Four Leaf Clover: Shakti

There were three things that came together to make me think of the following theory. The first was listening to the lyrics of "Head Over Heels" by Tears for Fears. The second was this article: https://rsarchive.org/Lectures/EastWest/EasWes_index.html The third was a video on Youtube, entitled: The Psychology of numbers. I had posted this theory in gnostic but it got locked because I had forgotten their rule about "prophesying." (This is a theory, not a conspiracy theory or a prophesy).

The idea of a non-integrated fourth principle that leads back to one: I think this is a mysterious feminine energy of the Cosmos which Hindus call "Shakti." The Monad may not have the same type of "oneness" that humans are predisposed to thinking of in their normal imaginations. I think it has One principle that becomes aware through four. Many religions have a threefold or a onefold concept of the Origin, but maybe it ought to be understood as incomplete, needing a fourth piece brought about through our experience. Fundamentally, all beings in all planes are working towards the Fourth Principle, but in the more ignorant material planes, what was once a thrilling search party has become a masochistic and exploitative game.

In Atlantis, the Shakti (cosmic mother nature) was used to power technology. Nowadays, the knowledge is incomplete so technology is enslaving Shakti instead of partnering with her. This is the outline of what I've been thinking and the philosophies that have stood out to me so far are Basilideanism, Tantric Buddhism, Theosophy, Manichaeism, and Avataric Evolutionism (with its roots in Hinduism, animism, shamanism, and empirical science). I wonder about a Shakti principle defeating the dissonant twoness of Abraxas.

Greetings from Jaena

Greetings, North American occult practitioner of over two decades here, curious about this space. I follow a self built eclectic system, focused on both practical and spiritual fulfillment. My ambitions are to pioneer my own system, achieve apotheosis, and transcend the great cycle.

Looking for magical lore books

I am writing a low fantasy novel set in our real world and I am looking for any books or sources that may help with fleshing out the magical systems. Ancient texts, grimoires, collections of myths,(translated of course) as I do not want to follow the current trend of just slapping pseudo latin on D&D spells and call it done. The end goal is to have a my MC who is a Lich train up an adventuring party using "real" magic sourced from documents that I can reference in the work. Anything to do with necromancy, the cult and Occult, religious rituals, folk magic, herbalism, crystals, alchemy and anything else like that would be very helpful.

Spiritual Dilemma

I was born many times over, many that I followed Islam and Zoroastrianism most devotedly.

I’m still intensely drawn to the practices of both, but my spiritual journey took a starkly different path by itself.

Islam & Zoroastrianism still has a special place in this life, but I cannot reconcile certain differences. I completely rejected and criticised doctrines and figures of Islam while Zoroastrian establishments & canons have always evoked a lukewarm feeling from me, even though I believe in the divinities as prescribed in both religions to some extent. I felt weird.

It didn’t felt okay to go on a path without a community to fully confide it. Everything was eclectic and it is pretty isolating at times, even though it sort of liberated me materially.

Sometimes, I feel more at home at an entire different place. The human world and its daily struggles remain tedious, like chores—I’m always working through it, but alas I don’t know how to reconcile my spiritual connection with these religions and others along with the rejection of its doctrines/theology/proselytisers altogether.

I am creating a Metaphysical, Esoteric, Alchemical, Occult etc. AI Image generating platform.

Good day everyone,

I would kindly like to petition everyone to contribute to a project I am working on which will be released to all contributors upon completion.

The idea is that we all contribute esoteric, occult, metaphysical, sacred geometry etc. art and drawings in a combined effort to train an AI image generation model. This would be a first of its kind as far as I know.

I wholeheartedly believe that if we can put enough images into the model it could be used for gnostic studies in what it generates as it would learn from commonalities across the spectrum of metaphysical knowledge.

Please note this is not some ChatGPT-4 / Midjourney AI locked away behind closed doors. It will be released as a LoRa model which can be imported into a vast number of image generating platforms such as stable diffusion.

I have created a discord for us to post the works on: https://discord.gg/uMnPqQEA

I trust you find the above in order.

All the best, Armand.

Cosmic Sting Operation: Probably we'll be screwed if we try to escape the cycle (or already are).

We can reasonably assume that whoever powerful being or beings created this realm, is surely capable of preventing escape of their helpless victims.

Now backtrack all the related ideas and means of escaping discussed in this realm: Teachings of the ancients and NDE, trips by psychadelics and past life regressions.

There's no sound reason to assume the authority of this realm is unable to have control over such experiences. In fact human can implant false memories in lower animals like mice.

Then what do all that prescribed methods of emancipation indicate? The plausibility that this is all a part of greater psyops, more precisely sting operation.

If any divergent wants to escape from the prison, he is supposed to be monitored and arrested in the very moment he attempts to break free. And usually more severe measures are decided for him.

___

Personally I'm skeptical about the reincarnation hypothesis. I'm curious how those who are serious about it are going to deal with the Cosmic Sting Operation Hypothesis. I'll write about it in more details when I'll be free.

Feast of the abyss beast (Gnostic poem that takes inspiration from Dante's description of Satan in Dante's Divine Comedy)

I gazed into the abyss where daylight has not reached

And where the sun rose not

On my right was Eleleth, who shined as the gold sun

On my left was blest Blake

Both were my guides in this sea without waves or glimmer

To see the six eyed beast

When my eyes saw through the dense fog which covers the world

I saw the six eared beast

I saw the aberration of what small light was there

Which wisdom’s womb banished

And the breath of wisdom had cast down and shackled up

Even with his three heads

In the centre was the head of a flaming lion

With thirty silver teeth

To the left was the head of a disfigured serpent

With rusted iron scales

Finally, to the right was the head of an old man

With an ash grey, long beard

The king of nothing was held aloft by eagle wings

Yaldabaoth was his crown

The limbless reptile was held aloft by vulture wings

Saklas was the name that slithered

The elderly man was held aloft by dragon wings

Samuel was his name

Treacherous Judas on the lion’s carnassial

With bowels gushing out

A pharaoh impaled by the serpent’s venomous fang

With thick dark blood flowing

Cain between the man’s teeth, all chewed up in agony

With his blood crying forth

The beast of three heads cried tears of blood as well

From his twinkling eyes of flame

If there is a star in Tartarus’s sky

Christ will shine on the three men

If the womb of Tartarus will birth the sun

Daylight will shine on the beast

Ritual

ritual of the Wendigo

Tonight I performed a blood magic ritual to open myself up to the spirit of the Wendigo that it would embrace me and feed on me and I will feed on it

Has anyone else done this or something like this?

Take Me

"You thought you were calling something beautiful - a goddess with sex-tossed hair and skin that glowed like the moon.

But you called in La Loba. You called in Baba Yaga. You called in Inanna. You called in Hecate. You called in Pele You called in Kali Ma. You called in the Crone.

You called the Dark Goddess to you. She is the One that walks with sword and flame. Her face and hands are stained with blood and dirt. The earth shakes when she moves. The ocean swells.

You thought she would set you free. You thought she would give you power. You thought she would help you find something of yourself you lost.

Perhaps you did not know that first she would turn you to ash. First, she would have to destroy everything that you are.

And when she arrives, most who called her forth will run away in fear. They will take back their prayers and wish they had never seen her face.

Only a few will stop, turn towards her, and in that secret place of their heart, whisper,

'Take me.'"

Infinity, Isis, and Number Symbolism

"Isis' figure is infinity or the number 8, which was often drawn as the double axe-head figure found in Knossos or Cnossos, a name derived itself from the Greek root word gno, which also renders gnome, gnomen (judgement) and gnosis or wisdom, from whence derives (self) kno-wledge."

"Osiris' One or I represented not simply the phallus, but both the tongue and the spinal column, and the eight thus represented Isis' womb and vagina. Under the principle that a king isn't a king without a queen, Isis and Osiris are shown together as the figure 18, or 666, the mark of the beast, or the Knossos Axe Head: 8, where the I is horizontal." - de Vere, The Dragon Legacy

The creation of the gods

"The ancient gods and goddesses were flesh and blood beings and the word "god" had altogether different connotations than those that it has now. In those ancient times the "gods", essentially the priest-kinds and priestess-queens of the people, were responsible for a variety of functions, not least that of being the shepherds and teachers of their client tribes. In this capacity the "gods" performed plays or rituals in which they were expected to be the incarnate representatives of the forces they depicted in the rites they enacted for the edification or blessing of the people.

The passage of time and the absence of a standard of oral teaching ensured that right up to the last millennium the Druids still didn't worship "gods". Because of this, many other races came to believe that the priest-kings and priestess queens who incarnated the universal forces were in fact those forces themselves.

The net result of this process of forgetfulness was that the impersonal forces of the Cosmos and the elemental animistic, pantheistic forces of client tribes took on the everyday characteristics of the priest-kinds and priestess-queens. They in turn became deified and secondarily associated with lower, animistic elementals because they had become identified with the forces they represented in a ritual context." - The Dragon Legacy, de Vere

The Void as Medicine

Others may find the Void to be a source of fear or terror, yet we find comfort in its cosmic embrace.

We find solace and rest within its expansive and embracing Silence and touch that which gave us life, our vast and benevolent Mother. Our breath becomes hers; we breathe as One. As we merge into her, we hear the silent music of galaxies being born, growing, entwining. It flows through our veins and infuses us with the secrets of Life.

Carriers of the dark and hidden flame, we are the antidote to the false light of this world. We alchemize that which others consider poison - that which is ancient, taboo, obscure - into medicine.

Unafraid of death, we cross the veil and dance gracefully into the beyond.

Planetary Tantra

"Imagination is the dreaming power of Gaia but does not appear to be so until it actually aligns you to her. Alignment comes through knowing and loving her story, the myth of her life including her self-designated identity."

"Bonding with Gaia relies on desire and imagination, faculties the earth goddess implants in human creatures as a divine birthright. Turn those faculties toward Gaia, the source, and you bond with her at the source. Desire and imagination as you experience them right now are direct, immanent extensions of the dreaming power of the planetary mother animal, not faculties confined to you alone. They are two-way energetic tendrils of her life-field vibrating in the human psyche and body."

"The synergy of love and the supernatural generates power of unimaginable intensity and scope: power to play, not control, to dissolve, not dominate, to enhance and enchant, not seduce, to teach and inspire, not deceive, to direct, not manipulate. One of the open secrets of Planetary Tantra is this: such power becomes available only to those who no longer care about having it."

"Collaboration with the Divine Feminine is a real, testable fantasy, not an escape fantasy. The test is pure play and innovation with minimal parameters. Enlightenment comes from discovering your own creative-visionary potential, owning the birthright of divine imagination—yes, but doing so as it connects to the planet, not as it stands alone."

"Night Feeding" by Muriel Rukeyser

Deeper than sleep but not so deep as death
I lay there dreaming and my magic head
remembered and forgot. On first cry I
remembered and forgot and did believe.
I knew love and I knew evil:
woke to the burning song and the tree burning blind,
despair of our days and the calm milk-giver who
knows sleep, knows growth, the sex of fire and grass,
renewal of all waters and the time of the stars
and the black snake with gold bones.

Black sleeps, gold burns; on second cry I woke
fully and gave to feed and fed on feeding.
Gold seed, green pain, my wizards in the earth
walked through the house, black in the morning dark.
Shadows grew in my veins, my bright belief,
my head of dreams deeper than night and sleep.
Voices of all black animals crying to drink,
cries of all birth arise, simple as we,
found in the leaves, in clouds and dark, in dream,
deep as this hour, ready again to sleep.

On being a spiritual warrior

"The spiritual warrior hides from nothing. We jump into the fire, we dive into the ocean. We become the sea." ~ Charlotte Sophia Kasl

"Intent is what sends a shaman through a wall, through space, to infinity." ~ Carlos Castaneda

"Personal history must be constantly renewed by telling parents, relatives, and friends everything one does. On the other hand, for the warrior who has no personal history, no explanations are needed; nobody is angry or disillusioned with his acts. And above all, no one pins him down with their thoughts and their expectations.” ~ Carlos Castaneda

Beauty and Flight

Some relevant quotes by Nietzsche:

The higher we soar the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly.

There are no beautiful surfaces without a terrible depth.

We have art in order not to die of the truth.

Invisible threads are the strongest ties.

There is not enough love and goodness in the world to permit giving any of it away to imaginary beings.

He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying.

The voice of beauty speaks softly; it creeps only into the most fully awakened souls.

The Kali Yuga

"The analysis of the last age, the 'dark age' or Kali Yuga, brings to light two essential features. The first is that mankind living in this age is strictly connected to the body and cannot prescind from it; therefore, the only way open is not that of pure detachment (as in early Buddhism and in the many varieties of yoga) but rather that of knowledge, awakening, and mastery over secret energies trapped in the body. The second characteristic is that of the dissolution typical of this age. During the Kali Yuga, the bull of dharma stands on only one foot (it lost the other three during the previous three ages). This means that the traditional law (dharma) is wavering, is reduced to a shadow of its former self, and seems to be almost succumbing. During Kali Yuga, however, the goddess Kali, who was asleep in the previous ages, is now fully awake. . . . let us say that this symbolism implies that during the last age elementary, infernal, and even abyssal forces are untrammeled." - Julius Evola, The Yoga of Power
