    It all resides in level of participation. Organized thinking creates organization. Nothing special about the symbol. Ritual is but a shadow of your power to conceive.

    A club can beat the secrets out most occultists, other than that perhaps the intensity of self deception.

    I think it is a one member cult.

    there isn't any. my religion, your cult. cult = someone else's religion.

    if you want to get down to specifics, every indicator of a cult, is shared by every major religion. especially christianity.

    And perceive. Organized participation creates stronger thoughtforms, thus attached to sigils, making them special in a way no?

    i don't believe it creates stronger thought forms, just less curiosity, or even self dicipline, to look beyond them.

    the thoughtform being the gateway between realms through the sigil which the being becomes accustomed to as being called by name.

    No. There are no idle thoughts, each individual one having command of your attention and how you apply your mind is motive. Resonance or large oscillation is the result of frequency and duration. If the thought is not shared it is not supported in time the moment it is left unattended. The thought does not end per say but travels out of the area of immediate influence which is your attention.

    When examining different economies of scale here is not a discrete location being everywhere at once and now is not an isolated instance being presently available all the time. Being is a journey without distance, having and being the same.

    BR is pretty good. They have fifty albums with twenty songs each, but they have a few good things. they're definitely not "punk" as some people try to say. Also I don't like the way that all of their songs are really preachy political words and ideas.. They might be better making talk radio instead of roxk music. lol.

    No what? I mean yeah I know this much.

    We can see the measure of this in the statement "summoned."
    Attraction or taste is traffic control for the unintended.

    No, your thoughts are already their attainment. You gain mastery by picking them up or laying them down at will.

    Practical is what we practice. I was attracted at one time but I noticed that no matter what degree of attainment you think you might be in possession of our lives are series of sensations one followed by the other some which we may call pleasant and some not so. There is no escaping the all consuming fire of metabolism but you can learn what is hot and what is not as far as your effort toward a desired aim. Ritual cannot teach you about your powers of conception, they can only mesmerize you for a time. Know thyself. You are all measures.

    hmmm I liked the rest of your post, however I believe ritual and initiation to be paramount, to discovering the wisdom of your lifes path of being like God, or Jesus, he was a great dude too.
    All ritual is is a specific kind of meditation, probably the best kind. You access youre higher guardian angel , your higher conscious.
