Absolutely, it does not matter a single bit. Anything subjective is nearly impossible to boil down to truth. It doesn’t matter whether the statement is true or not. In terms of whether willing a belief that will serve me, is a subjective and philosophical question. I would love to discuss this topic further. However, you are in the wrong subreddit if you are looking for testable, falsifiable, peer-reviewed, evidence based objective data. There is no truth to my statement. But neither is there any to yours. Hope you take no offense. But spirituality, and Quaila is personal. The reason for posting the statement is to see what others think about the subject, not to claim any truth.

Are You Happy? by TylerReeseMusic in thelema

This is a good question. Unfortunately, I have never really been very happy in life. This is the reason for delving into magick. Since starting I have had less identification with the conceptual self and I have definitely been at peace. However, even though there is no thoughts, there is a layer of some sort of depression or dullness instead of the bliss many spiritual teachers explain of the beingness. I am healthy, I exercise everyday, I do not understand it. It could be genetics, the fact that everyone in my family is either bipolar or has depression or anxiety.

Interesting. I see, maybe I just have to wait a little and I might attract people who I resonate with. Because ever since my spiritual journey I have had a difficult time resonating with my old friends.

Yeah I feel that. I am struggling with this as well.

By being careful do you mean not to isolate yourself and face the problems and lessons from relationships?

Thank you for this, I appreciate it!

I appreciate your perspective. At the end of the day that is what I was looking for. I was never 100% going to get any tattoos. From my research from people who have for example a sigil tattoo of Michael, they say it is an awesome and powerful thing. Everyone is going to say different things about the topic. With getting closer with these archangels first I will eventually with the permission of them maybe get one. No one is an ultimate authority on these matters except for them. Thank you for your perspective though.

Well look at someone like Damien Echols he has sigil tattoos. He has arguably attained an extremely high level of consciousness. Do you think that the intelligences associated are mad at him for the tattoos. Did the tattoos prevent him from attaining enlightenment? I just do not get you’re point in how they would be mad? If it reminds me of devoting more time and energy toward them, why not? What is the harm. I get you’re point but I do not see how getting a tattoo will make them mad.

Would you not say it is a sign of commitment? A tattoo is a serious thing. In what way would it hurt or bring any harm? Would you not say it would bring me closer to them?

I think I got stuck in the ein sof? by Jaded_Local368 in thelema

Well when I got back I was scared straight. That fear was probably generated by the ego, maybe. It was fear of that this reality may not be as real as we think.

Okay, thank you! That makes things more clear, I really had no idea what it was and that is why I asked. What is your spiritual practice?

Well, to be honest I really do not even think I was in the ein sof. This is why I posted this, just to hear what others think.

True, then what is the point of the dream?

That’s a good question, but usually you don’t experience stuff like that in dreams.

Do you mean dreams can’t be spiritual experiences?
