Bornless Ritual effects?
-
The silence thing is odd, but it is in pretty much every tradition I can think of that has to do with magick or mysticism. I am guilty of not being silent frequently and I think it has been a setback. Progress seems to stop and problems seem to arise. Why, I have no idea. I'm at the point now where I sort of don't NEED to talk about anything, but there's the damned temptation of the internet, isn't there?
Might as well be silent while you set yourself to this goal. Why not?
I'm looking forward to others' answers on Silence.

That is the stupidest thing I've read on this board. LOL! ROLF!
Was that pearl of wisdom drawn from your own gray matter or did you pick it up from some run of the mill "new age" book"?
Children are not our teachers. That is a ridiculous and utterly false statement. Children are educated by adults so that they perhaps have something worthwhile to contribute as individuals.
This is the Temple of Thelema message board and not a Wicca "everybody is welcomed" egalitarian feel good board. I don't have much patience with Jesus freaks of any stripe.
If you can't stand the heat, you know what to do. I guess you are upset because tomorrow Real Americans are going to kick Pelosi and her goons back to their third world nurseries.
I apologize if I seem too harsh, but I just wanted to talk about the Bornless Ritual and contacting the HGA and I get really angry when I see these liberals running amok.
After tomorrow night, I'm sure I'll be just fine and dandy.
Sorry if I offended anyone.
Peace

"I've given some thought to it. I have performed the Bornless Ritual over fifty times in the last seventy two hours. I've also had quite a bit of caffeine and gotta say I"M WIRED!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!
I now think this is the most important ritual in the history of the world. I feel like a whole new person, totally bad ass!
I was contacted by this guy who claims to have attained K&C through this ritual and is offering to guide me step by step for the paltry sum of $500.00. I'm seriously considering not moving out of my parents place and using the money to help me in this ritual. I think it would be a smarter deal in the long run. -

Sri Larry"This has nothing to do with teaching something like math or worldly wisdom, and instead deals with knowing and doing your true will. We start out knowing who we are and what we want, but then people come into our lives and side track us from doing that. There are people who want to tell you who you are, and what you are supposed to be. Children are very good at things like enjoying the moment, but adults sometimes think about the miseries ahead and get stuck in them.

I was just having a PM conversation with someone about my early childhood and how much I instinctively knew before it was educated right out of me by older people who "knew better."
There's also some weird experiences I had when I was 5 years old or less (I can clearly remember because we lived in one house until I was 5 and then moved to a new house; had I lived in one house all my life, the memories probably wouldn't stick out). I saw the "green man" (same one of all the myths). I remember being scared and ran inside, told my mom, she assured me that such a thing didn't exist and we both looked out the window and saw it wasn't there, so I went outside again and began running around a hedge of low bushes watching with glee the sparkly pixie type fairies in the brush. I didn't even have any movies or books with pixies/fairies in them. We were poor. We had a black and white tv, no cable and lived in the middle of nowhere. I also remember leaning back on the swing and looking up at the sky, seeing this huge expanse and just being blown away, amazed and wondering what this life would bring (we lived in the middle of nowhere, as I said, so there were no tall buildings and we had a huge plot of land with no trees, so I saw a HUUUUGE sky). A few years later, I remember learning that "if the sperm and egg met a second later, I may have never been born" and I was in total disbelief. I remember looking up at the moon in much the same way I looked up at that sky and just thinking that was completely wrong, that I had always been here before.

"Mahanta70,From the information you are giving us, I must say it sounds a bit worrisome. Although I don't believe it is likely you will have "visions while driving" I do think that it's possible to end up experiencing a part of your mind that might be traumatic. The point of the "Bornless One" is not to achieve "effects," but to unite yourself with your HGA. THAT and that alone should be the only reason for performing this rite.
I highly recommend that if you do not wish to "slow down," to start the supreme practice of Silence. I have known a couple of enthusiastic magicians who have end up in the mental hospital for a long weekend."
Is not union with the HGA an "effect"? Why do you think I should wish to "slow down"?
What makes silence a "supreme practice"? What is the benefit of being silent? "
The Assumption of the the God form Harpocrates should be a daily part of your practice. Which involves being silent internally. If you can't see why you should perform it daily read 777, Liber ABA, Liber Aleph... just to name a few. Also remember that is is one of the four powers of the Sphinx, as well as, friendly advice.

I was reading through this message board this morning and found other conversations which you stifled with a suggestion of "be silent." You are a true agent of the KAL, a malevolent force of misdirection arising amongst mankind to steer truthseekers to the mire. What is your real agenda here?
To everyone reading, there is nothing of value in being silent. The only way you can truly understand something is by explaining it to others in your own words. Those who suggest others be silent are only interested in propping up whatever insignificant religious cult they belong to.
As a former initiate of Eckankar, I have seen the "practice of silence" used to manipulate sincere souls in order to discourage the free flow of knowledge and restrict it to a privileged few (who collect the $$$$ from the nitwits who pay.) "Firstly, I am an AA magician who at almost HALF your age shows quite a bit more discretion, and if I were you I would be embarrassed. Secondly, if a person gets on a forum and rambles on about looking for "visions and voices" and basically ranting like some fool they should expect a certain level of criticism or at least raised eyebrows. Third, it is oftentimes best in dealing with an issue so personal and intimate as K&C with HGA that you may not want to put it on the internet.
I have stifled no one. Why should anyone listen to me? I think that when a reasonable remark is made that those who have commonsense will abide by it. Perhaps, you need to develop that quality in yourself.
I hope your angel starts talking to you so that you have a life changing experience, and then you can look at the posts you have just made and see what a fool you are.

"Lol, that doesn't seem very helpful. Although it is, but it is discouraging as well. I hated this kind of advice when I was starting out."
The first practical advice I received from an Adept was: "You talk too much, shut up!"
I felt insignificant, like my thoughts were unimportant (and they were!), and that the person telling me so was a jerk! Now, I practice without blabbing about every little thing in my mind, and have deeper fuller experiences.
When one has sex do they blather on to their partner about everything they do (if so then they must be terrible in bed)? Why would you do the same with your mystical lover?

I'm not disagreeing with you at all. For comparison purposes, though, here's what my guru says: "You don't worry. You just do your best." And if I continue to pester him? Same answer, laughter or no response. Gets the point across very nicely.

Simply citing a historical reference with myself as well as being rhetorical

Firstly, there is no AA other than several inauthentic pretenders to the name who take in the gullible for their money. So your being an "AA magician" is spurious at best and intently deceptive at worst...unless you meant alcoholics anonymous.
What is so embarrassing about asking questions concerning the occult on a forum on magick?
It is amazing how you engage in overt personal attacks instead of offering friendly communication like everyone else on this board. I am appalled at your juvenile behavior. But you state that you are in your early twenties, so I guess there is not much you can offer here in the first place, thus the convenient "practice of silence" you invoke to avoid difficult subject matter. When you get older, you will understand, so I forgive you my young padawan.
Let's get back on topic and discuss the Bornless Ritual.
Please. -

So instead of discussing our experiences, we should join an org (and not care about the authenticity of it's lineage per your actions), and keep the discussion within the group.
If you were to have sex with a real person you would see that it is different than sex with a "mystical lover."
There is a difference between babbling and communicating ideas to one another in a well thought out manner.
To assume an attitude that one abide by a code of "silence" when venturing beyond the magical group (that collects ones $$$) is dangerous cultish behavior in my opinion.Sri Larry

"I must say, though, I really don't get Silence. I have felt its effects in my own life, but with the magical diary and all that, I just don't undefstand why it is necessary, really."
I completely agree with you Redd Fezz. We need more people of your caliber to share the jewels that sprout from their heads on this board.
As far as I can tell, the only benefactors of Silence are those who run the groups that collect the checks from those they request "silence" from.
It is a clever marketing strategy our young seem to fall prey to. It seems to happen more often then we would like to think.
Let's get back on topic and discuss the Bornless Ritual!!!I just performed the Bornless Ritual three times in a row and feel like I'm flowing out of my skull into the keyboard! Wicked !! LOL!! ROLF!!

Please."You display your ignorance by your very suggestion that you know anything at all about the AA. Jim's lineage for example is a great example of an unbroken lineage, the lineage I belong to is less known but just as authentic.
Oh and it is good here to point out that I have never paid a dime to the AA.Funny how you comment on my juvenile behavior but can't see the plank in your own eye, so I will assume that you are joking around here. Age, as you are using to define maturity, obviously does not apply to you.

Your right my AA authenticity doesn't matter. But you were bringing up magical orders before so I was trying to make a point. I simply belong to a magical order who's purpose is to unite the magician with his HGA. One the methods used to attain this Union is through sex magick. Therefore, sex is impossibly similar to to the K&C. I'm guessing your one of those types who pops without control within the first few minutes shouting: "This has never happened to me before!" (but we all know it's every single time no matter how many times you do it, with tiny worthless "orgasms" for yourself and worse yet your partner)
Want to hear about my success with the Bornless One? What makes me believe you are worthy to hear about it? Because you say that you have done it 50 odd times in a couple of days, but you still can't sit still long enough and shut up your mind or your mouth enough to listen to your angel speak? Those that have had success in the matter of the Angel will always say little about it, not because we want to, but rather because language fails to describe the experience. Silence comes when you have focus, but you lack that and your poor results go dribbling all over the keyboard.
