Self-improvement rabbit hole and the quest for knowledge and mastery 01/09/19 (Wed) 15:30:31 No. 127326 [View All]
So I ended up here, /fringe/.
From /pol/, through /fit/, to abandoning halfchan altogether, and finding this board while looking for books.
I am looking for knowledge. I want to reach my highest potential, physically, mentally and spiritually.
I've stopped using social media, playing videogames, masturbating, eating anything outside of my strict diet. I started exercising, reading a lot (theory), sleeping on the floor, I use a fluoride filter for water, stopped drinking caffeine, alcohol, any other drugs. And I've ran out of ideas. Currently I'm beginning to meditate and trying out the exercises I found in "Forbidden Parapsychology", which was recommended in one of the threads here.
So, I'm here to ask for book recommendations, practices I can add to my routine, anything that can improve my physical, mental and spiritual health. I just begun my quest for knowledge.
My current booklist is:
>Prometheus Rising
>Quantum Psychology
>Works of Evola and Guenon
>The Will by Atkinson
>Liber Null
>How to Know Higher Worlds by Steiner
>The Kybalion
>Angel Tech by Antero Alli
>The Art of True Healing by Israel Regardie
>Lazy Man's Guide to Relaxation
>The Secret Teachings of All Ages
>works of Gurdjieff, Collin and Ouspensky
>Kali Kaula by Jan Fries
>Science of Breath
>Futhark, A Handbook of Rune Magic
>The Gnostic Bible
>Works of Savitri Devi and Miguel Serrano
Anything worth adding/removing from the list? It's obviously chaotic, as I'm just a beginner.

You know what? I think I get it. I've been in retreats and ceremonies before and I understand how absolutely live-changing some of these experiences can be. And it looks like some people with very little spiritual experience take that and run with it, forming a life philosophy and more on top of that.
I think that's what's going on here.
That or they're scammers, but they look sincere enough to me.
Skimming through the schizophrenically long home page reminded me of the time I was in a ceremony with hallucinogens, and the effect the drug had was to put you in a resolution-enhanced but totally uncontrolled visionary meditation. Unlike the sort of astral or mental voyages an occultist might be accustomed to, this was completely chaotic at the mercy of the shaman and whatever beings were around.
But to the run of the mill soccer mom that attended, this was a life-changing, once in a lifetime experience, and they kept coming back to the shaman for more. Not moving an inch in their personal or spiritual growth after literally hundreds of ceremonies. Totally hooked and dependent.
It sucks, but to each their own. You can't fix everyone.

I've had my fair share of experiences with psychics, healers, courses and meditation sessions. They didn't know what I was even talking about or were obviously just trying to fit it into their dogma by either praising or demonizing it. "Good feels" beginner stuff for the average fool. I am honestly digusted by the occult practitioners and teachers I've ever met.

Read my post again. I strongly urge you to read the Hermetica by Brain Copenhaver. His is ia scholarly translation of the Corpus Hermetica and Asclepius which are considered to be the best today. Also, a kind anon has upload an ebook of the Hermetica 2 by DAvid Litwa, which is also a scholarly translation of Hermetic fragments that also contain the Oxford and Vienna fragments, which were never previously translated until now.
>Greeks
Heraclitus Fragments
Parmenides' On the Order of Nature fragment
Pythagoras - The Pythagorean Sourcebook by Guthrie and Fideller is pretty good and contains commentary from Neoplatonists
Plato
Aristotle
>Neoplatonists
Plotinus, Porphyry, Iamblichus, Proclus, Dionysius, Boethius, etc. There is a good list of recs on /phil/ here >>>/philosophy/6046 I would also add the Chaldean Oracles to that list. De Mysteriis is required reading if you are thinking about practicing magic or theurgy.
>Hindus
Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana, Mahabharata. Standard fair stuff. Bibek Debrory has made unabridged translations of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata (which are very long, might I add). As for schools of thought and commentary, I don't know much about them, but I find Advaita Vedanta to be intriguing. There is a great list of recs here https://warosu.org/lit/thread/11473113#p11473119 and here https://warosu.org/lit/thread/11473113#p11473127
>Buddhism
Bhikku Bodhi has translated a lot of Theravada sutras in English. I hear Lotus, Heart, and the Diamond Sutras get shilled a lot, but I don't know much about them for translations. I also know nothing about Vajrayana.

>Taoists
There are three main texts in Taoism roughly, Tao Te Ching, Zhuangzhi, and Lieh-Tzu.
Tao Te Ching - Here, you have to do some research to find a translation you like. Hall & Ames is good, but can come off as Whiteheadian at times. I also enjoy Ellen Chen's commentary.
Zhuangzhi - Burton Watson's is considered to be the best
Lieh-Tzu - Not as important as the other two, and not discussed as much either. I don't know which translation is good, but I went with Graham.
There are many more Taoist texts besides these three. Fabrizio Pregadio's translations and scholarship are very good. His main focus was on Taoist alchemy (Neidan), but he also wrote an encyclopedia on Taoism. For him, I would start with The Seal of the Unity of the Three, and Cultivating the Tao. Harold Roth translated the Nei-yeh and argues in his book, Original Tao that it predates the Tao Teh Ching, and that Taoism was originally a mystical and meditative tradition. He also translated the Huananzi, which is a collection of texts discussing Confusianism, Tao, cosmology, astrology, and chinese legalism. His unabridged translation is so far the only that exists in English.
>Sufis
Rumi, al-Ghazali, and Ibn-Arabi are the big three Sufi writers.
Ibn al-Arabi - he wrote the Ringstones of Wisdom (Fusus al-hikam) as a concise explanation of Sufi thought
Rumi - William Chittick's scholarship is great. Avoid Coleman Barks translations like the plague.
Al-Ghazali - Also a mystic who wrote extensively. He also wrote an autobiography describing his spiritual journey called Deliverance from Error (al-Munqidh min al-Dalal).

For you I would recommend Mythic Christianity by Atkinson. I myself am trying to read through Srila Prabhupada's English translations of Sanskrit classics. (https://mega.nz/fm/dEomEKKK ) As for the your studies in the Futhark this books was rather interesting ( https://www.othroerirkindred.com/resources/Teutonic%20Magic.pdf ) this last book I recommend to any of my friends who display an interest about metaphysics since it reads like a novel ( https://www.scribd.com/document/336764559/The-Magus-of-Java-pdf )
Srila Prabhupada, Lecture on Bhagavad-Gita 6.6-12 – Los Angeles, February 15, 1969: Even one is illiterate. Even he does not know what is ABCD, he can realize God provided he engages himself in this submissive transcendental loving service. And one may be very learned, high scholar, but he cannot realize God. God is not subjected to any material condition. He is Supreme Spirit. Similarly, the process of realizing God is also not subjected to any material condition. It is not that because you are poor man you cannot realize God. Or because you are very rich man, therefore you shall realize God. No. Because you are uneducated, therefore you cannot realize God, no, that is not. Because you are highly educated, therefore you can realize God. No, that is not. He's unconditional.
Bhāgavata does not mention that this Hindu religion is first-class or Christian religion is first-class or Mohammedan religion is first-class or any other religion. We have created so much, so many religions. But Bhāgavata says, that religious principle is first-class. Which one? Sa vai puṁsāṁ paro dharmo yato bhaktir adhokṣaje (SB 1.2.6). That religion which helps you to advance your devotional service and love of God. That's all. That is the definition of first-class religion. We do not analyze that this religion is first-class, that religion is last-class. Of course, according to, as I have told you, that there are three qualities in the material world. So according to the quality, the religious conception is also created. But the purpose of religion is to understand God. And to learn how to love God. That is the purpose. Any religious system. If it teaches you how to love God, then it is first-class. Otherwise it is useless. You may prosecute your religious principles very rigidly and very nicely, but your love of God is nil. Your love of matter is simply enhancing, that is no religion. According to Bhāgavata verdict: sa vai puṁsāṁ paro dharmo yato bhaktir adhokṣaje (SB 1.2.6). Apratihatā. Ahaituky apratihatā. That religious system has no cause. And without any impediment. If you can reach such system of religious principle, then we'll find that you are happy in all respect. Otherwise there is no possibility.
Srila Prabhupada, Excerpts from the book The Laws of Nature: Whether one accepts or rejects Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's philosophy that every living entity is eternally the servant of Krishna (God) one remains His servant. The only difference is that the atheist is being forced to accept Krishna as his master and the devotee is voluntarily offering Him service. This Krishna consciousness movement is teaching people that they are eternal servants of God and should voluntarily offer Him service. "Don't falsely claim that you are God. Oh, you don't care for God? You have to care". The great demon Hiranyakashipu also didnot care for God and so God came and killed him. God is seen by the atheist as death, but by the theist as lover. That is the difference.
If you are a devotee and understand this philosophy of spiritual life, you can live for a moment or you can live for a hundred years - it doesn't matter. Otherwise what is the use of living? Some trees live for five hundred or five thousand years, but what is the use of such a life, devoid of higher consciousness?

Sadly they don’t give more than a couple of vague clues. But you can piece together the secret of Nei Kung with time. It took me just 3 to 4 years. It’s actually quite simpler than I thought.

I call BS. I read both of those books, they contained more than 20 different tiers of practices, and even to reach 10 levels may easily take one years upon years. However it is very straight forward, and was one of my first handful of serious greenpills back in the freedomboard era.

The problem is not what sources are reputable (in that pic there are a few you shouldn't waste your time on), but which ones will work for you at your current level of development.
It took me some time to get into a state where synchronicity brought me what I needed at each step, and I would be making the same mistake everyone else does if I recommended you whatever I deem relevant to myself at the moment.
However, someone recommended Sane Occultism by Dion Fortune, which I hadn't read, and I think it's a good foundational text.
If you come back asking for more concrete recommendations (are you interested in chaos magick, ceremonial magic, LHP, RHP, Qabbalah…?) then it might make sense to recommend you something. But don't try to accumulate knowledge aimlessly. Find something that calls to you first.

I don't even really know where to begin, I sort of already know a bit of reality shaping through willpower and "Lainism" back on old /pol/, and unarticulated spirit/ghost babble (which is what I'm assuming is the left-hand path or insane occultism). I need a good introduction or unspecialized start because I really don't know what I want or what any of this truly means.

Honestly, most people don't read that thing back-to-back, but it's great to have for reference.
Personally though, I'd definitely recommend reading it back-to-back at some point, even if it's heavy at times. Part 1 is written in layman's terms and easy to understand. The later parts are written in a way that expects the reader to already be somewhat familiar with the Western esoteric tradition, but like I said, keep it for looking up things long enough, and one day you suddenly find yourself getting more out of it than ever expected. At least that has been my experience.

I'm sleeping without a pillow on a hard mattress quite some time now. A pillow is arguably more comfortable for the neck. What irks me however, is that it's impossible for me to lay straight on my back on this mattress and actually relax. It's actually quite exhausting if I am not sleepy and I sometimes I would force myself to lie for hours and experience pain on ankles and elbows.
I wonder what it's like to sleep on the floor and how one would do that properly. I'm kind of deterred by arguably breathing in more dust particles when the room isn't squeaky clean. I did not research on that yet. (Of course one could have something akin to a stone 'bed.) What about sheets? Do you literally sleep on hard ground or do you have a very thin matt? I've only slept on my carpet occasionally.

it depends
i never slept on a floor in a private house for example (only on beds with wooden boards)
but at my flat where i live normally i slept on the floor for more than a decade already
i have normal bed but i just never use it, its comfier to sleep on the floor
i don't really have anything other than old wooden parquet at the corner of the room, i don't use anything to make it softer (at first time it maybe feel too rigid but after a few weeks it feels like like average bed, it doesn't feel rigid at all more like a grass or something)
never had any problems with dust or anything it just don't accumulate where you sleep constantly for some reason
also i use this hard buckwheat pillow for sleeping or sitting, it works magically compared to "normal" pillow because it can hold its shape, never warm, you can form it like you want etc
but i think its all individual, like nobody in my family thinks sleeping on the floor is normal they in fact constantly butthurt about it

Personally?
Removed hundreds of energy blockages, gaining insight on my self along the way
Removed implants from myself and others, healing addictions and cutting loose from energy vampires
Integrated 100+ soul splits/ inner children, healing vast amounts of trauma including past life trauma (this work continues)
Developed my psychic powers and intuition (obvious but should be stated, this is a natural byproduct of more energy)
Gotten rid of at least a handful of ghosts and entities that were in my energy field (lost count, this becomes standard practice at some point)
Healed friends and family - gained agency over things that would be generally considered "out of my control"
Improved finances - doubled income, then tripled, then left that because:
Manifested/ aligned with an opportunity to focus on spiritual practice exclusively
Improved health
Began Mentoring others spiritually
Started relationship with an amazing psychically gifted woman, parted ways amicably
All since starting the course. It's been 4 years or so, my life before the course was a deep sleep in comparison to what it is now. Although, intellectually, I have not learned all that much. I had already soaked that up through my previous reading and searching.
And that's my point - it's the energy and experience that really counts. You've been conditioned by the occult "gain knowledge" paradigm, which is itself largely a cleverly designed distraction for spiritually gifted people.
A friend of mine who started the course less than a year ago recently finished Level 4, owing to his circumstances affording him ample time for spiritual practice.
In that time, he has gone from barely able to function due to all the trauma he's encountered in this and previous lives, to an integrated personality able to communicate with clarity, handle day to day life, and harness his abilities aka psychic talents properly. More importantly, he is a much better person now.
His life has turned around completely in that time, and it keeps getting better.
Plenty of other testimonies on the site, and in the books at the link I posted. I know 2 other EE students in person, so can attest to both their progress and abilities, and so there's no doubt in my mind on any of the other testimonials.
It's really a course for those that are tired of the half-measure spiritual techniques so prominent today, which only kind-of work.

What about the quality of old videos from the 90s is preventing you from absorbing the information?
With the completely cursory attempts at actually checking out the course, and extremely hyperbolic negative responses you all are posting, I'm not convinced you're being genuine.
>>129417
You're really reaching with very limited information here. Actually, the fact that you found yourself in that state from reading the website is a direct result of all the energy you picked up from it. But it rustled up some blockages, so you got wires crossed. Now you've chalked it up as a negative experience.
Try reading a few articles, or even part of one of the books and see how much energy you end up with.
Totally agree about the psychedelic ceremonies, though.

What exactly is it that you expect to learn from a philosophical/ theory-aligned book? If you focus on the intellectual, you'll waste your time away not meditating.
All the proper tantric techniques (energy work) have been removed from the practices in the books that seem to be so highly praised here (coincidence? I think not).
I mean >>129415
got it right. Yes, it's the energy work that you know how to do that matters, pretty much above all else.

You need to know how to get rid of blockages.
To do that consistently, you need to know how to recharge properly as well. Hence, Infinite Samadhi energy. Meaning, learn the Kundalini Kriyas properly, learn how to connect to all the chakras above the head. Without having to wait for years like you do if you get them from Yogananda's SRF or any of the groups that splintered off from that lineage.
And that's literally just the start, Level 1, the groundwork of what makes this such an effective practice. Because Gurdjieffian techniques - passed down orally, not in any of the books - are the foundation of the course, then integrated with all the important things you all probably already know about
(healing the body layers, karma work, connections to others, etc)
Level 2 is how to remove blockages so they stay gone, and practical applications thereof
Level 3 is karma cleaning and shadow work, integrating sub-personalities/ inner children
Level 4 is all about energy connections
There's nothing complex about any of it, but it does require persistence and consistency. Each level builds on the previous.
Look, I get it, the copy is over the top. Keywords and buzzwords are used so that more people see it, and that's taking away from it looking nice and shiny. But I guarantee the techniques work. That's what is most important, otherwise you're feeding your ego.
The website and books are basically just information and energy doled out for free as a public service. Most people can't handle the energy, though I honestly thought you lot would be a little more discerning and able to handle it.
Still, that means that any points you make against the website are null and void. Try this on for size:

You're giving things out for free, and you seem to be providing good information, but ultimately you're still selling something.

1) Not my product, I have used it to good effect so I can confirm it works though. So I'm not biased in the way of directly benefiting from any sales.
In fact, I don't even get so much as a pat on the back for doing this. I really just want to get techniques that work into the hands of people who will better themselves by it. STO stuff, you may or may not understand.
You may have missed it before, but I literally came across EE on one of the previous fringe boards, so I'm also giving back by doing this.
2) What is this whole "everything should be free" meme? Have you never heard of a balanced energy exchange? You get personalized guidance and infinite ability to ask questions of Satchidanand along with the course.
"Just because it's spiritual you shouldn't charge" is one of the most ill-advised thoughtforms out there. It really doesn't even stand up to basic reason.
3) There is one other system that I know of that *actually* works, meaning can take you all the way. It's not free either, actually would be even more expensive by the time you were to get to high levels of practice. I have my reasons for holding that one back, one of which is that EE is far more compatible with this group.
Don't sleep on the PDF. Even if you decide not to do any higher levels, you can benefit a lot from it and at least up your energy and therefore augment your other practices.
Anyway, this is all for whomever is ready. Those that aren't will indefinitely postpone or find reasons not to do it, even when it's free. I have experienced this enough times with people I know personally that I expect nothing less here.
As PDF is available now, thread will be made soon, so questions can be directed to me there (on the practice, PDF, or even general questions).

You get a huge hormonal reward from shilling the nonsense you're emotionally invested in, same as most "STO" egotists out there.

Actually, the ashram is currently in Brazil only, though they can arrange to come to other places to teach also.
Generally, you would need to do the video course remotely first, to learn the techniques, before coming to the ashram for further inner work.
Otherwise, people who have not, tend not to be able to handle the energy of the ashram for very long, even if they genuinely have the intent to better themselves.
sol@energyenhancement.org for inquiries about ashram, video course, etc.
I want to take a moment to say, also, that Satchidanand works with individuals and their particular financial situations to make it fair and possible for anyone who is interested to do the course.
>>130508
Let's take this opportunity to touch upon the fundamental principle that will help you make sense of STO.
When you genuinely help others to evolve, you receive much more divine energy as a result of that, in the moment. Whether it be mentoring, advertising things that work, healing others, etc.
As an aside, taking on others' negative energy and grounding it, a form of "intentional suffering" is a really good source of kundalini energy for yourself as well - even STS practitioners use that technique, though in that case they were also the ones who caused the pain in the first place.
You can use that increased energy to work on yourself, then, so it's essentially boosting your own spiritual practice. Since it should be clear, that energy is the fundamental thing here, and that you need more of it to develop your energy body. Hence, why kundalini is important, why nofap is useful, the whole reason you have a crown chakra, just to name a few examples.
Of course if you're striving for yourself (doing it only for the energy reward/ STS approach), you really won't get very far. Your own energy blockages will get in the way of you doing this, because they can't stand the higher level of energy, and they'll do anything to get you to stop, because they know that more energy leads to their demise, sooner or later. The way this will manifest, is your attention will be diverted to something else, or some egotistical reason will pop into your head to convince you it's a bad idea (fear - "I might get attacked for doing this", competition - "They might become better than me", selfishness, etc.)
The reality is, helping others, if you're capable, is one of the best things you can do, spiritually speaking.
Back on topic, if anyone wants to learn about why most of the things you'll learn via reading are useless, look into Gurdjieff's Beelzebub's Tales to his Grandson. PDF attached.
He really knew exactly how and why humans distort and degenerate any true spiritual teachings, and spelled out several examples of it there (Buddhism being one hilarious example - many of the original prescriptive statements of Buddha were misapprehended, inverted and then attributed to him nonetheless - complete waste of time at this point, other than philosophically).
Because of that, though, he did not do much more than drop a few hints as far as what you need to actually do in his writings. He saved that for his close students whom he taught in person.
So, again, you won't find the techniques there. For now, they're available with Energy Enhancement.

>Halfchan is obvious degenerate crap but here it is much more dangerous.
Imagine the memes people fall for on halfchan /fit/, but instead of doing stupid things with barbells, you do stupid things with malicious interdimensional entities and cosmic forces.

Helps weed out the undeserving. Most every occult book I've read is at least half bullshit conjecture by the author anyway. Fucking with mundanes here is a drop in the bucket.

Why are you posting these shill images that point to a website that immediately redirects to a shady url that would probably install a virus on my computer if I didn't have a script blocker?
And by the way it's pitiful to pretend that you can block curses with the impotent new age hippy bullshit you're pushing. If you're attacked and don't immediately set to completely and utterly destroying your attacker, you're completely at their mercy.
Also if you weren't such a pitiful whelp afraid of metaphysically asserting your dominance over others you wouldn't have to resort to shilling in order to feed yourself. Which ironically is just a cruder, more ineffective form of psychic manipulation.

Exactly. He’s not only trying to manipulate people into his believe system, but on top of that he’s doing it like a coward.
