  2. Tarot as a Magical Tool?

    Are there any dangers inherent in trying out these techniques that you know of? The guy in the video kind of portrayed it in a way that suggests it's similar to those other techniques.
  3. Tarot as a Magical Tool?

    I know very little about this topic, but I thought I'd share something - I saw a video on YouTube of a guy explaining different ways to program the subconscious. He went through some stuff I'd heard many times before (visualisation, affirmation, etc) but then he mentioned using the Tarot to do this. He gave a very simple technique: Basically, choose a Tarot card that symbolically represents the qualities you want to have, meditate on it, and imagine yourself inside the card/picture yourself as the character on the card. He gave the example of using the The Emperor card to bring out confidence, authority, and so on. I tried this and it did seem to have an effect, but I haven't gone much further into it...
  4. Manifesting

    Something I do wonder about though, and I was hoping some people could shed some light on, is why manifesting things in the physical world for ones benefit/enjoyment is often viewed in a very negative way by spiritual people? Some even go as far as to say it's Black Magic...What's the reasoning behind this?
  5. Manifesting

    Depending on your views on the subject, if you have any hang-ups about it or not, etc, the simplest way is probably through masturbation - Simply stare at the sigil while you have at it, and at the climax (which should be as intense as possible for this purpose...) try and "drink" the sigil into your mind/shoot it out into the universe - Basically visualise the sigil being "fired" in whatever way works best for you. It's optimal, at this point, to have forgotten the intent for which you made the sigil in the first place. It sure is interesting when your perform a technique like this, and then in a few days or weeks, you experience results...Very trippy. I'm going to have to experiment more with this myself. Good luck with it
  6. Hey, was hoping you guys could recommend some books about Taoist practice - Meditation, energy work, even rituals and such things, that you yourselves have read and made progress with. If possible, I'd like to avoid long-winded technical explanations and get straight to practice...There seems to be so many books on the market, it's hard to know what to go for. Much appreciated,
  7. Manifesting

    It's interesting that your sigils didn't work out - I've heard of that happening for some people. Just curious, are you sure that you took the necessary physical action to allow the results to come? I don't mean to sound rude (and hopefully I'm not) but nothing is going to happen if you don't take some kind of action. In my experience, sigils seem to present you with opportunities that you must take in order to manifest whatever it is you want. As an example, a couple of months ago I made a sigil with a statement of intent that said something like "I NOW HAVE A SOURCE OF INCOME THAT I ENJOY" - After a couple/few weeks, I was on Facebook and a friend of a friend made a post asking if anyone wanted to work at a music festival the next day. There were only 2 positions available, and many more people than that replied, but I got the job. Now I'm registered with the company who does the work at concerts/festivals, and work for them when they ask me to. I happen to really enjoy this kind of work, so I now literally have a source of income that I enjoy. Of course, it could all be sheer coincidence, but the fact that other sigils of mine have appeared to work makes me think there's definitely something to this, especially considering that many people swear by them. Edit: I don't mean to suggest that you were implying that sigils don't work for anyone, ever, I just think they're really worth experimenting with. Peace.
  8. Manifesting

    Hey nine tailed fox, just thought I'd chime in here. I've become quite a fan of using sigils to bring about change. Now, admittedly, I haven't really used them to manifest really big things - I'm still in the phase of experimentation and building confidence - But they've worked in some way nearly every time I've used them. I may as well tell you how to make/use them while I'm at it... 1. Create a statement of intent and write it on a piece of paper - A lot of sources recommend something like "IT IS MY WILL TO *insert desire here*" however I personally have found them more effective when stated in the present tense, eg "I NOW HAVE *insert desire here*" 2. Once you have your statement of intent (I should add that it's probably wise to think very carefully about exactly what that is...) you cross out all the repeated letters - You should now just be left with a string of letters. Some people suggest crossing out the vowels as well, but I don't think it really matters either way. 3. Create a glyph/image/symbol using those letters - Doesn't have to be anything fancy, just mash them together in a way that looks/feels pleasing to you. Feel free to combine letters, eg you might have a "T" that you could add another line to at the bottom to use as an "L" as well. Once you have your sigil, try and simplify/condense it down a bit to make it easier to visualise - This seems to make them work more effectively. I like to finish mine by drawing a circle/oval around them - It just makes them feel more complete to me. 4. Charging the sigil - A common way is to masturbate to the point of orgasm (that's right...) whilst staring at the sigil, and "drinking it in" to your mind at the climax. However, the last couple that I've made were charged simply by sticking them (separately, on different occasions) on the wall, burning some incense, going into a meditative trance, and staring at them for half an hour or so - During this time, when staring at the sigils, I visualised them expanding out into the world/universe and piercing the very fabric of reality. I did this a few days ago, and results have already started coming. This is a much gentler way of charging them, and if you decide to try this out you might want to charge your first ones while in a more intense state, such as orgasm. 5. Now that your sigil is charged, you can do whatever you like with it. A lot of people destroy them in some way or another (such as burning them) but I've read some stuff lately that recommends leaving your sigil out somewhere you look several times a day, but not so obvious that you're forever staring at it. The idea behind this is that it stays in the background and seeps further into your subconscious. 6. Banish. To do this you can laugh hysterically for a few minutes, or just do something that will bring you back down to Earth and ground you. 7. It's often said that it's best to completely forget about what you've done now. I find that to be really hard, so I adopt a non-attached state of mind - If I think about the sigil and its result, I just shrug and try to let it go instead of becoming attached to the result. If you decide to try this, start with something you don't really care about just to test the waters and so you can remain non-attached. And that's using sigils in a nutshell Hopefully this post will be of use to you and others. T.S P.S Just remembered that you asked about specific Taoist/Buddhist manifestation techniques in your post - Sorry, I don't know of any, but I'd be really interested in hearing about them as well.
  9. How to gain karma

    malikshreds - How does one go about purifying bad karma? Is it simply a matter of taking taking enough "good" action to outweigh the effects of any negativity you may have caused previously?

  12. Do you believe each human is "put on this Earth" to fulfil some role as part of a "Divine Plan"? Do you believe that there is in fact no purpose to any of this, and that our existence is meaningless outside of whatever meaning we may create for ourselves? Maybe you believe that our purpose is to reach the highest level of spiritual development possible, become one with God, and help others do the same? Or maybe you don't believe God exists? Maybe you simply view our species as nothing more than a chance occurrence, a tiny speck in an infinite nothingness, and maybe you find peace in that...It seems part of our nature to seek purpose in life, to feel like there's some point to all of this - Is there or isn't there? I'm yet to come reach an answer to this question, but if you have any ideas I'd love to hear them.
  13. Hey sinan, those videos you saw sound interesting - any of that stuff on YouTube? Yeah, everything has been a little confuzzling for me lately, dealing with some stuff. A lot of people here mention Yuen Method but I don't know anything about it, could you go into some more detail? Can you learn it from DVD's etc? How does it work?
  14. Different types of Yoga?

  15. http://www.clarity-of-being.org/dark-force-entities-dealing-with.htm If not, can you recommend any other way to clear away this "garbage"? Have a great week.
  16. In your opinion, is this information accurate?

    Thanks Jetsun - That does make a lot of sense, and I'll make a point of putting that into practice...Should be a good opportunity for self-discipline.
  17. In your opinion, is this information accurate?

    I've been trying some basic banishing stuff from a book, which has seemed to help a bit, but I guess it's an ongoing process...
  18. In your opinion, is this information accurate?

    Hi Jetsun, yeah I agree that they seem to be heavily pushing their method and discrediting others. I actually do feel like I have a problem with said garbage, and have for a while - That's why I was looking up this stuff in the first place. Although, there's also the possibility that the perceived "problem" that I have is, in fact, entirely a product of my own mind.
