Because it worked. We stopped because we realized a symbolic replacement or even just a visualization worked instead. Animal sacrifice was a progression from sacrificing prisoners of war to the local god of war. In Hawaii they went from human sacrifice to using fish as a substitute, to whatever else. The blood and flesh of christ is another symbolic example. The idea is to bring the teacher into you just as yogis meditate on the guru's uniting with them. They also use symbolic representations of blood and flesh.

It looks cool.

Idk but I eat blood sausage and my power level is insane. Mind is super clear.

The answer to that is everything here, as far as can be experienced, is your mind, a projection you are creating that appears external but is internal. When you fixate your mind on certain results, strange things sometimes happen that make those results more likely. Wizards say this system is powered by loosh, some say it's powered by positive karmic actions or meditations and some say it's powered by god's grace. So what op is really asking is how does mental energy function in general, because animal sacrifice is just another dream-like illusion that we ascribe false meaning to within the dream-like illusion we mistakenly call reality.

But I doubt op is ready to understand all that, you know?

That directly contradicts my own experience. Removing something from yourself doesn't make this thing disappear for anyone else, just the simple fact of acknowledging other people negates the idea of everything being internal. There might be a certain kind of fate that compels others and yourself into doing what is both familiar and necessary for your existence, if this date is self produced or compelled by an external being, but that in itself wouldn't negate new experiences, nor would either scenario of there being the internal with no external or there being both be distinguishable by this type of fate alone.

Experience with lucid dreaming has helped me understand how the mind works, willing people to no longer exist through conscious and rational realization of being in a dream and having control over your own mind, but the realization that I experienced was of how people look and act through my conception of them. Real people do not act in the archetypal way my mind conceives. There are factors and actions that they commit that I don't understand, and that factor is enough to convince me that I experience things that do not originate from the internal processes of my brain or spirit.

Animal sacrifices, since they involve a sentient being, a more powerful than imagination could be. Just the simple action of someone resenting you can produce negative affects to you.

To answer the op I don't think there's an explicable mechanistic explanation for why sacrifices work. If it doesn't involve something symbolic, or the connection to something spiritual, it wouldn't be an explanation for anything. Perhaps at most you'd be describing an animal being killed, that's it. So you're looking at this from the wrong angle, if the intent is to understand.

truth

First post simple truth post. Do you know why is that blood has so much energy though? Because it is the interface between the etheric and the physical bodies.

The etheric body is anchored within the center of the heart.

Your bump made me reflect on my "power in the blood" comment and think more into it. I think most of us here agree that the "spark" of energy or electricity that makes us "think therefore we are" is our soul or spirit. Without it, we'd be nothing more than a blob of flesh and soon to rot. That's the "spark" of life. It's true, scientifically, that this electricity is responsible for the machine or vehicle that is this enchanted meat shell that houses us. As you said, spot on…

>"it is the interface between the etheric and physical"

Every human is filled with all of the trace minerals and precious metals to make a semiconductor. Our bodies generate this spark of "life" or at least keep the "battery" charged for a while. Something as minor as an electrolyte imbalance in the blood can lead to death. We're a finely tuned machine. The blood is an interface to the spark of life, our life force, our soul, our spirit, and what lies beyond the physical. There really is power in the blood.

Interesting science stuff related-ish.

i get that there is power in the blood, but i dont believe that its just a mind trick and it can be substituted with any old thing, a fish instead of a human, flowers instead of meat, etc. those are all speculations. i dont think the advaita "its all a dream lol ur sacrificin youself hahaha" is a good enough explanation either. they say why they did it, because it pleased "the gods". it was a transactional thing, it was quid pro quo. does anyone understand the mechanics of how it had to be done and why?

>>137272

This doesn't mean anything. You're just asserting without saying anything meaningful or new. Why repeat yourself?

polite sage

Thanks for sharing with me, anon. I've watched a few interviews with Dr Cowan and really intrigued. Hopefully I can get this book read over the weekend. Cheers.
