I laughed at Death earlier this evening - not to tempt it, not in its face, but I laughed at Death. I now understand Death to a degree that I haven't ever before. It's a Scorpionic thing, Death is. I'm very sorry to hear about your friend - having been close to suicide myself I empathise with the level of pain he must have been going through, and I can offer you the perspective that if he felt it was the only option he had left to free himself, then it may have, in a way, been for the best. My condolences to those affected by the incident.

Death.

I remember reading in a Law of Attraction book that it's within the norm for people to stop having new experiences in their lives somewhere between the ages of 25 & 35 - many become entrenched in habits and cycles of activities, routines, and basically never venture outside of them after a certain point (between 25 & 35). That's what the book said anyway. I'm nearly 25 and I'm now starting to perceive of the possibility for enormous variation in my future years, though certain things seem fated indeed. If you're older than 35, what has your experience been? If you're younger, do you envision yourself having new and different experiences into your older years?

Esther and Jerry Hicks lied to everyone in a book about The Law of Attraction?!? Maybe it is YOU who is spreading misinformation, in full of awareness of the fact you are doing so, Mr...ZANSHIN, was it??? For shame...

I've sometimes been feeling like I'm an old man recently because of the level of torture I've experienced in my life. It's rough and it comes and goes in cycles - I'm more grateful for Martial Arts than ever right now. The future's shaping up to be something special, but time needs to be taken now. Seems like life is just different for everyone - people follow similar patterns, walk similar paths, but everyone's having their own experience.

Thanks for sharing. There's actually many cult-like groups here in Perth, Australia - I've been around them for a long time but I got out. I busted my way out! Sick!!! (aussie slang for "good"). Been a long, hard life - got abused in a Satanic cult earlier in my life but I'm out for good now. Kiss my ass, suckers.

Here it is: http://thinkingmartial.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/5-stars-for-aikido-ground-fighting.html?m=1

I remember seeing a book on Amazon about Aiki-ground fighting. From memory it wasn't about suwari-waza, but rather Aikido applied to wrestling style situations. I'll have to buy a copy of that one actually.

Very interested in the Koren tiger style - any more info on it?

What do you feel you're being initiated into?

Huge tests, huge trials and tribulations. I can no longer accept the notion of 'God's Will', but I believe in 'Divine Purpose'. Screw God's Will. I've created my own Mythology that helps me deal with the pain of my life better than any pre-existing stories out there.

Befriending money was a good decision. I like it now, and it likes me too...I always have it, and we're good to each other. We're good friends. Befriending money is a wise decision...I do not understand the poverty mentality amongst some spiritual people. Been there, prefer having money. The End.

I discovered this muscle testing technique...one could say it's an excellent way to obtain answers from ones inner intellgence, or inner teacher. I've been basing my decisions largely on the answers I've received from this inbuilt pendulum for about a year now and, although I've found myself in some very risky/shady situations, I've actually come a LOOOONNNNG long way in that time. http://www.astrostar.com/Divination-Psychic.htm P.S A warning: Going off the answers you get with this technique can really be challenging...forget about logic - don't let it get in the way - but, and other people say this as well, the longer you use it, the clearer a more authentic, arguably Divine path for you becomes.

I used a Voodoo doll to find the perfect Martial Arts class for me. Fast forward a few weeks and I'm learning Karate in a park for 5 bucks a class...kickass.

I'm putting this here because I feel it's a topic that might be of interest to more people than those who visit the Hermetic and Occult Discussion forum. Believe me or don't - it doesn't matter - I've actually been conspired against quite severely in my life. I've incarnated as a very different kind of person to most, and I have been literally conspired against...I'm quite sure of that, anyway - there's no concrete, physical evidence to back it up as yet, however the more I rise out of those circumstances the more I'm discovering...It's kind of crazy, but it makes perfect sense - it's the only way I could have had the life I have so far. Now, I'm not a bad guy. I'm dark, I'm aggressive (in a "go for what I want and stop at nothing" kind of way) and I'm potent, but I'm not a bad guy. I never used to hurt people...I can't say for sure where the actual root of it all lies right now - I've been told it's all been a bit of a mistake, everything I've experienced...not necessarily karmic in the "backlash for being evil in a past life" kind of way, but moreso in a "you have karma for being who you are" kind of way. I'm rare. Anyway, I laid a big hex on a whole bunch of people recently and it worked really well. I've looked into it, and feel completely justified in having done so - it was a necessary act, in my opinion. I never used to want to do this to people, but I've changed my mind - it's cleared things up and enhanced the situation. How do you feel about ethical hexing?

What a great post. The info about what you call the "etheric energy body" resonates...the hex played out much like when I'm "in the zone" while playing guitar - it was an effortless, inspired creative/destructive act, and I feel it got the point across as well. I'm into Chaos Magic and have a complete religion of my own, known to me only.

Cool song, thanks for sharing Nungali.

Thank you for acknowledging that - it actually means a lot to me. I don't say it in an egotistical way, and don't want it to come across like that but it's true. Can you please explain what you mean by "highest ontological levels" and "cosmic center"? I had an epiphany yesterday about my life - no point in sharing it here because it's so personal, suffice to say the issues I've had with certain groups up until now, although they've been enormous, will not matter so much as me maturing and using the energy invested in them in different ways in my work from this point on. You must have good intuition or something, because there has been a mutual "last ditch effort" feeling at play recently - old cycles have been coming around, but instead of freaking out I've taken myself to a place of authority in the situation. I agree that hexing generally shouldn't be done out of just anger, but this was more a "Soul Anger" kind of situation. Anyway, on with the story...

The Book Depository is great for buying books - free shipping!!! Money was never that important in my mind before, but I had the wrong ideas about it. Like MooNiNite said, chasing it is the wrong way to go about it - waste of time. It's not so important to me that I want a huge amount of it all the time, but important enough to make sure I have a bit more than enough to get what I need and want in life.

Anyone else have Lilith in Scorpio? She's a bitch to integrate. 10th house, 0 degrees. It's pretty cool as well though.

I don't really carry weapons with me. I didn't know what a Kubotan is before seeing this thread so I looked it up. I think I'll get one because it's pretty cool. Lots of things can be used as weapons, though. Like keys. Gouge, grind, stab & strike - all with a key. Wouldn't want to catch a key gouge to the ear.

Scorpio Sun, Mars, Mercury, Pluto & Lilith. Aries Moon, Aquarius Rising. As far as intensity goes, I'm likely fairly high up there for a lot of people. I have a 2nd stellium in Capricorn in the 12th house. I think everyone born in the few months around when I was have a Capricorn stellium...I remember reading that somewhere. Scorpio is strange - being one actually seems to become really egotistical for a lot of people. Having such a strong Scorpio energy myself I can understand that, but on another level I don't really get it - it's just a star sign, right? Love love love gajxhsbdismahycjsTHUNK.

I've begun a long process that's proving very very interesting...I'm sharing it because people on this forum have provided me with many tips, bits of advice and good discussions. It started with me becoming fed up and distressed with being completely bogged down in collective psychic energy and also accumulated psychic attacks, including actual very Black Magick which I have been a target of for many years. I was at my wits end - I'd tried many things and nothing seemed to work for very long and I couldn't figure out why...perhaps it was karma, but right now I don't want to believe that I could have been such a dick to people in other lifetimes. Anyway, one night I was at someone house - a Woman with whom I regularly spent time with for a short while, maybe a couple a months. Our connection was deep and promising, however she would not allow it to blossom in the way it could have. It was late. I was exhausted from energy I'd picked up, unable to sleep and reeling from having long-repressed memories of Satanic Ritual Abuse come up to the surface only a few months before, on a day that would change my past as I knew it, and change my life forever. I was hurt. I could not (and still can't) understand why I've experienced the trouble, the horror that I've faced in life and why I'm such a psychic sponge as well - I've become jaded towards the Human Race and to be honest I'm not sure that will change. I love people, but I'm jaded. I needed a solution that would last. I got up off the Yoga cushion I was sitting on in her living room and wandered into the yard - the stars beckoned and comforted... It hit me then: I had to find a way to transmute all of the collective energy I've mopped up AND all of the Magick people have sent my way. It's the way I feel is best to deal with this and the process is now underway - it will likely take years but the end result will be worth it and the results so far have been absolutely fascinating. I basically conceived of an Energetic Filter System (™) that's designed to reveal exactly what has come to me and who it's come from, and then transform the energy of each "thing" into energy that I can readily use for whatever purpose I decide at a later time. I drew up a diagram of the System, with me in the center and meditated on it, projecting into the ether. It took a little while for it to become rooted within me, but now it has. It's hardcore - that's no exaggeration. I'd think carefully before trying something like this, but for me it's right. As things have come through the Filter I've literally taken on (like an Invocation) the people that have sent them, meaning I feel, at the physical level, all the things that person "X" felt as they sent, say, a curse to me, to the point of speaking exactly as they would if they were cursing me, including taking on their voice and facial expressions. As each thing comes through the Filter to my conscious awareness I take note of it, transmute it and place it into storage for use at a later time. I can manipulate it if I want to - say, if I'm busy with something - so it doesn't interrupt my work. I believe a similar concept to this exists in Chaos Magick, called an ESHE. It is absolutely fascinating, though freaky at times. Please don't try anything like this unless you're sure you can handle it - it's risky, time consuming and very confronting, but it's working for me. .Peace/War/Love/Life/Death/Eternity. Unseen_Abilities P.S I'll stay out of Ballarat.

I only read the O.P but I've experienced what you're talking about extensively. It seems to be an almost archetypal thing - stepping outside other peoples expectations and opinions of you, or coming across stronger or more empowered than others as a result of working on yourself and then attracting negative energy from people. I don't view it as sprits attacking through other people, more so as other people feeling cheated or upset that they haven't done the same and are still stuck in their old cycles. Let's face it, its a sick world we live in. Walking around the city right now I can see it. I can see the sickness, I can feel the sickness, I perceive the sickness and I think it's getting worse. Maybe be prepared to live life away from most other people - that's where I'm at right now. Do what you can to do something Creative and be yourself anyway.

I have summoned tests of strength, I need to know, it has to happen. Body & mind - tests of strength.
