Is a lovely place that I can visit at will, and hide out in if my tiny apartment is getting me down, and it provides a easy access point to the astral at large. I know the golden dawn has a lot of meditations for use in one, and I personally find meditation easier there. Aside from that, I have no idea what I can use it for. So for anyone who has an astral temple, or anyone with path working experience, what can you do in an astral temple? -------------------- Cosmic consciousness is devoid of diversity; yet the universe of diversity exists in notion.... We contemplate that reality in which everything exists, to which everything belongs, from which everything has emerged, which is the cause of everything and which is everything.... The light of [this] self-knowledge alone illumines all experiences. It shines by its own light. This inner light appears to be outside and to illumine external objects. -Sage Vasishtha

Or it is a replica of a physical space. Or is there a way to sort of construct a astral temple? You can find ones that are already around too. The one I have was constructed but then I have also stumbled on to temples other people built. In fact I think Sacred magick once had a astral temple for the members. It used a something like a sigil of a set pyramid. In any case once you have a sigil you can open a portal to the corresponding temple. Most of the time that is not pleasant. Unless it is made for a group pr intended to be public a temple is a hard place to visit. QUOTE(monkman418 @ Sep 3 2010, 11:54 PM) ...there are also specialized rituals you can use to "create" an astral temple. Oh? Could you direct me to some sources. I never had any directions more elaborate than "go think up a temple." -------------------- Cosmic consciousness is devoid of diversity; yet the universe of diversity exists in notion....

Or are the old threads with the sigil still around? We should totally all arrange to visit it at the same time and have a party!

Some people use Liber Pyramidos to this end. Others use a modified version of the Golden Dawn Neophyte ritual, which you can find in the G.D. "Z" documents. A great way mentioned on the SM thread by Kinjo: http://www.sacred-magick.org/index.php?showtopic=1865&hl= Other ways: http://www.occultcorpus.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6832 http://themagickalmatrix.com/lofiversion/i....php?t5241.html http://www.lulu.com/items/volume_66/785200...rint/sstral.pdf I especially like this last one, baptizing the stones for the different elements, though you may want to change the consecrating prayers from reading "Father Satan" to "Lord Adonai" or something...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Oh this forum has been around a while, and you can find most anything here. But I'll do the archive searching. Here is the opening topic, the sigi l, and the thread for listing you results. Looks like few people ever went to it though, and only one or two posts about what people did there. Not even a group meeting. -------------------- Cosmic consciousness is devoid of diversity; yet the universe of diversity exists in notion....
