    The Abramelin Operation and faith

    Oh, I suspect a clairvoyant could be dangerous at any age, but noted. I think I agree with you according to my limited understanding of your experience when you say "select an allowed mind". The only trouble I see with that is that some people perceive themselves to have more allowed minds than...

    The Abramelin Operation and faith

    Exactly. We are not as different as we think. The words are not as important as the power. The nature of the power is what divides darkness and light, evil and good. I think this is a hard lesson. Discernment comes only to those who are of full age for a reason. I'll tease it a little bit. I...

    The Abramelin Operation and faith

    I've got it covered then. This is very encouraging. I'm running a little short on time myself this morning but hope to continue later.

    The Abramelin Operation and faith

    This sort of leads me to another question, and that is can the Operation take place solely within a person's psyche without the physical props. Jung has been mentioned and I think it was he that believed our psyches were populated by arch types. In that scenario, Sophia, Solomon, the damned, and...

    The Abramelin Operation and faith

    Good for you. I find myself somewhat envious of your erudition and experience. I was called to the mysteries through Christianity but now find myself a perennial outsider to all camps. I believe I was shown that this is my calling and that I should therefor be the best outsider I can be, with no...

    The Abramelin Operation and faith

    You must! You owe it to yourself. :) It does contain a sucker punch of sorts, but in the most delightful and non-malignant way you could imagine. I am pretty confident that you would like it. Then maybe we could discuss it further. Well, sometimes I like to entertain the illusion that I am an...

    The Abramelin Operation and faith

    This is an attempt by me to better understand the need for "the abramelin operation", as seen in the movie A Dark Song. I have zero experience of magick and this movie was my introduction to it. Because of the way the movie ended I think a few with Christian backgrounds might find it palatable...

    Faith is the foundation of Christianity

    I am stunned and amazed. Surely you must be mistaken.

    Faith is the foundation of Christianity

    Yes... We need only look at the works which come through our faith to tell the difference (IMO).

    Faith is the foundation of Christianity

    I think the point is that you don't find anything in your faith, you put your faith into something. As James tells us, faith without works is dead; which is to say, put your faith to good use and the works will come. Simplicity itself.

    Think I've figured out this forum thing

    Nice to see that you came back for more, hang in there. I do not understand the words which are coming out of your mouth, but this is why I love intellectuals. The gap is so hopelessly wide that I don't even feel the need to try. Sort of restful actually. :) It's okay, I prefer my...

    What Movies Have You Seen Recently?

    Last night I watched "Nightmare Alley". I would classify it as psychological horror. Very, very intense and brilliantly acted film noir. Not a feel good movie and not for the kids, but this all-star cast just killed it. Directed by Guillermo de Toro. A mysterious man finds work at a carnival...
