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."

Thanks everyone for the considerate responses.

Here's a question about technique: all the books I've read say that the words should be vibrated AS you throw your hands out into the Enterer sign. That gets me stumped because I find it hard to vibrate simultaneously as thrusting. So you are saying to vibrate then thrust, as the end of the vibration?

The correct method is there is an internal vibration as per the middle pillar at the beginning of the sign of the enterer and then a outward audible vibration as you perform the sign of the enterer along with the appropriate energy movement.

In truth the LBRP should be learned and practiced in stages until you are competent in the ritual.

Obviously you first have to memorize it. Then concentrate solely on the movements until your pents and steps are correct. Then concentrate on the audible vibrations. Then concentrate on the visualizations. Finally, concentrate on the inward vibration and energy movement. Work on each part until everything is put together.
