  1. Idk Daniel. I would love to believe these things were fantasy, but they did happen.
  2. It's difficult to explain the hallucinations that I went through and how the occult, mysticism, magic, philosophy and superstition created them. It was a combination of my supernatural experiences, dreams, and reading that created them. That, plus the physical imbalance that I have. I not only endured these, I also experienced events that defy reality. I've had things stolen from me by supernatural forces, they have spit on me and broken my glasses. It's a very frustrating thing to know there is someone there doing these things to me that don't answer to me.
  3. Tell me who it is so I can read them, please.
  4. Why do you ask? Is there someone with similar ideas?
  5. Idk about what systems speak of no mind or nirvana. I'm not trained nor do I really understand what it means for them, but thanks to having my intellect overcome by some force, I have had to learn to silence my mind. I no longer react with thoughts to things. I also don't dwell on subjects. I don't read or watch television, which helps keeping the mind quiet. It's not the promise of liberation from suffering. While some suffering has ceased, new suffering has surfaced in the way of boredom. I have control of my thinking, but find little to do or think about.
  6. I sit in bare naked reality a lot these days. It's easy to do when you aren't around anyone and have destroyed your illusions, and no longer have a working intellect. Other people and their paradigms keep us busy translating their perspective, which prevents living in the bnr moment.
  7. In order for these things to carry weight, one has to have a religious mind, which, while I see the pleasure of it, I now call a mental illness.
  8. Last episode ended about two months ago. Yes, I no longer hold much to be true, or absolute.
  9. What was the beginning and cause for esoteric societies?

    What is Wisdom depends upon the Age and culture, and need for change. I'd say that in ancient days, things were secret because the secrets helped develop the science and military. In the last 300 years, I'd say it is secret because of the want for liberty, especially of the sexual nature. Today there are no real revelations that are secret, only the designs that came from them.
  10. On esotericism: Why the secracy?

    There is currently no secret idea that is not revealed, but some revelations require the seeker to unpack their mind to discover the truth that they currently do not see.
  11. Personally, I have no experience with levitation or invisibility, or other such magical things a person can do. I do, however, have experience with magical things being done to me, and I can completely vouch for the idea that matter and reality are not what they seem, and there is much beyond that is not revealed. I also say that you should use caution when seeking out the other side.
  12. My Experience With Black Magic

    Unfortunately things happen that can't be explained, and unless it happens to a person, they can't accept it, and disbelief and ridicule follow.
  13. The Buddha says one needs to know Right Action to avoid suffering, but there is no way to prevent suffering, because all action leads to desire, either for one's self, or for other people. If I take an action, I cause someone to desire, or I am working upon acquiring a desire. Therefore this premise is faulted. There is no way to prevent desire, which he says causes suffering.
  14. The trinity - how do you interpeted it

    I believe the church is considered the body of christ, as one is transfiguration from within by engaging in communion. I think the Holy Spirt represents the spirit of love between the father, son and body of the church
  15. I've thought a great deal about the afterlife, Heaven, reincarnation, and immortality. I was wondering what everyone thought about these ideas? Do you think one needs the Philosophers Stone to be qualified as Immortal? Certainly there are other paths to Immortality. Do you think you can achieve Immortality without being recognized by Man?
  16. You're just proving my point Nungali. You're not initiated into these mysteries. They say you should be of a certain age, maybe you just aren't old enough.
  17. The study of Alchemy is to transmute chemicals, elements and minerals from one thing to another, such as lead into gold. This is also a metaphor for spiritual alchemy, where we take the elemental nature's of life and personality and turn them into something else, Ala occult symbols angels demons and gods. Philosophy being on the nature of things, primarily on the subject of life and existence, but also on matter, is a science of Wisdom, and it is said that to traverse the path of Wisdom promises the elixir or food of immortality. The philosophers stone is the metal, or idea, which is found at the conclusion of this journey, which can be used to explain all of nature- at least psychologically, but perhaps in the elemental realms as well, such as finding that primary stuff from which life emerges. As the latter element seems impossible to find, I suggest that the philosophers stone is more of a psychological idea from whence all things can be explained.
  18. I didn't say you weren't initiated into something, just not this, and of this, I won't discuss, because you simply don't understand, and seem to think you are fully initiated into everything.
  19. Greetings.

    Hi. I am currently reading from a book of the 6th Master of Zen named Three Sutras. I have a background in philosophy and Magick.
  20. As I said, the "secret" is common enough, but obtaining it legitimately is not, and for those that have done so, it is gold, and I will not profane this journey for them or myself by discussing it with the uninitiated, who, as has been made evident by some, do not revere Wisdom as sacred.
  21. There is no way to prevent suffering.

    The only path is to obey all laws, and not be something to desire, nor to desire anything.
  22. From what I read of you here, nungali, you are that "internet know it all"
  23. It is less about keeping a secret and more about giving away a good Sirs treasure! The grail or stone is a hard won prize! What fool would I be to reveal its hiding place to the profane, no matter how good they may appear to be! Nungali shows little reverence for sacred knowledge, as for them, it was easily procured, but for us Saints that art Holy, this was borne of life and blood!
  24. I think I'll just let secrets be secrets.
