How do you inflame yourself?

Hi Jim - can you recommend concrete techniques/tips for the solo practitioner to inflame himself? For example, when preparing a talisman, I have become unexpectedly very "hot" when pronouncing the names of the entities inscribed on the outside cirlce of talisman as a practise run, but when it came to actually charging the talisman during the operation, the energetic effect was nil. Possibly this was because I had run through the operation so many times beforehand and was physically tired...
"There is also the idea that the energies are being directed into a talisman.
If one were to take the theory that the body is working as conductor, heat would imply resistance derived from the energies bleeding off, lacking a proper channel.

Taking reciting a chapter of a Holy Book as an example :
Memorize a line, until you can speak the line without referring to the book.
Imagine the line, form an image of what is occurring.
Experience it. feel the artful expression.In the course of mastering these steps so shall the fire be stoked and burned.
( At least, it works for me

"But the recommendation of Energized Enthusiasm - and the four categories of techniques (be sure you find all four) - should be a major help. I doubt anyone can do much better than that essay."
just read "energized enthusiasm" a few times over, and i'm not 100% sure on the fourth after music, alcohol, and sex, is it dance?
-
Dance is treated as a subset of music.
It's pranayama.

The "substance" not normally spoken of, (it did take a new Aeon for people to openly talk of this as we do,) has to do with the primordial, "perfect" substance that all life is eventually evolved, or "constructed" from.
For instance, this substance, (no longer quoting it,) is the initial ingredient in DMT, secreted by the pineal gland, and DMT is the first neurotransmitter of awareness known to the fetus. DMT forms from this substance in the mouth of the fetus, and eventually moves upward to form the pineal gland.
DMT works with this substance to produce other neurotransmitters like serotonin, as well as produce the sperm and sperm-fluid, and fluid surrounding an egg in males and females.
It is rarely found, except in very, VERY small quantities in "regular" humans and animals. Probably not even detectable in such beings.
It is produced in larger amounts in those focused and in line with their higher selves, including philosophers, artists, musicians, magicians, and the like.
One might say it is the "silky shadow" of pure Divinity, and as such is the initial ingredient in Divine Substances such as "strange drugs" like Dimethyl Tryptamine, the "Cactus", as Crowley describes Peyote, and Psilocin & Harmala alkaloids. (All but mescaline have been found to be naturally endogenously produced by the mammal brain.)

I've found that taking "inflame yourself with prayer" literally works rather well as soon as you find a prayer that does it for you. Back in the day I could get awfully inflamed kneeling before a statue of Mary and praying the Rosary. These days I often use the "Thou who art I..." section of The Ship (also in Liber XV). Most anything recommended as a "general invocation" seems to do the trick.

Do you have evidence to support this? As far as I'm aware that's all just speculation.

What do you mean by "initial ingredient"? -
Since nobody has given the quick and direct answer: This question is really the same question as "How do you fall in love?"
No erasy answers, right? Except OTOH there are nothing but easy answers. You just have to realize that this is what you're doing: Falling passionately in love.
For the moment.

Appreciation.
To Jimmy Page
I wonder if
when you close your eyes
And your hand
moves over your strings,
In your mind
you see me dancing,
Your music making my whole being sing.Sometimes when you play
My rainbow takes flight
And I move to heaven
Your eyes fixed on the sight
I dance from space to time
My body, your music
One in rythem.I never knew
my hips could move
Like that
until you came into my life
My eyes never sparked like this
Before I heard your song
And my soul never cried out
For More, More, More
Till I felt your touchIn my mind
In my heart
In my feet
In my hips
And my lipsUpon my ears
You lick them,
And kiss them
And whisper
Darting your notes
Deep into my being
Making my body
Ripple and tense
Sway and arch
Thank you so much for that.
Thou Art God;) -

What do you mean by "initial ingredient"?"I don't have any evidence to prove that it exists, and neither did the Greeks of Aleister Crowley.
Modern science cannot prove that it exists, and has not yet.
So if I cannot even prove something exists, like a spirit, or a ritual, or a god or a name, then how the hell am I do prove it's action, constitution, or purpose upon things?

You should read the book of the law and learn well that "proof is thy success."

I will surely take this into mind when replying to threads, miss Dar.

I wish they would trash that shit with their coffee grounds.
No one can own pixels of light, except a pixel itself, and no one can own a pattern of frequencies of sound.
This country is in a crock pot, if you catch me.

Maybe you should read it and learn well that the quote is "Success is thy proof".@ThelemicMage said

I'm not sure you read my question. You said that a certain subset of the population has a higher than average concentration of a chemical in their brains. Empirical claims demand empirical evidence. That's all I was asking for. I have no idea what you're talking about... -
Then you might forgive me for paraphrasing our sacred Book, and know that you are in the right place for where you are.
Those, whom I could not tell you, who are more tuned to their higher selves, pick up on these notions, and the proof is in the pudding, you could say.
What I said about a certain number of people having it produced in their bodies is a direct paraphrase from Crowley.
So, I guess Crowley is your proof, knowing he got there first and showed others how to attain, (and still is, if you ever meditate or involve yourself in work in the direction of Boleskine.)
You may as well just ask me if Crowley is still in spirit form, at Boleskine, receiving and transmitting magical energy, and where the proof of that can be found.
I cannot get further into this without blatantly typing things that should not even be spoken of.

Ah, I see; we're talking about two different things. Your wording above made it sound like the "it" in the latter two paragraphs referred to DMT, not the substance you were speaking of prior to that. The notion that DMT is found in higher concentrations in people who experience visions, mystical states, etc. is a genuine scientific claim. I was asking if there was evidence for that because I was genuinely interested, not because I was trying to challenge you. I wouldn't have asked that question if I'd known what you were talking about. -
Actually, I was referring to the unnamed chemical.
DMT in larger amounts happens to correspond to this unnamed wonder in larger amounts.
Scientific evidence: None.
I'll apologize on behalf of the psychede.. I mean "scientific" community, for not having made advances far enough to be able to pick up on such things as what constitutes the soul by physical manifestation in the human body.

"18. It is not for us here to enquire as to how it should happen that certain human beings possess from birth this right of intimacy with the highest reality, but Blavatsky was of this same opinion that the natural gift marks the acquisition of the rank in the spiritual hierarchy to which the student of Magick and Yoga aspires. He is, so to speak, an artist in the making; and it is perhaps not likely that his gifts will have become sufficiently automatic in his present incarnation to produce the fruits of his attainment. Yet, undoubtedly, there have been such cases, and that within my own experience. "
Quoted from above in the thread.
This right of intimacy...
Some people are born spiritual, or in spirit, inspired.....naturally high on life.
Some people are not, and they dont want to be.
Some people are not, but they want to be, so they work at it...and the universe responds as if.It has been speculated that the people who are naturally spiritual have a different blood type then the masses. people can also be taught to control thier being so that they can actually mass produce these substances, and harvest them....

Here of lately my meditation and practices has been meditation to gnosis, I am in a restrictive atmosphere so I meditate alot. And reading a few things of the Great Beast had penned. The account of A.A. makes me stand up inside. But to really gets me off and gowing alot. Is the greatest thesis of magick ever penned in his work 'Magick.in Theory and Practice.' As he so eloquently put all the ingredients down all on paper, all the little pieces into a scientific analysis of each individual part.
Or I will read some Rudolf Steiner knowledge of the inner worlds and how to obtain them. Truellyban enflaming manuscript. -
But what makes me hot.....i mean burning hot, fully engaged, ready to push a mountain over and stimulate my magickal circuitry is usually triggers that usually are the results of unfair situations, places where my honor is maliciously attacked. When I am under attack and I feel I have no other recourse to protect myself because of.unfairness. Unfairness and tilting the scales gets me burning hot especially when it is to be mean or malicious.
Malicious intent is harmful. I don't need it. So I have to keep myself one step ahead. My opinion these people non enlightened beings they are, really have issues,and they are so malicious to one another. But that is in their intent not their action. It is the intent you must guard yourself from. Yeah, it comes down to.intent, when I can postulate it correctly, I flame up immediatly....
