Why The Lbrp? Options

Okay, I've recently decided to have a change a scenery and try Ceremonial Magick instead of Witchcraft. Well, I bought a great book titled Modern Magick. And it, like every other source I've read says I should do the LBRP every day. but why the lbrp? Why not some other banishing ritual. Just wondering

Quite right, i was far too speculative and frankly i got out of bed the wrong side that day.

It still seems like a bit of overkill getting powerful spirits to clean up a bit of energy, just too much existentialism for my liking.

What sort of practical results do you know of that eastern traditions and "shaman types" have accomplished?

Creating electricity, Making fire, shape-changing stuff like that, of course now i think about it western occultists have done all that as-well, it just seemed like a lot less manage too.

Its perhaps more that western society has a push for material progress over spiritual interests and matters which at times threaten to conflict with that idea of material progress, hence its repression (not held as being 'scientifically valid' even though it can be proved), in other countries there are well established cultures of enlightenment, the asians are quite used to the idea of spiritual pursuit and will encourage it, same with others. Here in the west, as mentioned, if you're not seeking materialistic success you're looked at as being, "off". Can imagine a magician in hyde park, london, making fireballs .lol. People would see it as entertainment before being freaked out by it, in india they'd know that he's demonstrating his power over the element and likely wouldn't find it so impressive, that in comparison to actual gurus and yogis whos humility and feats they'd be well acquainted with.

In here, as it is on the internet you have people practicing for various reasons attempting various goals. Talking through different perspectives makes for a vast difference of opinion and misunderstandings at times. Some people practice for power, some for fun while others are more priestly in their approach. Each then on different paths or interpretations. Banishing isn't simply, 'banishing' but an exercise in self control and eventual dominance over the elements or archetypes as embodied within ones self, impregnating (or imprinting, which ever suits .lol.) the mind with a means of control that can then be utilized to cause and effect at will.
