    The Abramelin Operation and faith

    I really think that I am out of my league here, perhaps even an intruder to your experience, nevertheless I try to take whatever resonates with me. There is a rithym to this thread which I don't wish to interrupt, but I really feel the need to comment here. Sounds like this bull man will not...

    Does lifelong celibacy reduce or increase life expectancy?

    It's a hot button topic given the horrors that can arise from forced or legislated celibacy (i.e. the priest scandals and so forth).

    The Abramelin Operation and faith

    Absolutely NOT, we don't have to think like that anymore. Most of the limits have already been removed. I will be trying to tether it at times to Job and Genesis and A Dark Song. Due to time constraints I will not be able to keep up with many threads on this list, preferring to focus right here...

    The Abramelin Operation and faith

    The mystery of judgment, yes, I've heard this before. There was a lot of that going around in the book of Job (the Operation's connection to both Genesis and Job have been noted here). In Job there is a battle of spirits taking place behind the scenes and flesh and blood would at times speak of...

    The Abramelin Operation and faith

    You can try if you like? Here in the mansion of the mind we have, at least two flawed people, some demons, a Holy Guardian, one lost one, love, and even sacrifice. If you need it bigger, I can make it a world, or a universe, or all things sensible. Hey now, you can say anything you want and...

    The Abramelin Operation and faith

    I want to talk about MEs a little more. This is really heartbreaking as I find it next to impossible to give up on anyone, no matter how corruptive they have become. One has to wonder where the guardians of these gifted ones were, to allow such a thing to occur. Children should never be used...

    The Abramelin Operation and faith

    Glad you found a place where your particular skillset can be appreciated. I was in group therapy one time, but the members were doing questionable things and the therapist (a psychologist) hated my guts. Long story short, I had to pull the plug. Old books can make you sneeze but what's inside...

    The Abramelin Operation and faith

    Sorry, I misunderstood. Simplicity is often the best coerse however rather than being booked, so to speak. :) Not at all. Sometimes we are like ships in the night, occasionally bumping into one another but never really seeing one another. It's sad really. Neither. It was her love for her...

    Sorry. :( LaVey sounds familiar but I'm afraid I don't know him.

    Heavens no. The last thing in the world I would want here is to force needless artificial and bland structure on a good thing. Just let it develop naturally, it's doing fine. Sometimes things can be ruined when we try to hang onto them too tightly. I understand you are a stickler for rules, and...

    The Abramelin Operation and faith

    Understood, but remember I have no formal training and don't hold out much hope of getting any here. I suppose this is a disadvantage, but it doesn't feel that way. Formal training is fine but it can also have the unwanted side effect of killing all that is wild and free in us. Like the Native...

    The Abramelin Operation and faith

    Thank you very much for your reply. Your words seem to have a calming effect on me which I can't quite explain. I seek peace, and tend to gravitate to those things or people who bring it to me. A peace which passes understanding would best describe it. I like your take on the imaginary, as this...

    The Abramelin Operation and faith

    Thank you for your detailed response. I picked out this part as it seems to resonate with me somehow. I'm sorry I have such a difficult time understanding, but I think this is part of the price of knowing nothing. Sort of like the life of a hermit, one can't fathom the loneliness of such a thing...

    The Abramelin Operation and faith

    Sure, trial and error vs. finished product. In time vs. out of time. Discernment only improves in time. Hmm, I might have to get a second opinion on that. ;) Sometimes things are not as complicated as they seem. That's why I like knowing nothing and don't trust everything my physical senses...

    The Abramelin Operation and faith

    You've given me cause for relief twice in as many days, thank you. Now "astral" is a word that would have many from my old camp asking you where you wanted your new door, but I take it to mean outside the physicality? Many who are not occult believe that we have souls, or spirits, or at least a...

    The Abramelin Operation and faith

    Namaste, I am honored. Freely given. Perhaps it's just a matter of calling and being on slightly different paths. I struggled early on with physical implements. As a young Christian in a small fundamentalist church I had an aversion to what they called "The Lord's Supper" because it seemed...
