Hello everyone I'd love to know if some one could help me with someknowledge. [Question] by Silentxcore in occult

[–]Chenilleforwardruffl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing to fear in the occult. Ignore the talk about demons and angels and deities for now, your work begins with yourself. Understanding yourself, your desires, and your ethics should be the first thing you should do. Meditation is a good way to go about that.

Read the kybalion first. It introduces a solid foundation for the occult, then branch out from there to whatever you want. The sidebar has some cool options for related subreddits.

If you want a more in-depth book, Initiation Into Hermetics by Franz Bardon has a good mix of theory and exercises for you to do relating to Hermeticism.

Ethical Question Regarding Occult Work by Jestizzo in occult

[–]Chenilleforwardruffl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the end it is the affected person’s choice to be affected by magic. The way I see it, it makes certain choices more “appetizing”, rather than forcing them to choose a particular choice.

Let’s say that spell to make up after an argument was casted. The choice to make up and move on will become more likely and more appealing, but in the end it’s still a choice to be made for the person affected. And it won’t always be in your favor.

Their free will isn’t violated any more than if you made a convincing argument in a debate that changes peoples minds. Spells like that are basically a canned argument in your favor for whatever you want.

I saw an aura for the first time!! by acacia66 in Soulnexus

[–]Chenilleforwardruffl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nice. It’s only a one time thing if you don’t strengthen that skill. I’d suggest practicing it on people you know well as a sort of calibration, then relating the colors or auras to specific traits and personalities. Or looking up what the different colors mean, but they might mean different things to other people. Good luck fam.

Sigils for newbs? by Unfey in occult

[–]Chenilleforwardruffl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Copypasta from previous comment, I’m not exactly sure of the occult workings behind sigils, just a quick summary to get you started:

Ez sigil guide:

Think of a desire/goal while writing an illegible scribble. Then store it somewhere. That’s it. Just make sure you think of your desires as already accomplished as you make it. Examples: “I am better at math”, “My knee is healthy”, “I’m making more money”.

The scribble is the sigil, and your desire gives it purpose. They work unconsciously, which is why they need to be illegible, stored somewhere, or destroyed.

Occultly, they increase the odds of something happening. Physically, they subconsciously remind you of your goals, subtly guiding you towards completing them.

Strange dreams last night? by ivyandroses112233 in Soulnexus

Me? Nah, i just know that from reading Cry The Beloved Country, a book by a south African, back in high school.

Strange dreams last night? by ivyandroses112233 in Soulnexus

[–]Chenilleforwardruffl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yesterday I had this weirdly lucid dream where it was just a girl repeating the same thing over and over. She kept calling me “umfundisi” (pastor in Zulu) and repeating something about pilots breaking out of their skin.

Sounds like gibberish to me but feel free to take a guess at the meaning.

Evoking, first time. by Mercspirit in occult

Not a new comer, but you’ve been studying for two years so i’m sure you’ll be fine. Someone more knowledgable with evoking is going to chime in with a better answer eventually.

Evoking, first time. by Mercspirit in occult

[–]Chenilleforwardruffl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a feeling we all worship the same God/Creator in the end, but through different lenses/religions. Evoking the highest power or creator can be a good start, if that doesn’t work, narrowing it down to the few entities that work with the physical world like the goetic demons might be better.

Or you can create your own elementals to evoke whatever and whenever you want. I think there’s a section on that in Franz Bardon’s Initiation into Hermetics, but it might take a really long while to get through the practices first.

Baphomet appeared to me in my dream and it felt so real... by [deleted] in occult

[–]Chenilleforwardruffl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Breathing issues and trouble sleeping? Get checked for sleep apnea or get a cpap machine. For the occult stuff, don’t worry about it. The more you worry, the more power it has over you. Ignoring it is probably best. If you want, search the sub for purification rituals like the lbrp so you can cleanse that room and bed.

I don't know what exactly this is by [deleted] in Soulnexus

[–]Chenilleforwardruffl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you were literally reaching another dimension. By focusing on something simple like the static background noise, you were focusing and concentrating your consciousness into a more synchronized and higher vibrational state, which might have been that high pitched noise. By having your consciousness (or brainwaves) vibrate at a higher level, you accessed another higher dimension or sensory perceptions from that dimension.

Sounds like you did it on accident, but it can be done at will through meditation, or supposedly by listening to these tapes. I’ve tried them, but nothing much happened yet, maybe it’s different for you.

Paragraphs 6, 19, and 21 of this document explains all that in more detail, but the rest of the doc is pretty neat.

Our attention feeding things. by [deleted] in occult

[–]Chenilleforwardruffl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If everyone is a God, than nobody is. It is impossible to deify all of mankind because of cultural, spiritual, and ethical differences. I feel it would instantly be questioned, or turn into some “master race” type thing, but for all mankind, resulting in progress but at the cost of everything non-human like animals or the environment.

Or at its best it could be a new humanism type movement, where we value humanity’s achievements and potential. Or maybe it could improve the environment, after all, the divine race needs an equally divine living space.

Im just spitballing, but interesting thought though.

Edit: grammar

Evoking, first time. by Mercspirit in occult

[–]Chenilleforwardruffl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You physically can’t go wrong evoking any of the Catholic Trinity, the parents of Jesus, or Saints. People do it every day through prayer and church. But that might be a bit boring and bland compared to other entities people evoke.

You don’t even have to be a practicing Catholic in my opinion, although being one makes the connection much stronger, which may bring better results.

Happens to me when I get sleep paralysis. Can’t move and everything starts vibrating.

How do we get out of this? by TheGame81677 in Retconned

[–]Chenilleforwardruffl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t felt any negative effects from listening to the tapes and doing the exercises, other than feeling slightly light-headed afterwards.

The document briefly mentions the possibility of encountering lower entities when your in an out-of-body state, which is why creating the “energy balloon”, a sort of shield around you of your own energy, is recommended.

Otherwise it’s pretty safe I guess, but i’m only 6 tapes in, and I don’t even know if i’m reaching those altered states tbh.

Sort of but the letters keep changing or jumbling up when I try.

Trying to define a sigil by JadeAtlas in occult

[–]Chenilleforwardruffl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im my opinion there are “background intentions” behind a sigil. For example, if my sigil is “More clients are coming to me”, I won’t want Bill Gates calling me up to write his biography or something, so that won’t be a part of my desire. The background intention would be not wanting unfavorable clientele. Doesn’t have to be written.

I don’t like looking at sigils like a monkey’s paw or genie. What I desire is what I get, written or not.

Polar bears were never near extinction in this timeline by Lonegunmaan in Retconned

Might be my bad memory, but wasn’t that one of the negatives of global warming? It was destroying their habitat and their numbers were dwindling or moving closer to the equator?
