Why did you choose to be a magician?

[ezequiel2000]

Hello everyone, how are you?
I'd like to know why you chose to be magicians or practitioners of the occult.
What motivated you to explore this hidden side?
Did you have this curiosity since childhood, or did it arise when you became adults?
Was there a particular event in your life that made you change course?
I'll tell you about myself. When I was a teenager, I didn't believe in God, I didn't believe in any religion, I didn't believe in black magic. I was immersed in video games; my life was different.

Sometimes when I was walking down the street, I would see a box of popcorn, apples, and coins on the ground, and other times I would see decapitated chickens. Obviously, I didn't pay any attention to it since I didn't believe in those things.

Over time, when I gained internet access, I became interested in this topic. Before, I felt the need to know if there was something more to life, that life isn't just about living it, but that we are here for a purpose and that we have to discover what that purpose is. So I started reading books, trying to find some answers.
I believe that the occult connects us with the essence of our true nature.
Tell me why you chose this path.
Sorry if I'm not expressing myself well; I'm using Google Translate.

I was already doing meditation and internal training......ended up finding western magickal systems and found them curious. Alas......the rabbit hole.

[Amor]

I was already meditating when I moved to a sacred site where various planetary energy streams converged. I became involved with planetary and other processes.

Hi Wildwolf, how are you?
How long have you been meditating?
Did you find it hard to concentrate at first?
I meditate too, but I find it hard to concentrate. I have intrusive thoughts, and I try to concentrate for longer periods, but it's difficult.
Have you read the Silva Method of Mind Control?
I count down from 100 to 1 and imagine I'm on a beach in the sun, trying to enjoy it.

But as I said before, I find it hard to visualize the beach.

Thank you so much for replying. Sometimes I like to do a mini-survey, read your opinions, and see how this topic works for different people.

I've been mediating a long time, many years,.....naturally it can be challenging at times.....nowadays I prefer mantra practice. I've heard of Silva method....but don't know anything about it.

I have been meditating for decades. I started with a non-concentrating meditation - Transcendental Meditation. The mantra, if properly chosen and used, moves the resonance of the human between important chakras.

After perhaps 5 years of TM I had interventions during my meditation to teach me techniques for inner work as an experimental science. That led to various inner relationships and functions.

I still use TM as an intro to each meditation.

That's exactly a challenge, Wildwolf!

I'll explain what I understood from the book, "The Silva Method."

The brain operates at different frequencies. These frequencies are divided into beta, alpha, delta, and I think the other one is called gamma, if I remember correctly.

When we're awake, we're in a beta state; when we're between awake and asleep, we're in alpha; and when we enter deep sleep, we're in delta or gamma.

The brain operates at different gigahertz.

For example, I understand that meditation masters in India or Tibet enter alpha or delta states.

José Silva says in his book that the brain functions much better when we're in alpha or delta states.

For example, if you can't remember where you left your car keys and you used this meditation method, you'll be able to remember them much more easily.

What you're saying is interesting.
I understand that mantras are words you pronounce during meditation.
The chakras come from India and are related to parts of the human body, right?
From what I can see, meditation is practiced in this forum.
You're very advanced in this area, and I'm glad to exchange opinions with people who know so much.

[Amor]

>mantras are words you pronounce during meditation.

The TM mantras are not spoken physically. Once taught a mantra you are told never to say it out loud as that damages the inner sounds.

>The chakras come from India and are related to parts of the human body

All humans have chakras. The chakras connect the human format to the cosmic life force.

I once read, if I remember correctly, that damage to a chakra can cause physical or mental discomfort.

I would like to be a master of both meditation and magic, not to teach others since I'm not ready, but it's a very long and complicated path at first. I think it requires a lot of patience and time.
Your knowledge and experience are very valuable to me.
Thank you very much for the information.

In this version of the solar system the key is to:

- love yourself
- forgive yourself
- forgive others
- love others.

Those actions bring the human into alignment with the local cosmos which is based on right relationship.

When the human practices right relationship, the human attracts much help

It's the same message that Jesus Christ and other enlightened people from other religions give.
From what I've read, for human beings to stop reincarnating, they have to practice what you're saying; in this way, they will return to their origin.
The reality we live in is like The Matrix (the movie); our soul is imprisoned in matter. Reincarnation is like a wheel that's always turning, cycles of life and death.
People who harm others are not evolved beings; these people will always be reincarnating.
You can correct me if I'm wrong in what I'm saying.

Nag Hammadi has an interesting spin on the topic. Worth checking out.

Or ....

This may be a training ground so that humans can qualify for their design functionality

You're right, it could also be a training ground, where you would have to overcome obstacles that are difficult to overcome.

The geometric Tree of Life that fits on the human is also a partial mapping of the Entity that uses this galaxy as Its body of incarnation (the galactic Logos).

Thus the galactic Logos can make local delegations of authority to refined, aligned, intentional humans.

This is reflected in the shift in some Christian theologies. No longer do humans need saving, they are training to be co-creators.

Does what you're mentioning have anything to do with the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, the Demiurge, and the Archons, or did I misunderstand?

[Amor]

The Kabbalistic Tree is the same geometric Tree. I prefer not to reference the Tree through a cultural filter.

The Demiurge (planetary Logos) also manifests through a related Tree.

The Archons seem much lesser players - of mixed intent.

[Cerber]

...
What motivated you to explore this hidden side?

Just all the trees and rocks in the backyard. They all kept nagging.

You know a lot about this topic, I'm glad to be able to talk to people who have a lot of knowledge.

Hello Cerber, how are you?
Good morning/good afternoon/good evening wherever you are.
I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you said.

[Amor]

Everything has life force and intelligence. Rocks are particularly interesting. For example quartz has real time instantaneous connection right through this galaxy.

[Cerber]

I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you said.

No worries, nothing overly deep, only that there were no one specific big reason, but a thousand small ones nudging me of the cliff and in to this rabbit hole, ever since the very first day under the blue sky.
