Truth Seeking, what is life, what is humanity, what is you Options

as the topic suggests.

Lately i am missing more occult discussions on these forums. altough i like talking about vegetarianism and drugs, i want to talk more about the nature of my beliefs and study.
namely the search for pure untainted truth. and the gathering of as much power as i can contain.
Those are my goals, towards enlightenment.

I was wondering how others view their search for whatever they are searching for.
perhaps some have found some form of truth they are content with, i wish to hear about these opinions in a respectable way.
no bashing others ideas, just sharing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/baby.gif)

I myself belief in non-existance. however i believe this truth has to be experienced in an enlightening experience, or more experiences.
at the moment i have experienced this at times. but i seem to keep forgetting it in the long run, and their seems to be a need for constant experiencing this non-existance. thus to live fully in this awarenes. This is hard to do, but rewarding as it makes life a peacefull experiences.

No-mind, the stopping of mind chatter is the primary practise of this belief, toghether with meditation.

this i try to combine with ceremonial magick, trying to get a taste and feeling of magickal essense and energys. i have found they have a distinct taste when working with them over the years. enlarging this taste and connection is one of my goals.

the increase in magickal potence gives me more control over things in life trough magick. this enables me to worry less about things not nesesary for the first goal of no mind. This way i can use magick to steer my life where i want it with little effort, so that i can practise no-mind and non-existance in an undisturbed way.

However, i have many questions still and many ways to go.

I hope this will get a possible discussion started, perhaps we can enlighten each other on various ways.
i would really like to learn more about the magickal side, sinse i consider myself still a child in learning at that side. The consepts of the spiritual side are easier.

so lets get started, anyone wanna share their core beliefs, mentalities conserning their practise. not really the tools of the trade, but really what goes on in the head while doing them. feelings tastes sensations that happen during practise.

my magick practise tastes verry purple. the nature of these energies tastes not evil or good, its a strange taste. a feeling of strength and energy without a connection to good or evil, a purple goo swirling around me. this is not something i visualise, its not important to me how you visualise your magick. its the feedback you get. no matter how i visualise my magick acts, it always tastes like this to me, wich is something i think more true than my visualisations.

I believe that by discussing these tactile connections we can learn from each other how to closer connect to these energies. in truth and not merely visualisation techniques. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

lets begin...

bb3, i think you have a good point.
I was also wondering, by listening, do you mean observing your thoughts but not interacting with them.
Or does listening mean actively thinking about stuff?

LitzB it must be a great feeling when your little grandchildren tell you that.
you also say "I used to think that black was black andwhite was white. Now I don't know"
But shouldn't it be, now i know it isn't so. i think there are many shades of grey in everything.

But it makes it harder these shades of grey, there is no clear cut easy truth then anymore.
How does that not knowing make you feel, and how does it connect to what your little grandchildren tell you.
Do you think perhaps, f%*! it all, as long as i can hear my loved ones say such things.
or...


darkgoddes.
I agree to most of what you said. As i believe more or less in the same things.
But the problem with such ideas, beliefs is. They are logical and rational things.

To me magick is emotion. How does it feel when you realise, really realise with all your being that all is just energy.
What is the nature of this energy, what texture does it have when it flows trough your fingers, and into your lungs.
What does it feel like to be just a part of this flow.

These are things that are really interesting and hold more knowledge.

I'm sure you have such feelings if you search for them, it adds color and texture to these words that i seek. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
