Fear

Fear, is it bad or good? Strange question isn’t it? J

Fear is the main cause of most of our problems. But fear keeps us alive. There’s no right answer to this question.

Paracelsus said, "Everything is poison, there is poison in everything. Only the dose makes a thing not a poison." That’s right for fear – it may kill you in wrong dose. It rules you and misleads. But in the right dose it saves your life. What is dose in this case.

This is simple. Fear is an instinct and fear is an emotion, in different cases it appears different ways. And the right dose enables you to use your instincts and to control emotions. Sometimes it seems to be impossible but the trick is not that hard – you should look at your fears from outside. This ability can be trained.

Well this is not very simple and not fast, it comes after some practice. Practice of searching the ways to overcome fears.

Find a place where you can sit alone and work. Sit, close your eyes. Recall one of your fears. Look at it. Hear it, smell it, live in it. Your fear must become real. Now when you’re in fear say, “exit fear” and see how it changes. (If you read this it will work)

This technique has triple action: it teaches to face the fear, it teaches to overcome the fear, and it teaches to look at fears from outside.

Erasing fears instead of overcoming them is possible too but it’s less effective in long term effect – fears come and go so if you can’t overcome fears they just come back.

Elements 2

I showed already how same idea can be represented differently through different elements. But elements are “relevant” not only for ideas and amulets but for people as well. Everyone of us has or belongs to some element and there is apprehension depending on elements so sometimes we name different things by the same word. I’ll give an example.

Luck. Good luck. It’s a chain of events correlated by our attitude or estimate. But how it works for different people, how it happens? There’re things can happen to some of us that can never happen to another. There’re many factors affecting it but the element is the most significant one in this case.

So what is luck for different elements.

Fire. You know what you need, you know when you need it why and how. Your luck is to be in the right place in the right time and to do the right thing. Here it is:



















Air. You raise your hand to scratch your had and you catch the star. Just like that. You don’t know when why and how, you don’t even know what you need. But when you catch your star you know this is yours – you don’t need to think or recognize it, you just know that sometimes you need to scratch your head or to do something else, doesn’t matter what :)






















Water. You maybe know what you need or want, but you never know what it will be when you get it. Your luck is what you find on the sea-shore after the storm. You don’t know what it is, but you should be the first one who comes there after the storm.




















Earth. Your luck is a bonus. You can put some money aside for 20 years, buy the great house with a garden and find there a buried treasure while planting a new tree.






















None of these will affect you if it’s not your element. You can put them together for overkill, but it would be much better to make the personal amulet regarding your.

Notice the stones I used – it’s coral, jade, turquoise, and amethyst. If you make the personal amulet your choice should be different – it should represent the personal quality of the man. These stones represent elements when using them to implement concept and nothing more in this case.

Creating an event (P.S. Tarot)

Just one example for the previous post.

Sometimes we need something to happen. If it’s something usual enough it can be done easily through Arcanum X - Fortune.

Fortune is a process of creating ways in this world. So if you want something to happen you should find the way to where and when it happens. Arcanum X can do this for you.

Now take piece of paper. Concentrate on what you need. But remember, it shouldn’t be something abstract, it’s your life, it’s how this world and you in it will be created some place and some moment. Now while concentrating on your event, write what it should be. Fold it with the text inside. On the upper clean side of the paper draw this symbol (blue color is preferred):

This is rune representing the Arcanum X. Now put the paper in your pocket or somewhere else close enough to your body and keep it with you until you get your result.

Tarot

Tarot. When you afraid of the future and have some extra cash you go to Tarot reader and solve both problems at one approach. Wise design.

Tarot is not a divination system. Well, it can be used for divination just like anything else, but it’s much like using the car as an ashtray instead of driving it. Your reader can give you a very good advice about your life but why not to rule your own life instead of getting advices? Tarot is a good tool to do this.

So what is tarot? It’s a graphical representation of our mind. Yes it’s much more, but I’m talking about people. Anyway, whatever we see, think, understand…  we do it from the human viewpoint, so there’s no need to step outside the human mind.

Tarot deck is made of two sets of cards: Major Arcana and Minor Arcana and they’re essentially different from each other.

Minor Arcana represent four elements by level of their manifestation or appearance.

Major Arcana are not that easy to explain. Anything we know, just any concept or apprehension whenever we look at it, it’s just a subject of comparison. What I mean if you try to describe or understand something, you use other objects, concepts and the rest of the things you can use to built associative links. There’s one rule in this process – generalization. Understanding is built upon abstraction, our mind never uses examples in understanding unless it’s needed to build some more global scheme. So any single concept or idea in our heads is a product of something more global or abstractive. In turn this global and abstractive idea is a product of something else. Now if you go ahead through all the levels of abstraction you get 22 topmost super abstract concepts – Major Arcana.

This way anything in this world can be described as appearance of this Major Arcana or another. But we live in physical world and clear conceptions are not enough here. And this is where Minor Arcana should be used to describe the physical appearance of whatever you want.

Now about how it works. Process of the world creation has never ended. It happens right now and right here. This world, it doesn’t exist but instead it happens. If you want something to happen you need description. Once you get it you can apply it on the process of the word creation. Just one more thing to add here: this world is a world of actions, it means there’re no objects in this world but the rendering of different actions into something we perceive as objects. So if you apply your description to something, try to reach the point where it happens but not where you render it.

Techniques? There’re lot of. From meditation to spells, from drawing sigils to using tarot cards as amulets. Just find the one most effective for you.

Once upon a time

Our memory has horizon. We remember what happened yesterday, we remember most of the things happened twenty years ago, we know vary many facts from the previous century and even more. But we hardly know the facts from the more remote past: we reinvent discoveries of Leonardo, the dome of Santa Maria del Fiore built by Brunelleschi in 1436 was a great mystery for a long time. And we know nothing about our past that was 5000 – 6000 years ago. There’re many megaliths older than this, some of them built using technologies unavailable for us, but we know nothing about its’ origins.

Things are much worse when we talk about magic. Adepts of almost any new religion do their best in exterminating any evidence of any previous spiritual practice they can find.

Fortunately we live many lives and every previous life becomes part of unconsciousness in following ones. Sometimes it’s possible to find something interesting there. As usual there’re bad news J - the most  noticeable traces are left by black magic. Bu sometimes there’re “good news” too.

One of the most interesting examples of the white magic I saw was a Big Water Magic cult. It was 4500 – 5000 years ago I think. I saw it twice, in two people I mean. One day it just disappeared from this world. I don’t know why. What’s interesting about it is that it returned. It returned some 100 years ago in very different form, it doesn’t use 10% of its power today and it’s very limited in action. But I think the full system can be restored. Today it’s called Reiki J

Elements

Charging amulets… If you google for it you find plenty of ways to do it. Most of them do not work. There are exceptions from this rule like this one for instance but they are rare. The reason is simple, if you want to do something you should know what it looks like or find somebody or something who or what will do it for you. Reiki is definitely good choice. Some kind of sanctuary can be good too if you know what to do there and you have access to this place.

But if you build upon yourself you must be able to understand the technical part of what you do. And this is far beyond just figuring some blurred idea of what the result should be.

Anything done in this world is represented through its elements. This way any amulet is an intention defined from elements’ viewpoint. Different ideas have different representations in different elements up to inability of representation. I’ll try to show it.

I take some idea that can be represented in any element – this is crucial for this example.

And I represent is as time – water.

And variance – air.

And manifestation – fire.

And structure – earth.

All these can be used together and it would be good idea in this case to put them all together. But there is much better idea.

This world is alive. All of its entirely and every single part of it. These glass balls I play with are not exceptions. And when I say alive I mean conscious. There is full theory beyond this but I don’t want to theorize J The point is every object in this world has some kind of self-definition that can be changed to redefine the object. And if you do it the result you get goes far beyond simple putting elements together. So fifth element – consciousness – ether plus the four previous.

Differences in these examples are noticeable, so if you can’t see it just don’t waste your time for amulets.

To be continued J

Frame your attitude

History of the mankind is the history of wars. We conflict. We do it ever. It’s what we are. It’s in our genes. It’s defined by evolution. Those who didn’t conflict didn’t survive.
I can’t tell whether it’s good or bad. It’s just the fact. But there is the bad thing about this fact. The bad thing is that we conflict when we shouldn’t or don’t need to. Why do we conflict? Because of our logic. Binary logic creates negations which cause to negative thoughts and actions come up to it.
But there is one world. One world that we divide with our negations. And then we conflict. So the way to overcome the conflict, one of the ways, is to rebuild the unity.
If you want to repair your attitude towards someone imagine him in this frame and then touch him there. And look what happens :)

But remember three things:
1. It’s unidirectional action – if you change your attitude towards someone it doesn’t mean that he or she does the same.
2. Nothing in this world is 100% efficient. Nor this technique is – if your attitude has external sources it will not change significantly or will not change for a long time.

Divination

Just by looking through your eyes He could see the future penetrating Right in through your mind See the truth and see your lies But for all his power couldn't foresee his own demise

Humans have been practicing divination for thousands of years. It’s one of the eldest habits we have. And one of the most ambiguous.

Technically it’s a kind of sympathetic magic and just as any other kind of this magic its results depend on accuracy of the “representation” of whatever’s used for divination and on abilities of the one who predicts.
So what divination is really good for is developing accuracy. Is it bad for something?

First and foremost prediction should be understood, otherwise it doesn’t work. There’s a well known story about Oedipus who solved the riddle of the Sphinx but failed to realize this riddle is prophesy.
What could happen had he realized it? Oedipus complex would never exist :) What else?

Sphinx was a symbol of abundance, power, wisdom, mysteries, riddles, truth, unity, and secrets for Egyptians but Greeks believed that sphinx caused insanity and diseases. Looks like answer. Knowledge can harm when it changes the worldview.

Sphinx could foresee the future and she didn’t use any kind of magic to do that. Let’s get back to divination which is less dramatic. The challenge of understanding totally falls upon the fortuneteller. The first problem here is “The medium is the message”. The first but not the only.

What is predicted is a chain of events even though it usually looks like one simple result. And this is the second problem – people use to think about prediction like showing some situation in future that must happen but not the possible way for the current situation to develop.

Now how it works. Just like we live event by event when event is a minimal noticeable action. So events are unique for different people but it’s not a point in this story. The point is how to link events in chain. Any event can develop in two ways: Yin and Yang. Thus future is multivariant and there’re as many as n+1 variants for the next n events (any two adjacent events have one common next step event) but they all have different probabilities. Probability of this event or another depends on the way of personal development and on karma. Usually there’re several chains of events available in any situation. Divination shows only one (the most relevant for the fortuneteller) and when you think about this chain or result and nothing else you make it come real. And this is the worst thing about divination.

But sometimes there’re situations when we need answers. We all live within Genius of Earth which is at least 95% inertial system and anything happens to us is predefined some way (well, otherwise no prediction could be possible). This predefinition can be accessed through Tarot. There’re many ways to do it. I’ll describe one enabling getting more than one answer and it’s more prophecy than divination technique.

Any system of principles can be represented in a form of a graphical scheme. This scheme in turn enables deriving set of symbols from it. Symbols are called runes. The Elder Futhark is a great example of such symbols. Tarot can be represented the same way.

If you need info Arcanum XVIII is the most right place to get it. The rune of the Arcanum XVIII looks like this.

Now take a small piece of paper and write the subject of what you want to know. Not the question but subject. For example, “Next Vice-President of the Neverland”. Fold it with the text inside. On the upper clean side of the paper draw the rune (blue color is preferred in this case). If you want to get one fast result, just close your eyes, put your left hand on the paper (folded and with the rune upwards) and watch the result. If you want the rest of the answers put the paper in your pocket (putting the rune towards or outwards you can make sense but it changes from one man to another), answers will come.

Well, you must be somewhat sensitive to use this.
