Volunteers needed for experiment.

I tried one experiment. No immediate results.
A few questions:
1.) Is it fine if dry(though still active) yeast is used?
2.) Is there a specific cue you use during the meditation to delineate the correct intent for the sacrament?I'm not particularly great at mental quiescence just yet(as a Gemini Sun/Mercury, a quiet mind doesn't come easy), so it may just be that I am not able to focus enough to reach the active level of exaltation.
I will try again tomorrow, and I will do more to heighten focus.

Have you tried things like masturbating into an empty jar, and compared it to masturbating into a jar of yeast? Or masturbating into jars of other things?

Shalom
I shall try this when I have had enough to drink, and no work to do, Avshalom.
However, I am drawn to this experiment, despite easy criticism. The weirdest things have happened to evolve man into what we are. Reptiles from space, little mushroom-shaped scrolls, plants bred to "enslave" man with their alkaloids, centuries of ceremonial drinking, and now, it seems, inoculated yeast.
"seems"
We all know we can astral project, or put our consciousness, (and sometimes unconsciousness, and sometimes others' sub/consciousness,) into other things, like the sky for instance. Human collective thought on the large scale can cause clouds to form if they wish to smell the sweet, sweet rain. Especially now, in the northern hemisphere.
These microtubules, if our theories are correct, will be blank pieces of living tissue that can serve as an intermediate place for consciousness, and the roots of all of this make me wish to try it once.
Your post did make me laugh for the first time today. Thank you.

"Av - don't mock until you've tried it!
" Dar, I only had a tiny note of mocking. I was seriously asking, since you said you had results, if you had any reason to believe that it the combo of yeast and fluid was any different than just mediating over fluid alone. -
As far as my part in this experiment goes....
Somebody should try invoking the Earth Pentagram with Taurus while Venus is setting in the West. It's a good time of year.
All results whatsoever (in cases of Magick) are dependent on relative circumstance. The Microcosm and Macrocosm are present in any reaction or interaction. Their mode or manner of synthesis are entirely independent of form, however.
There, my thoughts.

I went at it again, with re-hydrated yeast.
It's an interesting meditation/sacrament.
I felt directly addressed by it, but I could not collect myself together enough to send a clearly intended message. It gives the impression of waiting for me to act, but I just get flustered as I wouldn't really know what to ask the type of consciousness you suggest would reside in the ancient life-form.
I'm going to abstain from any smoking and drinking for a week while the dry yeast sits in an ensigilized vessel with a stone I have, then enter the meditation again at the end of the week with more directed intent.

"Ok- but remember it's a living thing so you will have to keep it reasonably warm, hydrated, clean, and fed if you want to keep it alive. Also - if you overfeed it then it will produce too much alcohol and go dormant on you. A single celled organism is not a demanding houseguest however.
"I'll be using a fresh portion of yeast for each session. The used quantities are in the garden

"Nice to hear that you've made first contact.
"Seriously, once it was hydrated and breathing, I felt an awareness enter the room.
I sat in my asana with it as it absorbed the water, and at around the ten-minute mark my inner vision seemed to go inverse and started spurting cycles of color.
I know there is something occurring here, though I'm not sure yet if it's the nature of the sacrament or just my projections.
I will keep the work up, Dar.
It's a fun little project -
Dar, Guys. Preparing for experiment very soon. Trying to find good time between work and study.
Interesting piece of information:
After I knock up some jars with medical mushroom spores, I usually find my consciousness flowing near where they are, (usually during rest), but it's not until 5 or 6 days after knocking up. This is usually when the myceleum begins to grow. It's like it's talking to you, and "thanking" you for bringing it about, and letting you know it's alive and where it is.
I think there's some huge connections between human consciousness and fungi consciousness.
More to come...
(yeah)

After a handful of go's, I've come to equate the consciousness contacted through the means of this experiment with Baphomet, in the sense of hir modern anthropomorphized form as it has evolved after a simple mistake in etymology(it being a diluted distillation of Mahomet).
Baphomet, the eight-lettered name in the style put forth by Levi, is a useful image for a deity that has these eight characteristics:"DUALISTIC God-Devil.
ANDROGYNOUS Includes the Female.
LUCIFERIC Torch, light bringer, forbidden wisdom.
THERIOMORPHIC Half human half animal, Pan-like, Pagan, incorporates the ‘lower’ selves.
SEXUALISED Breasts and symbolic penis. Goats as horny/Satanic.
MAGICAL Caduceus, magical gestures, waxing and waning moon.
SHAMANIC Horned, theriomorphic, wild.
GAIANISTIC a sense of the sacredness of the Biosphere and Ecology, Life on Earth."
(taken from a talk given by Peter J. Carroll about the evolution of Baphomet)This is the nature of Power on this planet.
I now use this sacrament as a means of communion with this force.When using semen, I find the act has the power to send "seeds" of intention into the noosphere, to influence the emergence of thought on the planet in one direction or another(I use it principally to receive artistic inspiration, because art behaves in that same manner; as seeds of intention influencing the emergence of thought. How many paradigm-shattering movements were initially sparked by the ideas of artists?). This works wonderfully if you submerge sigilized metal plates into the yeast to more specifically denote the intent, the metals being chosen by planetary correspondence for the needs of the situation.
I found the act of giving it blood to be akin to signing an Oath. In this case, an Oath to the architects of biology here for the cause of Evolution on Earth. Stepping into the fire, so to speak. You are affirming the Truth that you stand on a razor's edge, that not all humans are equal, that there is an evolutionary bar to meet and if you don't meet it, you will be discarded. If your actions are not beneficial to the overall goals of Evolution on the planet, then your actions will bring about nothing but your own destruction.
This is best kept in mind when using semen for enchantment.
There are many other ways of achieving these two results, but I find the yeast to be the most complete grounding in Malkuth for the intent to have.

Making some cider, I was in my bedroom. Forgot to put small hole in the top with air-"filter", bottle exploded all over the room with yeast, sugar, and apple juice everywhere.
I just knew I should have had a wank instead of a drank with that yeast!
