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."

Just an update... working on vibrations but still no real luck. I have tried the advice above.

I don't know what my problem is. I am expecting to feel deep quivering vibration "waves" from where I focus my attention. Maybe I am being too "physical"... are the vibrations meant to be more subtle? Anyone know of any extremely in-depth instruction?

I am trying to get the plane off the ground... I've read a lot but I dont see the point in doing the more complex rituals if i cant get the basics right. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/baby.gif)
