Frustrated With Lbrp Progress... Have You Ever Seen "visions" After Doing It? Options

It's been doing it for about a year, during some periods every day... and I just can't get any juice out of it.

It started well enough, but after a few months of daily practice, I didn't seem to have any results. I read Kraigs' modern magic book and he says it is likely you'll start seeing "visions" of things, he says he saw a snake disappear into the floor or something.

I'm no where near that point, if indeed I can get to such a point. I know the point of magick is NOT to have little tricks and visions but I feel bad that I cannot sense any true progress. I expected I would at least have gradual signs or feelings that I was advancing, even if just in baby steps.

Part of my problem may be that I rarely vibrate the names aloud, and when I do, I tend to feel a bit silly. My room has no curtains on the windows and there IS a constant sense of paranoia, at most times of day. I don't know. I dont plan on giving up but I wanted to know other people's sensations of "progress."

i'd say its time to cover the window, at least when you're doing the ritual - just throw a blanket over it or something - this will also signal your subconscious, once you've done it a few times, that you are starting the ritual, and that will help more than anything, imo, also if you are doing the ritual in street clothes, try putting on a necklace or something to help indicate the start of the ritual to the subconscious

and, like the most excellent answers have previously said, don't worry about seeing stuff or not - the whole idea when you 'see stuff' is to be expanding your senses beyond the everyday world, that will come once you continue your mastery of the chosen technique

as for kraig's snake being 'real' (anticipating the next question) - i see stuff all the time anyway - worked for many years getting the ability to see astral forms, etc, now its both a blessing and a curse - a lot of it has to do with 'partial projection' - once you get expanded, trying to keep the expanded portion slightly out of the body, slightly to the left or to the right of 'in', so you walk in both worlds at once - anyway, like when i just went to let the dog in, i saw a flock of birds in the yard but they cast no shadows in the bright sunlight - were they there and real or not? i have come to the conclusion that the things i see are indeed there and real, perhaps not so much earth-bound, but they are there and real, somewhere
