I feel pretty energized by invoking. Anyway, the results probably differ in each case.

Something that has been touched upon that I though to expand upon...

Often what are perceived as 'negative' results from the LBRP arise from resistance.
Of being afraid to take the necessary steps in order to become in tune with our True Will.
Though, completely changing your live is not necessitated.
You may just need to a shift in perspective.

Iit's not the quarter as such; it's that the Elemental Tablet is placed there. Everything traced is traced over the Elemental Tablet as part of the magick of opening or activating it.

In that sense, it's a specialized example of consecrating something.

😆

This is perhaps your best work yet, Sir Blythe.

The ability to analyze anything with a sense of humor, informed by Qabalah, is an indication that the Magician's work is healthy, wealthy, and wise.

"From the book: "These small "spells" may be used by themselves..." in what context? Not inside a circle as the circle precludes the fiat."

Why do you think that? It does no such thing. Within a properly prepared circle, your word is more powerful.

The main thing I was saying, though, is that a declaration such as "hekas, hekas este bebeloi" may be used by itself to cleanse a space, or may be joined with formal banishing rituals.

"the Latin fiat, meaning "let it be done". Therefore, presumably you are out on a street corner? washing dishes? Gambling?"

LOL. While I wouldn't preclude those, that isn't what I was saying. Yes, you are right, the reason the word was selected was to reflect, "Let it be done!" One accomplishes an action simply by declaring it.

"In what setting does one apply "Asperges me, Dominus, hyssopo, et mundabor lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor"?"

For any purification, including the purification of a space for formal ritual work.

"I would think the phrase from Liber Legis would be utilized when wants something to occur and then applies the phrase to counter the desire of the result. Is this correct?"

It's too narrow, in that this is not the only situation. But yes, it can be used for that.

To a great extent, the selection is a matter of personal taste and style, as well as the circumstances of the actual rite.

Notice that hekas was used to "banish by fiat" in sample ritual No. 3.

no. As a rule I try to get my vitamins from food. I don't take vitamins or supplements. I can feel the mosquitos land on me, I think they have a hard time breaking my skin.
B's on the other hand have no problem penetrating me.

Yes that resonates Ed Mason.
Its just like kung fu. A punch starts off as a punch but then becomes a lock a block and a throw but it ends off as just a punch. The freedom of the attack is there but it in kung fu it is highly disciplined.
I realize that people have to help themselves.
I tell my wife that the only way a 'human' learns is through Shock and trial and error.
My original post was really about the differences between the two departments at my work.
One keeps people down and severely restricts what they can do.
My department allows measures of freedom. But not really. I mean, I have the internet on the computers on the factory floor....When have you ever seen that?
I'm working with those alienation practices though.

...I can see where "my pain" fits into the equation. I don't see the same world others see. Simple.

"I've thought about this concept for awhile due to the nature of what I've read regarding Hadit and knowledge of the yoga bindu which is really only hearsay as I've never experienced this.

"There literally is a stage of Yoga Meditation in which all experiences collapse, so to speak, into a point from which all experiences arose in the first place. The Bindu is near the end of the subtlest aspect of mind itself, after which one travels beyond or transcends the mind and its contents. It is near the end of time, space, and causation, and is the doorway to the Absolute."

To me this is not only a doorway but a turnstile, we enter and exit through this point. Bindu literally means "mustard seed" but is supposed to be much smaller...the smallest point imaginable. I wonder if the Bindu is equivalent to Hadit? which appears to me as the union of the hemispheres of the brain. The wings each hemisphere and the disk the Eye.

Any thoughts?

The Hindu deity is known to be coterminous with ones true self (Atman is Brahman). This is called by infinite names under infinite guises: Brahman, Bhagavan, bindu, amrita, etc. The symbol is essentially the 2 uniting into 1, which your brain is also a symbol of. But they also acknowledge that their Deity is smaller and more subtle than a mustard seed and greater than the whole night sky. The point is that He is both Vast and Minute. That sounds familiar...

Liber LXV III:33. "Come thou, O beloved One, O Lord God of the Universe, O Vast One, O Minute One! I am Thy beloved"

Not an attack, no. But there can be times of accelerated proximity (more connection than the previous routine threshold) that floods the psyche.

I think this is a signal that you need to set a daily regimen of basic balancing rituals and meditation.

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

It's also pretty intense to intone as well.
