People seem to be wanting to do Magick for EVERY other reason than for Spiritual growth. Why is that? It's like going into a gold mine just to look for copper. (bad analogy, I know)
>>42566543Magik is gey i practice screaming at wildlife and guilt tripping the universe and using peer pressure on death.
>>42566552That sounds based. Almost like Howling.
>>42566543Because the current governing paradigm is rooted in materialism.Even some of the people who claim to have "outgrown" materialism and take the metaphysical seriously still believe the spiritual is merely affirming the material. The average person is lazy and entitled, so if you tell them "yeah you can get your material desires fulfilled" they will flock to whatever promises that.But honestly? I think that's a good thing. The occult gatekeeps itself. Let the materialist rabble rot, let the dabbler realize he's wrong on his own.
>>42566543PRDSmany such cases.
>>42566543(you can make 8 and 7 the hands)My left hand is a bricklayer, my right hand is a plow face.
>>42566543>Spiritual capital SPure Cringe
>>42567852>The occult gatekeeps itself.Yeah, basically. In Ye Olden Days it was necessary to trick people into learning magic because from a normal human's perspective it makes no sense to become a magician. A lot of mentally ill people are drawn to the occult, just take a look at this board, but contrary to popular belief they don't tend to make great occultists. With the rise of the internet and the easy dissemination of information, there's no need to be anybody's personal guru. It's just like you said, the wheat separates from the chaff on it's own.
>>42566543Did it ever occur to youthat if any of these niggas couldget laidget a jobmake money somehowhave funbe happyescape suffering somehowetc etcthat if any one of those things came true for anyone on this boardthat might in fact BE some fucking spiritual growth?if not just for them, then at the very least, for ALL OF USmaybe look INWARD next timebefore you post threads trying to externalize the blame and make yourself the fucking victim so you can complain and look wise and virtuousfucking coward
>>42568104>...that transcending of the laws of intellect which is madness in the ordinary man, genius in the Overman who hath arrived to strike off more fetters from our understanding.
>>42567852The material affirms the spiritual
>>42568301This, you can't build the spirit if you neglect the body.Op made the mistake in thinking that spirit and physical are somehow separate things.
>>42568756We all know about reincarnation but I've heard some say you can even reincarnate as objects. This might explain how people report dolls and such moving on their own. Harvard et al. Also did studies where they showed blood they took out of a monk began to heal after he meditated. His DNA telomeres did literally heal and DNA even repairs itself. Again, the blood was no longer in the body when this happened
