I am wondering if anyone practicing Thelema or Golden Dawn or any other Western Mystical path has attained anything akin to samadhi, or enlightenment, or if it's all just a sham.
I acknowledge that using these rituals and overall philosophy can induce brain change. I know my brain has changed since I started. Yet what is the end result? I read books by Crowley and Regardie, yet what was the result of their Work?

Western Magick is eclectic. A huge buffet of practices, theories. There are certain "utensils" so to speak that are universal and necessary for example, the LBRP
Crowley, Regardie, LBRP ... each is a part of
A system of doing magick.
They're most certainly not the
ONLY means of doing magick.

I was introduced to magick via Dr. Wayne Dyer and "The Secret" (I started out wanting to improve myself; I was initially searching for a more efficient means of wielding The Power of Intention and the Law of Attraction. I found Dyer's methods physically and mentally exhausting. (IMG:

I don't do well with knowledge just for knowledge's sake, because if you can't apply said knowledge to your daily life it doesn't really mean anything.
I agree ...
