Wandering Love

Image
The life of a householder.....a way of existing, that is at odds with the life of an occultist. Tis a constant tension for me....there is always some part of my heart that desires stability and routine, but my 1st love is the path. Lately, I've been thinking on the life of Paganini, widely acknowledged, as the greatest violinist ever. He drank, gambled, womanized and died in his 50s.......yet was also an absolute master of his craft and untethered from norms. The Devil's Violinist.....it's a powerful and romantic vision, a way that calls to my heart. Most famous writers live a similar way.....deeply flawed.....yet equally devoted. The dream of a wanderer drenched in his craft....it's something to meditate upon. I've still yet to finish Casanova's memoirs.      Living this type of liminal life.....it's important to be able to drop everything at a moments notice. It occurred to me, that I should never own a house, in a way that is burdensome. Meaning that if I...

Internal Strength

Image
When it comes to the martial arts.....I suppose this is a male bias.....but not much attention is payed to Internal Strength. Expansive, Piercing and Projecting Thurisaz forces, get all the fame and glory. Defense is not sexy. Yet lately, I've learned how Internal Strength plays a key role in Draconic mysteries and the martial path.  What is Internal Strength? The quality of qi flow in the Internal Organs (Kidney, Liver....etc) and the capacity for Healing. When I think about careers in UFC and Football......occupations where your body is getting beat into oblivion, causing both internal and external injury. These are the fields where Internal Strength has exceptional value. Beyond basic longevity.....it's in these areas where draconic qi can play a very powerful role. Whether it's in your career or on the battlefield.....Internal Strength teaches you how to healing yourself, so that internal injuries will not linger, causing long term consequences. Even external muscular t...

The Holy Book of the Great Invisible Spirit

Image
A very interesting and potent text, one that I will likely have to come back and work with thoroughly to decode. Jesus came through right from the start and said:    "this is a very important text" When I was finished my read, he said:  "this text contains all sorts of occult and holy mysteries, but can only be understood by those purified."  In response, I asked him how to purify oneself in order to understand the text and he replied: "Make offerings to me and I will help you through the process." Jesus taking a personal interest in the text, led me to ask him if this was directly related to his mysteries.....but he said: "No"   I'll return at a later time, I know there are profound mysteries here.....but it's difficult to parse. Additionally, I've previously heard about the Sethian spiritual current, but this is the 1st time they've been mentioned so far in Marvin Meyer's edition. I imagine the "Sethian Story" wi...

The Book of Thomas

Image
Much like the previous, this text was calm and not energetically potent. The theme is casting of worldly passions, possessions and investing in the "Invisible" world....so that you can be "saved" from damnation. The ladies get some shade thrown in this text.....as they are often the object of Men's "passion".  While an enjoyable read, albeit short.....can't say that I have a favorite quote. Onto the next passaage:  - The Holy Book of the Great Invisible Spirit

Glyph Flame

Image
I finished my work with, "On the Origin of the World" a lot quicker than predicted. The fruit of that project, I'm now able to perceive the basic "energy form" I'm seeking to bridge. Internally.....it appears as an " eye wreathed in black flame ". That being said....I'm still not capable of bringing it into the physical  (Glyph), thus the work continues.  In addition, with regard to the glyph, I'm giving up on the arcana structure. I've noted all the occult "ore veins" in previous posts and if people want to explore those arcana, great, I think the notes I've given are already enough for people to explore those dimensions....no extra help necessary. Instead, I'll be zoning in on the "structure" or "map" dimension of the project. This glyph will be a practical tool for "Optionality"  and "Wheel Sorcery" , as noted in the Astral Ecology blog. The goal, is that by working with the G...

Exegesis on the Soul

Image
Tis an interesting text, not energetically super-charged like some of the Nag Hammadi, but a calm and relaxing breeze. The theme of Whoredom and the Soul was fascinating.....it slightly reminded me of the Kabbalah Bride-Groom narratives and the desire for upper-lower "reunification". Jesus came through right from the beginning and observed the reading.  In terms of the practical uses, of reading the text, he said that: " If your ever going through "hard times", read this text and it will help "sort through" the chaotic energies of your life."       My favorite quote:  "So we need to pray to the Father and call on him with all our soul, not outwardly with our lips but with the spirit, which is within and has come from the depth,  sighing repenting for the lives we led,  confessing our sins,  recognizing the vain deception  and vain zeal we were in,  weeping over our lives in darkness, as billows roll,  mourning for ourselves  th...

Astral Ecology and Internal Training

Image
The Astral Plane (as far as I've observed) can be divided into 3 Big Vortexes. If you've been following my glyph projects and other notes.....you'll know there is so many different ways to divide these ethereal planes.....but in terms of the big ley lanes.....these are the following:  Astral Big Vortexes -Shapeshifting  -Water Qi  -Dark Realm     I've worked a significant degree with Shapeshifting and Water Qi.....but only recently started the Dark Realm.....this energy is not approachable at all and even going into that space is dangerous...but as I've mined deeper and got more experience with the Astral Body....it slowly opened.  I was actually forced to work with the Dark Realm recently, in order to push forward my healing process. My capacity to pass this kidney stone of karmic energy......was being inhibited by a lack of "internal flexibility" in my astral form. Via dark realm training, I was able to expand my channels and enhance the healing proc...
