A Pop Quiz for Magicians, Parts I-XI (from Intro to Magic 101), Plus FAQ and Bio (at the end)
(Somewhat
on the lighter side as in humorous; but be careful what you wish for. The intent is not to inspire but to encourage
people to think and also to laugh.
Often individuals take sides or start
with assumptions or a point of view and perspective. On the other hand, any fledgling telepath
knows right away that there are many points of views and alternatives with most
questions. Or, as the higher spirits like to point out, “It all depends on how
you ask the question and for whom the answer is intended.”)

In the later sections are interviews, talk shows, debates, minor evocations,
explorations, and even a Mid Term Exam which you are all welcome to sit in on,

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING ARE TRUE ABOUT MAGIC?
Magic is the highest wisdom on earth.
Magic is the highest science on earth.
Sex magic is the highest magic on earth.
Magic and science produce the same results. They just use different methods.
Magic has been kept secret from the public and is highly restricted during this divine dispensation because of the way it was abused during previous civilizations.
There are two tests for studying magic—1. You must be convinced that you can correct whatever mistakes you make along the way and 2. You believe you are pure enough to avoid abusing your power. (If you are not bothered by making mistakes and abusing your power, then these two points do not apply. Instead refer to the classic text, The Final Test if the Dark Side is Your Quest.)
Ninety-seven per cent of the magic
practiced on earth is “pretend” magic. The only genuine test of magic is if you
have used it to significantly transform the world in a positive manner. (Note: Generally speaking, house rules do not
award points for using magic to destroy things.
It is too easy, there is too much of that kind of activity, and so we
have decided to acknowledge only creativity.)
Magic is the study of how to
make the best choices in life.
To be a magician you have to become a
spiritual being. Your commitment must be
absolute so you carry no doubts. And
there must be a place within your spirit which is free of all fear. (From The Undine Osipeh).
WHICH IS THE MOST LIKELY
QUESTION OR
COMMENT PEOPLE WILL MAKE ABOUT YOUR STUDYING MAGIC
Is there any money in it?
You mean you’re pulling rabbits out of hats?
Shouldn’t you be looking for answers in the Bible?
Can you use it to find a sex partner?
Didn’t magic go out of
fashion five hundred years ago when people gave up trying to turn lead into
gold?
I always knew you were weird.
THE HERMETIC MAGICIAN FRANZ BARDON EXPECTS STUDENTS TO ACCOMPLISH WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING?
Develop a level of concentration so that like the movie director Steven Spielberg they can imagine an entire movie unfolding before their eyes including all of the characters’ actions, feelings, and words.
Develop the concentration of an advanced Zen Master who can stop all thoughts from appearing in his mind at will whenever he wants and for as long as he wants.
Develop the level of vitality of a sixth don Aikido master, a grand master of Tai Chi Chuan, or an advanced yogi.
Develop a level of psychological analysis and self-understanding equivalent to having several Ph. D’s in psychology.
Develop mastery over the electric fluid so that you can keep your flashlight working when the batteries go dead.
Be able to dissolve all negative energy from a magical attack simply by placing your hand in a bucket of water.
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS TRUE ABOUT TELEPATHY?
Telepathy involves reading the exact thoughts occurring in another’s mind as they happen.
Telepathy never involves reading the exact thoughts in another’s mind as they are occurring. Instead, telepathy is art—as in any form of translation, there is always a degree of difficulty and always an element of interpretation.
The best way to begin practicing telepathy is by transmitting and receiving sensory impressions involving smell since smell gives the strongest sensations.
In telepathy, a single impression sent from a spirit can be received/perceived in either visual, auditory, or sensory sensations and can contain the equivalent of volumes of books.
The best way to begin practicing telepathy is by sending a little white ball of energy from your forehead to your partner’s forehead containing a single impression you wish to communicate.
Telepathy, like all magic, entails a lot of listening and a little technique. (Peter Beagle)
You have to establish a “listening silence” before anything will happen. (Eugene Gendlin)
Join your mind and the mind of another so they are one and you won’t have a problem with communication or interpretation. (Bagoloni—earthzone spirit)
The best way of learning
telepathy is to practice turning on and off an electric train using a
galvameter hooked up to a plant and an electric switch.
And now
for a word from one of our spiritual anthropologists: “Though she and I sometimes
speak aloud with words for the sake of dramatic effect, no thought or image is
needed when we communicate. She speaks
as a harpist communicates moods through the touch of her fingers on the strings
of her harp--but the strings are my nerves and the moods she creates are a flow
of love from her heart into my own.” (from the undine Istiphul)
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING INDICATES THAT MAGIC IS REAL AND STILL HAS AN ACTIVE ROLE TO PLAY IN OUR WORLD?
A team of scientists consults with you for a $30 million contract they have with Boeing Aircraft for developing an antigravity engine for airplanes.
The CIA consults with you on why their death ray device works using only a radionics diagram of a machine rather than the actual machine.
The Pentagon consults with
you on their secret experiments for strengthening the steadily weakening
After taking a course on “remote viewing” with a former CIA operative, you can now “locate” your car keys when you misplace them.
Your cat and dog come when you call them telepathically.
You sell your “dragon slaying sword” from your on-line role playing game for $800 on eBay.
You discover you can turn on an electric train from anywhere on earth by sending a telepathic message to a plant hooked up to a galvameter and the electric train switch.
Steven Hawkin consults with you because astrophysicists still can not locate ninety-five per cent of the matter in the universe that is missing and that emits no radiation detectable by scientific instruments.
The company stock (Netease [ADR]) you bought that runs Chinese on-line role playing magic games doubles in value netting you a cool ten grand.
Like the Televangelist, Pat Robinson, you convince yourself that you can control the direction of hurricanes.
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING WOULD BE A SUITABLE STORY INVOLVING NATURE SPIRITS?
A sylph falls in love with a human poet and assumes the form of a woman to be his lover. But she later falls victim to the racial and religious bigotry of that society.
A male magician falls in love with an undine who “borrows” the body of a human woman to become his lover—things may or may not work out in this one.
A powerful magician wagers that will is greater than love in attempting to take possession of one of the queen of undines.
One of the highest ranking female sylphs tries to outsmart a powerful wizard who has managed to encase her in a jar.
A powerful salamander (also called a genie) becomes attached to a lamp and is forced to grant wishes. (Aladdin)
An advanced gnome enjoys
bargaining and trading rare magical items with human magicians down through the
ages.
A man suspects that his
lover, though possessing the form of a woman, may actually be a mermaid who was
traded for a human child. As the man
probes deeper into this mystery, he discovers ancient forms of magic that lead
into the mysterious realms of nature spirits.
ASSIGN THE FOLLOWING KINDS OF BEINGS TO THEIR CORRECT DESCRIPTIONS--SALAMANDERS, SEALES, UNDINES, GNOMES, SYLPHS—
They seize each moment with zeal in order to dissolve the obstacles blocking their path to fulfillment.
For them each moment is a magnetic sea containing the dreams and the taste of ecstasy--each moment arises from and resonates with the love sustaining all life on earth.
They are able to transfer their astral bodies at will into a human woman or into a seal.
For them, anything in physical existence is constantly transforming, solidifying and dissolving again--in each moment matter and emptiness are flowing through each other like water being poured into water.
These beings enter each moment seeking to attain and to abide in complete harmony.
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING ARE TRUE ABOUT THE GREAT WHITE BROTHERHOOD?
It is an offshoot of the Ku Klux Klan that promotes Aryan supremacy.
Is a male oriented secret society that gave rise to the Masons and the Rosicrucians.
Is a group of white magicians who socialize together on the inner planes in extravagant virtual reality temples that they take turns creating through their power of visualization.
Recently changed its name to the Great White Personhood in order to be more politically correct.
There is no Great White Brotherhood. Any mature magician is in direct contact with Divine Providence and has no need of joining a group in order to accomplish his work.
No, the Great White
Brotherhood is the group of magicians who work
directly with Divine Providence and are also know as Brothers of Light because
they have penetrated into the sphere of the sun.
Due to a still classified
altercation with the Illuminati, a
number of the Ascended Masters composing the Great White Brotherhood have now
moved on to better things. Therefore, the Great White Brotherhood is proud to
announce it is now accepting applications from earth plane masters to fill
these openings. Think of it! An officially certified Ascended Master
ranking can now be yours. Simply
submit a one page essay on “Why I Should
Be Called an Ascended Master” to
any occult publishing company that publishes our works.
No, the Great White
Brotherhood, whether real or not, is part of a conspiracy (probably invented by
the Theosophists) to delude spiritual seekers into believing that there really
is some masterful group of high initiates on the inner planes. The purpose of setting forth this delusion is
to seduce the innocent into giving their attention, time, but mainly money to those who claim to speak on behalf of
the Great Delusion.
It does not matter in the least if there is
or is not a Great White Brotherhood. The
point is that for just a little time and money you too can join with those
(who no doubt are con men who believe their own con) who speak for and work with the GWB and share in this
self-deception, group delusion, and neurological dysfunction—I mean, where is
their brain during all of this?
Announcement:
We at the Great White Brotherhood would like to say that we do
not mind others making fun of us. We
love humor and a well written satire.
And furthermore we officially recognize that even blasphemy is one of
the rights of free speech guaranteed in a democracy.
The Great White Brotherhood,
whether real or not, may be construed as a “safety net” for spiritual
practitioners. In other words, if you
should pursue the great enterprise of raising your consciousness through a
rigorous magical and spiritual training system, the Great White Brotherhood will
be there for you should you run into serious problems.
Neat, huh? Should you fall off the high trapeze that
circles the earth from the heights of akasha, down below are those who have
ascended before you and who are ready to catch yah. Well, don’t count it. Come to think of it, I am noticing all this
blood and guts, bone and broken skulls lying around down here on the circus
floor.
(looking up
at the trapeze)
I wonder if perhaps those
spiritual adventurers would have been a little more careful, perhaps practiced
a little more diligently, if they had known that the floor where you end up if
you fall is so hard?
No, we demons would like to
put in a word here. We would just like
to say that we “sell protection” from accidents, you could call it spiritual
insurance. That’s right folks. Keeping your feet on the ground is always
advice most profound and we have found that by meeting your own needs first you
will remain safe and sound.
So don’t go climbing ladders up to heaven
when it might be best to lay away a few treasures first here on earth. So many people think of us as the enemy. No, No.
We are just friendly and our job description reads clearly: Wherein and
wherefore the Great White Brotherhood may not be able to catch someone falling
from a spiritual height (due to previous spiritual commitments), you are hereby
commissioned to protect and uphold the journey of those who are heaven
bound.
Understand now? We are the keepers of the gates of
reality. And before you use one of those
spiritual keys to escape, you will have to get past us, for we also have a deep
respect for the law of gravity—for responsibility, limitation, karma, and
restriction. That’s right. Before you ascend you have to first
comprehend the purpose behind the “descent” that delivered you here. To put it simply, before you can tight rope
walk high among the clouds, you have to first learn to
walk with your feet on the ground.
“Q” from the TV series, Star Trek, was introduced into the script
through the influence of the Great White Brotherhood. The Brothers wished to keep alive and revive
a public image worthy of their celestial notoriety and so used dramatic
conflict to portray their inner plane activity.
This is in the same way that Marvel
Comics has kept alive mythology through its outlandish heroics and
villainy. In both cases, the goal is to
prime the pump within the astral body so that the imaginations of the masses
can still contemplate spirituality.
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING WOULD MAKE THE BEST THEME FOR AN OCCULT NOVEL:
You are an advanced magician who has attained immortality through your practice. But to remain immortal you must avoid having love affairs with women. You fall in love with a young girl, get her pregnant, lose your immortality, die by guillotine, and your daughter ends up being an orphan.
You become the high priest of Atlantis but with all the distractions and commotions you betray your true love and so end up whining and complaining through all your subsequent incarnations on earth about how guilty you feel. (Dweller on Two Planets) You also later renounce your occult writing and become a Christian.
You decide on a lark to
accomplish a magical incarnation by enticing a lunar spirit to incarnate as a human
girl. But you quickly lose interest in this incarnated spirit once she is
born and move on to other things including your cocaine addiction. (Moonchild
by
Abandoned on a remote island by a relative who has stolen your political power and position, you attain justice in the end by utilizing the dark arts of magic. Having restored the balance, you now renounce magic and get back to ordinary living. (Shakespeare’s The Tempest)
A magician gets trapped under a stone by his lover. A king, due to pagan influences, mates with his sister to produce a son who later destroys his kingdom. Your best friend and head of your armed forces has sex with your wife and then carries her off to his own kingdom. But out of guilt she decides to become celibate and enters a monastery. There is an additional side quest involving some sort of religious relic, a cup or something, that apparently possesses the same magical powers as a cauldron in Celtic mythology; but the king who holds this cup has been wounded in a part of his body that should not be mentioned in polite company. (The Death of Arthur)
Having acquired all wisdom of your age you remain doubtful of God’s existence. So you sell your soul to the devil to find out if there is a God but later all is forgiven because your quest for the truth is sincere. There is also a young girl who gets screwed in the process. (Goethe’s Faust)
A vampire forces a writer to listen to his coming of age story. (Interview with a Vampire by Ann Rice) You later renounce your occult writing and become a Christian and decide to write the young Christ’s coming of age story.
IN THE AUTHURIAN LEGENDS, KING ARTHUR’S LIFE DEPENDS ON THE ANSWER TO THE FOLLOWING RIDDLE—WHAT DO WOMEN DESIRE FROM MEN? WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING SHOULD BE THE ANSWER:
Women desire that a man be
sovereign over them.
No, not sovereign. Women are happiest when men are in control and tell them what to do. But then again when have women ever wanted just to be happy?
What women want most from men are money and the status that goes with it. Some want children and a few want sex.
Women want the man’s strength and power to join with their own to make a home. And in that home they want love to flow without barriers or boundaries through body and soul.
Women are waiting for a lover who is wise, strong, and tender to discover their secrets, to taste their bliss, to ravish their hearts, and yet who will let them be as wild and free as the sea.
Women desire to give and
receive love with a man in a way that makes the world new.
You think there is an
answer? Story: A guy finds a lamp on a
beach and rubs it and a genie (usually a salamander) appears and offers him one
wish. The guy says “I hate flying and
boats but I want to visit
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS MOSTLY LIKELY TO BE A REINCARNATED MAGICIAN:
Howard Stern, the reincarnation of the famous Chinese Poet Li Po as well as the great Zen Master, Duga, for his well-known contribution to radio talk shows by virtue of his tenacious, life long attempt to answer the Zen question, How does a man get through puberty? (And how can you knock a guy who is getting paid two hundred million dollars by satellite radio to rant on like a broken record about sex and the curiosities of puberty?)
Bob Guglioni, the founder of Penthouse Magazine and the reincarnation of Sir Isaac Newton, for giving ten million dollars out of his own pocket in the 1970’s for the research of nuclear fusion, a non-toxic alternative form of energy. ($10 million in 1970 with appreciation and inflation is about $140 million today).
Hugh Heffner, the founder of Playboy Magazine and the reincarnation of both Virgil and Goethe, for being the first to racially integrate television in the U.S. as well as publishing the first writings of virtually every major American writer for thirty years. Net worth—probably $205 million.
Bill Gates (the reincarnation of Sir Francis Drake and Genghis Khan), Using cut throat monopolistic practices, he has virtually stolen $900 billion from the rest of the world by forcing other nations to “outsource” computer operating systems to the U.S. for twenty years. However, he has now founded the largest charity in the history of mankind worth $24 billion. He uses this charity to raise the living standard of poor people around the world so they can afford to buy computers with his operating system.
Marilyn Monroe, for finally
embodying what in her previous incarnation as the man Casanova (as well as the
author, Ovid, during the Roman Empire) he/she sought to capture--the perfection
of every man’s desire. (Her net worth
wasn’t that much. Her value is more a
cultural icon thing.)
Reminds me of the five
wizards sent into Middle Earth from
No, the spiritual vision of Netzach is that of a beautiful, naked woman. Every magician is required in his training to master the intricate complexities and the subtle nuances, the sensual tonalities and the full emotional spectrum of vibrations hidden within this vision.
IT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR MAGICIANS TO HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT USING MAGIC TO WIN A LOTTERY. THIS MONEY COULD BE USED FOR A GOOD PURPOSE. YOUR BEST RESPONSE--
A magician, especially one
having mastered the cosmic letter “k,” is able to take possession of any
treasure on earth if it serves his spiritual purpose. Kind of like George
Washington requisitioning privately owned boats in order to cross the
No matter how sacred your purpose, you are not permitted any extravagances or short cuts, kind of like the instructions the head of Mossad gives his agents on secret missions—“I want a receipt for everything—and no prostitutes or no lap dances.”
Using magic to win a lottery is like stealing money from the poor to give to the poor—what kind of Robin Hood would do that?
States lotteries are “non profit” activities used to fund education and other public institutions. Individuals spend money from their own pocket to buy tickets which offers them hope when their lives may have no hope. And groups of investors buy tickets in large numbers balancing risk and return. To use magic to gain a favorable outcome would be to undermine all these honest and legitimate efforts. In other words, you generate a bad karma—you will have to pay back at some later date every cent that you take.
If you do win, the state gaming commission, the FBI, the CIA, the mafia, and other interested parties or outraged individuals will want “interviews” with you because they will find out.
There is no problem
winning. After all, magicians are superior to other people and everyone
will understand that you are going to use this money for a noble purpose. And although magic is intended to create
wealth and not just take it out of one person’s pocket and put it into another
person’s pocket as a lottery does, magicians are still superior to other
people. This is because part of a
magicians training is in being a pickpocket as well as thieving in general. I
mean who can steal thoughts, feelings, vitality, and dreams like a
magician?
Let’s review. “Some of the worst things imaginable have
been done with the best of intentions.” (Jurassic
Part II) What if demons are in
charge of awarding the winning ticket in some lotteries. Well then, you would be invading their turf,
won’t you? Kind of like wearing the
wrong colors in the wrong part of LA.
No for
lotteries but yes for casinos.
Casinos, unlike lotteries, are “for profit” enterprises and someone is always
trying to cheat them. This cost or loss is figured into their daily
operating expenses. (See the movie Cooler for how casinos are fighting back
to prevent magicians from cashing in the chips).
Actually the stock market is
the traditional arena where criminals, honest investors, and reincarnated
magicians fight to see who will win and who will lose. (See David Swensen’s book, Unconventional Success. Swensen, a reincarnated magician and
recognized financial adept, has doubled the total endowment of
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING
NON-MAGICAL ACTIVITIES WOULD YOU ALSO CONSIDER FOR UNDERWRITING YOUR SPIRITUAL
PURPOSES? (I MEAN, WHY GO TO THE BOTHER OF DOING MAGIC WHEN SO MUCH MONEY
IS AVAILABLE THROUGH NON-MAGICAL MEANS)
As church treasurer, you write out checks to yourself, cash them, and then paste your church’s name over your name on the checks. Then you Xerox copies of these checks and place them in the church files so they look like normal church expenses. ($1.2 million—treasurer of First Lutheran Church of Grosse Pointe who lives down the block from me)
Work with an appraiser, a
buyer, and a seller to gain loans for more than homes are worth and then pocket
the cash the bank pays the seller. ($30 million—a
Persuade the head of a few
trucking companies to accept kickbacks for issuing fake invoices for work never
done in relocating a number of buildings in your city for urban renewal. ($8
million which he then blew in casinos—City Controller of
Gift stock and stock options
to zoning commissioners, city management, local and
state officials for an indoor gulf course while selling the stock to the public
and transferring the balance to your off-shore accounts. ($65 million—Skyland
Park Management Company,
Charge one per cent per year
on the balance of accounts you invest for others until you manage $1 billion
dollars and receive $10 million a year for your trouble. (some successful financial advisors).
As an unlicensed financial
advisor, issue false financial statements to your clients showing they are
getting 20% return on their investments while you gamble away their money in
day trading. Meanwhile use new client’s
money to make payments to older clients. When the judge asks you to explain,
say “I thought that is what banks did—they take one clients money and give it
to other clients.” (
Pray for money when you need
it. You may receive a check from your insurance company after your house
burns down but, hey, you got the money, didn’t you? (a
man in
Money is never a
problem. It always comes shortly after you pray for it. And when it
no longer comes? Time to die. (a Wiccan in the state of
Forget prayer. Set up an
on-line pornographic pay for view website. The world wide revenues for
all such sites are currently $150 billion a year. Shouldn’t part of this
money be used for “the Lord’s work?”
There are countless ways of getting hold of individuals’ financial data to make withdraws from their checking accounts and charge their credit cards. Think Internet. Why it will be at least another seven years before adequate security is in place to prevent this. The window of opportunity is there. Even without your participation, figure $300 billion will be taken from the innocent in the next seven years. Shouldn’t some of this money “be going to the Lord’s work?” Oh yes, by the way, consider travel packages to nations with no extradition.
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS NOT IN THE DEMONIC MANUAL OF HOW TO RUN A “CON,” THAT IS, SCAM PEOPLE OUT OF AND/OR DESTORY THEIR MONEY, FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, TRUST, INTELLIGENCE, AND WILL POWER?
One of the best cons is a Ponzie scheme—be as generous and reward as much as you can for small actions in the beginning until the mark becomes “hooked” before taking what you want from them.
The supreme con, beyond all other cons, is always accomplished by convincing yourself first beyond all doubt and with total sincerity that what you are doing is right and will be of the greatest benefit to others. (To beat these guys you have to do a thorough background check and in-depth analysis of their purposed actions. But that still won’t help if your weakness is deluding yourself).
The best method is the “soft sell”—you get others through their own incentive to freely “give you” whatever it is you want from them by virtue of your friendship, your sincerity, the way you trust them, and the deep emotional bond you have formed.
Your opportunities for fooling others will always be in direct proportion to your degree of intelligence, charm, and friendliness.
Intermittent rewards are the most effective for “hooking” others into doing what you want—you give small and large rewards but in an unpredictable manner so that others feels some efforts are immediately rewarded while other rewards come unexpectedly without any effort. Never give rewards to others on a consistent basis because they will then believe you “owe it” to them or they will feel you are trying to manipulate them.
To test another person’s submission to your will all you need is one of the following: demand the person believe certain beliefs, feel specific feelings, or act as you act.
Reveal to others their highest purpose in life but convince them in the process that because of the sacredness, holiness, or nobility of this purpose “the ends justify the means.”
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING BEST INCREASES YOUR CHANCES OF WORKING SUCCESSFULLY WITH SPIRITS OF THE EARTHZONE?
Ability to have a mind free of all thoughts for a half hour.
Having several elemental beings, nature spirits, who enjoy hanging out with you.
Being able to create several elemental beings (elementaries) who completely obey your will.
Having successfully evoked your Holy Guardian Angel.
Encountering the darkness in yourself.
Being able
to “create” causes in the akasha for things that later manifest in the physical
world.
Having a close relative who
is a spirit of the earthzone along with good references from several masters.
Finishing
your eight year degree program in Bachelor of Magical Arts at the
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING BEST INDICATE THAT SOMETHING IS STARTING TO GO SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH YOUR MAGIC PRACTICE?
Your elementaries (magically created servants) begin swearing at you.
Demons enjoy hanging out with you.
You discover that you enjoy talking to ghosts more than to living people.
Women no longer enjoy having sex with you.
You miss your second mortgage payment after maxing out your three credit cards.
The spirits in your personal hierarchy start saying, “Don’t call us. We’ll call you.”
While you are asleep and
dreaming, an amateur magician in
You begin to like the image
of your worst self more than the
image of your best when you look
into your black and white magic mirrors of your soul.
FOLLOWING THE RULES OF EVOCATION, WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING SHOULD YOU NOT CHOOSE AS A SPIRIT FOR YOUR FIRST EVOCATION:
Nith-Haiah, the archangel of all magicians on earth.
Cigila, who maintains a spiritual web site listing every divine mission available on earth.
Ugolog, who will willingly reveal the past, present, and future of any human being, each person’s true spiritual path, and all future incarnations up to final perfection.
Cermiel, who presides over each individual soul during its existence between incarnations. In other words, he knows the answer to the pseudo Zen question, What was my face before my father was born.
Anamil, who, using “electro magnetic volts” in the akasha, can guarantee a solution to any problem on earth.
NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN YOU PERFORM AN EVOCATION EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE USING A MAGIC WAND, CAP, BELT, INCENSE, ROBE, DAGGER, MIRROR, CIRCLE, AND TRIANGLE. THE MOST LIKELY EXPLANATION IS
You let someone touch your magic wand. Never let anyone touch your magic wand.
That book you bought on eBay, Quick and Easy Lessons for Clairvoyance and Telepathy, is not on the approved reading list for the Magicians Guild.
The spirit you evoked is actually standing in front of you inside your magic triangle. You just can’t see or hear it. Everything is ok. Just don’t let the spirit know that you can not see or hear it.
It is always better to hire someone for $3,000 from the local occult book store to walk you through your first evocation.
If you can’t afford the $3,000, you can hire an experienced medium for $300 from your local occult book store who will “channel” a spirit. In this way, you can get answers to your questions and “hear” what the spirit has to say to you.
If you can’t afford the $300, try working as a medium in your local occult book store until you have enough savings.
You are not utilizing the resources available to you from the “Quick Answers for Magicians Having Difficulties” Phone Service that you can subscribe to on an annual basis for $243.
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING ARE TRUE ABOUT SPHERIC MAGIC?
The 72 spirits of the sphere of Mercury make up the absolutely secret, unpronounceable, and never to be written name of God (pronounced and written as Shem Ham Phorus) and these spirits know how to get things done.
The spirits of the sphere of Mars and Saturn may kill you on your first evocation unless you know those spheres’ secret passwords.
The spirits of the sphere of Uranus are the custodians of all magic in our solar system.
The spirits of the sphere of Pluto are not suitable for this phase of human evolution, that is, they don’t take calls.
The supreme spirit of this solar system is an embodiment of cosmic love which is fitting since our solar system is the heart chakra for a set of seven solar systems.
Evocation is not necessary for contacting spirits of the spheres. You can simply engage them through “mental wandering.”
Contacting spirits through evocation or mental wandering is not necessary since any spirit’s quality or power can be mastered by working with the cosmic language of the Kabbalah.
THE BEST REASON FOR NEVER RECOMMENDING THE FRANZ BARDON BOOKS OF MAGIC TO ANYONE IS:
In a word—temptation. For a reincarnated magician, a demon will make a courtesy call within two years offering “free gifts” in return for a little consideration.
These books accelerate your karma so that a student of them will encounter the worst in himself in the next five years instead of in the next fifty years.
The books reveal how to acquire divine power. As such, the individual must first make an absolute commitment to the light before utilizing this power otherwise he will destroy part of his soul if any abuse occurs.
They are too difficult and so a waste of time for most people.
They have serious flaws, false information, and errors in them.
It costs one million dollars to train a B-1 bomber pilot. It costs at two million dollars to pay for your living expenses for a life time while you attempt to master the exercises in these books. Why you would have to win a lottery to get money like that.
Nonsense. You are actually doing a good deed by sharing with others something you find helpful for yourself.
AFTER WORKING HARD AT STUDYING MAGIC FOR TWENTY YEARS, WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING JUSTIFIES ALL THAT WORK AND EFFORT:
You attain a brief experience with omnipresence in which you are aware of everything in the entire universe, including every speck of dust, among two hundred billion galaxies.
You get to hang out with the most beautiful creature on earth, the undine Istiphul, who initiates you into her mysteries of erotic love.
You get to hang out with numerous Venus spirits like Hagiel, Guru, Gomah, etc. who in the future will become the teachers of mankind in the areas of love, ecstasy, art, and intimacy.
You get to hang out with the higher spirits of the sun who reveal to you the original inspiration behind why the universe was created.
You learn through first hand experience the answers to you deepest questions about the mystery of life.
All that study allows you to work out your karma (to pay back to mankind the debts you owe) so that now you can finally put magic aside and get on with living a normal life.
Your magic allows you a brief interview with God in which He promises to give “serious consideration” to whatever petitions you make.
WHEN THE DALAI LAMA SAYS, “TAKE UP TO TWELVE YEARS TO SCRUTINIZE A MASTER BEFORE BECOMING HIS DISCIPLE,” HE MEANS:
He means what he says, namely, it takes twelve years of careful observation in which you may discover minor inconsistencies that will reveal the major underlying flaws in the master’s teaching, organization, or personality.
The Dalai Lama does not mean what he says. What he really means is that you do not have to rush or feel pressured to become a discipline. Just make sure you feel completely comfortable with a master before becoming his student.
He means what he says, namely, attend the master’s seminars. Read all of the master’s books. Interview a number of the master’s new and older students. Compare this master’s approach to masters in similar and different traditions. This may take you a few months or a number of years. The idea is to make sure that the master you choose not only feels right but is right for you.
WHEN YOU ATTAIN PERFECT, COMPLETE, AND ABSOLUTE ENLIGHTENMENT YOU ….
Become omniscient.
You free yourself from suffering and the cycle of death and rebirth caused by false attachments so that you do not have to incarnate on earth again.
You are able to turn bad people into good people by your touch. (movie Golden Child).
People will build large, gold plated statutes of you for thousands of years. (see the history of Buddhism)
Your relics will radiate a light that will bring peace and prosperity to whichever kingdom possesses them. (movie Warriors of Heaven and Earth)
“You attain exactly nothing.” “There is no attainment and nothing to attain.” (Heart Sutra)
THE REASON WHY WESTERN MAGICIANS DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ENLIGHTENMENT IS
Because
they do not live on the flight path of Buddhist masters traveling between the
Orient and
Become Western magicians are more concerned with will power which is an aspect of the fire element than enlightenment which is an aspect of the air element.
Buddhism only makes sense within a feudal society. That is, it requires a society with a rigid class structure, massive amounts of suffering due to overpopulation, and limited economic opportunity. Buddhist celibacy, monastic living, and detachment are among the best ways of getting your head clear under such circumstances.
Western magicians do not know anything about enlightenment because it never occurred to them.
Because wearing light or dark orange or saffron robes, burning incense sticks, and sitting on a mat does not seem challenging enough for a Western magician.
Because for a Western magician having wisdom means you transform yourself through the act of transforming the world. By comparison, for a Buddhist having wisdom means that you transform yourself first and then, and only then, will your mind be clear enough to think effectively about how to transform the world.
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING INDICATES THAT YOUR “MASTER” IS CONSCIOUSLY OR NOT, DIRECTLY OR INADVERTENTLY, WILLINGLY OR UNWILLNGLY, WORKING FOR OR ON TEMPOARY LOAN TO THE DARK SIDE, THAT IS, TO THE DEMONIC ORDER? (I AM NOT MAKING THESE UP).
The master, though his number one disciple, tells you that you must sign over all your assets to his organization while you are studying with him in order to show good faith and demonstrate your commitment to the lineage.
The master tells you must take a vow never to reveal his teachings to anyone else including his other students because these teachings are meant only for you. Later on you discover that he is teaching his other students the exact same things he is teaching you.
After taking the above vow and studying for ten years, the master tells you to assassinate another student who left the organization in order to “preserve the holiness of our lineage.” But don’t do it if this individual turns over all royalties, foreign, movie, and subsidiary rights as well as spin off royalties and a percentage of any future unrelated publications back to the organization after having written an unauthorized book about the sacred teachings.
Taking you to the side, the master casually confides in you that you should always charge your students as much as you can but not so much that you lose them because the more you charge the more seriously they will take your teachings.
The master tells you that in
order to study further with him you must commit yourself to being his disciple
for your next three incarnations.
Most run of the mill masters, prepackaged and prefabricated by overzealous and narrow minded traditions (or lineages), are actually not demonic or working with the dark side at all. They simply do not rise any higher in inspiration than abusive parents—who are incapable of acknowledging someone else’s thoughts and feelings and get angry as a defense when you try to express yourself. And behind this little veil of inferiority they pretend they are superior.
WHICH IS THE
It is not what you say or claim, but the way you can tap the fundamental fears, feelings of helplessness, frustration, etc. of your listeners. For example, blame your conspiracy on some disadvantaged or suspicious social or ethnic group which you never liked anyway.
Present a theory which is coherent, systematic, and internally consistent but which has no means whatsoever of verifying through empirical observation.
If you must present evidence, use only one independent source.
Make sure your conspiracy is being discussed openly. But leave numerous trails of disinformation containing false evidence that will cause the investigators of your theory to be publicly ridiculed and debunked so that your actual conspiracy can remain hidden.
Create “real” conspiracies by funding and promoting extremists groups whose actual threats and radical ideas. This will distract anyone with intelligence from discerning the deeper, far more malicious and devastating conspiracy you are planning.
Never ever link yourself in any way to a conspiracy. Instead, inspire and feed information to young, naïve but highly motivated and talented individuals so that they imagine themselves creating the conspiracy.
There really are no
conspiracies. If there were, Copernicus,
There is no best way to present a conspiracy theory. When you feel helpless, vulnerable, or used, simply blame your feelings on an invisible organization that is in control, invulnerable, and abusive. If you can’t find one under “the official list of old and new conspiracies” on Google, feel free to make one up.
If you get tired of hearing
about conspiracies, simply convince yourself that you are the one behind the
scenes controlling the fate of the world.
Those who believe in
conspiracies lack imagination because they fail to understand both sides of a
question. Every conspiracy, even real
ones, on some level has a valid interest and a useful purpose. Lord of
War is a brilliant movie because it allows the bad guy to fully articulate
his motivation and purpose—e.g., the protagonist says more people are killed by
alcohol and tobacco than by the sale of guns each year; and the U.S. sells more
weapons to other nations in one day than he sells in a year; and he serves the
U.S national interest by selling arms to countries which the U.S. can not
officially support.
A movie like Syriana is not so brilliant because it blindly labels international
oil companies as being bad while failing to represent their legitimate
functions. And it stupidly assumes oil
reserves are running out.
You don’t have a compelling movie until the
bad guy states the real reasons why what he does is the best thing for everyone
(at least in his own mind). The same
with a conspiracy—you have to get inside the mind of the conspirators and allow
them to articulate with great intelligence why their actions are invaluable. (And of course, once you truly understand the
minds of the conspirators you are officially authorized by akasha to modify
that conspiracy according to your own secret purposes.)
UFOs are taking possession of the minds of human beings? Well then human beings can take possession of the minds of UFOs. No one gets a free pass when it comes to world domination. There is always someone in the wings ready to steal the movement and drive it in a new direction. And this person could be you.
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING
INDIVIDUALS USED MAGIC IN THE
Moses who called the Angel of Death to kill the first born male of every Egyptian in order to persuade the Pharaoh to “let my people go.”
The prophet
Isaiah for calling the Angel of Death to wipe out two thirds of the Assyrian army
besieging
Pope Leo, when he left Rome and walked out all by himself, to persuade Attila the Hun to take his massive army and turn around and go back home?
The King, during the Norman Invasion, for paying a Catholic Priest to perform a mass to change the wind direction so his ships could sail from France to England in order to invade in a timely manner?
St. Patrick
for banishing all the snakes from
General Patton, for ordering his personal chaplain to write a prayer which Patton read aloud to get the clouds to clear so his planes could bomb the Germans during the Battle of the Bulge?
St. Germaine who “manifested” during the Continental Congress to inspire the delegates to stop bickering and finish writing the constitution?
JOSEPH CAMPBELL SAYS THAT ALL SPIRITUAL QUESTS ARE THE SAME STORY TOLD IN TEN THOUSAND DIFFERENT WAYS: A HERO IS CALLED, TRICKED, OR FORCED BY NECESSITY INTO CROSSING THE BARRIERS SEPARATING THE KNOWN AND UNKNOWN WORLDS. UPON ENTERING THE UNKNOWN, HE ACQUIRES MYSTERIOUS COMPANIONS WHO HELP HIM OVERCOME DIFFICULTIES UNTIL HE HAS ONE SUPREME ENCOUNTER. WINNING THIS ENCOUNTER, HE ACQUIRES VARIOUS TREASURES THAT HE BRINGS BACK TO ENRICH HIS SOCIETY. WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING DO NOT QUALIFY USING THIS FORMULA?
You go around persecuting and
destroying Jews who became Christians. But after a one time vision on the
road to
It is prophesized at your birth that you will become a king, a great law giver who will bring universal prosperity to your world, or else a great world teacher. Your father, the king, decides he wants you to follow in his steps so he prevents you from ever seeing suffering. You discover suffering in the world and, pissed off at your father’s ploy, decide to strike out on your own and solve this problem once and for all. (Buddha)
God tells you to tell the Assyrians that they are doomed. You choose to ignore God but He sweetens the deal by making you an offer you can’t refuse. You tell the Assyrians they are doomed but get pissed at God because he backs out of his promise to destroy them. (Jonah)
Pissed off at your master with all the pussy footing around with spiritual exercises, you demand that your master give you shaktipat (a transmission of spiritual awareness from the master directly to you). Your master refuses and so in order to convince him of your sincerity you tie a huge rock to your leg and threaten to throw it into the river unless he relents. He gives in to your request. (Swami Rama)
On your spiritual quest, you can’t help thinking about sex. You even start imagining that beautiful women have come to seduce you only to discover that they turn into horrible serpents after you embrace them. But by chance you come upon an out of print book in a lonely cottage that explains everything: behind beautiful women the Goddess Kundalini is waiting to initiate you. (Swami Muktananda)
A second angel appears to you at age six wearing wings, a choir robe, etc. He says you are called to enter “the service.” Getting pissed off you say, “Get lost. I did not incarnate in the twentieth century in order to return to the Piscean age’s blind devotion and religious idiocy.” But the angel, diabolically clever, immediately causes a girl to be born whom you will later meet in life and who entices you through her beauty and vulnerability into studying magic. (W.M.)
You are an electrical engineer who has just successfully designed the nose cone for a missile produced by Hughe’s Aircraft. In a chance meeting, a hereditary witch asks you to study magic with her. You do not believe in magic until she shows up in your office with a candle and tells you to point your finger at the flame and make it bend in different directions. You give it a try and discover you can bend the candle flame at will. You quit your job and open an occult bookstore with her later discovering that you can also cause lightning to strike by pointing your finger. (Bob M.)
Consider: Although magic has
a vital part to play in every age, for the public and for society at large
magic is in fact irrelevant to our world. Which of the following best
support the above statement.
Internet, which is applied technology and not magic, is a direct gift to mankind from the spirits of Uranus, the guardians of all magic. Internet, far more than any magic practice, empowers individuals to transform themselves and the world around them.
You can spend a lifetime dedicated to studying magic. In doing so, you may benefit a few other individuals, maybe a few thousand with whom you have direct contact. But if you help develop one new medicine, one new genetic formula, one new breakthrough in any branch of science, you will benefit tens of millions of people around the world. Going purely by the numbers, magic is not the best investment of your time and energy.
People think that magic speeds things up (the getting something for nothing approach) but it actually is a way of slowing things down so you do things right the first time around. If people realized that studying genuine magic is more expensive in time and energy, in emotion and commitment than any other discipline you will lose ninety-nine per cent of your practitioners.
Though the foundations of modern chemistry arose from the experiments of alchemists in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, since then magic has made no appreciable contribution to culture, law, politics, religion, science, literature, or art. Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings are contributions from fantasy and mythology, not magic.
In the scientific method, you perform an experiment that is reproducible by other individuals. It is subject to observation and verification though quantifying variables. All of this takes place within the context of a recognized and accepted body of knowledge and a set of theories that are consistent with an overall paradigm. Magic offers no such method, no such quantifiable or reproducible results, and in no way is part of any generally accepted and recognizable paradigm of accumulated knowledge.
IF THERE IS A HEAVEN, WHEN YOU DIE WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE GOD TO SAY TO YOU WHEN HE MEETS YOU AT THE PEARLY GATES?
Well done. Now for your next assignment on earth.
Well done. Now you do not need to ever again incarnate on earth.
You take yourself too seriously. Come on in. I have a couple of hookers and a high ball waiting for you. (Sean Penn)
Yes, Elvis, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, and Hemingway—they are all here but no, come to think of it, I haven’t seen any televangelists around.
I have been waiting for you. Could you watch the pearly gates for a while? I need to get a few things done.
Welcome. Here is the
short list of things you can do with yourself for the rest of eternity.
“Just to know that there is laughter. Like God saying, ‘There are these two Jews who walk into a bar ….’” (Robin Williams)
You practiced and mastered magic
in a previous life time. Consequently, before you are born you are given
the choice of a spiritual gift to insure that you fulfill a divine mission of
your own choosing on earth. Which one from the following “gifts” would
you choose?
Your concentration will develop to such an extent that you can command the attention of any spirit to answer your questions at least for a period of five minutes including any of the archangels.
Your magical equilibrium, that is, your emotional intelligence—the balance between the elements in your astral body—is so developed that you are able to avoid any emotional entanglements or confusion during the entirety of your life. This means you have the aura of a saint.
Choose one of the following three:
Your clairvoyance is such that you can easily read the future of any person you meet.
Your telepathy is such that you can understand the thoughts of any being, mortal or divine.
Your clairfeeling is such that you can feel what is in the heart of any being and also materialize any spirit at least to some degree on the physical plane.
Although possessing no magical abilities, your innate business skill will allow you by age thirty five to be worth fifteen billion dollars. Utilizing this wealth, you create endowments for five magical universities. This will guarantee that for the next five hundred years there will be an ample supply of highly trained magicians on earth who will serve the purposes of Divine Providence.
The difference between the
positive and the negative in magic, that is, between serving the light and
serving darkness, serving Divine Providence and working for demons is
….choose the best answer:
Is the difference between being constructive and being destructive.
There is no difference between the positive and negative in magic. They both serve the same purposes as in “the demons are but angels in disguise teaching us how to let go of all of our attachments.”
The difference between good magicians and the black path is that the black magicians have no sense of wonder, awe, or gratitude for being alive.
Good magicians should always fight black magicians and insure that their purposes fail.
Good magicians should not interfere with black magicians because everything serves a purpose.
An Angel appears to you at age five. I know, I know, age five is before the age of maturity and consent and responsibility. But guess what? Angels apparently are too stupid to know that because this happened the way I am telling it. And the angel tells you to make a wish (as a token of recognition for your spiritual accomplishments in past lives).
Do you ask for love since love is missing in one form or another from the lives of everyone around you?
Do you ask for wisdom so that you might understand how to help those around you?
Do you ask for power so that you might accomplish your work in life?
Do you ask for money since you notice that poverty prevents everyone you know from being loving, understanding, getting a good education, and being able to contribute to society?
Do you ask for real excitement since the church your parents are dragging you to three times a week is so incredibly, incomprehensibly boring?
Do you ask to be “big” so that you can beat up the bullies down the block?
A demon appears to you and says, If you hurt another person every so often in just the right way, then you will be free of pain, doubt, depression, and you will succeed. In fact, he argues, this is the only you will ever be able to live life to the fullest. And further, he insists, all men of power, leaders, and political, social, and religious reformers as well as women of beauty know and practice this method of human engagement. Choose the best response of the following:
Do you say to him, I live under the dictum, Do no harm. I would never think of hurting another person and so you turn him down.
Do you say to him, I live under the dictum, Do no harm, but then again, there is no gain without pain and, in fact, being able to share pain with others has always the test of friendship, genuine love, and a closely knit community and so you accept his offer.
Do you say, I live under the dictum, Do no harm, but a man has to take care of himself and his family otherwise you are not a man and so you accept his offer.
Do you say, I live under the dictum, Do no harm, but I also am an initiate and practitioner of the wrathful side of compassion—you can’t help other people without pushing them on occasion beyond their self-imposed limitations. And anyway, all demons as well as positive spirits are always willing to serve the purposes of a true magician. And so you say to the demon, you are not telling me anything I don’t already know.
Do you say to him, I understand your offer but what would be involved if my counterproposal consists of only practicing your method when I am in dire circumstances?
Do you say to the demon, Pain and limitation have always been my best teachers. I have no need of your offer and so you send him away.
Never respond to a demon. This is not about hurting other people. And it is not a discussion about morality, ethics, spirituality, cost-benefit analysis, right and wrong, or good and bad. The entire purpose of the demon is to get you to commit acts, whether small or great, that lead to the destruction of your conscience. Next to this loss, everything else is irrelevant.
THE ACTRESSES MICHELLE PFEIFFER AND MONICA BELLUCCI
Are proof of the existence of God.* (See also note at end)
Demonstrate that beauty contains a magical power to bring together all the diverse aspects of yourself (known and unknown) so that you experience wholeness.
Are further proof of the theory of intelligent design over evolution and natural selection.
Are waiting for a modern writer, who in one glance as with Dante at Beatrice, will bring forth a new vision of the union of heaven and earth proclaiming that God is still sovereign and in charge.
Their cinematic appeal and stardom arises from a subtle interweaving of pagan and Christian influences.
By concentrating on their
beauty, they can be used as a yidum or magical image that will take your
consciousness into akasha, a state of awareness penetrating space and time.
Create desires that are more suitable
for discussion in a bar than in an academic setting. (“What a wicked thing you do to make me dream
of you.”)
At least there are these two
women who do not hate men. Don’t give up
guys. There have got to be a few more
out there.
*(Note: Michael Douglas emailed me to say that for him Catherine Zeta-Jones offers proof each night as he holds her tight; Tom Hanks also insists that “the warm bed I share with his wife” is direct evidence; Roger Ebert, the well-known movie critic, wishes that we might see as he that Ashley Judd is love personified; Hugh Heffner called me to say that when Marilyn Monroe signed up to display in his first Playboy Magazine that it was no less than a sign from God anointing him to fulfill a divine mission; and who would deny that Meryl Streep is an angel in disguise or perhaps one of the seven sisters from the Pleiades who has come down from heaven?)
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING ARE TRUE:
Contentment is the greatest wealth on earth. (Swami Rama)
A woman who loves you with all of her heart is the greatest wealth on earth. (the lunar spirit Ebvap)
Happiness is inevitable. (King Uddeshtira, from Mahabarata)
Everything good in life will come to you in its own time and in its own way. (Susan Penfield)
We are adrift in a sea of
motionless time until we come to realize there are worlds enough for becoming
ourselves. (Frank Waters)
All the great battles of life
are first fought within your own heart. (
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING ARE ESSENTIAL FOR A MAGICIAN:
A judicial temperament: an impartial ability to withhold judgment, to consider case and precedent, and to make decisions after carefully weighing the evidence on both sides of an argument.
The ability to argue both sides of a question because you can understand equally well the feelings and thoughts of everyone involved.
A tolerance for ambiguity: you can look at situations from different perspectives without feeling compelled to adopt one view or another. It also does not bother you that sometimes you have to make decisions based on incomplete information.
Being practical and down to
earth, that is, having a fully operational bullshit detector.
A sense of
humor.
Just place your right hand on
the book, IIH, and repeat after me:
“I have superhuman patience; I am beyond all fear; my will is perfect,
complete, and absolute; my dedication is pure; my determination will persevere
until I attain perfection.” There, that should take care of any missing pieces
when you present your resume to akasha though technically speaking you may want
to throw in, “I embody personal, universal, and cosmic love, all-embracing,
omnipresent, everywhere and in everything.”
“I love touching dark
edges. I love going to dark places.”

POP QUIZ FOR MAGICIANS PART
II
IN THAT GREAT EARLY SCIENCE
FICTION MOVIE, FORBIDDEN PLANET,
EARTHMEN STUMBLE UPON AN ADVANCED CIVILIZATION THAT HAS UTTERLY DESTROYED
ITSELF. THIS WAS DUE TO “MONSTERS OF THE
ID.” WHAT ARE THESE MONSTERS?
Id as in
Freudian psychology—the chaotic, conflicting drives of the unconscious. I guess these
aliens didn’t know their Freudian psychology.
They had no Great White
Brotherhood to protect them. Isn’t that obvious?
Monsters of
the Id refers to primordial
instincts present during early phases of evolution. The race destroyed itself
because it had no Steven Spielberg to make movies like
Perhaps there is an
intelligent race in about every hundred cubic light years in our galaxy. Roughly five per cent of these races end up
destroying themselves. This might be due
to any one of the following running rampant: nanotechnology, an AI, a level
five air born virus, an asteroid, weapons of
mass destruction, or just an old fashioned nuclear experiment like the
one a few years back on the East Coast in which scientists speculated about a
“miniscule” chance of destroying the earth.
Kind of like what was rumored to have happened to the planet that used
to fly between Mars and Jupiter—now the asteroid belt.
No, one of their world
teachers declined to sacrifice himself for the greater good. As a result, the entire race had to be
destroyed to “restore the balance.”
They forgot that whenever you
move on to a new magical practice you have to restore the balance in your
astral equilibrium which is automatically thrown out of whack.
They relied on machines to
materialize and dematerialize. Never
rely on machines for your materializing and dematerializing needs.
Like the creatures in the
book/movie Space Vampires, they
forgot that “survival is always an issue” until a race attains final and
complete enlightenment.
They had no magician’s
guild. Approximately 80 per cent of all
races in our galaxy have no indigenous magician’s guild. The magicians
guild’s number one job is looking out for the future. (If you are an alien on earth and reading
this message you can apply for a guild on your home planet [for a small fee;
barter is ok] by hiring The Magician’s Guild’s We Are Here for You Out There Quick
Response Team.)
The did not know the saying, “The higher you go into the
light the deeper your roots sink down into the darkness.” The roots of their
unconscious sank down until it awoke the “Monsters of the Id” buried within
them. This contamination of their
conscious selves resulted in their transformation into blind fanatics who
immediately killed each other off fighting over whose beliefs were right.
IN ONE OF STEVEN SIEGAL’S
MOVIES, THE BAD GUY SAYS, “ASSUMPTIONS ARE THE MOTHER OF ALL FUCKUPS.” WHICH ASSUMPTIONS MIGHT MOIST LIKELY LEAD TO
PROBLEMS IN A STUDENT’S PRACTICE?
You assume if you follow the
exercises the way the master says then everything will work out ok.
You assume that if you do not
follow the exercises the way the master says then everything still will work
out ok.
When Bardon says you will
need “superhuman patience” you ask yourself, “Doesn’t everyone have superhuman
patience?”
You say to yourself,
“Somewhere between the first and second chapters I’ll just sneak in a little
astral travel, clairvoyance, and spirit evocation.”
You say the obvious, “I am already
a sixteenth level initiate in another magic system. In fact, I am an initiate of the sphere of
Chesed. Take that Bardon.”
You say to yourself, “I live
a simple, honest life free of distractions.
I am sincere and dedicated. What
more does a guy need?”
THE
Hang out with Gnomes. Gnomes can take you to a place within silence
where depression is afraid to go.
Male magicians tend to become
overly mental, abstract, detached, and obsessed with will. This can be corrected if they spend time with
the opposite of themselves—young women whose emotions are bubbly like
champagne, blindly accepting, and naturally affectionate due to the high levels
of estrogen in their bloodstreams.
Depression is a refusal to
acknowledge the greatest secret of life: “You are on the highest path when you
are attracted to the thing that is most unlike yourself and which you consider
to be inferior.” (the Supreme Spirit of the Solar
System). Take a moment and consider
exactly what that is in case you ever want to add a little spice to your life.
The most basic principle in
psychology is “if what you are doing is not working try doing something
different.” Try doing something
different.
Depression is anger turned
within. Anger arises from failing to
exercise your will. If you want to get
over your depression, decide on a decisive course of action guided by all the
feelings in your heart and all the wisdom your mind can provide. In other words, always have a backup plan of
action in case your current course of action leaves you high and dry.
No to all
of the above. Depression is the result of sensory
deprivation. Go on a shopping spree, eat
some chocolate, get a lap dance, a good football game, a party, a good movie,
express yourself in art or through intimacy—you got the idea?
IN THE BOOK, THE LAST UNICORN BY PETER BEAGLE, THE
MASTER IS UNABLE TO TEACH MAGIC TO ONE OF HIS STUDENTS. SO THE MASTER GRANTS THE STUDENT IMMORALITY
SO THAT THE STUDENT CAN LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO DISCOVER MAGIC ON HIS OWN. WHAT IS THE MOST LIKELY REASON THE STUDENT
COULD NOT LEARN MAGIC?
No, the reason he granted him
immortality was that the student’s dumb questions were driving the master
crazy. By granting him immortality the
master could finally get some peace and quiet.
The master rightly understood
the saying, “The wise do not know all ends.” (Gandolf) Therefore the master granted immortality to
his student because he recognized that life is a greater teacher of magic than
any magician or wisdom tradition.
It is a system of
self-initiation. The only way anyone
ever learns anything is by discovering it for themselves.
No, the student knew the
master would lose face if he failed in trying to teach someone magic. So the student played dumb in order to force
the master to grant him immortality.
The problem with immorality
is that you permanently impregnate your body and soul with youthful
energy. Even if you possess wisdom your
youthful energy denies you the ability to apply that wisdom. All students of magic are eventually given
the choice between being wise or acquiring immortality. If the student had chosen wisdom he knew he
would have started growing old. (Thus
the saying, “A wise man does not wish to be young again” is actually a
statement of fact: you can’t have both wisdom and youth in the same soul. This is a joke, right?)
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING MIGHT
BE SPOKEN BY A SPIRIT OF THE SPHERE OF VENUS?
“Love is the only experience
in which you can let go of yourself without knowing anymore who you are or what
you are becoming.”
“Each moment contains an
abyss. Only the heart can chart a path
across.”
“Love gratifies your deepest
cravings and reveals your highest path to perfection.”
“Love is bliss unafraid of
emptiness. It is desire unafraid of
loss. It is a yearning burning so hot it
annihilates the shadows within the lover’s heart.”
“If you could take all of
nature and extract from it its beauty and then drink this elixir and attain
immortality you would still not taste the bliss I taste when I hold my Beloved
in my arms.”
“Who is like my Beloved? At
her touch, the sun and moon dissolve into a brighter light. Day and night join as one. The life animating plant, animal, and tree,
human and Divine being return to their source at the
center of my heart.”
“When I meditate I am
embraced by countless beings of love and might who guide and guard all paths of
wisdom and all evolutions: with both mortal and divine I join my heart and mind
to celebrate the Light embracing all of creation.”
WHICH IS TRUE ABOUT THE
UNIVERSE? IT WAS CREATED
Though an
act of love. (Franz Bardon)
The universe is a mistake.
(Steven Hawkin)
“The universe will not end
until every heart is found and every soul becomes pure light.” (paraphrase of the Dalai Lama’s vow)
“God’s will
will not be fulfilled until there are hearts big enough to contain the
entire universe within themselves.” (Seventh of the Seven
Lords of Creation).
God got it wrong the first
time. We are now living in a universe
that is His second try. (Jewish legend)
The universe arose from the
dream of the gods who then became entangled in the web of their own creation.
(Hindu Vedas)
The universe demonstrates an intelligence behind its design. Now was that intelligence “an unmoved mover”
(Aristotle), perhaps a large cabbage plant (Hume), a turtle (I-Ching), an
impersonal God (Benjamin Franklin), a bunch of mean old Titans (Greek
mythology), etc.? Where do you weigh in
on this?
IN THE BOOK, WIZARD OF EARTHSEA BY URSULA LEQUIN, THE
YOUNG WIZARD GED EVOKES A SPIRIT THAT HAS NO NAME. WHY IS A SPIRIT THAT HAS NO NAME A PROBLEM?
“Where word breaks off no
thing may be.” (Trakl) See Martin Heidegger’s essay On Poetry. There is no
problem because something can not exist within our world if you fail to record
it in your magical journal. If you don’t
write about your mystical or magical experiences they lost forever.
Nothing can exist unless it
has a name. (Franz Bardon)
It has no name because its
nature is shaped by colors of light vibrating in spectrums that do not exist in
our solar system and so it is not subject to the Kabbalah or cosmic language as
we know it.
If you do not have the
magical name for any being (which is what was meant in “having no name”) then
you can not control that being. No name
means out of control.
The Old Testament and the
Kabbalah were written by Jewish mystics who were very good at scrabble and cross
word puzzles. They hid a lot of
prophecies about the future in religious texts by hiding words within
words. If something is not in the Official Jewish Mystic Scrabble and
Crossword Players Dictionary then it can not exist and can safely be
ignored because it is just fiction.
THE REASON MAGICIANS DO NOT
MAKE GOOD FRIENDS IS
Friendship is not one of the
things they need for attaining magical equilibrium.
Their divine missions make
them too busy for friends.
Instead of taking calls on
their cell phones at a restaurant, they take “calls” from spirits.
If they ever should think bad
thoughts about you, you end up with a headache or else the bad thoughts
rattling around inside your head.
If an evocation goes bad for
them, they may suddenly look ten years older, check into a mental hospital, or
convert to fundamentalist Christianity or the Hari Krishnas.
They may think it is funny to
slip a tiny firedrake inside your aura when you aren’t looking.
If you speak the name of the
devil in their presence, the devil appears.
When you ask them for some
magic that gets you money, love, or a job they fail to warn you in advance
about the disastrous side effects that come with fulfilling your wish.
No, the reason male magicians
do not bond well with other men is that, like most men, they are still working
on the problem of how to please women.
Without even thinking or
giving it a second thought (because it only takes a few seconds), they may try
to hypnotize you or use your aura as a medium for evoking a spirit.
The simple fact is that a
genuine and mature magician operates from a place beyond the knowledge of our
world. Whether he knows it or not, his
own mind and heart are illuminated with a light reason can not conceive and
intuition can not perceive. And though
he may try to be consistent and friendly, his essence is formless beyond word,
image, thought, or feeling.
THE BEST FORM OF PSYCHIC
DEFENSE IS
When attacked, try drawing
pentagrams in the air pronouncing the sacred and holy names of God, the
guardians, and the archangels of the four quarters. This will cause any evil spirit to
immediately collapse from laughter or else think it has wandered into the
Comedy Store in
Stop it! You are confusing the innocent. The
Official Guide to Franz Bardon’s Practices clearly states and I quote, page
45, “In order to draw pentagrams successfully in the air you must 1. Imagine
that the hand that is drawing them is actually the hand of some divine being
such as God; 2. You must draw the pentagram
on all three planes simultaneously—the mental, astral, and physical; and
3. The pentagram must act as a summary
of all of your experiences with the four elements and their integration in the
akasha. The pentagram in itself has no
magical power just as a cross has no magical power unless a Christian is
holding it and understands its symbolism.
In other words, you only get out of magic what you put into it.” (Then again, what about in the movie The Mummy in which the thief holds up a
Star of David and speaks in Hebrew and the Mummy says, “The language of the
slaves.” You never know. Maybe a pentagram will make the spirit stop
and think of some other reason for not bothering you.)
Try running a copper wire
around your bed and, when your wife is not around,
attach it to a dagger you stab into the beautiful varnished wooden floor
beneath your bed.
Put your hand into a bucket
of water to drain away any negativity.
Place little mirrors surrounded
by the eight trigrams of the I-Ching above some of the windows in your house.
Magically charge each day a
psychic “Do Not Disturb” sign you hang in the air outside your house. That is, visualize a sphere of white light on
the ground around your house and with a commanding voice full of absolute
conviction say or project into the circle, “The circle represents the harmony
and law of the universe. Nothing may
cross that is not in accord with that harmony.”
Like Crowley, project your
mind inside the negative spirit or entity until that being falls over dead from
the vibration of cocaine you have flowing through your blood stream.
Repeat the Buddhist mantra,
“There is no attacker, attack, or anyone being attacked.” (Or, alternately,
read aloud the Heart Sutra or, if you
are Jewish or Christian, Psalm 90) That is, make your mind empty, nothing, and
joined to the Great Void (akasha, the unmanifest, sunyata, whatever) until the
attacking energy or entity can do nothing else than turn around and attack
whoever sent it in the first place.
Stand in the center of your
magic circle joining yourself to God.
Any being, positive or negative, will then be force to serve your will.
Better yet, simply threaten
to stab any negative being or energy with your magic dagger or trident.
And even better yet, hire
whoever is attacking you to defend you against some other real or imagined
enemy. The bad guys will be so honored
to be recognized in this way they will now consider you a friend.
With a loud, authoritative,
and persuasive voice, explain to the negative entity that it is just so unfair
the way its master has enslaved and abused it in the past. Then with a commanding voice send it back to
attack whoever sent it. (Max Freedom
Long)
Practice entering a timeless
and spaceless state of awareness by imagining a dark, ultraviolet light
emanating from every pour of your body and going throughout the universe. Then identity with every particle of light
you have emitted (that is, make yourself in a vast empty void). Then when you need to, simply “zap” any
negative being when it comes around with this dark, ultraviolet light and
akasha which you send from your hands into this being destroying any attachment
to form it may possess.
THE REASON MAGICAINS ARE
Magicians are only superior
because they train more than others and work through their karma fairly
quickly.
There are no real masters and
no one is superior to anyone else.
Masters are just specialists who know a lot about a few things and are
just as stupid as anyone else in other areas.
Magicians are superior to
other people because they have a full catalogue of talismans, sigils, and
charms that they receive when they join the Magician’s Guild.
Magicians are not only superior. As they develop they bring their microcosm
into harmony with the greater macrocosm until they have mastered the elemental
realms, the earthzone, and magic of the spheres as well as the cosmic language
of the Kabbalah. They then become a
virtual god incarnate free of any karma and now acting as direct
representatives of Divine Providence.
(Did I miss anything? Oh yah, at this point they are finally able to
wrap up any exercises they failed to master in Initiation into Hermetics)
No real magician would ever
say he is superior (even if he was).
This is because the more mature a magician is the greater his humility
and desire to serve.
Most people operate in the
three dimensions of the physical, astral, and mental planes. A magician adds a fourth
dimension—akasha--that penetrates through space and time. Whereas most people are struggling to master
physical necessities, emotional needs, and mental clarity, a magician is
struggling to master omnipotence, omniscience, and cosmic wisdom. Though this does not make the magician a better person, it does give him
or her a fantastic flexibility. (See the book, Troubleshooting, Safety Tips, and Repair Manuel for 4th
Dimensional Travelers. Also see the
New Age book, Your OK, He’s OK, but I am
Let’s be practical. The magician opens the gates to the inner planes by casting his magic circle consecrating it with water. He draws pentagrams and sigils on the circumference like an artist whose paintbrush leaves a trail of fire. His eyes sparkle with divine authority. His voice resonates with a sacred ferocity as he chants great and mighty words of power. Standing at the center of the circle, he joins himself with God so that what he wills might be fulfilled, that no obstacle can long resist what he commands to manifest.
Now if that is not superior I don’t know what is.
No. Magicians are not superior. They just have big egos—it a professional hazard. When they work with the elemental beings, these beings are profoundly grateful to serve the will of a magician who is joined to akasha. And so naturally when a magician is so respected and honored and treated as a master on the inner planes, he expects other people to treat him the same way. And this is why magicians are not very social. No one can stand being around them.
MARILYN MONROE DIED BECAUSE
SHE DID NOT KNOW THE ANSWER TO THE RIDDLE—WHAT DO MEN WANT FROM WOMEN? WHICH ANSWER SHOULD SHE HAVE KNOWN IN ORDER
TO HAVE AVOIDED BEING MURDERED?
Men want women to accept the
man’s sovereignty over them.
Men love war more than women,
food, or sleep. (an
ancient Greek proverb)
The only reason a man is
interested in a woman is to have sex or children.
Men want the beauty of
women in their lives. They want the
oneness sex implies. They want the
tender love they see in children’s eyes.
Men (whether they know it or
not) want a world in which women are fully aroused. This is the only way they can see the inner
light shining in all things. Without
this, they fail to attain their destiny.
“To understand a woman in
love you first imagine a man and then you take away his reason.” (As Good as It Gets) It is not that men want women to be more
rational; they just want them to be more agreeable.
Men all want the same thing
from women. Some are just more patient
than others. (Jennifer)
No, no, no. This is not a gender issue. Marilyn fell victim to the Kennedy Curse that killed John and
Bobby. Actually the death of one woman
was not enough save Ted Kennedy. It also
required the selfless sacrifice of Marilyn to break the curse and of course
Teddy has to settle for being a
Yes it is a gender issue. Whether you are a president, an attorney
general, or a kid named Elton John or Howard Stern finding a magazine under a
bed, it makes no difference. You want
“desire and need joined to intimacy so that loneliness and separation are
shattered and broken asunder and replaced with kindness, friendship, and love.”
(from Istiphul)
Don’t you think we should consider God’s
point of view on this topic? “Do you know what the human body goes through when
you have sex? Pupils dilate, arteries
constrict, core temperature rises, heart races, blood pressure skyrockets,
respiration becomes rapid and shallow, the brain fires bursts of electrical
impulses from nowhere to nowhere, accretions spit out of every gland, and the
muscles tense and spasm like you are lifting three times your body weight. Its violent. Its
ugly and its messy. And if God had not made
it unbelievably fun the human race would have died out eons ago. ….Men are lucky they can only have one orgasm. Do you know that women can have an hour long
orgasm?” (From the TV series, House.)
Let’s keep it simple. Women need to feel they are pleasing to
someone and they need to be told they are loved (like maybe once a day). A man needs to receive respect from a woman
(like once a day) and to exercise some control over some aspect of the woman’s
life so he gets that inflation that comes from control.
Don’t ask me why, though Peking Man and
Neanderthal are now extinct because their brains had no neurological
programming regarding gender differences.
AFTER DISCOVERING FRANZ
BARDON’S BOOKS, YOU QUICKLY DEDICATE YOUR LIFE TO THE STUDY OF MAGIC THROUGH
MASTERING BARDON’S SYSTEM. WHICH OF THE
FOLLOWING IS MOST LIKELY TO HAPPEN NEXT?
You become too upset to study
because of conflicts involving 1. a girlfriend, 2,
your wife, or 3. both your wife and your girlfriend.
You begin to question if you
are on the right path because you can neither astral travel, levitate, or evoke
spirits after three weeks of practice.
The roof of your house caves
in on top of the desk where you left your Initiation
into Hermetics book the first night you bring it home from the store.
Someone invites you to a
conference on Franz Bardon and you reply, “I could never feel safe around
people like that.”
A demon appears to you within
two years to see if he can make you an offer you can’t refuse.
No demon appears. Instead you discover a darkness growing
inside yourself. This darkness demands
that you surrender your will and allow yourself to transmute into something
horrible. You try to resist with all
your might but it appears that this darkness arises from the core of your
being.
No, no. All you need to do is balance the four
elements in your soul producing a magical equilibrium. Keep it simple and straightforward describing
your strengths and weaknesses and working on the weaknesses one by one. In no time the darkness is gone and you now
feel at ease, full of peace, and vibrant with energy as never before.
The dark side is no match for the simple,
straightforward and positive thinking of a young magician. (Or am I confusing this with Star Wars when the Sith Lord says to his
disciple with rancor and hatred dripping from his breath, “The Jeddi are no match for you.” Or some other movie
where the character says “Look within and you may discover that Darth Vader is
your father.” Or, “Trust the
force, Luke” says Obiwan. “Yah, but
which force to trust, light or dark?”
“Search your heart” but there is still a choice. Gee, George Lucas made billions from this
light/darkness mythological motif. I
wonder why that is?)
Well, it turned out you had
nothing to fear after all. You simply
follow the directions as written and after five years of diligent practice you
master IIH. You then proceed to the
second book on evocation. Within a year
you are communicating successfully with not only elementals but spirits of the
earthzone. After two more years you
begin working with spirits of the planetary spheres. At year twelve of your practice you move on
to practicing the cosmic language. This
takes another ten years to master.
Finally after twenty-two years of practice you accept and fulfill a
divine mission over the course of another ten years. You then retire to live out the rest of your
life sitting on the board and/or being a professor at an important magical
university. (But wait! Are some of the other professors secretly
working for the Dark Side? Stay tuned
for the exciting sequel to Magicians Gone
Wild, winner of two Academy Awards.)
No, statistics show that 90%
of those who have practiced the Bardon system for more ten years have started the
system over from the beginning at least five times.
SOLOMON, ACCORDING TO THE
BIBLE, WAS THE WISEST MAN WHO EVER WAS OR EVER WILL BE. THIS IS FITTING BECAUSE SOLOMON’S TEMPLE IS
PART OF THE GREAT LEGACY OF WESTERN
HEMETICISM ALONG WITH BOOKS ATTRIBUTED TO HIM SUCH AS THE LESSER AND GREATER KEYS OF SOLOMON.
BUT WHAT LESSONS FROM HIS LIFE MIGHT WE LEARN REGARDING THE LIMITATIONS
OF WISDOM?
The first thing Solomon did
when he woke up the next morning after gaining wisdom was to celebrate by getting
drunk out of his mind. He records this
in his book, Ecclesiastes, in which
he says, “I gave myself to drink.” But
because of the resulting hangover, he concludes, “Vanity of vanity. All is
vanity.”
Solomon never got over the
fact that his mother seduced his father into murdering his mother’s first
husband and that this resulted in the death of Solomon’s older brother. And so Solomon concludes in his Book of Proverbs, “Among a thousand
women, there is not one you can trust.” (You might get away saying that on Bill
O’Reilly but not on Oprah.)
Solomon never found true
love. This is indicated by the fact that
he married seven hundred wives and had three hundred concubines and still had
time to have affairs with
Solomon was also a rotten
father. This is seen in that he did not leave any words of instruction to his
son who ruled after him (unlike Solomon’s own father David whose last words to
Solomon were specific and extensive.) As
a result
Solomon committed high
treason against
God refused King David’s
request to build the
J.R.TOLKEIN, WHO BELONGED TO
It is very easy to lose your
way--of the five wizards sent into Middle Earth by Vahalla (read Divine
Providence) only Gandolf remained true to his mission. The others either got
distracted or, like Sarumen, were turned to the dark side.
When pressed as to what
Gandolf was doing sneaking around in the Dark Lord’s dungeon, he replied,
“Finding things out.” As a matter of fact, a magician is able to violate the
taboos of his society and seek forbidden knowledge because he too is “finding
things out” to fulfill a sacred mission.
Gandolf, when pressed, was
able to make his wand glow in the dark.
This is actually one of the basic exercises in Bardon’s training system.
Evil can cloak itself in the
form of great beauty and charm. It then proceeds to bestow upon the world great
and wondrous gifts. These gifts appear to enrich the spirituality of all people
but are actually part of a sinister plot to take over the world. (Sauron when he forged and gave the original rings of power to the
elves, the dwarves, and the human kings).
Only the individual who is
free of all desire for power can safely be granted absolute power over the
world. (And it helps if you live under a
hill, like to smoke pipes, and have hobbits as relatives.)
Whether you agree with his
cause or not, like the evil emperor in Stars
Wars known as Senator Palpatine, Sauron was doing something right (which
the good guys never ever seem to get around to doing)—he was taking
responsibility for the entire world (or galaxy).
WHICH KINDS OF MAGIC IN J.K.
ROWLING’S BOOKS ABOUT HARRY POTTER ACTUALLY HAVE A REAL COUNTERPART IN OUR
WORLD?
A magic
cloak that enables you to be invisible. (Isn’t the Beta form of this currently being developed and sold by a
Japanese firm?)
A magic map
that tells you where everyone else is and in what direction they are moving. (Aren’t several versions of this currently available
in Beta form for
A jar that
if you fall into it takes you back in time so you can experience first hand past
events? (isn’t this called
psychometry or, if you want to get
fancy, psychic archeology?)
The ability to fly on
broomsticks without the aid of aerodynamic wing design or gas propelled
engines. (didn’t
I already mention that Boeing Aircraft is researching antigravity engines?)
Book and newspaper covers
with animated three D images. (Don’t
most second graders have at least two palm held devices that can do better than
this?)
MAGICANS SHOULD NOT MARRY
OTHER MAGICANS BECAUSE?
You don’t want to hold your
breath for this—your chance of meeting an available and acceptable magical
partner of the opposite gender in any given year is about one in five hundred.
(Of course, if you have attained immortality ….?)
It is ok if one partner
embodies Receptive Intelligence and the other partner embodies Active
Intelligence.
No, no, no. It is only ok if the woman who is a magician
is also a true submissive (Definition: a submissive woman is one who finds
pleasure in pleasing a man--about 3% of the female population). This is not a contradiction. After all, it is the submissive who is always
in charge because she gets to choose who will be her dom. (A tip for you prospective
doms—though you are in charge never ask a true submissive to do anything
she does not already want to do.) (Note: A male who finds pleasure in pleasing
a woman is not called a submissive. He
is called a gentleman.)
Since sex magic is the
highest magic on earth you should be looking for a suitable partner who
practices magic like yourself. Check the on-line Dating Service for Magicians Seeking Magic Sex Partners.
No, teach seminars on magic
that demonstrate your knowledge. Nubile women are always attracted to men who
are able to hold the attention of large groups of people. One of the women attending will inevitably
come on to you in a way that you can’t resist and at the same time she will
respect you as an authority figure.
Actually it is a requirement
if you wish to attain enlightenment in this incarnation to practice sex with a trained
spiritual partner. (See the Introduction to The
Wheel of Time by the Dalai Lama and then consult the on-line Yabums for Attaining Enlightenment or Your
Money Back)
Magicians should not marry
other magicians because--can you imagine having to use a sign up sheet and a
calendar for whose turn it is to use the magic temple next?
Actually your best chance of
meeting a suitable sex partner for Tantra or Taoist Sex Yoga is at a Tantric or
Taoist Sex Yoga seminar.
A woman who really loves you
will do for you whatever you want her to do.
Simply initiate her yourself.
This is possible only if her mind has not been contaminated by
ideologies, intellectualism, metaphysical theories, etc.—that is, her
flexibility diminishes to the extent she feels attached to or has a vested
interest in fixed ideas. (Especially avoid women with strong superegos like
those from
This discussion is nonsense
because love is the greater magic--you just have to meet the right person as in
“seek and you shall find.” (If you can use that to find God then you have at
least a chance of getting it to work to find a woman).
Sure, of course you want a
woman to share your spiritual life and walk beside you on your spiritual
journey. But guess what? The first three things a spiritual woman is going to require of you is 1. that you pay her
back for all the suffering men have caused women for the last eight thousand
years by allowing her to dump all her anger and rage on you; 2. that you now manage her career so she can
become assertive, successful, dynamic, and outgoing while you also meet the
usual expectation for males that you “bring home the bread.” And
3. that you explain to her the female’s path of spiritual growth that
involves developing the magnetic fluid by role modeling this feminine mode of
feeling and action; (Have you considered the other option of doing seminars
with this spiritual woman while marrying someone else like that attractive and
loving but not so spiritual woman who has been after you for years? Of course if you are a saint and/or masochist
by all means ….)
On the other hand, if you are
a female magician you probably already have the will side of your personality
developed as well as the intuitive capacity to join with any aspect of the
feminine mysteries. And you are able to
reproduce within yourself at will the magnetic fluid. Pick a man therefore who can bring home the
bread enabling you to be free to practice your magic undisturbed by worldly
distractions.

IN COMMUNICATING WITH NATURE
SPIRITS, WHAT ARE THE RULES?
Never make the first
move—always let them speak first to you.
Otherwise, according to the rules of astral plane covered in Who Gets to Possess Who? section 14b, they can declare you a “lost soul”
thereby gaining salvage rights to your soul.
No matter how loving or
friendly, all nature spirits and elemental beings are programmed to follow the
rule that governs all magical realms--the strong rule over the weak. That is, while you are seeking to master them
they are seeking to master you.
If they give you a gift, such
a gnome offering the Red Lion or Philosopher’s stone, it is only because they
wish to possess your soul.
No, if a high ranking
elemental being offers you a gift the gift acts as an entrance pass that
enhances your ability to enter their elemental realm. Just make sure you bring your own exit pass
or else have a quick escape route in view.
The undines/mermaids are not
trying to seduce you and then take possession of your soul. It is just the nature of the magnetic fluid
they embody—it automatically acts to magnetize your aura so you come to feel
the way they do. (Although there may be
a few bets on the side over who can seduce you the quickest).
You do not need magic to
commune with nature spirits. You only
need to do one of the following:
1. Really love nature and
then nature spirits will really love you.
2. Keep a diary in which you imagine you understand
their dreams and schemes. Make an entry
each day in which you imagine yourself doing whatever it is nature spirits
do. Magic can not compete with empathy
like that.
3. Feel the blood flowing
through your veins and imagine you are rivers and the sea. Feel the air in your breath and chest and
imagine you are the winds, the biosphere, and the dream of being free. Feel the weight of your body, the bones, and
especially the legs and feet and imagine you are solid and enduring like the
mountains, the earth, and the trees.
Feel the heat of your body, your desire and need and imagine you are the
fire that consumes and also the fire that needs no fuel to create light to
see. I think that should do it: nature
spirits will then welcome you as an honored guest among them.
Even if you follow the
correct rules, what might happen with nature spirits?
They show up unexpectedly,
obtrusively, and without being called.
Maybe they like hanging out with you.
You notice they do not speak
in any human language. Their
communication is directly body to body, feelings to feelings, and mental
imagery to mental imagery. Kind of intimate and at times absolutely overpowering.
When something interesting
happens, it occurs to you that what you just experienced is not described
anywhere in human literature by any human mystic, poet, or philosopher.
You find yourself dealing
with forms of psychology that the human race will not discover for hundreds of
years.
You notice that as you begin to
see as they see, feel as they feel, and interact with the elements as they
interact that your psychic powers are vastly enhanced. But what you are perceiving
is no longer the perceptions of a human beings.
Duh.
That unless you write down
what you were doing for the last three hours you spent hanging out in the ocean
with an undine, drifting though the sky with a sylph, walking beneath a
mountain with a gnome, or discussing questions about the nature of fire with a
salamander, everything that happened vanishes from your mind within five
minutes of time. (Why? You have two hundred thousand years of
neurological programming that makes you a human being. They have millions of years of uniting with
nature while remaining unseen. Putting
the two together in one state of consciousness is not as easy as it may seem.)
A STRONG CASE CAN BE MADE
THAT THE SPIRITS OF THE EARTHZONE LISTED IN BARDON’S BOOK, THE PRACTICE OF MAGICAL EVOCATION, ARE ACTUALLY THE NAMES FOR
DEMONS. YOUR BEST RESPONSE:
What? That’s it for me. I am done with Bardon.
I do not have a clue as to
why people go to baseball games. I mean
I could project my mind inside of a few fans and give you lots of details about
what that experience is like for them.
But I am not going to do that. I
am not even curious.
Similarly, I do not have a clue as to why
people sit in front of and play slot machines.
I am sure with a little telepathic probing, I could tell you in detail
about the chemical and neurological changes in their brain chemistry that
somehow can be construed as pleasure or if nothing else as addiction. But I am not going to do it. I see these people sitting there and I just
can’t bring myself to get the least bit interested.
OK.
You know what am going to say next, don’t
you? I do not have a clue as to why
anyone is concerned about the names of the spirits Bardon appears to have
misrepresented in his books. I mean, I
hear the arguments and the criticism, I read the discussions and
conclusions. But I am not even curious
as to why this is a problem for them.
If someone, such as Bardon, gave me a
description of a spirit, I could contact that spirit. And you know, if they gave me a description
of a spirit which either was completely wrong or which they thought did not
even exist, I could still find and contact the spirit. It is a very big universe. There is every conceivable kind of spirit out
there waiting to be contacted. So I just
don’t get what the fuss is about. You
think of a spirit and you connect to it. It is that easy if you have trained your mind
and psychic faculties. Get a life.
As point of fact, if you
attempt to contact a positive spirit but your purpose or intention is negative,
you will automatically be directed to the negative spirit that is the
counterpart of the positive one (this is due to the akashic switchboard which
automatically sorts and transfers communications).
There is some controversy, however, as to
whether a positive goal can be assigned to a demon since the demon would by its
nature object to being ordered to pursue a positive end. Kind of like walking up to a loan shark and
saying, “Listen. I am too busy to give
this money to charity. Here is ten
thousand dollars. Would you see that it gets to whoever needs it the most?” Yah, right. The loan shark might either
fall over laughing or else think it was an IRS sting operation and
refuse to deal with you. I mean, even
demons have a code of ethics.
The explanation is quite
simple—Bardon did not want the wrong people to abuse this sacred science for
selfish purposes and so he hid the true names.
Any experienced magician can quickly discover for himself the true names
of these spirits.
What is all the fuss? You stand in front of the
In telepathy, any time you
think about someone or a spirit there is instantly a connection between the two
of you. You don’t need a name. The spirit appears or you sense its aura or
you contact its mind. As the girl said
in the movie, “The little things don’t bother me.”
It will take one of Bardon’s
original students to explain this or else you can wait for the forthcoming
publication of The Magical Journals of
Franz Bardon in five volumes for the answer. (by
Merkur Press or was that Murmer Press or Mummy Press—I forget which.)
So what if I decided to call
Emrudue in the sphere of the Moon say a name like Jimmy. Then whenever I called Emrudue I formed a
magical intent to contact him but aloud or silently spoke the word Jimmy
instead. I think Emrudue would know I
was talking to him and respond. I mean,
someone can contact you on the internet referring to you using the wrong
name. You can look at the communication
on its own terms and respond without getting upset, can’t you? Don’t you think spirits are sufficiently
intelligent to not be offended by mispronunciations and clerical errors?
You are missing the
point. How could a world class grand master
like Bardon allow mistakes to be published in his books? Why, it is absolutely outrageous. It is insulting and disrespectful to me as a
student of magic. I am totally
offended.
The product delivered is not the same as
what was being advertised. Its fraud, I
tell you. It is unfair and I suspect a
deliberate conspiracy is going on behind the scenes. Yes, that is it. Someone is messing with my magical career and
trying to sabotage my spiritual motivation.
It might be the Masons. Maybe the
Knights Templar, maybe ….
Well I tell you it is not going to
work. I am not going to put up with
it. White is white and black is black. And if it is not all 100% white then it is
obviously black. Because I am just here
to say I don’t do grey. Reputation is
everything in life. And unless what you
are offering is full of light (with no frayed edges, no little specks of dirt
on the cuffs, and no loose threads) you are worthless in my sight.
FRANZ BARDON’S THIRD BOOK, THE KEY TO THE TRUE QUABBALAH, HAS BEEN
LARGELY IGNORED BY THE PUBILC AS
The Quabbbalah, Kabbalah,
etc. is the highest magic on earth. It
represents the Spoken Word by which God created the universe. The vowels and consonants in this cosmic
language were used to give birth to the sky, the oceans, the mountains, the
stars, earth, fire, air, water, and the spirit that endows all living beings
with consciousness. Bardon’s descriptions
do not clearly connect each divine letter to the aspect of nature it
represents. Pictures or illustrations
for each letter should also have been included to better stimulate the
imagination.
No. Bardon should have used
the actual Hebrew letters instead of Latin script. People love mystical shit. And the ancients all believed that their
original languages were intrinsically magical and arose from divine origins. I tell you people are going to believe a lot
sooner if you tell them that Hebrew is a sacred language spoken by the angels
and it is only to the Jews that God revealed this wisdom. If you want a monopoly you got to make a
lineage.
(See the book, How to Invent A New Religion by Ron
Hubbard, the founder of Scientology; if you don’t want to go to the trouble of
practicing mysticism or inventing a new religion, see the book published by the
Evangelical Self-Righteousness Press: How
to Become a Televangelist for Money and Profit).
No, it is not really about
book sales. Like Orthodox Jewish Rabbis
(wasn’t that word orthodox invented
by the Christians in the first century? How come Jews get to use it?), you
should insist that an individual be forty years of age and then teach only
males this sacred practice. However,
exceptions are permitted if a female celebrity like Madonna takes an
interest. Initiate her because its good for publicity.
The problem is with the
Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant Christians.
They have created a religious environment hostile to spirituality. Ask a Conservative Jewish Rabbi. If he walks into a Christian bookstore and
sees crosses with or without corpses on them he will say to himself, “I am the
only one in this store not practicing idolatry.”
God is formless. No prophet of the Old Testament did, could,
or would have prophesized that the Messiah would be divine—an absolute
impossibility in Judaism. (Opps, there
is that reference “mighty God,” every lasting father, etc. in Isaiah. I will have to consult the Hebrew and the
Jewish Mishna on this one.)
By making Christ a member of a trinity
the Christians put an end to the search for God by substituting a written creed, catechism, and set of
doctrines. The Word is Spoken and takes
on flesh not through belief but through faith, conviction, and action. This is significant because each cosmic
letter has an akashic or formless state of awareness attached—and this is
something Western civilization has long repressed. You want Quabbalah, study it and then speak it in specific applications.
No. no, no. Bardon’s
Kabbalah is for gentiles, not Jews. Different rules apply. All that is needed is a few good men (or
women). Take a little of that old Jewish
mysticism—“They shall not learn war anymore”—and add to it a dose of the new
“Blessed are the peacemakers” and you get a small but dedicated group. These
students of Bardon shall fulfill the old and new prophecies by making peace
among the nations. Not only that. They shall also make peace with whatever
civilizations the human race shall meet as it travels between the stars.
Young magicians are not
permitted to buy and read The Key to the
True Quabbalah unless they are current in their dues to the Magician’s
Guild.
Whose eyes do not see the
Mystery? Whose tongue does not taste the
bliss? Whose ears have not heard the
Wonder? Whose thoughts do not bear
witness to the truth?
It is everywhere and all around us. It is in every breath. The sky is part of the Voice of God that
embodies the wisdom of the universe—creating, ordering, unfolding, setting
forth seasons, the illumination of lights, the cycles
of time. And at the center of this Great
Mystery is the human mind.
It is in the oceans, the water, the rivers
and streams, the rain, the icy cold poles, the lakes, the well—it is in our
dreams: to be embraced and to embrace, to give birth to and through each other,
to love, to flow, to receive and to give, to be within and part of every
heart—who can fail to feel and to notice?
The electricity in the heart beat, that
sails down the nerves, that explodes and implodes within the synapse, the ions
exchanging places at the wall of every body cell; and the galaxies whirling in
space, the stars exploding, the light proclaiming, exclaiming, bearing witness
to the Glory of Creation that echoes through the universe and speaks plainly
even in the darkest place.
The language of God, His voice, the sounds
and consonants need no human mystic or lineage, no orthodox or unorthodox
doctrine, no human teacher at all is required to learn to speak as the
Creator. His Creative Art is all around
us. One only need to open his heart and
become one with this wonder, the bliss, the powers, the separation and union of
opposites.
Mastering the Quabballah is as simple as
that. The Magi I tell you were initiates
of this. (For further references, see
the gentile prophet Balaam’s classic unpublished work, Creating as God Creates, Or, Avoid Screwing Yourself with Belief,
Faith, or Devotion—Go Directly to God; see also the book by the Magi--We Kings, We Follow Star, We Give Gifts, We
Vanish in the Night).
POP QUIZ, PART III
THE WAY A MAGICAN JOINS
HIMSELF TO GOD IS:
He stands in the center of
his magic circle and thinks to himself, “I am joined to God.”
He picks one of the names of God
from the Old Testament such as Elohim, Adonai, JHWH, Eheiah, etc. and then
clearing his mind of all thought allows this name to sound in his mind. He then follows that vibration until he
enters the Presence of God. (Note: one
kind of evidence for your progress is the presence of St. Elmo’s fire—the hairs
on your skin become electrified, begin to hum, and to
glow.)
That is absolutely
ridiculous. Those names have no magical
or spiritual energy attached to them unless you pronounce them simultaneously in
three planes—the mental, astral, and physical—and understand something of how
to “pronounce” the Quabbalistic or cosmic letters from which they are composed.
No, a magician joins himself
to God by spending six hours each week contemplating the Tree of Life on four
planes for each sephiroth. After thirty
years, God drops by out of curiosity to ask the magician why he is wasting so
much time on something so ridiculous.
You join yourself to God
first and foremost by thinking God’s thoughts, feeling the feelings within
God’s heart, and envisioning as God envisioned the purposes for which He has
created the universe.
You join yourself to God by
practicing the akashic level of each of the cosmic letters in the Quabbalah.
No dummy. Practicing the akashic levels of the cosmic
letters joins you to the impersonal
aspect of God, that is, to Divine Providence.
Joining yourself to a personal
God requires a different procedure.
You join yourself to God by imagining
the four elements, earth, air, fire, and water in their divine aspects which
are immorality/divine work, cosmic wisdom or omniscience, absolute or
omnipotent will, and all-embracing love or omnipresence. Practice, practice,
practice. There comes a point
when you find God sitting nearby doing whatever it is that God does with all
those qualities of His.
A magician joins himself to
God by using both invocation and evocation.
In invocation, he rises up half way to meet God. (“stirring
himself up” through inspiration, perhaps a state of ecstasy, etc.) In evocation, like the gentile prophet
Balaam, or the angel Gabriel, or the two witnesses, or in countless other ways
(for ultimately we each have our own way), he directly enters the presence of
God. Invocation is more drawing God near
through the love and inspiration in your heart; evocation is rising up to meet
God through an absolute power of will.
The magician uses both methods.
DIVINE
It’s a “divine” province
often mistaken for Shambala which is actually located three hundred miles to
the northwest and not due to materialize on earth for another 270 years. (Shambala is not to be confused with
Shangrila—an outpost of Shambala that materializes for a day or so every
hundred years.)
Divine
This reference by the Apostle Paul serves
as the basis for the founding of numerous schools for prophets both Christian
and pagan which down though the ages have nurtured and supported the Christian
church and in fact all genuine spiritual traditions. (What schools for prophets? Opps, this must have been in an alternative
universe.)

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING ARE POSSIBLE
SIDE EFFECTS FROM PRACTICING MAGIC? Part
I.
You feel your consciousness
has been invaded by an alien presence that you are unable to define or remove.
You feel suddenly violent
when things don’t go your way. After
all, don’t you possess a magical will?
You feel like magic has
become a mistress that has taken possession of your life. (So naturally your
wife complains that you are married to magic so that now she feels that you are
treating her like a mistress).
You feel profoundly important
part of the time and completely worthless at other times. (this is the
standard inflation and deflation of ego).
You feel that magic will
finally allow you to gain the acceptance and recognition you desire from others
and the world or maybe even a few friends.
You feel superior to other
people.
Like just about everyone who
is in jail feels—“The world owes me” and (since I am superior to other people)
“I can take what I want.”
You feel somewhat like a not
so mature Aquarian might feel—not really part of this world. That is, part of your consciousness is stuck
someplace else such as on the astral plane.
So you can’t be fully present in the here and now because an actual
percentage of your physical brain, like ten or twenty per cent, is on the
astral plane. The neurons are firing;
they are just not referencing reality.
IN THE PHRASE--TO WILL, TO
KNOW, TO DARE, AND TO KEEP SILENCE--“TO KEEP SILENCE” MEANS
You do not cast your pearls
before swine by giving to others what they may mock or scorn.
You stay in the moment
interacting with others in a way that remains within the boundaries of what
they are able to understand and within the range of feelings they can handle.
To keep silence means you do
not share magic with the uninitiated.
To keep silence refers to
protecting and nurturing a spiritual vision in your heart the way a fetus is
nurtured in the dark, protective womb of a woman.
To keep silence means that
you have an internal stillness that is continuously connected to and in harmony
with your core values and your deepest dreams and visions.
Silence embodies a magical
power—it is the power of detachment and negation in which you distance yourself
from any and all distractions that interfere with doing what you feel is
important.
No, no, no. You have to look to Solomon for the answer to
what “keeping silence” means. See The Book of Proverbs: “Even a fool who
keeps silence is considered wise.”
The
wisdom, power, and love shining within the heart which has mastered stillness is the beginning and the end of all the mysteries. (from the undine Isaphil) In this case, silence has been
upgraded to mean stillness. This
stillness is like a magic mirror—it reflects within itself the union of the
earth, the heavens, the divine, and mortals. (Martin Heidegger).
Within
the earth element is found the silence that nourishes a dream so it can
unfold. It is the stillness within our
hearts that measures our dreams, their beauty and their power, and then endures
in its work until they transform the world. (from the
undine Istiphul)
Silence
is primarily a survival technique. There
are those who are out in front of things conquering and succeeding by being
aggressive. There are those who are
assertive. They respect their own needs
and ideas and others’ as well. There are
those who are passive—they are too shy to fully participate in the game of
life.
And there are those who are passive
aggressive, that is, they know if they were to assert themselves they would get
stomped into the ground. So they find
ways of fighting back that both express their anger at being held down and
which protect themselves from being caught.
Silence in this sense can be a passive
aggressive technique—you strike when it is least expected as in utilizing the
element of war called surprise. Silence
can also be seen as belonging to those who are not only aggressive. It is the primary technique of those who end
dominating, controlling, or, if we are to cast this in more positive terms,
guiding the unfolding of the world.
This is because power, and especially
absolute power, requires that you keep a great many secrets. It requires that you master the virtue of
patience—you wait until precisely the right moment to act. It is required for spending years if not
decades in preparation that lays the foundations for fulfilling your
vision.
In a sense, then, silence is a divine
virtue—it extends right from the moment of conception of a vision through the
process of laying the foundation, preparing to act, acting, and then following
through until your vision is fully manifested in a stable and permanent
manner.
In a nutshell, it is silence that enables
you to stay on track and not waste energy on distractions, doubts,
self-validations, and a craving for praise and recognition. The virtue of silence separates the weak from
those who wish to operate at their peak.
And now for a word from one
of our associates, an honorary member of the board of the Magician’s Guild,
i.e., the gnome named Muscar.
Hello? Muscar? Could you make a brief statement regarding
your perspective on the mystery of silence? Thank you.
Muscar
I am a
listening silence!
I am
consciousness without form or thought
Moving underground.
I both
reveal the earth's secrets
And I
am where treasures are hidden so well
Only
the eyes of a seer
Can divine their location.
Time
and age do not burden me.
I am
constancy amid change.
I have
made sketches of mountains
As they
rose steep and new
But
which are long since gone
Now but dirt beneath your shoes.
In my
time frame
The
A great
warrior has pitched in the night
And
packs up again
When he breaks camp at dawn.
If you
want to attune to me,
To
match your moves to mine,
Whether
to party, chat,
Discuss,
linger, lurk, or socialize,
Then be
still and open
Such
that the stars are no longer distant and cold
But
young again--
Children
playing a game of ball,
Dancing,
singing, full of laughter and delight,
So
excited you notice them shifting
Their
constellations
As they
run through the night.
Then
you will hear me whisper in your ear--
Your
race has dreams
Like
the dreams of the earth Herself
Like
the songs that stream from the stars
Ah, but
so few of you listen
To your
dreams
Or
bother to enter
The gates that lead into the silences of the heart.
But I
feed on silence.
It is
who I am.
It is
my home and my dwelling.
And its
transformations are my wisdom.
So,
where to find me?
My
paths lead to the philosopher's stone
And of
nature's quintessence
I have
many trade secrets to share.
The
conversations I hold with your race
Have
been going on
Since
before you learned to build towns
You bet
I have a few stories I could tell!
So when
you are weary or in despair
Feeling
lonely or discouraged,
A soul
in need of repair
Come
round and see me.
I can
be most entertaining.
I love
parties which celebrate the seasons!
I love
the songs of ancient bards
Who
train for seven years
In caves of dark isolation.
I love
alchemists who spend a lifetime of refining
To hold
in their hands the red lion!
Though
once we meet
I
probably won't miss seeing you
For a
century or two--
You
see,
My
first love shall always be
The earth beneath your feet.
Still reading about “keeping silence?” Gees, you must be hard core. Well, that was Muscar. And that stuff about the stars being young
again playing a game of ball? Well, how
about this:
Listen! Can you hear it?
The sound of galaxies whirling,
spinning, and colliding
Sailing on celestial winds?
In a dark place
Silence blossoms
Revealing the distances
separating and uniting all things—
I hear the Song of the Universe
Hmm. Perhaps silence is good
for listening as an artist might listen who wishes to hear the voice of the
Mystery speaking, singing, and expressing its Art.
What? You are going to dump on us more of your
poetry? Well, just get it over with.
From the Salamander Itumo—master of thunderstorms (who is
another visiting professor at the
Itumo, "There was a
time long ago when I was small and
insignificant. Causing lightning to strike was beyond my
ability. I was so
weak I could not cause a
spark to leap. Neither atoms nor
molecules would
listen when I spoke. The attraction they felt for each other was
beyond my
perception.
"Yet even then I was still what I am
now--an intelligence with the will to
master electricity. My commission was also the same as now: to
forge paths
where none exist between
mind, matter, and spirit.
I embody the mystery of
how
to gather strength in
silence until the power that is unleashed is great enough
to cross every gulf so the
desires of the heart can be fulfilled.
The silence
that cloaks my will is the
same silence woven into the sky that holds the stars
within a vast embrace of
stillness."
"Then did you develop your power on
your own?" I ask.
Itumo replies simply and to the
point, "There are times when you must act
alone for there are no guides
provided."
Itumo and I just stare into each other's eyes
measuring the depths and how
we have explored silence
in our separate ways. Itumo says,
"Because something
is simple it does not mean
it is easy. I am saying you already know
how to
enter a place of silence
where the only thing that exists is your vision and the
power of your own
imagination."

A LOST SOUL IS
A lost soul is a soul that is
lost. This occurs when the silver cord
joining the astral body to the physical body is somehow severed or severely
damaged as when inexperienced individuals attempt astral travel. (See the companion guide to Quick and Easy Astral Travel known as Twenty Ways to Loose Your Soul While Astral
Traveling—written in commemoration of the twenty who
never came back).
A lost soul is a soul in need
of soul retrieval. Soul retrieval is
possible when only part of the astral body is damaged. Very intense emotions, loss, grief, or tragic
love affairs can result in part of one’s astral body being captured or
“borrowed” by another person. Special
astral collection agencies are available (for a small fee) to reacquire stolen
astral life (deep emotions of well-being, happiness, satisfaction, contentment)
and return it to the original owner.
Lost souls are souls that
have died and left unfinished business on earth. They can’t move on and they can’t go back.
Lost souls, (as compared to
hungry ghosts), are souls that basically “float” about in a light green colored
abyss. For some this is a real astral
terrain and for others it is merely a kind of astral haze that overshadows and
surrounds their auras while still alive.
Lost souls are souls that
haven’t found their niche, they don’t know where they belong, they have lost
their way home, or their social and emotional distance from other people
results in a slow deterioration of the vibrancy and animation of their astral
body or ability to feel.
A lost soul is simply a soul
that has lost its ability to hope, dream, or search for a better life.
A lost soul is a “master” who
has died without having passed down his teachings to at least one student.
Technically speaking, there
is a difference between a lost soul and an individual who is suffering from
being under the influence of a possessing entity. A ghost or thought form or negative being can
attach itself in a minor way to an individual’s chakas—usually the crown
chakra. This external influence severely
hinders the performance of an individual’s conscience such that in effect the
individual loses the ability to learn anything new from experience. A lost soul often is in the exact same
predicament.
In neurological terms, the part of the
brain that engages in self-reflection and seeks harmonious results is shorted
out. We see this in everyday life when
an abused person inadvertently identifies with his or her perpetrator in order
to survive or a hostage turns to supporting the kidnapper. The situation continues until there is a
sudden increase in brain energy usually through a shocking jolt to the nervous
system. This can be do
to an unpleasant encounter with reality or another person sending a burst of
pure vitality into the individual’s spine.
HOW IS A FEMALE MAGICAN
DIFFERENT FROM A MALE MAGICIAN?
A female magician does not
treat her magic wand or magic sword as if it is part of her own body. Then again, a crystal ball and a silver
chalice have meanings for her that a male will never comprehend.
When she uses the words
“feeling” or “feelings” she actually knows what the words means.
She is not obsessed with sex
or sex magic.
She actually cares about
other people and the world.
People who know nothing about
magic (that is, “ordinary people”) enjoy being around her.
When she posts a request on
internet for a partner she gets hundreds of replies. A male magician is lucky to get one or two.
A female magician’s robe has
better stitching and embroidery.
She knows that God is both
masculine and feminine—that you can not have a God without a Goddess.
To the extent she masters the
magnetic fluid, to that extent she is capable of
altering the fate of mankind.
SPIRITUAL ANTHROLOOGY (AS
COMPARED TO PHILOSPHICAL ANTHROPOLOGY OR ONTOLOGY) STUDIES RELIGIOUS, OCCULT,
AND SPIRITUAL TRAINING SYSTEMS. IT
CONSIDERS WHAT AND HOW MUCH TIME PRACTITIONERS ACTUALLY SPEND ON DIFFERENT
ACTIVITIES. IT ALSO COMPARES WHAT PEOPLE
SAY THEY ARE DOING TO WHAT THEY ACTUALLY DO.
FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF SPIRITUAL
ANTHROPOLOGY, A GENUINE SPIRITUAL PRACTICE REQUIRES MORE THAN A HALF HOUR OF
TIME. BY THIS DEFINITION PROTESTANT
CHRISTIANITY IS THE ONLY RELIGION IN THE HISTORY OF THE PLANET THAT HAS NO
GENUINE SPIRITUAL TRADITION. THE REASON
FOR THIS IS:
The Protestant Ethic has kept
Protestants so busy working hard, being productive, and living a moral but
repressed emotional and sexual life that there can be no time for any spiritual
activity.
For a Protestant, reading the
Bible is a spiritual activity. Therefore
Protestant do in fact qualify as having a genuine
spiritual practice. (Even if they
substitute the idolatry of worshiping the written word—see their avid tradition
of memorizing verse and chapter—for worshiping the Living God who Speaks equally in every moment and to every age of the
world.
Protestants are cheerleaders
for capitalism. It took thousands of
years to set in place the requisites for developing the capitalistic economic
system. No system on earth could
possibly be more in compliance with the Jewish commandment: “Be fruitful,
multiply, and have dominion over the earth.”
And if Protestants are anything it is that they are imitators of Judaism
(the Apostle Paul did not think he was inventing a new religion, just upgrading
Judaism, and adding a few gentiles, with a one time, once and for all sacrifice
and a few new rituals and holidays added later on.)
Protestants, like the first
century Christian bishops, demanded that their followers be orthodox as in “Do
not go out and seek God on your own.
Just believe what I tell you to believe.” And so, as one Christian writer puts it,
“Seeking God was an Old Testament thing.
We now have Christ and so do not need to seek.” (Disregard that question, Should a people not seek their God?”
uttered by God through the voice of a prophet.)
The Book of Common Prayer authorized by Queen Elizabeth of
Actually Martin Luther wrote
about meditation in his writings. But
since that time meditation has declined until it finally reached the absolute
minimum—see Billy Graham’s statement, “Prayer should
be no longer than a minute.”
No, it is all about money,
taxation, and who gets to control your tithing. Martin Luther was pissed at the
transferring of German wealth to
When the Pharaoh of Egypt demanded a better
taxation system, his ministers invented the first language in order to keep
track of who had paid and who had not.
And so Martin Luther’s first act was to translate the Bible into
German. No need for Latin, no need for
transference of wealth outside, and no need for those Catholic monasteries or
contemplations--you should go to church to hear a sermon. You should not be trying to make up a sermon
on your own and, above all else, give your money to us and we professors of
theology will do the rest.
And the bottom line? When the Apostle Paul (the idol of all
evangelists) decided to make a deal with the Christian Jews in
Nonsense. Protestant
Christianity produces individuals who are pure, very enthusiastic, and who
trust in the Lord. How can you knock
that?
No, Protestant Christianity
may not satisfy the needs of hard core introverts but it is the only religion
on earth in which an individual can feel that his faith gives him a direct
connection to God who will bless him in all that he undertakes. How can you beat that?
ACCORDING TO THE SORCEROR DON
JUAN IN THE WRITINGS OF CARLOS CASTANEDA, ANYONE SEEKING TO UNDERSTAND THE
TRUTH MUST HAVE SPENT TIME WORKING WITH A PETITE DICTATOR.—THAT IS, AN
INDIVIDUAL WHO SEEKS TOTAL DOMINATION OVER ANYONE AROUND HIM. THE REASON FOR THIS IS
According to Don Juan, you
can only enter the Nagual, that is, the formless state of awareness, after you
have lived under and survived the petite dictator. This is because it takes absolute courage to
face the unknown of the Nagual. Such courage is only mastered by those who have
extricated themselves from slavery and domination through their own initiative.
To master the unknown you
must be free of all fear. Such freedom
is only possible if you have looked in the face (for example a father, mother,
boss, mafia don, chief of police, national dictator, etc.) that creates the
worst fear.
No, the Heart Sutra clearly states that to free yourself of all fear you
have to have to perceive how form and formlessness interpenetrate each
other. The problem is not an individual
who enslaves others to a false will that is based on illusion. It is reality itself (samsara) that is the
dictator that enslaves those who consider its illusions to be real.
The human being who acts as a
petite dictator is nothing else than an embodiment of the Guardian of the
Threshold. This Guardian’s power is
derived from guaranteeing the reality of the social order and the agreed upon
consensus about what the world is and what it means. To enter the unknown, you must pass beyond
this Guardian who says to each of us—“Turn back. What lies beyond will destroy you.” In other words, the only way to attain to any
degree of happiness is by acting in compliance with and validating a social
world through which we acknowledge and validate each other.
Actually the Guardian is
telling it the way it is. To see the
truth in its full power means the annihilation of your personal identity. To survive this experience you have to be
aware without using thoughts or images to define yourself. And you can not use any conventional reality
or consensual truth as a reference point to understand your experience.
No, its
an ego thing. The petite dictator is
your typical Alpha male who wants control over everything and is pretty good at
getting it. To enter the unknown you
will need a much bigger ego, a much greater will—a will with the power that can
take hold of the unknown and transform it into something understandable. Therefore, you do not escape from the petite
dictator. You absorb and transform him
into yourself. (But try not to kill your
father or employer—Oedipus).
“Fear is the mindslayer.” (see the movie/book Dune). You have to go beyond fear for the mind to
become clear. And our enemies are our
best teachers. So you have to have a
really great enemy in order to attain a really clear mind. Otherwise you will never be motivated to seek
and then to find. (See the good cop/bad
cop approach to interrogation or the Tibetan practice of giving a disciple two
gurus—one who is very sweet and kind and another who is very hostile and
bitter. Also the Tibetans are fond of identifying with wrathful deities
designed to scare the shit out of your own fear.)
JUDIASM IS CONSIDERED TO BE A
PROPHETIC RELIGION BECAUSE THE NATION OF
THE HOPI INDIANS CONSIDER THAT THEY TOO
WERE CREATED TO FULFILL A DIVINE PURPOSE. THE HOPi HAVE HAD PROPHETS AMONG THEM
(THE TWO HORN SOCIETY) FOR WELL OVER A THOUSAND YEARS. (MORE
LIKE 1500 YEARS).
WHICH ONE
OF THE FOLLOWING METHODS
(EMPLOYED BY THE DIVINE OR THROUGH THE PROPHETS) WAS NOT
SHARED IN COMMON BY BOTH OF THESE PROPHETIC RELIGIONS?
They both have used fire to
destroy the unbelievers. (note the charred artifacts
found in the archeological ruins of
They both used earthquakes to
destroy the unbelievers or slackers. (for example,
after Moses came down from Sinai)
They both used floods to
destroy the unbelievers. (too obvious to mention)
They both use famine to
destroy the unbelievers, the lazy, and those who strayed from the way.
They both used foreign armies
to attack their own cities or nation.
(The Jewish captivity in
They both used their own army
to slay their own citizens. (Consider the sad story of Awatovi)
They both indirectly used
their armies to allow another army to attack their cities. (E.g., the Hopi Sun clan [the tribal armed
forces] telling the Navaho that they would “be out of town next Tuesday so
there will be no one on duty for defense.”])
They both used disease,
whether by angel or, e.g., by distributing small pox contaminated clothing, to
cause the death of their own people. (See Hopi oral tradition).
COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING: IF
YOU ARE DEAD AFTER YOU DIE WHAT ARE YOU BEFORE YOU ARE BORN? (asked by Jimmy, the
son of a former Miss
Obviously, you are a
disincarnate entity.
You are a soul waiting to be
born.
Having incarnated before in
other lives, you are between incarnations. (say in the
Bardo)
No, before you are born you
inhabit a different astral body. This
astral body “dies” before you are born because you are about to assume a new
astral body.
Wrong again. Your former astral body that you abandon when
you are born is quite capable of surviving for centuries though it is no longer
inhabited by your soul.
No, before being born you are
floating around blissed out of your mind in this warm, sheltered, nurturing
space. Everything is so easy and free
that you think if the rest of life is like this then let’s
get it on.
How far “before you are
born?” You are a fetus in the womb or an
impregnated egg or then again if there are two identical eggs that have divided
and so are perfect clones you get to flip a coin to determine which one to
enter.
No, according to the Koran, a
soul does not enter the fetus until the fourth month. Therefore, since it the soul that makes for a
living being there can be no legal rights—it is the soul that gives life.
Before you are born, you are
a “divine spark” waiting to ignite within a life.
WHICH ARE THE BEST
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PRACTICING BARDON?
I can’t think of any.
The system is actually
straightforward and step by step. Follow the steps as Bardon recommends and you
will do fine though it may take slightly longer than you first thought.
Absolutely everything in
Bardon is in the first three chapters of IIH.
Master these and you have in effect mastered the entire system.
It helps if you have already
been practicing meditation for ten years before picking up a Bardon book.
Ok. Let’s go over this once more. A spirit’s name or sigil is like an internet
address or URL. Your psychic senses are
like your modem connection. Your ability
to interpret your psychic perceptions and impressions is your service
provider. No modem or service provider,
no email. Got it?
The purpose for working with
the Bardon system must come from you.
Make no assumptions. Remember
always the saying, “The wise men of old were alert like men walking on thin ice
….” Don’t ever forget that.
A MAGICIAN IS MOST LIKE WHICH
OF THE FOLLOWING?
A magician is like a Navy
Seal: he is a highly trained and an intelligent member of the special forces with his own direct uplink to command
central. (“There are no dumb Navy Seals.
If you are dumb, you drown.” Also, there
was a Navy Seal who was trained to disarm any American or Russian nuclear
weapon—thus a Navy Seal is the kind of guy you want on your team.)
An
unrostered agent (that is, no paper trail as in very secret and leaves no
traces) for the CIA in which the CIA is Divine Providence. By the way,
unrostered agents are very good at “keeping silence.”
A Swami
with an ashram, disciples, and a small slush fund on the side.
Like Balaam, a gentile or
“heathen” prophet who could speak directly with God and who could usually
obtain God’s blessings at will. (though it helps to
have a donkey who speaks and can warn you about avenging angels. By the way, the talking donkey and the snake
in the garden, according to Hebrew legend, were two animals left over from the
first creation which was later abandoned).
Like Gandolf, a higher being
sent into the world disguised in human form to accomplish a mission.
Like a viceroy from England
or an imperial censor from the Emperor of China who has complete independence
and power to render judgments and finalize agreements on behalf of the
crown/Emperor. (read Divine Providence).
Like a new student at a huge
university where all the other students and most of the professors are
invisible and beyond sensory detection.
As the sun slowly rises, however, the light begins to shine illuminating
from within this student’s vision. And
now behold he sees that many other sojourners like himself
are collectively entering the Halls of Wisdom (for initiation is collective)
and collectively sharing in a great wonder that can only serve to enrich
mankind. (Note: the editor was not completely certain if the above paragraph
falls under this topic describing magicians or the earlier topic describing
lost souls.)
A magician is like a knight
of old during an age of chivalry. He
protects women, children, and the vulnerable.
He trains to be strong. He fights
against wrong. He strives to be noble,
courteous, and honorable.
If given a quest, he is relentless to
pursue it and you can bet he will do it.
His heart is like a lion. His
thoughts like an eagle and his body like a boar about to charge. His eyes have seen wonder. His voice can speak with thunder. And his hands will establish his work upon
the earth.
Saints
and sages can afford to feel content because of the bliss they radiate and the
wisdom they contain. But the role of a
magician is more. He is in a position to
assume a degree of responsibility for the world. He exercises oversight, guides and inspires,
and also helps mankind get through its bottlenecks.
WHO MOSTLY LIEKLY SAID, “WEEP
NOT WHEN DEATH AND FATE TAKE AWAY--EVERY ENDING, SEPARATION, FARELWELL, AND
GOODBYE IS A SACRED RITE IN MY EYES.”
The Oracle of Delphi to which
Socrates appealed his death sentence.
Buddha while sipping tea with
Kama, the Lord of Demons.
Shiva
responding to Arjuna’s request for an absolute weapon.
The chief
Judge of the Sphere of Saturn.
Queen Elizabeth when she sent
Sir Francis Drake on a secret mission around the world.
Albert
Einstein responding to his first wife when she mentioned his promise to her
that both their careers would be of equal importance.
THE REASON A MAGICIAN AND A
PROFESSIONAL ACTOR HAVE A LOT IN COMMON IS
The both practice the
“internal method” of acting. They both
concentrate on assuming another identity and really getting into the part.
They both know that the role
they are assuming is not who they really are.
It is a fiction, something made up, and imaginary part that serves a
temporary purpose and that is all.
They both explore their major
life experiences and feelings in order to develop their professional skills.
The magician may often hide
his true identity as a magician the way an actor hides his own personality in
playing a part.
They both play many roles on
the stage of life.
They both spend a lot of time
off stage behind the curtains waiting for their entrance.
No, they both know that life
is art—its about creating and expressing yourself.

Pop Quiz
Part IV
Like some housewives,
monastic priests, seekers after truth, a few gurus, magicians, and mystics, you
seek to “join yourself to God.” What is most likely to occur in the near
future?
Nothing, absolutely nothing. When I said “I
wish to be one with God” what I meant was that saying those words gives me a
nice warm feeling in my heart. I have
absolutely no intention of backing up my words with actions. That is, I have no plan of action.” (“But maybe God will guide my life now that I
said something nice to flatter Him.”)
Some
demon shows up who monitors vows that are spoken aloud concerning uniting with
God. This devil is like a troll under a
bridge—he wants to know if you are ready to pay your dues for crossing over. “What dues?” you ask. He replies, “Well,” he says, “There is a little
infinite abyss that separates the material universe from the Presence of God.
(After all, God the Creator stands slightly outside
of the created universe). And since many sojourners get lost when they journey
out into the abyss seeking God, its my job to mount a
search and rescue operation. So you can
pay now or later when I rescue your sorry ass.”
“What do you charge?” you ask.
The devil replies, “To bring you back to the material worlds, I inject
you with an antidote which I have found quickly cures those who are spiritually
off course--a little Conquistador greed, some of the hatred and arrogance the
narrow-minded heed, a taste of lust upon which we demons feed, and the ‘right
beliefs” of the self-righteous whose doctrines are the product of our seed.”
You
decide the best way to unite with God is to honor the Sabbath to keep it
holy. You may or may not do any work on
the Sabbath. But you understand that the
principle is quite simple—to set aside a time each week in which God is the
primary focus. But since you are not a
complete idiot, fool, or given over to absolute stupidity, you understand that
the basic principle means that during this time set aside each week you are to
love God “with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.” Consequently as any lover who seeks to love
his Beloved, you experiment in a passive devotional invocation approach (that
is, you work with your feelings) and you experiment with an active intense
focus of your trained mind and will approach (that is, you work with the full
power of your mind and the divine will that is within you) to unite with the
other’s body, mind, and heart. (In other words, you spare nothing and hold
nothing back). After thirty years of this setting time aside, you discover God
is quite willing to talk to you with no less intimacy and no less power than
what he shared with any of His prophets such as Isaiah, Ezekiel, Elijah, and
Daniel (and just so you understand what I am saying, add Moses to this list,
for God seeks many men like Moses to appear in every century to serve His
purposes.)
[He
just doesn’t use the standard burning bush to make His pitch. These days He expects a little more
self-initiative.]
This
is nonsense. There is no need for
magical training, prophetic depth, or mystical bullshit. You accept Christ into your heart and you are
now united with God. Got it! It is that simple.
Now then, let me be the first to
congratulate you on joining the Republican Party and escaping from the clutches
of those godless, heathen Democrats. I mean if you have accepted Christ into
your heart it should be perfectly clear to you that you are now in favor of the
death penalty, against gun control, against abortion and sex education, for
reducing taxes, for intelligent design, for the displays of Christmas and the
ten commandments on public property, and any other aspects of the Republican
party platform—I mean, this nation was founded on Evangelical Christianity and
what can be more obvious than that God stands squarely behind us?
Stop being so cynical. Any person of
any faith or persuasion even a non believer who prays to God with sincerity and
even faith as small as a grain of seed is in fact united with God in that
moment of prayer. God is everywhere and
He is surely within the heart of those who open to Him in need, in trust, in
love, or even in making a simple request for His blessing or guidance. This is not a mystical thing. We are all God’s children and He is within us
whether we know it or not in every moment, every breath, every tear, and every
heartbeat.
Be
one with God? Let me think about that.
Oh, the only obvious thing here is that you have to first learn to be
completely and totally one with another human being before you will ever
comprehend in the smallest degree the challenge and commitment and patience and
love necessary to unite with God. But
you know, my girlfriend is absolutely impossible. The emotional pain of intimacy with her, even
trying to deal with her, is unbearable.
She is constantly disrespectful and attempting to destroy who I am. Opps, isn’t akasha even worse, more than any lover, it seeks to obliterate any
identification with form, self-image, or personal needs and history. I guess God will just have to wait on this
one until that place in space and time when I attain to true love. Maybe God made women so difficult that in
learning to love them I would be better prepared to endure the beauty of His
face, well, of His/Her face. Maybe the
woman is a small taste of oneness with God and God in return encourages us to
attain a greater will and a greater love.
Or, as the saying goes, maybe “God is love, lover, and beloved.” The task in seeing the world through God’s
eyes is equally and in the same moment to see it through the eyes of our lover.
And
now for a completely different perspective, i.e., from the undine Istiphul:
The magician opens the gates to the inner planes in another
way. He casts his magic circle
consecrating it with water. He draws
pentagrams and sigils on the circumference like an artist whose paintbrush
leaves a trail of fire. His eyes sparkle
with divine authority. His voice
resonates with a sacred ferocity as he chants great and mighty words of power. Standing at the center of the circle, he
joins himself with God so that what he wills might be fulfilled, that no
obstacle can long resist what he commands to manifest.
But at Istiphul’s
touch, with her clairvoyance
awakening within my eyes, I sense it is
lovers who have the greater power and an authority that has no limit. To be in Istiphul’s presence is to be
anointed with the beauty of the world.
And the love she celebrates evokes a greater mystery than that of a mage
joined with God.
At the touch of her hand on
mine, skin against skin, our different evolutions, our separate destinies, the
barriers human and divine are set aside so two hearts can find each other,
blend, merge, and unite. In this circle,
only love exists and all power and will bow down before its bliss--such is the
vision hidden within women and within the soul of the sea.
Some magical groups talk
about a Gevurah or sphere of Mars initiation.
One of the best descriptions of a spiritual warrior is given not by
Chogyum Trumpa who drank himself to death but by Don Juan in the writings of Carlos
Castaneda. Which one of the following was not described in Castaneda’s
writings?
A
warrior is impeccable, that is, he exerts control over himself and seeks to
fulfill a specific purpose in every situation he enters and at all times.
A
warrior knows how to “stop the world.”
He is capable at any time of turning off his ordinary mind and the
activities of his normal consciousness and enter a
state of pure perception that is beyond all presumptions, assumptions, and
conceptions.
A
warrior is always vigilant, on guard, assumes nothing, and takes nothing for
granted.
A
warrior’s supreme attainment is viewing other human beings with detachment—he
can see beyond his need, desire, or vulnerability and look at others as if they
were a Gila Monster crossing a road or an eagle
landing on a branch.
A
warrior uses his own death as an advisor.
A
warrior masters his daily routines and habits treating them as critical areas
of his study like a hunter studies the habits and routines of his prey in order
to perform a successful hunt.
A
warrior can change his personality at will going for example from quiet
introvert to radiant, outgoing extrovert, from intelligent, detached, and
curious to forceful, leading, and commanding, from fun, playful, intimate,
sensual, and sweet to single minded warrior focused totally on accomplishing
his mission.
A
warrior is constantly and forever exploring paths of beauty that honor the
unfathomable wonder and awesome mystery of the universe that surrounds us.
A
warrior is ever vigilant to see and then seize that rare moment or window of
opportunity in which power or the unknown appears to him.
A
warrior will set aside six months or even years to disguise himself, playing a
role, or changing jobs to discover if he can share his innermost inspiration
and power with another human being who shows unusual potential.
A
warrior never whines, complains, or blames others for anything, that is, you
are not a warrior and not of the Gevurah Initiation if from out of your mouth proceeds an emotional utterance that is whining,
complaining, or blaming. A warrior is in
fact never helpless or vulnerable—every moment is an opportunity to move to
your own place of power.
A
warrior can be impeccable, in control, and in his place of power except when it
comes to woman—for the love of a beautiful woman in fact contains the power to
annihilate everything that is masculine by taking it to a place of greater love
and union.
Women
in fact have a greater natural potential for entering the spiritual world than
do men.
Which are stories a magician
might tell to impress his friends?
Well,
there was this hurricane coming my way and though I don’t ever do weather
control, for some reason I sat down and meditated on this hurricane for twenty
minutes. The next news report indicated
that the hurricane had stopped dead in the water for an hour and then made a
ninety degree turn veering off course and heading due north away from us.
So I
am out there in the forest chanting some old dumb Buddhist chant and these two
young deer come and sit down next to me.
I pet them and after a while I start jogging through the forest and they
run along beside me. Except
when I go back to my car. They turn
around and walk off when I opened the car door.
I guess they figured at that point I had been fooling them and wasn’t
really a deer after all.
So I
was meditating with this women, I mean, in a very pure
way with honest spiritual intentions. We
did this once a week together. But I
could feel her having an orgasm as we meditated even though she was thousands
of miles away. She later on confirmed
this and implied she liked the turn the meditation was taking. What can I
say? Meditations sometimes go astray and
in this case she was the one who took it in the wrong way.
So
this spirit gives me this Muse who flies between the stars and I ended up
writing poetry every day. It was
actually exhausting until I sent the Muse away to return when I was stronger
and had more leisure.
Yah,
whenever I go sit in a church pew, there is this angel who haunts my family
ancestors who shows up and sits in the pew behind me. Like one of the angels who assisted Moses, it
whispers in my ear, “Of all those who dwell on earth only a very few of you
have ears that are open and can hear my voice speak. And so perhaps there is some miracle you
would like accomplished? A
Oh
about every year or so I have a dream in which I wake up and I am in the
future. Last time I was in a car in the
dream and the whole car flew through the air into the future. I always try to remember everything I see
going on in these dreams because later on when I older what I saw is what comes
to be.
No,
I only did a brief meditation on the Chinese premier I saw on TV, you know, maybe get him to work a little more on democracy. And the very next day on the news the Chinese
premier said, “We in
My favorite undine? Istiphul—she
is the most beautiful creature on earth.
She is very magical and erotic and I said to myself when I first met her
that “I will never meet a human woman this beautiful.” But you know, life
is full of surprises.
What? Magicians don’t tell stories to impress their
friends. Magicians are beyond vanity and
have no need to open up and share spontaneously stories about their lives with
anyone.
What? What?
Don’t you know that biography is fiction and autobiography is pure fantasy. Now how many
times do I have to say that.
Sometimes magicians have very
brief telepathic contact with spirits.
Even so, a single telepathic impression can contain volumes of
information, new skills, abilities, powers, inspiration, etc. And it sometimes takes years to read through
these volumes or find a practical application.
Which of the following may occur after such a brief contact with an
earthzone spirit?
After
thinking about an earthzone spirit (in Libra I think) who might help you
develop healing remedies and herbal elixirs and while lying down getting acupuncture
you “download” a plan of action for developing micro brewing and after
succeeding at this you end up with enough cash to finance your spiritual
journeys during the rest of your life.
After
consulting with a spirit in Libra of the Earthzone who specializes in laughter
and humor, you become a stand up comedian—that is, you now have a funny and
engaging way of reframing all that hatred and rage you have inside and making
others laugh as you share.
After
briefly meditating on a spirit of the earthzone who is a master of fire, you
walk around your neighborhood melting the snow on others’ roof just for fun.
After
consulting with a spirit of the earthzone who specializes in divination, you
end up with an annual income of $75,000 from doing Tarot readings.
You
consult with Ubarim in Taurus in the earthzone who inspires you to write an
entire mythology about a kingdom named after him. In the process, three women you never met
email you and tell you they “would die for you” because of your writing and a
few other women actually think about killing you in order to “purge themselves”
of their obsession with you. (All of this in spite of being one of the most
unlucky people when it comes to love.)
After
using a little horse shoe magnet electro magnetic volt placed in the akasha to
discover a suitable divine mission, you receive a vision regarding a future
problem facing mankind. But you also
discover others who have had this same specific vision. One of these people is in an insane asylum
and another is a drug addict. But this
does not stop you. For you, the lights
are all green and say “Go for it.”
After
consulting with a spirit of Cancer in the earthzone who specializes in the
magic taught in ancient and forgotten civilizations, you find yourself in the
presence of individuals who have found extremely powerful magical relics from
ancient and forgotten civilizations. So naturally you decide to activate one or more of them.
After
a brief contact with Istiphul you notice that you can read the charkas and
karma of whoever sat in chair before you when you sit down.
After you explain about how
some people like General Patton, Franz Bardon, Einstein, Bill Gates, etc. enter
life to fulfill one specific mission, she asks you if everyone has a specific
purpose to fulfill in life. Your best
response:
I
think in the movie La Strada a man picks up a pebble on a beach and says, “If
this one pebble has no meaning then the entire universe has no meaning. If this pebble does have meaning, then
everything in the universe has meaning.”
Well, if you are going to put it that way sure everyone has a specific
purpose to fulfill otherwise the contrary is too horrible to consider. Now, you have heard about the butterfly
effect, have you heard about the pebble effect?
Someone
once said to the universe, “I have meaning.” And the universe replied, “Though
that may be the case it does not obligate me to reveal what that meaning is to
you or to assist you in pursuing it.”
Look,
keep it simple: if you are born an Aries then you obviously are here to learn
to assert yourself and to solve problems, accept personal challenges and
overcome obstacles in your own way. When
you become mature, you do this for other people. Same with all the signs, for example, a Leo
is here to learn to develop a personal sense of honor and dignity, to reinforce
morality, to lead and inspire, and be the center of a community. And when a Leo becomes mature he or she
empowers others to shine and does this without having to be paid with loyalty,
affection, and attention as part of the transaction.
We
are all here to learn to master the three lower planes—the physical, astral,
and mental. We sometimes are placed
under great restrictions and limitations precisely so we can learn to take
charge of ourselves and our environment, change the world, and attain
freedom. For most people, dealing with
physical necessities, emotional satisfactions, and developing mental focus and
clarity are more than enough challenge.
In other words, your task is to find meaningful work, personal love, and
a niche or community where you can belong and feel and be of value to others.
“The
only reason for entering life is to be of service to others.” (He’ad’ra from the screenplay, Fall
of Atlantis). Some people
have hidden within them an abundance of capacity for dealing with necessities,
being satisfied, and focusing with clarity.
Their mission, should they accept it, is to deal with the physical
necessities, deepest satisfactions in life, and greatest wisdom and clarity not
only for themselves but for communities, nations, and even the entire
world. Of course, they can always screw
up and abuse their gifts or fail to activate them in a positive way or just get
distracted by a cute skirt or motorcycle boots that walk by.
Yes,
everyone has a specific purpose. Edgar
Cayce used to channel past lives so as to convince individuals of how
masterful and wondrous their activities
were in other lives so that now they can
move on and deal with the fact that their present purpose is just learning how
to pay their bills, do a little community service, and care for their friends
and family. I mean, come on, clean up the things you can now touch around yourself before
you go racing off into the mystical fairyland of imaginary illusions which some
call metaphysics and magical practice.
Yes,
everyone has a purpose. Just keep
bugging your Holy Guardian Angel through prayer or meditation or magical ritual
until you obtain a vision of what specifically you are meant to accomplish. And then be advised that having a vision in
no way grants you knowledge of the means for manifesting that vision. And receiving a vision in the first place is
often like a newspaper reporter writing a story after carefully interviewing
you: the guy should receive a Pulitzer prize if he
gets your story 75% accurate. A really
great story is usually no more than 45% accurate. That is, it takes lot of different
independent sources and reporters to come up with the truth. In other words, you may have to become a
different human being than who you are now before you can even begin to
understand your specific purpose.
Yes,
everyone has a purpose. Just ask
yourself what is in your heart.
Yes,
everyone has a specific purpose. Just follow your bliss.
Well,
not exactly. Following your bliss may
get you dead or in jail (I know people who did precisely that) and doing what
is in your heart may mean hating, abusing, destroying, and annihilating anyone
who blocks your path (I know these folks too)—think about that!
Just
ask your minister, priest, Rabbi, or guru for your specific purpose to
fulfill. Each of these has a little
notebook in their hip pocket filled with quick and easy answers that they have
perfected and developed over thousands of years. After considering your gender, income,
wealth, age, and personality traits, and of course their own institutional
needs, they will be able to tell you exactly what your purpose is. And also they have a blue book in their other
hip pocket which lists the trade in value of your car. And they can tell you an insurance premium
for your age and health, interest per cent for loans,
and maximum apartment rental payment given your credit rating.
Well,
of course, there are those around who know the answer to all your questions,
the solution to all your problems, and your specific and exact divine purpose
for being here on earth. The problem is
there might be a little discovery process involved and your freedom of choice
just might play a large part. (As in
“What part have you chosen to play in the unfolding of creation?” God asks to
entire species on different planets throughout the universe. From Mystical
Fables, Chapter One, The Story of Creation.)
Now lets see, that Tarot card reader who downloaded a spirit of
divination begins laying out Tarot cards in a certain position to answer your
question, “This card represents you. And
this card is what opposes you. The next
card is your path in life. And this card
that goes across it is the obstacle that stands in your way. And the ‘specific purpose you are here to
fulfill’ is represented by this next card ….” (And if you don’t like these
answers you can come back tomorrow and the cards will lay out in a different
pattern.)
A woman who successfully
projects her mind inside of a man so that she can understand his mind,
emotions, and body based on first hand experience most likely will notice
which?
That
he can not find meaning in life by getting pregnant and having a baby nor find
the love he has always sought by having a daughter whereas some women can and
do.
That
being and feeling natural is not natural for him.
That
he can only derive meaning from doing, attaining, or accomplishing something.
That the sun in its heat and radiant energy is present
in miniature in his body even if he unaware of it, which explains why some men
are “driven.”
That
he is only totally “in” his body during sex, sports, hard work, or physical
action.
That
he likes to do one thing at a time because in this way he “feels” he is accomplishing
is mission—to project something of himself outward that seizes and transforms
the world.
That
he only feels fully alive when he “makes” things happen spontaneously.
That
a man is certain and “knows” something is right because that is what he wants
and needs it to be.
A
man can tell when he has a good women because she is
not selfish, that is, she gives of herself without trying to bend him to her
will. She may try to persuade him but
not by using sex as a weapon.
A
man feels in a woman’s body a cool energy like an underground
stream that flows, let’s go, nurtures the soul, and heals without any
action perceived or seen. Her body has
the power of water that absorbs energy into itself, stores it, and transforms
it and returns it continuously. Of
course, like an undertow or rip tide, it can drag down and drown or else quench
the thirst and renew, rejuvenate, and grant new life.
For
a millisecond, a man can experience the bliss of an orgasm just by looking on a
woman.
A
man naturally thinks about how to solve any problem and feels uncomfortable
when there is no course of action.
The
scent of a woman makes a man feel alive and energized.
A
woman who successfully, I mean really successfully projects her mind inside of
a man no longer hates men. Why? Because she can perceive things from the other side.
A man who successfully
projects his mind inside of a woman so that he can understand her mind,
emotions, and body based on first hand experience most likely will notice
which?
That
her body, emotions, and mind are always giving and receiving in everything she
does.
A
woman can tell when she has a good man because he strives to be stable, fair,
and consistent.
That
a woman only feels fully alive when things happen spontaneously.
A woman
is certain and “knows” something is right because that is the way it is
supposed to be.
A
woman feels in a man’s body a light and heat that excite, ignite, and seek to
bring the best out of life. It has the
power of fire that constantly is seeking a fuel it can burn in order to gather,
sustain, and focus its power. Of course,
it can destroy and devour or radiate light and create.
A
woman thinks about talking about a problem without having to solve it or do
anything about it.
The
scent of a man’s sweat makes a woman feel relaxed and calm.
A
man notices that a woman’s brain can experience pure physical being, that is
pleasure, without having to attach any imagery, fantasy, or power to it.
That
a woman can multitask: that she enjoys
pursuing several activities and is comfortable moving between them even with
interruptions and distractions.
That
a woman thinks in emotions—the nature, strength, and quality of the bond she
feels to others or to a topic influences the way she
relates to it.
That
a number of small fulfillments in life can easily add up to being more than one
great fulfillment.
She
can feel that a strong relationship with a sister, daughter, or mother is one
of the most fulfilling things in life. (But if anything, having a daughter is often enough to justify her
being alive.)
Once
his mind is inside a woman’s body, he feels that the universe in its
all-embracing, all-encompassing presence is living inside of her whether she is
aware of it or not.
A
man who successfully, I mean really successfully projects his consciousness
inside a woman suddenly realizes that every woman is like a mother, daughter,
sister, child, and guardian angel—someone to be honored and respected. That is, for the first time in his life he
actually experiences a woman without thinking in terms of sex, sex roles, or
erotic intent
A “silent spectator or
observer” is
This
is a practice in which you stand back and watch your own thoughts from a
distance while not participating.
A silent
spectator is someone at a sporting event who is unhappy that his side losing
but he doesn’t want to be a bad sportsman by complaining or booing. Or perhaps a silent spectator is an extreme
introvert who charges his energy up while sitting on the sidelines.
A
silent observer is like a medical researcher wearing white in front of a
microscope or an astronomer wearing ordinary clothes though warm clothes at
fifteen thousand feet in front of a telescope.
Neither wants to disturb what is being observed by interfering with the
accuracy of the perceptual transmission.
The
silent spectator is the one transcendental ego that no sword can pierce, no
fire burn, no water drown, etc. It is
the true self, utterly independent of the world and beyond all suffering. Now, let me see, to get this you just need to
join Shiva with Shakti who has ascended through your spine into your brain and
allow time, space, the universe, all opposites, etc. to be annihilated.
No,
the silent spectator is consciousness itself, that is, the deeper consciousness
free of contamination from the elements.
It is the mind that is open, luminous, self-aware, and empty of all form
like a mirror. Some say this mirror or
emptiness is already within each of us and some say you have to develop it but
the discussion is irrelevant since the same process is required for
“activating” it.
No,
“the mind is as vast as the sky, as deep as the ocean, as solid as a mountain,
and flexible like chewing gum.” (Shalpa Rinpoche). You develop this through a practice called
shinye in Tibetan Buddhism as compared to Vipassana in Theravada Buddhism. Vipassana is more like putting your mind
inside a closet—it is neither open nor vast but good for hanging specific things
on hangers.
No,
it is easier to practice by simply gazing upon the blue sky. Thoughts and sensations in your body and
disturbances in your awareness are like little clouds, well, maybe an
occasional thunderstorm or hurricane but the open and clear blue sky is still
there behind it all.
The silent
observer is a construct, an imagined or realized state of awareness in which
you eventually can stop all thoughts in your mind and simply be aware. You practice it until in your own way you can
shift into it whenever you want.
The
silent observer is like learning to ride a bicycle. Even though some Zen masters say you can not
stop the mind from thinking, people who say that do not bring the full power of
will to their practice. Once you get it,
like riding a bicycle, you never forget it.
But then again, if you try to move from a bicycle to a Hardly Davidson
or race bicycles in a French long distance race--that will take a lot more
practice.
If
you can stop all thoughts in your mind for a half hour or hour or, hey, even
for ten minutes, you are existing at least on a mental
level like a spirit of the earthzone.
There are now five thousand different powers and qualities of
consciousness you can discover within this silence of mind. Like what?
Well, let’s see. In the sphere of
Mars silence can be used to destroy anything.
In the sphere of Venus, a silent space of oneness is used for joining
totally to another in love. In the
sphere of the sun, silence is the empty mirror so clear, pure, and open that
the Presence of God can appear within it shining forth with an absolutely
original creative light. Within the
sphere of the moon, silence is timelessness—past, present, and future are open
to your gaze for you can now perceive how all unfolding causes arise and are
fulfilled and that the separation that seems to exist in time is an
illusion. In Mercury, silence enables
the will of God to gather in strength within your self until the divine purpose
manifests on earth. Does the silent observer inside of you right now know all
of this? Yes, absolutely. All of the above is present and arises in
accordance to the way you shape your silence and focus your observing. Although don’t try to observe this at a
Quaker meeting on Sunday when they sit in silence. Their “silence” is like coal mixed with shale,
bread mixed with stones, or a prayer meeting where someone has left the radio
on tuned into Howard Stern. There is too
much selfishness and ego present so their rating never gets beyond “amateur”
status.
On
the other hand, if you want to cheat at any time, you jump ahead and practice
akashic mediation. Then in a state of
akasha thoughts themselves dissolve instantly at the moment when they try to
appear.
There
are other ways of cheating. Project your
mind inside a Zen master’s mind, the Dalai lama’s
mind, or better still, the sylph Cargoste.
Cargoste’s mind is the perfection of Dzogchen—without thought or image
he is aware of the entire biosphere of the earth with all its interactions. Now that is a mind that is clear.
The
silent spectator is more like the director or producer watching an actor
putting on his clothes, entering the stage, and playing a certain role in a
stage play. Ah, but standing right next
to this director/producer is Mr. obsession, Mr. fascination, Mr. addiction, Mr.
“I have been hiding in your closet waiting to come out for your entire life,”
and numerous other characters. If the
director/producer decides to take a break, one of these other characters is
always happy to take over and take the play in a new direction or start a new
production.
Pop Quiz Part V
Mental Wandering is
Mental wandering is
“wandering around with your mind.”
Closely associated with Attention Deficit Disorder as
defined by the National Psychiatric Association, mental wandering arises due to
a weakness in brain chemistry.
Specifically, the synapses are firing without respect for proper order
and harmony; like someone cutting into a line, everyone ends up
dissatisfied. So keep your thoughts,
impressions, and perceptions properly aligned and if distractions occur? Well, what do you do? Like someone cutting into a line, “give them
a piece of your mind.” (Quote provided by the Official Handbook of Psychiatric Disorders which is ghost written
by the Ladies for Proper Social Etiquette.)
The mind is a terrible thing to waste. So don’t go wandering around. Keep your feet on solid ground. This is sound advice--a word to the wise will
suffice.
Mental
wandering is a method of projecting one’s mind directly into the realm of the
elementals, earthzone, or higher spheres.
No ritual or magical paraphernalia are required. It may help to saturate your mind wit the
vibration (light, elemental quality, etc.) of the domain where you are sending
your mind. Contact with spirits is then
made through casual encounter or through throwing in a name, a sigil, etc.
Mental
wandering is an advanced form of daydreaming.
Actually magical daydreaming can be accomplished through free
association in combination with magical intent and a trained receptivity. You just think of a spirit and then allow
your magically trained subconscious to interact with the spirit in an
effortless manner.
Mental
wandering occurs when the mind wanders into “higher” or “lower” spheres of
evolution, past, future, etc.
Dramatists, screenplay writers, and occult writers are particularly
gifted in this sort of thing.
Mental
wandering is for those magicians who do not like going to the bother of doing
evocation. You just interact directly
with a spirit without all the clumsy bother of using ritual, kind of like
making a new acquaintance or taking up a conversation where you left off with
an old friend.
Mental
wandering should be distinguished from astral travel. Astral travel involves pulling out one’s
astral body or some say one’s etheric body.
It is said that traveling with the astral body beyond the boundaries of
the earthzone with its elemental protective sphere will result in the death of
the magician. Therefore, make sure you
always have your spiritual passport in order and the correct akashic visas
issued for your spiritual explorations otherwise you may end up in a Saturnian
jail.
There
is no limit on where the mind can go, what it can
project into or join with. There is no
limit on what it can observe or understand from assuming an objective external,
an empathic internal, or both modes of observation simultaneously. Just remember, it is the always the heart that runs the search
program.
Swami Rama states that when
he received shaktipat from his master he remained in a state of ecstasy for
nine hours. I sent a telepathic request
to Swami Rama to experience briefly his experience and he sent me a shaktipat
that lasted nine minutes (well, I use the word “brief.”) This was a state of bliss which is like
having the perfect opposite of my self alive inside me so I am one with
her. Swami used to enter into this state
of oneness each night before going to bed for the rest of his life. What might this form of inner union signify
in terms of masculine spiritual or magical development?
Come
on. Any red blooded male wants to get it
on with or get some from a woman for reasons of mental and physical health and
emotional gratification. And you know,
those Swami’s are known for being horny esp. when they get around young,
Western women, also known as spiritual groupies. You can’t use gurus as a model for spiritual
behavior. Well, not unless your particular obsessive compulsive disorder is burning
incense, living in an ashram, wearing funny robes, and chanting. And then there is that little schedule scheme
of monastic chores such as cooking, cleaning the floors, and wiping up the
spiritual bullshit of your fellow practitioners.
You
know, Swami Rama might have had this feminine presence within himself as did
his master. But I kind of wonder who
started it? Was a woman the original
lineage master and so she passed her essence down by shaktipat to her male
disciples? If so, the male master must
be initiated by a female master. How
about that?
Or
was it that a male yogi practiced sexual/tantric yoga with a female
disciple? By doing this, the two united
their chakras as one. Thus the male
learned through direct experience how to embody in himself the essence of a
woman. Thus any male magician can learn
to embody within himself the feminine essence by working closely with a female
magician through tantric or magical sexual practices.
Or
perhaps the yogic lineage was founded when a male yogi united with and then
absorbed the woman’s soul into himself, taking her
essence without a fair trade in return.
Haven’t you heard what happens when the Buddhist lama sits the women in
the back of the temple during puga or a female notices that the Taoist sexual
yoga actually only benefits the men? Its called outrage.
Even women in Islam are starting to object to sitting in the back of the
temple. And Swami Rama’s one true love,
who he refused to marry, insisted he pursue a political career which he also
refused to do. I tell you, what used to
pass as “spiritual” is now called inequality, exploitation, and a bad career
choice in our age.
Ok,
let’s keep it simple. How can a man and
a woman give to each other to the extent that they actually taste, share, fully
experience, and learn to embody the essence of the other’s gender? This would include the mysteries of the
other’s spirit and also the goal of teaching each other the mastery of the
electric and magnetic fluids? (Would you
believe it? A woman actually asked me the above question. At most about six women email me during a year
from visiting my website). Stay tuned. This question no doubt requires a separate essay—see Problems in the Study of Magic, Part III.)
Hey,
Swami practiced yoga. Yoga is union.
Just do yoga. Your own body and
breath have the answers to all your questions.
Anyone
who pursues these questions is obviously obsessed with sex and women. In fact, this whole line of thought is the
product of a complete nerd, a geek.
Not. They are obsessed with the
creativity that comes from joining masculine and feminine whether within
oneself or in a relationship. Notice the
difference?
Duh. A magician must master both the electric and
magnetic fluids equally if he is going to create using magic (Bardon). What he
does with his personal life is his own business.
No,
a magician’s personal life is his highest art and best arena of magical
practice. And every man and woman has
something they can teach or give to the other should they have the opportunity
and recognize the possibility.
You
are personifying Swami Rama’s skatipat and expressing it as a “woman.” What Swami learned to embody in himself was
not a woman but the biochemical, spiritual, and psychological experience any
man can experience in the instant after he has an orgasm. This is that great moment of drama when his
physiology switches from the parasympathetic to the sympathetic system of
responses.
Special thanks to the increasing number of young
career oriented women who have dedicated their lives to mastering the masculine
electric fluid and due to increasing number of complaints from young male
magicians that women are no longer very feminine--the Magicians’ Guild is proud
to announce the release of a new herbal remedy.
This elixir is called the Moment After Orgasm
(also considered an effective herbal treatment for getting in touch with your
inner woman). Complete contentment and
the perfection of serenity are guaranteed lasting for nine hours (enough to get
a good night’s sleep without a feminine woman by your side.) It is offered
completely free of charge at any Guild Supply Outlet for those who are current
in their Magicians’ Guild dues.
Not. You miss the magical aspect. Swami Rama’s inner woman is a spiritually
living being made from out of his own vitality.
And like any spirit dwelling in akasha, Swami Rama simply switches into
a feminine aspect of himself since any adept on a high level is inherently
androgynous. (This explains why there is
“no marriage or giving and receiving of marriage” in heaven. They are all androgynous.) (“You mean the rest of the galaxy are
perverts?” from Left Hand of Darkness.)
Gees. All this talk about the
inner woman. Someone needs to get
laid.
We
here at of the privately funded Institute
for Guru Success would like to suggest that the phrase, “get laid,” is
inappropriate for a topic involving a high level of inspiration. We don’t mind you blasting gurus, making fun
of them, and describing their motives and actions with absolute cynicism—hey,
publicity is free advertising; it is worth money even when it is unfavorable as
long as it is correctly handled by an effective public relations firm. But really, “get laid” as a phrase suggests
something unseemly is going on.
As an alternative, may we suggest this:
“Although we are discussing the “inner woman” we are not describing anything
directly analogous to real women. Some individuals will in fact require a
healthy and intimate relationship with a woman depending on their karmic
situation.
“The “inner woman” is then more
appropriately used in the description of an internal spiritual process. This process is in fact going on within
everyone. Only a very small part of our
relationships to the opposite gender can be recaptured and applied to
illuminate what is in essence a divine image and state of consciousness found
within us.”
Now isn’t this way of saying it a whole lot
more informative and fairer to the fairer sex?

Millions
of sincere religious practitioners, except of course the radicals in Islam (and

gave millions of people the ability to foresee and to prevent it. They just didn’t bother doing what needed to
be done. (Or as Teddy Kennedy once said,
Nuclear war is “unthinkable.” Duh! I guess someone was thinking about it
after all.)

Communism,
like any other ideological system such as socialism, capitalism, fascism, and
feminism is based on a hardened complex of interlocking mental ideas. To succeed, these systems must hypnotize
their adherents’ emotions on the astral plane and severely restrict freedom of
action on the physical plane. In other
words, the mental ideas are ferociously jealous and require that others “think,
feel, and act” the way they do. This
hypnotic power eventually erodes and collapses under the weight of its own
narrow understanding of life. Communism
collapsed when a large part of its citizens became alcoholics and its economy
stagnant.

When someone dies
They
are pretty much the same although the level of energy they possess drops by
about 90%. This also causes them to lose
touch with physical time so that a few minutes for them may be months or years
in the real world.
Their
five senses no longer have a physical counterpart so that now they perceive on
the astral plane instead of within the physical world.
They
often do not know or refuse to believe that they are dead. This may result in elaborate visualizations
that perpetuate the fiction that they are still alive. (See the movie Jacob’s Ladder for a close approximation.)
A
“greeter” comes to meet them, often a member of their family who has previously
died and who seeks to guide them to their next realm.
They
sometimes appear just after death before someone who has the second sight” in
order to say a few last words.
They
enter the Bardo state where they choose between five different colors
representing five distinct Buddha realms or five states of suffering. Their choice then determines their fate. (But this only applies if they have
previously attended Buddhist catechism as a child.)
Their
consciousness moves to that state of density and illumination in the planet’s
astral plane which is suitable for their level of maturity, that is, they
finally find a “niche” which they may not have found in life.
95%
of those about to die have psychic visions of their “greeters,” of their mode
of departure (as a bus, airplane, ship that is coming to pick them up at the
moment of death) and often want to complete any “unfinished business” such as
packing a suitcase or saying goodbye to some loved one.
A
few, though declared dead, get sent back because it is “not their time.” They may also receive a vision or be given a
choice as to whether they wish to return. (See the movie, Heaven Can Wait, or individuals such as Ray Elkins who says he was sent
back by Christ).
Faith
(not belief in something but the quality and power of conviction that you can
unite with truth [and light] and express it through action) is the single most
important trait to possess for adapting to and succeeding in any afterlife
situation. (Cermiel—an earthzone spirit.) (see Q. “Should I be
afraid?” A. “Not a man like you.” Meet Joe Black)
They
enter the “light” or full presence of their guardian angel who grants both a
brief but total life review and a state of all-encompassing love and peace
(which they could have entered anytime while still alive had they tried hard
enough—Cermiel).
When
you die, you are dead. There is nothing
more to be said, other than the memories that are left in the brains of those
who remain.

you die, the best parts of yourself are like sparks that fly through the air
and become a part of those who are still alive.” (Whoopie Goldberg)
Practicing Bardon, you may
fall victim to various disturbances due to an overdeveloped or out of control
mental concentration. These might
include, dissociation from your personality, feeling that you have become a
detached spectator, inability to feel natural, to let go, and to flow, and so
forth. To get energy to come down from
out of your head you
Stop
doing so much magic.
Stop
doing all magic.
Stop
doing magic during this incarnation. You
did too much in other lives and this lifetime was designed as a rest stop on
your long journey to perfection.
You
have done too much magic. To compensate,
you have to do the opposite of magic—be physically active; engage in physical
work; play sports; climb mountains; do art but avoid magic in art, concentrate
on work and love—make money and make love; do things with other parts of your
body than your head, namely your hips, legs, and feet. If all else fails, do “the quick and easy
recovery remedy” for mentally disturbed magicians by concentrating for a minute
on each of your five senses twice a day.
The
problem is your self-talk—you are identifying with your own weird way of
thinking and are terribly shaken after glancing into the incomprehensibly vast depths of the human
mind (which other people of course do not sense or see). Therefore, put aside
your desires for attaining grandeur through magical practice by taking a life
long, self-taught class in 1. how to use ordinary
language, 2. speak like normal human beings, 3. engage in casual conversation, 4. act
normal and friendly, 5. avoid the use of abstractions,
esoteric, and metaphysical language altogether, and 6. above
all else—learn to be grateful and satisfied with each moment you are alive
(which is the single most important requisite for practicing genuine magic).
What are possible dangerous
side effects from practicing magic? Part
II.
As
happened to a kundalini yoga instructor, often someone in his apartment complex
would literally jump out of a window when he was deep in meditation.
After
doing love magic, numerous women fall in love with you. But a few of these women are willing to kill
you should you not return their affection.
After
doing a little wealth magic, very wealthy individuals seek to become your
patron. However, that Arab with all his
rolls Royce cars, private jets, and luxury yachts turns out to be an arms
dealer and wanted by the IRS; the CEO of a large company who wines and dines
you at a luxurious club turns out to want you to do insider trading; and
another CEO who lets you in buy in early on a soon to be IPO fails to tell you
that his company is already bankrupt.
You
discover that whenever you do meditations on world peace the head of the nation
you are praying for is often assassinated on shortly afterwards.
You
work in the akasha to remove the pain in another person due to her karmic
situation and discover she now hates you furiously for no good reason as if you
have stolen part of her soul.
That
one tiny piece of magic you did to send a hurricane away ended up diverting all
major hurricanes from the Pacific to the
After
practicing as a magician, people who know you begin treating you like God’s
gatekeeper, as if you can speak on God’s behalf. But you soon discover that practitioners of
magic never want a straight answer from you.
Instead, they are hoping you will verify and confirm the answer they
already have decided on whether consciously or subconsciously. So finally you understand why the Oracle of
Delphi was so obscure in its responses—the riddles from the priestess were designed
to verify and confirm whatever the petitioner already believed.
After
doing a little very rare magic for satisfying a personal desire you finally
understand the Greek saying, “The gods answer the
prayers of those whom they wish to curse.”
Religion is
A party. It is a chance for people who would never
ever associate to get together, commune, communicate, and celebrate their
community. (See the movie The Apostle.) Just ignore all that crap about guilt, hell,
purgatory, sin, etc. That is just there
to stimulate the adrenal glands—these glands feed on fear and terror. Since many people are adrenaline junkies,
they need a fix once a week to get their kicks.
(Marx didn’t quite have it right. The drug is not opium but epinephrine unless
you are into psychology like Freud and then it is cocaine. Freud, who worked with
extremely repressed women, observed that for many “pleasure is pain and pain is
pleasure”—a central doctrine of many religions.)
Religion
is a way to make people feel so important, for example, bribing them with “treasures
laid up in heaven” (or just for believing what we believe you will receive a
golden crown or at least a belt of gold [not to mention the possibly of young,
unspoiled and nubile women]) that for a very tiny part of the time here on
earth they just might learn how to do a few acts of unselfish kindness. (And
that is asking a lot).
The
first task of any religion (or mythology for that matter) is to teach the awe,
wonder, and mystery of being alive, that life is both horrible and wonderful at
the same time. (Joseph Campbell)
Religion
is the opiate of the people and communism works best in countries where the
middle class has not yet fallen victim to the addictions of leisure, freedom,
and a chance to fight for justice.
No,
very clearly those people in white shirts and ties who come to your door want
only two things from religion—1. spiritual security
and 2. “a community.
If you are after the truth of the universe or genuine wisdom you will
have to look outside of conventional religion.
Religions
are all the same. (RamaKrishna
after spending seven years practicing in each of the major religions).
Religions
are all different. (W.M.
after thirty years of projecting his mind inside of the main leaders of each of
the major world religions.)
You
should not try to change to another religion than the religion you were born
into. Just add a universally spiritual
(but neutral in terms of belief) system to the religion of your birth in order
to expand your awareness.
If
you have played the game Civilization
you know that religion is an upgrade to the advancement of civilization. For example, fanaticism is an upgrade over
warlords because it gets your army to fight harder for less cost. And Monotheism reinforces the rule of law,
enables an integrated state religion, and enhances morality in a way that
increases literacy and productivity.
Religions
are popular to the extent they guarantee their practitioners divine help in
fulfilling the desires of the three lowest chakras, namely, the desires for wealth,
for strong families (including a wife who will obey you or at least be bound to
conventional morality), and for social acceptance. (Joseph Campbell).
If you wish to acquire the expansions of
awareness such as the empathy of the heart chakra or the wisdom and intuitive
insight of the third eye you will have to go on a spiritual quest or journey.
(And this was the whole point of the Arthurian and Grail legends—you don’t get
spirituality in a church. You have to
get on a horse and ride off.)
How
can you miss something so simple as this? “God is near; He is within each of us.” Therefore let us treat each other as brother
and sister, as mother and father, as son and daughter that the Divine Presence
might be honored, respected, and celebrated.
Religions
involve extremely complicated and intricate combinations of accidental and
necessary historical events that shape their formulation. In truth, all religions are about one or more
of the following divine ideals: love, wisdom, power, and justice. All rituals, doctrines, lineages, and
ecclesiastical hierarchies are but an attempt, no matter how insipid, to make
these four ideals real.
Religions
subtly intertwine the positive and the negative often without any capacity for
self-reflection that could discern the negative within their own actions. Consider faith and conviction, qualities
associated with the cosmic letter K.
Faith and conviction reveal dynamic ways of moving into the future with
great creativity and ingenuity. But with
a negative slant, faith and conviction become an advanced form of psychic
vampirism that like fire feeds on others’ emotions and devotion in order to
reinforce its own power base. Is the
televangelist preaching the Gospel or is he hypnotically suggesting that you write
out and mail in a check through clever manipulation and emotional
enticements? Certainly we witness both
the positive and negative in all levels of all religions.

The best way for women to
master the magnetic fluid (the psychological, spiritual, and universal essence
of femininity) is to gain familiarity with which of the following meditations
or procedures:
Sit
down and talk to other older women about their experience with love. (See American Quilt) (I have spent at least
thirty hours talking to my mother about the twenty five men she dated in
college, why she married my father, and what resulted; for example, she would
never have dated a guy named Jerold Ford, captain of the football team who sat
next to her in class and later became president of the
Meditate
on the undine/mermaid Istiphul, the most beautiful creature on earth. Because, if anything,
Istiphul is a grand master of the magnetic fluid. Other undines are also great such as Isaphil
who embodies water and lunar serenity.
Project
your mind into the Dalai Lama’s heart chakra, which is a sea of compassion of
cosmic dimension.
Of
course there is Mother Mary on the inner planes.
And
Christ has a love and compassion embodying divine being; just ignore the
history of Christianity which took the wrong turn.
Gabriel,
who impregnated Mary according to the Gospel of Luke, is the archangel in this
solar system in charge of divine sensuality and obviously eroticism and who
oversees “the birth of new light on earth.”
The
blue green, watery cosmic letter M, the “mother letter,” that embodies the
essence of universal water and magnetism, especially working on the astral and
physical plane. (See my essay, Problems in the Study of Magic, Part III:
The Magnetic Fluid)
Immersing
your hands in a bowl of water each day and identifying with the water
surrounding your hands.
Meditating on the sea, the life within it, and
becoming the sea from continent to continent, from pole to pole. As Istiphul
once put it, “In your soul waves roll five thousand miles and magnetism flows
between the poles.” Sometimes you just
have to pull out all the stops and really love what you are doing.
The Goddess of the Earth, the earth mother, etc. The Hopi Indian medicine man was unwilling to teach
anyone. So I evoked the vibration of the
earth mother in my aura and in the next moment, without commenting on the
meditation, he began teaching me. That
was in 1975.
In
the screenplay, Fall of Atlantis, the
Goddess of the Earth asks Le’ah’e, “Do you wish to shine with my light and be
anointed with my beauty?” Le’ah’e says yes.
The Goddess goes on, “Then two things I require: establish justice upon
the earth and do as my Beloved and I do—make the world new.” “How do I do
this?” asks Le’ah’e. The Goddess replies,
“Create a religion without priests, temples, or rituals in which love, power,
wisdom, and justice are equally honored and pursued.”
I imagine the life force of the Goddess is
within and sustains every living being.
You just have to get inside that.
Then
again, one of my favorite, the Great Feminine also called the cosmic void that
contains all the stars and galaxies.
Though utterly empty, without form, without thought, without substance
of any kind, receptive to the extent of being a physical component of
all-embracing love or omnipresence (and also like Prajnaparamita, the mother of
all the Buddhas), it has brought forth life on all planets on all worlds
throughout the universe. But then again,
you’ll have to be “madly in love with the universe” to pull off this
meditation.
Spirit guides. I know, I know, most people are thinking of a
spirit on the inner planes, perhaps an Indian medicine man with an eagle
feather, a guru with a turban, or a Tibetan lama with a vajra, etc. I have a little time to write here at the

some of your more “interesting” life experiences. What is the past like when you relive it with
her by your side? She whispers in my ear
with her arms around my shoulders, “Its ok,” that time I felt I had died while
still alive.
And another time she says, “This was one of your
worst” as she sits next to me, holds me, and enchants me as I gaze into her
eyes. It was when I lost something I
will not be able to replace until my next life time.
And you know that kind of loneliness so deep, so cold,
so abandoned and alone like a field of wheat or corn destroyed by a storm and
so left waiting for the first snow to fall. She is there at my side--“Your
spirit can not fail you with me as your spirit guide.” I agree with her a
hundred per cent. Now if I had only had
her back then I would be where I am now a few decades sooner. Well, not bad for a start and at this point
we are only doing art.
Now
part two, maybe something a little more seductive (to hold your attention
better). Ok. Like a supermodel of your own choosing. Don’t be shy.
You are free to combine kind of like Al Pacino in the movie Simone.
But just to keep it “spiritual” add a touch of Saturnian wisdom.
How? Well, that sway of her hips—it uplifts rising
upon the air as a breath on a path of love flies on wings to the heart of
God. Never thought of the sway of a
woman’s hips in that way? Try this. She bends your head back and gives you a
kiss. Your entire life, every desire, is raised to a new height and
simultaneously every desire is assuaged; to kiss her lips is reason enough in
this moment to justify why you exist (can you feel that?); you rest your head
on her lap and your identity dissolves as you hear the Song, the Song of Wonder
that sang the universe into being. You
see the sun and the earth and a billion years unfolding. You become the seas and every living
being:
“I have entered a place where men are forbidden to go,
a place
of the soul
A wilderness unknown
Where breath can not flow
The heart can not seek
But it is clearly seen as she dances for me--
Her hips and thighs
Caressing the air
