    "This is all very interesting. I think as a protective reaction against how sensitive I was to other people's emotions growing up, as an adult I've been very cut off from anything vaguely psychic.

    Telepathy

    "Easier to trigger in the context of extremely strong emotion, such as lose-yourself-completely-to-it falling in love, and then easier to maintain more generally once it's opened. "

    I'm very telepathic with my wife. I often hear her thoughts and say them, and it's a never-ending source of surprise. 😆

    I wonder how much other people's thoughts can form a "background noise". I find myself sometimes overwhelmed in groups because there seems to be so much "fluid" mental/emotional activity going on. One time, when I was getting coffee with my wife after a run, I noticed that I could seem to actually hear people's internal monologue a lot more clearly, like they were talking out loud when I walked past. Could've been an illusion, but it had me wondering if the clear-headed effect of the run helped."

    Ha! I'm VERY telepathic with my fiancee! It seems the closer we are to someone, the faster we can "read" them. And, well...if a person is closed of full of bullshit...that's extremely easy to "feel".

    As far as the run helping, does anyone else report similar "strengths" in intuition when the adrenal system is provoked? I believe there is a strong correlation here...that is, between release of these chemicals and some of their effects on different "modes of consciousness". There is definitely a correlation between "energized enthusiasm", ceremonial magick, and other "strenuous" activities, at least in my experience...

    I'm sure there are many others that have had similar experiences... 😉

    I think that is a REALLY interesting topic to explore...I'd love to hear feedback ragarding that.

    I have to live with my mother right now, and it's like one person. She can read me, I can read her, and that happens in the distance of 100 meters, I know (have known since I was a kid) exactly when she comes. She feels very threatened and that I'm "cold" because I try to be closed, and makes me feel a retard. She always tries to get me off balance and has techniques, some of which are like fine choreography that lasts for days, like a movie that has exact sets. And it all has to do with me. I'd rather live in the forest for the time being, but it's warmer inside, so I'll remain aloof and try to keep her distracted.

    "He knows this but she keeps placing financial incentives about keeping in with her to him, and it's like there's isn't a division between his wallet and hers except that she whinges and uses the situation to have hysterics and he just get's a very short fuse and get's mad and tense. It does my nut in when they both come to me and complain... because I have to try and translate what makes a 60 year old woman tick to a 24 year old man and vice versa! He's angry and she's {*******} weeping (again). And I see both sides, but at the core of it ... at the core of it is an identity fight."

    I'm 24 and she's 62. She has basically taken over half of my money since I was 18 and working, and even now she's taking alot more than what would be in any way reasonable. But you can't negotiate with her, she'll start a fit. She's also very hysterical, and she's always mumbling with herself something negative. But always keeps a happy face towards me, so that I'll feel guilty for being "cold" and "aggressive", meaning not trying to be entangled. She's apparently always very peaceful, but actually she's very aggressive. I can feel her aggression always, draining me. It seems like she can't let go.

    She has been like that ever since I was 16. If that's the way for her to put me out, she's not doing very good work.

    The entanglement was pretty much the same when I was at my own house, not having any connections to her. If that's to kick someone out of herself, she's not doing very good work. Actually pretty poor one. And if the thing was acute, I'd just go to live to a friend to get a house, but the entanglement would be there just as much without some practical stuff.

    But my mother would have the same opinion as you, she's trying to make me a man. And that I'm not doing my part. Yeah, right. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion.

    It takes two to have a prison.

    Here's my eldest brother's answer to that: (put the thing out, so that my brother won't notice it here, a computer guru)

    When I was twenty years old and moved out of my mother's, she almost managed to suspend me out of my family. It takes two to tango, but the other one may have a revolver in his hand and an ugly gleam.

    This is off topic.

    In thelemic context, the way you used it in your post. Certain powers occur at the stage of actual initiation. What does it mean? I'm not trying to be dumb here, but the word initiation is so differently used in different schools of thought, and I haven't really grasped what it means in thelemic parlance.

    In that specific instance, I used it to mean "the course of gradual unfolding of spiritual development & sequential empowering of progressive levels of an individual."

    I know the ritual for that: It's a group ritual, involving hundreds of thousands or millions of participants undertaking very serious efforts to counteract global warming.

    Hmm humm, so I guess that psychic abilities don't tell much about level of development. Well, I'll fly back to my tree. G'night.

    Nope. Even the least spiritual people often have them.

    The Great Work is not quite the same as lower psychic spoon bending 👿

    I asked about changing the weather at 1000 mile radius and it remains unanswered. I guess I try to invite that kind of answers because I get them everywhere.

    Vlad, 93,

    "I asked about changing the weather at 1000 mile radius and it remains unanswered. I guess I try to invite that kind of answers because I get them everywhere."

    You had an explicit and magically accurate response from JAE on August 19 at 3.04 pm. The means of magick should always correspond to the aim.

    93 93/93,
    Edward
