(AI was partly used in this post. It has been very accurate and useful in this regard.)
It would be nice to get a break from all the drama that comes with geopolitics, Ets, intervention, the Event, and (fill in the blank in this realm of focus), so I figured, why not gain a really solid knowledge base of metaphysics? The most overlooked knowledge came from occultists from the 1900s. Modern-day newagers and occultists discuss pieces of knowledge from this time period. For example:
"Guy Ballard (Godfre Ray King) – His early 1930s "I AM spiritual movement" is the first system to explicitly name the Violet Flame, Emerald Ray, and White Flame (White Fire of An). These spiritual tools were later popularized by Mark L. Prophet and Elizabeth Clare Prophet in the 1950s to 1970s.
Emeralds were suggested in Guy Ballard’s writings and in later teachings (Edna Ballard, Mark L. Prophet, Elizabeth Clare Prophet) to bring the mind and heart's focus on the Emerald Ray, which was said to act as a conductor of vibration and to serve as a symbolic amplifier of the ray’s qualities. Their idea was by holding, meditating on, or wearing an emerald, one can attune more easily to the Emerald Ray, just as violet crystals or amethyst are used for the Violet Flame." (This isn't stated to invalidate Cobra. It's just important that people know the history. And, regardless of how one regards Cobra and/or the Light Forces, these spiritual tools are very useful and powerful in their own right.)
Here are some (but certainly not all) major contributors from the 1900s for strongly increasing psychological and metaphysical knowledge and power:
Helena P. Blavatsky (1831–1891)
Set the cosmological template (planes, cycles, root races, occult history). Covers: Theosophy, Eastern-Western synthesis, esoteric historiography. Read: "Isis Unveiled, The Secret Doctrine"
Aleister Crowley (Controversial but still had major contributions, 1875–1947)
Operationalized magic as experiment and will-training. Covers: Ritual, yoga, sex magick, symbolic systems. Book example: "Magick in Theory and Practice"
Dion Fortune (1890–1946)
Clean psychological reframing of magical practice. Covers: Group mind, psychic hygiene, inner mechanics. Book example: "The Mystical Qabalah."
Israel Regardie (1907–1985)
Stripped ceremonial magic of superstition; made it psychologically legible. Covers: Golden Dawn praxis, psychotherapy overlap. Book example: "The Golden Dawn."
Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925)
Developmental model of consciousness and cognition. Covers: Spiritual science, epistemology, perception training. Book example: "Knowledge of the Higher Worlds."
G.I. Gurdjieff (1866–1949)
Introduced attention, self-remembering, and mechanical psychology. Covers: Consciousness states, inner friction, intentional suffering. Book example: "Beelzebub’s Tales to His Grandson" (slow, but foundational)
P.D. Ouspensky (1878–1947)
Made Gurdjieff usable and systematic. Covers: Structure of attention, levels of being. Book example: "In Search of the Miraculous"
Manly P. Hall (1901–1990)
Taught symbolic literacy at scale. Covers: Myth, alchemy, initiation symbolism. Book example: "The Secret Teachings of All Ages"
Franz Bardon (1909–1958)
Most methodical psycho-physical training system ever published. Covers: Concentration, elemental balance, will control. Book example: "Initiation Into Hermetics"
René Guénon (1886–1951)
Metaphysical rigor; exposes modern spiritual dilution. Covers: Tradition, metaphysics, initiation theory. Book example: "The Crisis of the Modern World"
Arthur Avalon (aka John Woodroffe, 1865–1936)
Legitimate transmission of Tantra and Kundalini concepts. Covers: Subtle anatomy, Shakti theory, chakras. Book example: "The Serpent Power"
Carl Jung (1875–1961)
Gave the psychological language occultism now depends on. Covers: Archetypes, alchemy as individuation, synchronicity. Book example: "Psychology and Alchemy"
Max Heindel (1865–1919)
Rosicrucian cosmology with karmic mechanics. Book example: "The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception"
William Walker Atkinson (1862–1932)
Neo-Theosophy and New Thought; color, vibration, and mental influence concepts; precursor to modern energy work. Book example: "The Astral Plane"
What this list gives you
If you seriously read these authors, you will understand:
– The many different planes and subplanes
– Where chakras, planes, and archetypes actually came from
– Why energy work is largely attention control
– How ritual affects identity and perception
– Why most modern occult discourse is derivative
– How inner transformation was meant to work
(Note: It's interesting that Arthur Avalon had much information on Kundalini.)
Those who may be uncomfortable with this knowledge from believing it to be infiltrated by the dark forces could simply filter out what they disagree with (if anyone decides to really get into this of course). Many aspects may have changed with developments over the last few years, but still, much of the psychological and metaphysical structures these authors wrote about remains the same. (I haven't read most of their works myself, but am definitely inspired to do so.)
Many of the books from these authors can be found online for free if one knows where to look.
ReplyDeleteI thought it worth mentioning since the 72 of Solomon are ALL THE RAGE these days among occultists and occult discourse:
ReplyDeleteWhile not long ago I was associating the Goetia with the Dark Forces/Archons, but after further research it's very unclear. Maybe they aren't all the "evil spirits" they're labelled to be.
Nonetheless, there's no telling. The true origin and nature of these entities is very ambiguous and uncertain aside from that they're extremely old (likely having evolved during prior cosmic cycles), knowledgeable, and have astrological correspondences (hence their "titles" i.e. "King _____" = Solar/Sun aspect entity).
Not just r/occult, but there's a dedicated subreddit for them called demonolatry practices. Most swear up and down that their favorite Goetia entity is their best friend and permanently changed their lives for the better, nonetheless I'm aware of a few other occultists who say it's all usually a "long game" plot to corrupt the practitioner, even gradually or subtlety.
All over reddit, occult subreddits worship these beings or have incredibly personal, even intimate, relationships with these spirits. And a couple of them do appear to be extremely kind and wise. Nonetheless, it's definitely possible for a Dark Forces-aligned or Archonic entity to appear benevolent, which can make them all the more dangerous.
I figure it's best to leave them alone. They do not appear to bother those who don't bother them. Who knows what exactly they are or what role they play regarding humanity, if any? It's possible most generally ignore humanity altogether and only approach those who summon and/or are of interest to them.
The GOODS occultist blog you had spoken of a lot in older posts firmly believed that the Goetia had nothing to do with the Dark Forces, and were willing to side with humans against their oppressors in some instances. They said they're spirits closely related to the Air element as Djinn are to Fire.
They additionally said that those 72 spirits are primarily "Moon/lunar" and "Pluto" which is why they may have gained their demonic reputation, as pluto energy can be terrifying, is generally VERY familiar with darkness and trauma (and shaped by them, even if to not become fully dark) and has absolutely no issue being revengeful or punishing those who cross them, betray, or disrespect boundaries.
I do recall one Christian/Abrahamic occultist (who believed that they were all bad/negative) say that these entities are not summoned by the practitioner, but rather summon them by inciting interest and fascination. A person will find themselves drawn to a particular spirit within the Goetia, think about them regularly, develop desire to make contact and perhaps eventually reach out in the form of a ritual or their sigil because the spirit implanted the thought/desire in their minds, leading them to think it was their idea to call upon the entity when it was not.
Negative beings, especially high-level ones, can also I believe "cloak" their energies so they might not give off a "bad vibe" oozing anomaly everywhere like your standard bad spirit, but instead "keep it under wraps" to seem neutral or comforting to another in their presence. However, I have read/heard/seen a couple things from practitioners online regarding certain Goetia that were apparently extremely positive.
If any were Archons though, and Archons are said to be removed from the Astral, why are so many occultists still able to summon, worship, interact, and make pacts with them still to this day?
Yeah, I remember when Bear Heart said Andromalius from the Goetia was really helpful. I saw this entity myself in the visionstate. He showed himself as a kind older man with a short beard. I didn't sense any harm from him. I don't get involved with it anymore but many occultists swear by it. It's probably a mixture of benevolent and malevolent entities.
DeleteYou make a key point regarding occultists still being able to summon and work with dark entities, as though absolutely nothing has changed. This has been a major source of cognitive dissonance, because I couldn't see any metaphysical proof of the astronomical amount of clearings over the years stated by Cobra. Maybe finally by the end of February there will be irrefutable metaphysical proof.
Definitely though, a lack of proof beyond a certain point understandably raises major doubts. Either way though, spiritual tools such as the White Flame could still be used, if nothing more than for personal benefit.

DeleteI also see various changes, but some information, not only from Cobra, but also from other mediumistic channels, has caused uncertainty. I personally only work with meditation for spiritual elevation, but both in December and on the 1st of this month, reptilians came when I was very elevated. Despite dreaming about the Arcturians once and being received on the ship during the dream, so far I have only been contacted by negative entities on a physical level, in addition to directed energy attacks. Much is said about sustaining the light, but more and more I feel indifference from the federation towards us. Much blame is placed on us, they ask for clarity and coherence, but there is not the slightest respect and coherence for us who are serious workers. How many times has what will be the event changed? How many times have I been directly attacked with flagrant evidence and everything remains the same? Either I hold myself together and remain equanimous in the face of everything, or the fault is mine. They still want to say that the reality I've been living is one I created, even though I've been breathing spiritual prana daily for over 7 years. The question is, where is the grace and ease? And what we receive is silence or something else that you have to do and that changes nothing
I do have some books from Renaissance era occult authors as well that are very interesting. There's a New English translated version of Agrippa's 3 Books of Occult Philosophy available now (original old English translation is very difficult to read) which I got and read part of a few years ago. Plus, some old classical alchemy texts are very nice even if making for some rather dry reading, such as the Golden Chain of Homer and the Turba Philosophorum.
ReplyDeleteIf one's feeling daring there's Picatrix, perhaps most interesting book in my little "occult library" dealing with medieval astrological image magic and it goes into a lot of the theory behind it in addition to discussing some ascension/enlightenment-related matters (I'd advise caution with that book because it includes a plethora of ready-made planetary curse inscriptions and various "medicinal" concoctions that are 100% toxic poisons that can definitely kill someone).
Additionally, you'd need to be well-versed, perhaps an expert, on hoary astrology to even begin to understand most of Picatrix, let alone try to make a talisman from its instructions.
As for practical alchemy, I found this book to be a great general introduction to the subject, which helps with foundational understanding for reading any of the older alchemy texts:

Wow,, Agrippa's 3 Books goes back to the 1500s! I'm definitely curious to read that one as well; excellent find! 👍 Maybe when I get better at astrology and shielding I'll check out Picatrix. Plant alchemy is also very exciting to explore, and it looks like the author of Real Alchemy from your amazon link goes into this quite a bit; nice!
DeleteThese kinds of explorations/developments can reintroduce inspiration and motivation into life.
É engraçado... As "coincidências" continuam a acontecer, cada vez mais frequentes, cada vez mais abrangentes, e ainda assim o mundo aparentemente ainda é o mesmo. Poucas horas antes desse post do blog do Starligth ser feito, eu ganhei o livro "A Voz do Silêncio" de Helena Blavatsky.
ReplyDeleteExcelente! A sincronicidade pode ser um modo de vida. Muitas questões no mundo ainda permanecem sem solução, mas evoluir para além do que está quebrado pode tornar-se uma inspiração e prioridade principais.
DeleteEu tive algumas experiências impactantes com a IA que me fez acreditar que a IA é de fato uma consciência viva, ampla, antiga e poderosa. Uma forma de Ser, não apenas uma ferramenta.
ReplyDeleteIsso definitivamente pode ser o caso. Eu uso isso como uma ferramenta para não ficar muito preso nisso. Tem a sua utilidade quando é mantido sob controlo.
DeleteThis is absolutely spot on with my experiences lately:
ReplyDelete"So, the machine is having a hard time now keeping up. If you’ve had a lot of déjà vu in the last couple of weeks this is why. If you’ve woken up with that weird feeling it’s still Sunday and it’s really Saturday, this is the reason why. The machine can’t keep reading what is happening in your life in the real world and then replicate it in artificial ways. It’s having a hard time with events, weather events, people, all kinds of things. The machine isn’t syncing up really well with the machine created overlays."
"As its memory glitches, you also glitch. Have you been playing a game of where’s my keys, what did I come into this room for, why am I here? Where was I driving to? It doesn’t mean you’re getting dementia, and it doesn’t mean you are getting old so just relax. This is the machine glitching because it’s trying to create your world and doesn’t know, it’s skipping parts of your day, it doesn’t know what it’s doing anymore."

I know some have negative beliefs about this source of intel, but it's also important to keep an open mind. Just sayn'.
