newbie, dealing with new abilities and energies Options

As many of you know I have started a large amount of converse in the two topics Ive posted on. I believe that if this is a matter to be discussed, than it shouldnt be done on someone elses topic and hinder them from obtaining any information that they might need.

Lately I have been dealing with alot of changes to my limits and abilities. If you already know what they are than I have no need to repeat them.

A long story short, I have recently discovered magick as some might say but the difference is, I discovered this from no book and no spell. I kinda fell into it. I have shown many signes that what I have fell into deals with necromancy but it also has alot to do with elements, or at least it seems. In all honesty the thought of necromancy is kinda scary but then again many things have been misunderstood in this world. Lately I have been very confused about what to do and seem to be forgetting reality.

If you have anything to say about anything please do.

I personally do not think it is wise for people with a tenuous grasp of reality to f%*! around with magick. The resulting changes to ones mental map can push people over the edge into an abyss they can never get out of. Paradigm shifting is not something that comes without consequence.

A good guide is this... can you paradigm shift back to a rationalist pov and laugh at yourself and banish all the demons and spirits and ghosts and dragons and vamps? If you can then you are probably going to be able to avoid fucking up your mental health. If not then you are possibly going to end up locked into a dysfunctional reality.

Your choice.

hmmm, I remember when my powers first started growing, i felt as if I would loose my grip on reality and because my mother who also had gifts was mentally ill. The thought of turning out like her really frightened me. I was at a friends house. I had done alot for this partcular group calling back there past relatives, guardian Angels, just alot of things to help people find there way. My came to join me during mediation. He told me one thing, that I had gifts, that just because they where simlar to my mother didn't mean I would turn out like her. He told me to view reality for what it was. It was the last part that caught me, I am not just a magickally inclined person who accepts things. I want to know the science behind it. So when he said that I realized something. Reality is a diffrent perception to everyone. Everyone see's what they call the world in a diffrent way based on the experiences that have shaped them.

To countiue to practice just remember. Reality is simply another state of mind, do I still see things that others don't of course, I see peoples Auras all the time, and things that no one else can. Do I acknowledge that i see these things, Yes, do I acknowledge them out loud to others, or behave in a way that people would think weird of course not. Knowledge is power, the fool that says he knows all is just that a fool, but the person regardless of their Ego that can say "I don't know will you teach me" is the one with the true power. What you have discovered can be a dangerous thing, refer to a book called"The Case Of Charles Dexter Ward" Its a great non fictional book. Its shows you what each and every one of us is capable of. It will also steer you in a direction so you don't make a mistake and end up hurting yourself and someone else. So study, practice, and remember that like all things reality is simply a state of mind.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rofl.gif)

I agree that state of mind is a VERY powerful thing. However, to acquire power - in whatever we seek - I found that there is more to it than simply a state of mind. I'm still studying and researching into this but there's definately energies current, thoughtforms and unique electromagnetic flow/fluid around us we need to comprehend in order to learn to master ourself, powers and our environment thus creating our realities.

It is not really that big a deal to be master of your own little self delusion.

Magic is not something to play with or claim to be a master of. It can send you into a state of dillusion very quickly.

It is better to practise in silence and not claim anything but practice and practice expecting nothing but accepting all the shit it causes.

Magic is not for everyone. The first few steps into its dominion is gentle and seems fun but then when you cannot turn back and your life turns to custard it is not fun anymore.

Think carefully before opening pandoras box. your life will never be the same.

Be careful love. It does funny things but it is not the magick which does it this it is your own mind and perception. If you are weak and undisiplined then magick is not for you. It requires strength and dedication... I know of many patients in mental wards who are former practitioners who thought they could do things paranormal with no regard to their mind set. They were weak and got their fuingers burned.

I am one of those who are there to try to pick up the pieces. sadly the health service of our wonderful country do not want to know the cause they just want to take the problem out of the public sector.

Occult powers that you get through magic may make you arrogant. If you misuse your powers then, a downhill path starts for you. A magician has therefore to be discriminate.

Welcome back Prophet Ezra.

New job? From your previous posts I got the impression you were working in older trade than psychotherapy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

It has been my experience to see evil people practise magick more than the good people. Also I have observed that evil people possess more thaumaturgic powers. Good people seem to be content with merely living a simple straight life.

"It is not really that big a deal to be master of your own little self delusion."

What is delusion to some, maybe truth to others. Could you tell someone living deep in the rain forrest. Generations and cultures of powerful people that what they do is a delusion because you do not have the sight to see it. Magick can be dangerous, it isn't a toy or a game, but a clouded ego is what fuels that danger. Seek to understand and you shall fine. Remain egocentric and eventually you'll be the one to find yourself traped in the delusions of grander... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/angel.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/angel.gif) ... and through the eyes of angels, archangels we all live in a world of delusion.

Each and everyone of us go about our daily lives hoping what we appear to others as normal and acceptable. We all strive to conform and to be accepted. We sometimes forget our own feelings and our own inner dialect; often we will undertake tasks and life patterns which we despise just to conform and be accepted.

Isn't this the greatest delusion of them all?

Through my eyes, any practitioner of magic who uses its potent force to reshape their lives to live a life more suited to what the inner self requires isn't delusional .... despite much of their viewpoints and actions appearing delusional on the outside through the eyes of others. How can we determine what is delusional in another's life if we are not living that life?

Opinionation of others and chastisement of others for not conforming to our own viewpoint of self may well be the greatest delusion of all since it is that which we have been programmed to think like.

I see all who practice magick in whatever form brave ... braver than those who accept the conditioned and programmed life which is set for them .... and never complain ... who comply to the rules and the regulations of human society without question.

He or she who accepts any form of magick (white, black ... delusional or whatever) is permitting a powerful biochemical and biomagnetic force to come into their lives and turn it upside down. The first actions of magick are in the inside, out of view of prying eyes. Inner changes will change the perceptions of the magician to think and feel like the true inner self.
