Rules and meta
Welcome to the Sunflower!
This board is for the discussion and organization of ascension and enlightenment related activities.
Board rules
1. Stay on topic
2. Start a new thread only if a related one doesn't exist, or if it has reached bump limit
3. Anime/manga images may spice up a discussion, but keep it decent
4. Trolling or derailing with ill intent is not allowed
Magic 101
This thread will be dedicated to the practical learning of basic esoteric skills.
As it seems people inexperienced with the occult are now finding this board, it is necessary to provide help towards the development of a stable foundation in their practice. Since occult theory is discussed to great lengths in other threads, we require a place of practice.
August thread
It is time to cool down after the heat of the summer, and to focus on your practice!
Having mental and spiritual skill will be essential in the time to come, for those who still want to be part of the elite. The standard has not been raised, but rather the requirements have been concretized.
Summoning your own mutant corona waifu
As an associate of the sunflower project, you will here be offered protection from harm by the new, mutated corona virus. It has already been suggested that this should not be treated as a mere new version of the same virus, but as a completely new virus.
What is the corona virus?
A virus is just protein, it isn't even alive. It's more of a bio bot, like sperm. It does nothing unless someone interacts with it. Focusing on people's behaviour to stop a virus spread is for this reason the correct measure.
Who created this bot and what does it do?
From a spiritual view, the virus was deviced by the Egyptian deity Nut, in cooperation with different other deities responsible for pandemics. It is correctly named "corona" because it opens your crown chakra.
For many people the crown chakra is blocked, clogged up with dirty substances and karma. The reaction when this is cleared up will be violent. I myself became ill and didn't fully recover for 8 weeks when clearing my crown chakra in the most basic way during my personal practice.
The new mutation
If people had just practiced social distancing and ceased different types of dirty behaviours, the pandemic would have calmed down by now. Looking at the situation in the world, some countries did this, for example Vietnam. They have no lockdowns and live normal lives, the only exception being their borders are strictly controlled.
In the west people instead refused to take responsibility for their actions and attempt to resist the crown chakra opening. They think a vaccine will allow them to continue their degenerate behaviour. This method will only serve to keep people's chakras clogged up and it would worsen the situation, further blocking their empathy.
It can be said, given what people are like, that this was more or less expected, hence measures had been prepared vs this situation, in the form of a new virus. This virus is seen as just a faster corona, currently causing a new lockdown in UK. However it is not.
Sigil thread
This is a sigil for summoning catgirl spirits.
Catgirls come in different types: wild, domestic and freelancers. Wild and domestic catgirls can be adopted. Ask them if they like you, and if they want you to be their owner. They will give you a necklace and a bracelet if they accept. Put the necklace on the catgirl and the bracelet on yourself and the adoption is complete.
Freelancers own themselves and cannot be adopted.
July thread
As predicted, the Sunflower egregore has now forced the world egregore into submission.
Anything significant to enter the world stage now has to pass by us, Yuuka and Gensokyo. Not respecting this new set-up will lead to severe consequences for the perpetrators.
Be reasonable (or don't be!) and present your wishes for what direction the world should take in this thread. If it syncs with the will of Sunflower and Gensokyo, it may become reality. The effect will be perceived as unproportional, but the gatekeeper always gets to decide!
UPDATE:
Sunflower session, July 2021
Vampires in lore and reality
Western, eastern, physical or spiritual, anything relating to vampires in this thread! This includes witchcraft and werewolves which are historically inseperable from the concept of vampirism.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vampyre
"The Vampyre" is a short work of prose fiction written in 1819 by John William Polidori as part of a contest between Polidori, Mary Shelley, Lord Byron, and Percy Shelley. The same contest produced the novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus.[1] The Vampyre is often viewed as the progenitor of the romantic vampire genre of fantasy fiction.[2] The work is described by Christopher Frayling as "the first story successfully to fuse the disparate elements of vampirism into a coherent literary genre."[3]
"The Vampyre" was first published on 1 April 1819 by Henry Colburn in the New Monthly Magazine with the false attribution "A Tale by Lord Byron". The name of the work's protagonist, "Lord Ruthven", added to this assumption, for that name was originally used in Lady Caroline Lamb's novel Glenarvon (from the same publisher), in which a thinly-disguised Byron figure was named Clarence de Ruthven, Earl of Glenarvon. Despite repeated denials by Byron and Polidori, the authorship often went unclarified.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire
Vampiric entities have been recorded in most cultures; the term vampire was popularized in Western Europe after reports of an 18th-century mass hysteria of a pre-existing folk belief in the Balkans and Eastern Europe that in some cases resulted in corpses being staked and people being accused of vampirism.[1] Local variants in Eastern Europe were also known by different names, such as shtriga in Albania, vrykolakas in Greece and strigoi in Romania.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werewolf
Slavic uses the term vlko-dlak (Polish wilkołak, Czech vlkodlak, Slovak vlkolak, Serbo-Croatian вукодлак - vukodlak, Slovenian volkodlak, Bulgarian върколак/vrkolak, Belarusian ваўкалак/vaukalak, Ukrainian вовкулака/vovkulaka), literally "wolf-skin", paralleling the Old Norse ulfhéðinn. However, the word is not attested in the medieval period. The Slavic term was loaned into modern Greek as Vrykolakas. Baltic has related terms, Lithuanian vilkolakis and vilkatas, Latvian vilkatis and vilkacis. The name vurdalak (вурдалак) for the Slavic vampire ("ghoul, revenant") is a corruption due to Alexander Pushkin, which was later widely spread by A.K. Tolstoy in his novella The Family of the Vourdalak (composed in French, but first published in a Russian translation in 1884).

Summoning spiritual beings
This is somewhat of a backbone of the Sunflower Project, but it's not something that's been addressed with any organization. What methods do you use for spirit interactions and how did you get started?
For some of us this is pretty much a non issue as we do this as a part of daily life since long. For others it may be more difficult. Let's help each other out.
Share your experiences or ask questions on this topic in this thread!
Telepathy and Mind Control Thread
Telepathy is a skill that will be required for basic interactions in the meeting room thus a thread discussing the honing of this skill is necessary. Mind control while definitely a more advanced skill may prove useful to certain people making it worthy of discussion and is not a distinct enough skill for it's own thread.
The end & future
Not that it matters since it's not going to show unless you have astral senses, but maybe someone has, so here is an update:
Earth's maintenance deities packed up and left. They handed over the control document to Gensokyo, so we are now under their rule formally. After the moloch botsouls and their timeline was wiped out by elves, and nomors/skinwalkers quarantined, then trashed the main human timeline, we were adopted by said elves. This means earth is now running on the elven timeline, and technically does not rest on local structures anymore. This is a large intergalaxy timeline.
Whatever was left in the collective subconscious after degenerated souls which were ripped away, has been added to a universal cleaning script which was included in the past construct. The same goes for physical structures which belonged to these purged souls. Because earth's microcosmic pocket dimension, known to us as "the universe" wasn't a perfect or unlimited construct, it included a function for final clean up after its runtime ended. This is what's now being performed.
A new structure is in formation based on a new set of ideas, different from the past ones. One notable difference is that the new universe will not accept uncontrolled debt, karmic or otherwise. It is also entirely based on black magic.
Madrasa occult server
Server is closed - thread left up for archival purposes
Hello, I am here to introduce you to my server, Madrasa. It is a server with an arab and Djinn theme and will involve creating astral artifacts, which are spells or grimoires made to have the shape of an object, and working with Djinn. This is primarily a serious server, but at the time of making this thread, is in the inchoate stage. Please feel free to hop in!
Given a choice...
I am afraid, but not for myself.
In wording my question, I have come to terms with some of it, but in general I still feel it is better to explain and ask than to not.
My personal reference for understanding is Magic the Gathering, not Touhou, but translationally the same ideas apply - especially regarding Kamigawa, but that's for another time.[lol]
Within that framework, I am now afraid that the Tic-Tac may well be representative of Skinwalker drone ships, or in this frame, Phyrexians. Ascension/Ignition is a choice, and sadly there are those who would prey on any unable to choose.
Given the choice at ignition of leaving to explore or staying to help protect and guide those that chose on whatever level to stay…I expected to want to fuck off. Instead I found within the implications a deep fear and yearning to stay and help the 'cleanup', so to speak. So I started reviewing my references, which compounded on themselves a bit more for good measure, and felt a cry for help I was compelled to echo.
I will stay and help in any way I can, although I admittedly will try to make it as silly as possible. Rustle their digital jimmies a bit. What about y'all?
Astral travel and teleportation
This thread is for discussion of the methods to learn different levels of astral travel, including:
viewing other places during meditation
interacting with astral locations
movement on the astral using a body existing over there
manipulation of your own location within the world system
timeline shifting
physical teleportation
physical astral travel
The lyran "invasion" and the breaking of earth quarantine
This will be a short version going over the main points of coming events and their reasons.
A lyran ship is currently approaching earth. Their goal with coming here is to create hybrids to expand their possible reincarnation territory. Lyrans are cat-like humanoids and genetically compatible with humans. Refer to ancient reliefs from Egypt.
A scout ship came by in 2017 to check on the situation, it was spotted by observers and called Oumuamua. This is them coming back after discussions with their main fleet. The question raised is naturally if this means a violent invasion or if they will come in peace. The answer is: both.
As their plan is to incarnate on earth in the future, they can not accept a situation like the one we currently have; namely where 1/3 of the soul population is killed in the womb, and 2/3 of those born are enslaved. So this current human system of society will have to go. There will also be an end to environmental destruction.
Lyrans will bring technology which can rejuvenate the body directly with no food intake, they will also bring housing pods, humans will refer to these as shuttles, but they're just houses.
As implied by sharing here:
this is not really a big thing for them, so calling it an invasion is the wrong word. But humans being humans may see it that way.
The earth quarantine
This has been a mainstream topic in the new age community and it's related. The reason for earth not having contact with aliens in the open, is because of this situation. So what does it mean?
There is a difference between the astral plane and the physical plane. We call the physical 3D but there is also an astral 3D, the difference lies in their particle make up. Plato called the astral "the world of ideas", the mental space where you can freely design and create anything, and anything exists.
But once you try to bring your creation from the world of ideas into physical reality, you face resistance. You can not just think up a table and it exists, you have to cut it from wood or maybe stone, you have to procure raw materials and there may be conflicts with other humans in the process.
It's the same for aliens and species residing fully in the astral. If they want to move into 3D (meatspace) they will face resistance and it cannot be done without serious consideration for the consequences.
What happened was that someone attempted bringing high technology to earth, when earth was still primitive. This was like suddenly opening a floodgate, and it threw human thinking into disarray. The idea was to cause a sudden and fast skip ahead in human development, but the result was mostly a failure.
It has worked before, but this one attempt did not, at least not in an orderly fashion. Refer to Mao's "great leap forward" which caused "the great famine" killing 70 million chinese as farmers were forced to produce pig iron instead of farming.
The effect of this attempt, was that earth's timelines detached from the surrounding universe and fell into a contained loop. This is what the "fall into sin" and eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge in the bible is about. Any souls entering earth will get stuck in this time loop and cannot get out.
It's because earth is a vortex and it takes considerable power to escape this force. Only an "enlightened" person can do this.
At this point, an attempt to reconnect the timelines will be made, and the lyran landing's success will be a sign of this having been achieved.
Lastly, the technology which was inserted is the "8" seen on the top of this website itself, the Ouroboros. It's a failed attempt at creating immortality, being eternally stuck in 1D.
Music thread
Music for reaching a desired mindset or aiding your practice.
https://gensokyoradio.net/music/playing/
Anyone aiming to work with Gensokyo will benefit from music inspired by the world. Well suited when syncing for group sessions in real time as participants will be hearing the same song.
Sunflower phase 2
The establishment of the Sunflower astral grid has been completed. This correlates with a platform (plateau) for interaction having been similary built for recruits to the Succubus Collective. Both systems are now open and functional with enough sustainability that they no longer need overseeing to withstand.
This is now the time to move on to the next phase of the Sunflower; creation of the future society. A negative outcome for humanity has been presented through precognition, caused by an inability to adapt to the situation at hand. With everyone still thinking society will "go back to normal next year", governments will keep imposing lockdowns, forcing businesses into bancruptcy while keeping the population at minimum consolation by the means of public support packages. This strategy relies on the assumption that the virus will be overcome in the coming 1 -2 years. What will happen if the situation does not improve? How far would humanity walk into the mist before realising that there is no light on the other side?
Let them do whatever. This stage means a swift twist and a turn to move up and above the virus mist. With determination we can do it. This thread will be for general discussion of the process.
The Akasha Lounge
Hello All!
I am here to formally invite you to The Akasha Lounge's grande opening to the public!
The Akasha Lounge is a longtime project of mine, and a very dear achievement. To put it in simple terms, The Akasha Lounge is a Jazz/Blues Lounge and Bar… in the Astral! We welcome all types of visitors and spirits, but the rules of the house are such…
1. Anyone who can get in, can get in.
2. The Akasha Lounge is a strictly neutral zone. Leave your baggage and ill-will at the door. Measures have been taken to assure that peace is maintained at all times.
Thats about it, as I said before this IS a Jazz and Blues Lounge, I reccommend using the single of "In a Sentimental Mood" by John Coltrane, when attempting to connect to the front door.
Should any of you great people stop in, please feel free to say hello to me at the bar, enjoy our cosmic selection of fine liquors and spirits, as well as the splendid line up of musicians and music that grace our stage.
Ah yes and to evade confusion, my astral body is actually two bodies, represented by the two on the sign. Not going to get into why, but I hope it doesn't get too confusing for you.
Thanks everyone!

>Anthroposophy is a philosophy founded in the early 20th century by the esotericist Rudolf Steiner that postulates the existence of an objective, intellectually comprehensible spiritual world, accessible to human experience. Followers of anthroposophy aim to develop mental faculties of spiritual discovery through a mode of thought independent of sensory experience.[1][2] They also aim to present their ideas in a manner verifiable by rational discourse and specifically seek a precision and clarity in studying the spiritual world mirroring that obtained by natural historians in investigations of the physical world.
>The philosophy has its roots in German idealist and mystical philosophies.[3] Steiner chose the term anthroposophy (from anthropo-, human, and Sophia, wisdom) to emphasize his philosophy's humanistic orientation.[1][4] Anthroposophical ideas have been employed in alternative movements in many areas including education (both in Waldorf schools and in the Camphill movement), agriculture, medicine, banking, organizational development, and the arts.[1][5][6][7][8] The main organization for advocacy of Steiner's ideas, the Anthroposophical Society, is headquartered at the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthroposophy
>Waldorf pedagogical theory considers that during the first years of life children learn best by being immersed in an environment they can learn through un-selfconscious imitation of practical activities. The early childhood curriculum therefore centers on experiential education, allowing children to learn by example, and opportunities for imaginative play.[53][54][55][56] The overall goal of the curriculum is to "imbue the child with a sense that the world is good".[57]
>Waldorf preschools employ a regular daily routine that includes free play, artistic work (e.g. drawing, painting or modeling), circle time (songs, games, and stories), and practical tasks (e.g. cooking, cleaning, and gardening), with rhythmic variations.[58] Periods of outdoor recess are also usually included.[57]:125 The classroom is intended to resemble a home, with tools and toys usually sourced from simple, natural materials that lend themselves to imaginative play.[59] The use of natural materials has been widely praised as fulfilling children's aesthetic needs, encouraging their imagination, and reinforcing their identification with nature,[59][60][61][62] though one pair of reviewers questioned whether the preference for natural, non-manufactured materials is "a reaction against the dehumanizing aspects of nineteenth-century industrialization" rather than a "reasoned assessment of twenty-first century children's needs".[63]
Skinwalkers/nomor
Skinwalkers are a common theme on /x/. There are different views on what they are. This thread will deal with the aliens enganging in bodysnatching, who have influenced certain changes in human society in history and today.
Attached images show examples of their cultural influence. Most notably they are the creators of smarthphone technology, UX design principles and ethnology as a scientific subject. They also inspired the BDU way of dressing and the survivalist trend.
The /x/ caps refer mostly correctly their previous interactions with human society 4000 years ago, at the end of sumerian culture.
They currently control 17% of human bodies in the world. The topic is not directly relevant to the sunflower as such, but it may be worth bringing this up as occultists sooner or later will come across them, considering their spread.
Sunflower crystal network
A red crystal has been created to spread and support the values of the sunflower. It was made through a joint effort of the Sunflower and Gensokyo. It is accessable by anyone and will self replicate. Picking one out for yourself will turn it into a piece of astral jewelry such as a ring, bracelet or pendant.
Its effect is that of taking in energy from the user and evolving it, to produce more energy within the system. It is then given this back in the form of support, always giving more than what is inserted through the effect of the large scale and refined astral technology.
How do I start on the path of understanding the metaphysical?
I don't know where to begin and I am not even sure I know the right questions to ask… I should probably back up… I am coming from the Q and /pol/ (now /pnd/) boards. I enjoy the study of the way the world works and those places provided me with much knowledge but I feel as if I have hit a wall both in my research and my life. I have spent my time studying the political and psychological elements of the world and never given much thought to the metaphysical simply walling it off as unknowable with our current technology, but it has become clear to me that there are metaphysical elements to the fight that is going on behind the scenes and that I must study the metaphysical to find the answers I seek. The problem is I have absolutely no knowledge of this subject and there are many risks involved with it. I have stayed agnostic until now because of the unknown risks to the soul (if it even exists) but without taking that risk I feel I can go no farther. The extent of my experience is I have been to a medium once or twice in my life, had a passing interest in ghost hunting in my teens (never actually went out and did it) and owned some tarot cards at one point. (don't think I ever actually used them) That is about it.
After browsing through the threads of this forum I believe I can find at least some knowledge here. From what I think I have been able to decipher you have some kind of meeting room accessed via out of body experiences, a large number of posters are part of something called the "Succubus Collective" and there are at least 2 different types of vampire one of them related to the cabal mentioned by Q but that is about all I have been able to decipher. I am at the stage where I don't even know what I don't know so almost any beginner level resource would be helpful, particularly some kind of resource listing the various methods of the metaphysical,(That actually work. There is so much trash out there.) what they offer and what they cost. It would help point me in the right direction.
I feel like I am going insane for even posting this like I have chased the rabbit too far down the hole. I feel like I might be making a mistake in ignorance but I want to know. For all I know this board is an elaborate LARP and I actually have lost it, but making a fool of myself could be the least of the troubles caused by this. I suppose time will tell…
Losers all
I'm in the middle of my third eye opening, and exploring relevant forums on the internet, I'm sad to say you're all some goofy ass people.
>websites littered with clickbait tier trash (see 1)
>content appealing specifically to normies with nothing going for them (see 2)
>completely counterproductive scams (see 3)
Spirituality is real, the third eye is real, telepathy and another world beyond ours accessible by our consciousness is real. That's why it's so disheartening to see nothing but badly made, laughably amateuristic blogspots and websites, made exclusively by unappealing, unwashed wannabe Tibetan monks. Is there no presentable, maybe even western outlet or forum for people like me?
Hello, and dreams
I don't know the first thing about the occult, I just stumbled across this board in the index. First of all, I must say I am interested, and would greatly appreciate being pointed in the direction of some things to read. I am merely aware that there exists much outside the material world we know. The Christian(?) view that we must never interact with what is beyond instinctually perplexes me. I am also familiar with fake history, alternative earth theories, etc.
To expand the scope of this thread beyond my initial inquiry, I want to share the most intense nightmare I've ever had, which happened to occur last night, and ask that others share a dream that was spiritually striking. I was lucky I decided to record a voice journal entry describing it in my phone after awaking, because what I dreamt of was the end.
I was on a very large highway, bridging over a massive body of water. Suddenly, a sort of small tornado appeared in the middle of the highway, but it caused no wind. In a circular formation on the asphalt around the base of it, there appeared several squares that rapidly spun, each gridded with rainbow colors. Evidently I knew what this meant, as I started running towards land and screaming "THIS IS IT! WOOOOOOOOOO!" I thought this was The Great Reset (I know, a much more dramatic version than reality) happening before me. I found my way to a house with a friend that we were trying to escape from, but you see, what I was running from was a completely invisible wall that encroached outwards from the tornado. When you collided with this wall, you were teleported back to the position you were just about two seconds ago. My instincts told me this would eventually cause the death of me. Skipping a bunch of random weird shit, I couldn't escape the house, and what happened next made me have such intense existential dread when I was finally awake and began to recall this moment. The wall somehow enveloped me, and I watched my friend's head distort in literally unimaginable ways as he screamed and floated into the ceiling, phasing through it. As he did, I followed, and as I screamed, everything turned… blank. My view turned into what was neither dark nor light. My scream slowly faded to silence, and I felt that what just happened was my soul was torn away from its synergy with physicality as the material world itself was annihilated. It was left alone in a void (limbo?). Then the character selection screen faded in, and I had to choose between a level 20 woman and a level 800 man. I obviously picked the latter after a minute of analyzing what I was actually seeing, and then I woke up. (No this wasn't a meme lmao. I rarely play video games now, but they were a huge portion of my life so they're quite embedded in my subconscious.)
Was a part of me reborn or some shit? Maybe this wasn't even significant, I have no fucking idea, I'm new to this whole topic.
Anyway, share a dream if ya want.
Projekt Melody
This is getting a lot of attention in some parts online but so far it doesn't seem like anyone has brought it up for serious discussion. With 18k people attending and donating large sums of money, this can't be ignored.
This topic may look low level or irrelevant but I think not. Mass movements can do a lot based on them simply being mass movements, even if the individual contributes close to nothing.
I'll try to throw in the different aspects of this in a few following posts here.
Group session organizing thread
Refer to the temple thread for instructions on how to access the meeting room:
We will be starting this with two 20 min slots weekly, one for visiting Japari Park and one for Gensokyo. This means you can, in your own time, schedule these two 20 min sessions anytime during the week, and using the time difference removing crystal all participants will meet at the same time anyway.
Use this thread to discuss the sessions.
Bestiary Thread
I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread where we post about the different types of entities we have seen on the astral and build a reference profile for them. I will build an example profile. Include an image if you can but it isn't a big deal if you can't. Also, include a summoning method if you know one. Also, feel free to add more methods of classification if you can think of them. Please only include entities you have delt with personally.
Name of entity: Mundane
Threat Level 0-4/10 (Zero would be an infant with 10 being a literal god. A trained mundane solder can still be fairly dangerous hence the 0-4 range in this case)
Entity type:
Primate (another example would be a Salamander is an Elemental)
Single Entity:
No (Will you always be dealing with the same entity such as in the case of gods.)
Habitat:
Various (Can this entity be found more some places than others?)
Intelligence level:
Various (How smart is it? Can you carry on a conversation with it? Is it all-knowing?)
Organizations:
Too many to list (this is for listing different groups the entities can belong to such as the Succubus Collective in the case of Succubi)
Typical Personality:
Various (does this type of entity exhibit a certain personality trait more often than others?)
Appearance:
Mundanes can have a highly varied appearances but all healthy specimens have two legs affixed to the bottom of a torso, with an arm on each side and with a head containing sensory organs on the top of the torso. The head has a nose in the center of it with a mouth slightly below it and eyes on both sides of the nose set just slightly above the noeses center. The head also has ears on both sides of it. Reproductive genitalia is located at the bottom center of the torso with the anus directly behind it. Mundanes stand upright growing to an average height range of 4ft to 6.5ft when fully grown but can be more or less than that at the extreme ends. They have minimal hair on their bodies with the exception of there heads and it can be various colors. They can vary highly in skin tone ranging all the way from pale white to pitch black. They are a sexually dimorphic species with males being larger and physically stronger than the females. The males also typically grow hair on their faces and have more overall whereas females do not. Females also Have extra tissue in the breast and anus regions compared to the males. (What did they look like when you saw them? I know this will be tricky as the same entity can look different to different people on the astral but the experience of the poster can be used to establish a baseline others can work from.)
Summoning methods:
N/A (exactly what it says. how to summon this type of entity. For example in the case of a succubus the letter method or a sigil would be put here)
Special notes: (any additional information you wish to include)
REEEE Normies.
DIY Afterlife?
Quick disclaimer: In all my years of browsing imageboards, this is the first time I've ever actually created a thread. Though this is technically related to lucid dreaming, it seems in-depth and different enough to warrant its own thread. My apologies if this is not the case.
I've had this idea for awhile, and now that /fringe/ appears to be back, after all, I was wondering what fellow anons thought about it:
>Use lucid dreaming to create incrementally more-and-more vivid scenarios, always populating the same "place" with increasing levels of detail and sophistication
In other words, create a memory palace, but instead of just using it to remember things, create your own ideal paradise.
>Ceaselessly return there every time you lucid dream, ultimately making it so real you can taste, smell, see, feel, and hear things semi-emergently
In other words, use lucid dreaming to create the basic laws of your universe, and ultimately said universe will act autonomously, though always in accordance with your Will.
>In so doing, all others whom you create to populate your realm will essentially be highly-sophisticated tulpas, yet they cannot enter into the material plane, and do not communicate with you outside of your lucid dreams
This makes sense because they only came into being by means of your dreams, and were consciously willed into existence by this very method. In other words, they exist in a part of your subconscious, but only really actualize in your particular corner of the astral realm. They cannot penetrate into this plane. Or can they?
>Eventually, this realm will become so sophisticated that, upon death, your soul will be able to transmigrate there for the rest of time.
In other words, you can sort of create a self-indulgent form of Pure Land, a pocket universe which becomes immortal and everlasting through sheer force of Will. This makes sense due to the immortality of one's mind; if one can indeed imprint one's will upon the astral realm, (Can one?) it follows that one can do everything I just described.
Thoughts? I'm still fairly new to esoteric theory and practice (mainly due to a rather busy schedule), and currently know very little about astral travel, tulpas, and even lucid dreaming, particularly in a practical sense. If anything in this idea seems particularly dangerous or impractical, please don't hesitate to tell me.
Alternatively, if this is a potentially-fruitful topic, please give your thoughts on how I might improve it.
Ceremonial Magic
I want to get started in Solomonic/ceremonial magic, but I don't really know where to start. Getting some grimoires seems like the first logical step but I don't know which ones to get. The Key of Solomon isn't particularly useful to me as it requires a lot of expensive regalia and items that seem virtually impossible to get nowadays (parchment made from a kid goat that's still suckling? A girdle made from a lion skin!?). Any advice/suggestions would be welcome!
Universal structure and the mind
This thread will start off with a mass of seemingly unrelated information bits which I'll connect. I personally see them as an integrated system, the question is if this can be communicated?
This is the result of meditation and interactions with spiritual entities and it's very personal so I don't expect others to see the same things. But maybe you'll see some new perspectives.
These images conveniently turned up on /x/ just in time for the connections to be made. They were said to explain the creation of humanity, and I do agree. You can understand them as represening both the three steps of 1D, 2D and 3D or the bottom three chakras of the body which make up the base, but after accepting this view and meditating on it, the last bulb will appear to not merely reach the 3rd chakra but actually represent all levels above. I'll throw in a chakra map for reference as well.
In reference to the bible you'll find that god made light first, and light being a waveformed particle is one dimensional and as such corresponds to 1D or the root chakra. This is to explain the connections I see and the overall structure.
Solomonic/Grimoire Magic Circles
Are the magic circles necessary? Most texts say they are, but some (such as An Excellent Booke of the Arte of Magicke by Humphrey Gilbert and John Davis) don't mention them at all, while one even says that an imaginary circle can be used (A discoverie of witchcraft - the 1665 edition).
Alchemy Thread
A thread for the discussion of alchemy. Alchemy seems far more approachable for a novice as it is more tool based than something like astral projection that relies entirely on personal ability. If someone is capable of producing a novice course I think it would be good for the board and give anyone that may find there way here a quick starting point.
The proper way to visualize?
A longstanding issue I've been having which I think might be the primary reason I haven't had any success so far with magic, is that I'm really not sure how I'm supposed to be visualizing.
People will often say to visualize a specific thing, such as an image, a sound, a feeling, or any combination of senses, but I'm still unclear as to what that truly means.
I have some examples in the (admittedly crude, I apologize) illustration provided.
In figures 1 and 2, the pictured person is expected to visualize a triangle inside some sort of circular object on his wall.
In figure 1, he visualizes it in a way that's projected over his physical vision. He is seeing both the circular object as well as his visualization of the triangle at the same time using his eyes.
In figure 2, he visualizes the circular object with a triangle on it separately from his physical vision, instead in his mind's eye. He's not looking at the circular object physically, he may even close his eyes. He's instead viewing it similarly to recalling a memory of something he's seen.
In figures 3 and 4, the depicted person is expected to visualize a sensation in his hand. Perhaps a change in temperature, or the feeling of flowing energy.
In figure 3, the depicted person is visualizing the sensation as if it is physically occurring to him in the moment.
In figure 4, the depicted person is visualizing the sensation in his minds eye, again, similarly to recalling a memory. Perhaps he's even using an existing memory of a sensation similar to the one he is expected to visualize, such as a memory of touching a hot object.
The way I've always visualized things has been what's depicted in figures 2 and 4, but I've had occasions where I'm in a certain state of mind that allows me to visualize things similarly to figures 1 and 3, but these states were few and fleeting.
I don't know if there even is a "proper" way to visualize, but with my lack of any tangible progress thus far it seems it may be something holding me back. I'm approaching the "Big Three-Oh" with my virginity intact, and becoming a wizard is basically my only goal in life, so figuring this out is very important to me.
Functional magic from an experienced practitioner
I was invited here by Sunflower because I have a unique experience with the paranormal. Essentially I worked towards an astral projection experience a few years ago and upon achieving it my floodgates were opened, revealing techniques for physical magic/esp as intuitive acts. The dantians, chakras, aura, elements and many other fields became relatively mastered for physical functionality within those few years. I can now conjure up warm viscous energy balls at will, and transmute them through many different forces of nature and metaphysical forces in order to achieve things like healing of inner tissue damage, alteration of the cells, enhancement of the body, and so on and so forth. My skills are highest in the realms of affecting biomass and doing so at great distances such as from east coast us to west coast us. I have spent much time acquiring confirming results from performing on skeptics and teaching individuals, and will now give an 'in a nutshell' explanation of how I see the world and have relentlessly for what feels like an eternity of a few years:
The physical plane is much like a crack in a dimensional sidewalk with plants growing out of it. Those plants are our bodies. In a less abstract description, our forms here are fueled by our life force and our life force is simply how much of our soul we've manifested here (the soul being the whole of ourselves in and outside of this form, our potential for this plane some would say). Our life force is a raging flame, can literally be called Flame, and generates energy that leaks out into our auras. This life energy is the medium between our inner worlds and the external, it is our way to make self expression and ideas a physical form that can do work. There is a near endless number of ways I could list to optimize the flow or use of one's energy, but it is best in my opinion to start at forming a physically warm and firm energy ball between the palms in order to become aware of one's energy and "aura". My suggested method for this is to hold the palms facing each other in front of yourself, not too close to prevent natural buildup of heat and not too far to prevent unnecessary difficulty. Then visualize a grey, translucent energy all around your skin and body, kind of like a liquid fire. Focus on sending small amounts of this stuff into the space between the hands over and over to form the sphere. Perceive the sphere forming. Do this until significant warmth buildup has occurred. I will make other posts on more specific fields at sometime.
