools.

No one was saying otherwise. Feminine energy itself is fine, the problem is women, and likewise men. Mankind has simply devolved into depravity for the most part. Both men and women are degenerate now, it's just that this community places more emphasis on how women have degenerated in the hopes of improving the state of men, among other reasons stated ITT.

Why do almost all Tarot decks suck nigger cock?

It's unbelievable the pile of shit that one has to dig through, resulting in still finding nothing valuable.

I maintain that the only two interesting Tarot decks are Marseille (specifically, under Camoin-Jodorowsky's restoration) and Crowley's.

The first is undoubtedly a hyper-complex traditional book of meaning, yet always remaining consistent in its basic rules: left/right orientation, colours, aiming of the sights… most of which even Crowley failed to grasp.

If one wants to venture out of these safe grounds, he'll find countless of extremely low-effort decks, most likely traced on Rider-Waite's one, whose ubiquitous popularity is a clear sign of the Kali Yuga -as with its disgustingly explicit symbols and switching places of the Major Arcana to fit bizarre astological theories, it's clearly one of the worst decks out there.

/fringe/, there must be something I am blind to: which Deck do you personally use? Which ones do you recommend?

Do you use it for readings or just for visualization?

Did you remember to have it gifted to you and not buy it yourself?

How did you consecrate it before starting to use it?

The best deck I've ever used is called "The Eternal Tarot". It uses the true order of the Tarot which is the Fool as the 21st, Strength as 11 and Justice at 8, as Eliphas Levi secretly revealed. Readings should be done at an altar with lit candles, an upright pentagram, and the seal of the sign of the cross.

Next best deck is Thoth deck but be careful with it as its easily turned into black magic.

I suppose that makes my progresses with the Rider-Waite as a beginner with accuracy from the first reading something worth looking back on. I haven't interacted with any cartomancy in a while.

I post because I originally thought that the Rider-Waite was as close as I could get to the old stuff while using money. I suggest that the perspective of the user also has an impact on the readings - the person who expects to have a less accurate reading will get that additional inaccuracy. Before even starting with the Tarot in a first reading by that deck, I invested time meditating with individual cards, and researching the meaning of the symbolisms that were present. I think I spent a few weeks doing this before diving in.

This being said, I'm more inclined to experiment with both before drawing any conclusions for my personal means.

Why do you two prefer the Jodorowsky rendition of the Marseille deck in particular?

I use the marseille, thoth and rider-waite. I also have a few oracles. In actuality, you can do divination with anything, so it doesn't matter if the deck is shit as long as you aren't so triggered by it you are unable to hear it speak.

>Don't let any masturbatory bleakness tell you differently

The world outside must also not be left without hope. As can be seen by the following quote, our highly advanced technology has allowed humans to explore space and beyond, conquering every unexplored corner of our planet. In this, many are brought together, ready to reach the stars with what they have learned in this new frontier of space travel.

What does that imply for the future of humanity? By its nature, space travel is bound to be extremely harsh, which makes it a no-brainer that we'll look to the future to try and survive all the hardship and tragedy that it may entail. Does this mean that the human race can look back and look at the troubles of the past and move past the distant moons of dying planets?

You won't find any wisdom from the /pol/ crowd. You're better off with the greenpill reading list, if you want to go forward rather than backward.

>Q is in all probability a psy-op to make people complacent and put their hopes into a fictional Q to save us all.

They have certainly played this well by playing on people's ego's to enlist their support for the war on terror and their old economical methods which have allowed us to enjoy the lavish lifestyles we have today (gas, luxuries and. health care) without having to bother to learn about all the injustices and petty daily injustices that go on in our daily lives. There is no Q, at least no candidate with a presidential level platform or vote counting that is going to even consider ending the war on drugs and ending the fact that we have two separate forms of banking system.

That is the real Q that is at play behind the democratic world's naivete about technology, in the era of Donald Trump's promotion of populist nationalism. What has happened in Silicon Valley is not inevitable. It is the product of e-democracy and its openness, and the first generation of good engineers who saw that it could be automated and empowered. Today's technology will just keep getting better and better; the world will keep getting bigger and richer and more powerful, and the scale of that power will only get bigger.

reminder that the Hermetic literature is the Corpus Hermetica and the Divine Pyromander, not some 20th century new age spiritualist bullshit like the Kybalion.

For a second there I thought you were an obvious troll.

But now I got the feeling you're not.

Look, what you are experiencing is called mental masturbation. You can be excused from falling for Atkinson's own egolatry at first, but keep at it and you'll become a clueless poser.

The Kybalion is a derivative work. A rewording of another book so it was more palatable to the public of the time. He was basically the equivalent to today's new age youtubers, which I often find informative and useful, don't get me wrong.

>In 1884, Anna Kingsford, an Englishwoman who founded an organisation called the Hermetic Society, published a book entitled The Virgin of the World of Hermes Trismegistus, which presents an adaptation of the Hermetic texts. As Greer points out, the introduction to this book bears a strong similarity to many of the ideas in The Kybalion. And in fact the introduction to The Virgin of the World, written by Kingsford’s associate Edward Maitland, does contain a number of things that are echoed in The Kybalion.

This book, The Virgin of the World, is what the Kybalion pretends to be and where it takes most of it's rehashed info from: https://sacred-texts.com/eso/vow/index.htm

All words, being dual, are lies that act as metaphor for Truth. Truth is infinite and thus is impossible to put into finite words. It is foolish to get upset over the use of one metaphor over another, they are all lies. It is up to the practitioner to use them correctly to reach the Truth.

oh my god thank you finally ive been wondering where the real source came from and what exactly is so hermetic about the godmaned Kybalion

though this still leaves an etymological study to be desired

And if you were to believe something that makes a dog poop or your piss gold in the street and it is truly divine, you can not get in deep enough to find it. And thus there is a double standard: The domain of the Ego is pure philosophy, while the realm of reality is a shared hallucination produced by the brain. This is the definition of the Very Lie, the common denominator between all religions, thus The God That Fights Monsters.
