For its self-knowledge, the Great Spirit separates a primordial pair within itself — the knower and the known — and, in the absolute sense, this very process of reflection is synonymous with actualization.

Any being, as a Microcosm, contains within itself all the potentials of the Great Spirit; however, for their actualization and realization the process of self-knowledge is required, and therefore requires subject-object separation.

If a being strives to return to potential unity — the subject-object division must be removed — as in the Eastern Way. If a being strives for integral unity (in the Western Way), then, conversely, its potentials must be revealed as clearly as possible, and thus the subject-object division must be utterly obvious.

These obvious considerations have a number of important consequences.

biner

The Western Way is ineffective in solitude, since the differentiation between subject and object of realization within a single mind presents a number of difficulties.

On the one hand, such a division is absolutely necessary. A mind that lacks an internal difference of potentials has no means of generating energy, and therefore is incapable of development. This fact is of key importance for Magic. The higher the internal tension of the Magus, the greater the intensity of his being, and thus the more effective the realization.

On the other hand, reflection becomes even more effective when a mind finds its reflection not only in itself but also in another mind. Since mind is initially oriented “outward,” toward seeking and establishing correspondences between the Macro- and the Psychocosmos, it can successfully find its reflection in another mind — provided there is consonance, a “resonance” between them.

And everything would be good, easy, and right, if the world were not “fallen“, partially obscured as a result of the very process of its differentiation. This means that in any process of reflection, besides the subject and the object of cognition, there is also the “interspace” between them — a conditional space necessary for the emergence of a potential difference, which includes destructive elements — the “husk.”

Woven into the process of self-knowledge is the destructive influence of the Parasite of the mind (Lamassu), which leads to a reduced effectiveness of self-realization, as well as demonic manifestations that cause power drains.

Both kinds of destructive influences manifest at the level of the “internal” reflection and at the level of reflection “in another mind.”

Trying to “sort oneself out,” a person often confuses their own voice with the whisper of the Parasite, and embarks on the path of pursuing their whims, destroying the very foundations of their embodiment. In trying to find their reflection “in another,” a person risks focusing on an alien mind, and thus — once again — receives a distorted image.

Equally dangerous is fanatical trust in Masters and teachings that have not been thoroughly tested for affinity with one’s personal Way and one’s specific mind, and the “dissipation” of mind into an amorphous “love for all that exists.”

biner

In order to “trust oneself“, one must be certain that one is hearing precisely oneself, and not foreign whispers. One must repeatedly verify one’s inclinations and aspirations to ensure they are truly one’s and undistorted.

Nevertheless, until a mind finds support in itself, until the system of the Psychocosmos is ordered and hierarchized, it has no chance of stable and effective development.

And before “loving the whole world” and “seeing God in everything,” it is necessary to check whether you really love someone specific. An individual mind can find its reflection only in another individual mind, and diffuse “universal love” usually means lack of real love. Remaining an embodied being, using the body as a conduit of awareness, it is impossible to fully disassociate from individuality even following the Eastern Way, and therefore all assertions of embodied people about their “cosmization” are simply false. Losing connection with individual embodiment — a mind loses its embodiment, and thus no one remains to reason about “absolute” love. Before loving the whole world, one must be sure that one loves the person beside you. And only by loving the universe in someone specific is it possible to love the universe as such.

love

Another critically important point is the degree of affinity with those in whom you wish to find your reflection. The variant “I fashioned them from what was available, and then loved what there was” is very common, but rather unsuitable from the standpoint of development. People like to surround themselves with those who are easiest to be with, regardless of how this affects their development. Unfortunately, people commonly call “friends” not those who help them grow, but those who do not prevent their degeneration. People call “teachers” not those who stimulate growth, but those who indulge weaknesses and whims. And herein lies a widespread reason for ineffective development.

It is necessary to take into account the necessity and importance of both kinds of self-knowledge, as well as the possibility of errors in each. And, as always — the key to effectiveness is honesty and attentiveness, a clear-sighted mind, readiness to realize oneself, the willingness to acknowledge and correct mistakes, and the readiness to exert effort in seeking and realizing oneself.

  1. Is there any reliable way to test your “attractions and desires” other than listening to your heart? Because you want to be with a person with all your being, but they find all sorts of excuses just not to change their life. And you sit in doubts, maybe this isn’t for me?

    • Inna, what other reliable way? – Love is a feeling, and we feel with the Heart. If you feel drawn to a person, but they don’t feel the same towards you… Does the person love you? – But you can’t command the Heart.

      Love is far from always happy… You carry an unhappy Love like a cross – for years you carry your heavy cross, and the wind blows the dust off it, and every day your Heart aches with pain and hopelessness. You wait for that midnight call for years…

      And one day Love dies, and then there is only emptiness, apathy, and absence of desires. Then you understand that an unhappy Love – is in fact – Happiness – when there is someone close and dear in the world – beloved, even if far away. Happiness that spills day by day like grains from an hourglass. Love that day by day eroded your soul, like poison. The fire in the heart burns out – only ashes remain, white smoke…

      And then you can no longer love anyone. No, of course, you deceive yourself, saying – I love the whole world – but that is a lie – self-deception… you can’t love anyone specifically, you are afraid to feel pain, despair, suffering once more. The flame dies down and the lamp remains cold… years… although there is still plenty of oil in it. For the desire to love is a natural desire inherent to human nature. And if once, after years of coldness, you meet a spark on your way, that reignites the flame in your lamp, and it flares up and warms and shines – it doesn’t matter if this love will again be unhappy. Because it is such Happiness – to Love!

      • Thank you, a very poetic comment, even though I didn’t expect a response, it’s just that it hurt. Does he love? You seem to have discussed that love is not in fashion these days. So when it comes to putting love on one scale and an entire past life on the other, what would the ‘average person’ choose? Unfortunately, the heart cannot be commanded as you pointed out, and it loves the ‘average person,’ but nobody has canceled the brain. What bothers me most is this unused potential, and of course, one can suffer for the rest of their life, but I do not think it is productive.

      • Hello, Tavita. I have been reading your comments for a long time.
        I study letters, symbols, and sounds, and possess their subtle perception.
        I was very intrigued by your phrase ‘love is a feeling.’ Even though modern sources give such a definition, when I read this phrase, I felt a dissonance. So, I feel that love is not a feeling. Love is a process (movement), a prerequisite for feelings, the foundation for feelings. And there can be many feelings behind it. But at the same time, one can say that they feel love.
        And regarding the ‘heart’ and what lies behind the phrase ‘we feel with our heart.’ Recently I have pondered this word. I do not quite see how the biological heart correlates with feelings. And I also have doubts about the heart chakra being related to this, as it is not always open when one ‘feels with the heart.’ So, ‘heart’ is related to the word ‘middle,’ close to ‘center,’ ‘core,’ axis. And what is the center of a person? It is their spirit, monad, higher Self, exactly the divine essence. It follows that ‘to feel with the heart’ means to feel with one’s spirit, to feel the center of one’s world, to feel the axis of rotation of one’s whirlwinds.
        What comes to your mind when you say ‘to feel with the heart’?

        • Theo, I will try to draw… Love is attraction without logical justification. If you can convince yourself of something through reflection, then when feeling you can only state the fact – I feel, and trying to convince yourself that you feel nothing – means deceiving yourself. I feel love with my body. By ‘Body’, I mean not only the visible – physical one but the entire indivisible complex of bodies (energy blocks) enclosed in an energy cocoon (vessel). I feel love with my entire body, but especially with my heart chakra – the heart (the central candle of the seven-branched lamp). I agree that feeling love is associated with a process, a flow, an invisible but real communication channel between the heart chakras of loving people. The biological heart is connected with the heart chakra since all bodies in the energy cocoon are interconnected. When you worry about your loved one, it is physically reflected first and foremost in the biological heart. Two loving people are like two communicating vessels; if one has heaviness in their heart, the other feels it too. When one sends a wave of tenderness, the other receives it. These are real physical feelings. Did you ever feel the pain of your loved one? Can you take a part of that pain into yourself to make it easier for them? In fact, Theo,

          • Words can hardly accurately convey a feeling. It is easier for me to convey a feeling – by touching. One of the tests of the truth of a feeling is time. Daily attention constantly shifts to events, other people. If you forget, then you don’t love all that much, and it may be just a fleeting whim. But if months go by and you cannot forget, if the attraction intensifies, if the desire for interaction does not wane, then yes, it is worth knowing the person, striving for their true essence, answering the honest question – Would I accept a person with all their flaws and peculiarities? Interacting in the manifest world, if that person is not against the interaction, of course.

    • Hello, Inna.
      There are many ways to check one’s ‘attractions and aspirations’ towards a person. In my opinion, ‘listening to the heart’ is not so much a way of verification but rather a tool of verification. And to use the tool, a suitable situation is also needed.
      I have mentioned here before that the word LOVE itself is interpreted as ‘People KNOW the B-Yugs.’ And the soft sign in the letter means fulfillment and continuation of action. Another way to interpret this is to know a person and, in his manifestations, to know the god in him, and not an abstract external god, but the divine essence of the very person, ideally. In other words, based on the images of letters, love is about being connected to a person, striving for their true essence, knowing their spirit, getting to know the person, and since we live in a manifest world, doing all this visibly, in reality… love does not reside in inactivity.
      It turns out that you are free to create situations that will reveal both your and his desires to know each other, and the heart will be an instrument for knowing the truth of desires. And that’s why true love is augmented by tests. And the number of ways to test is as many as one’s imagination can create, your imagination.

  2. “You want to be with someone with all your being,” but with pre-set qualities (that they should change their existing ones, keeping which they “find all sorts of excuses”)?

  3. Maybe these are the machinations of some Belphegor, who entangles the threads of destinies, so that one person meets exactly the person with whom their heart does not resonate? Happiness was, though unhappy, love, or not, but if, in the end, the heart remains empty, then in any case Belphegor achieved his aim.

  4. After all, everything here is quite complicated. Let’s start with the fact that, oftentimes, one person does not actually love a real person with all his merits and flaws, but rather a projection of his Anima (if he is a man) or Animus (if she is a woman) – and the moment comes when the veil is lifted from the eyes, and it turns out that ‘he is not the one, she is not the one.’ ‘I look into your eyes, empty mirrors, searching for reflections…’ – and so on. But the thing is that he actually was never ‘that,’ and she was never ‘that,’ anywhere, except in the imagination of the partner.
    There is another option – as they say, a worthy act on the part of a woman is a) to dump the jerk; b) to get together with ‘the right guy.’ But many, for one reason or another, commit the intermediate option – they get together with the jerk and try to mold him into ‘the right and decent guy.’ And as a result, what’s left is that this jerk finds all sorts of excuses not to become ‘a decent guy’ – simply because he enjoys being a jerk (i.e., just what is implied by the concept of ‘jerk’ by others). Well, can such a subject not enjoy drinking somewhere in a tavern until midnight, while his wife is cooking for him, cleaning the apartment, and washing their baby’s diapers? :)))

    • I approached the mirror and saw my projection. This is the real me. Everyone sees it; she will see it too. The true me bears only a distant resemblance to this one. In an extreme case, let’s say I was truly myself a couple of times in my life. To see the true me, she must look beyond my real self.
      Likewise, I will have to see the true her through the projection of her real self. If imagination does not help us see each other, then what will?

      • Vision of Energies will help – the Vision of the Path of the person you are watching and their Adira. Power will help. Where there is power, there will be understanding. Passive vision will not suffice – use active vision. Carefully send a short impulse of power to the very core of the essence of the person, their Center. The response you hear can tell you a lot… Just in that fraction of a second, be true, authentic! Moreover, show yourself)))

        Imagination is inappropriate here. Imagine that in the midst of battle, you turn off Vision and turn on imagination. I think that defeat after this is quite likely.

        Much of what is said on this wonderful resource about Power is true for Love. Try to read everything written here about Power, implying Love under it, and many interesting points will open up for you. Both tactical and strategic.
        After all, Magic – is the path of obtaining both Power and Knowledge and Love. A deep understanding of the interconnection of these principles will protect from many mistakes. And in Love too…
        My experience tells me that Love without Power is defenseless. Power without love is cold. Love without Knowledge is absurd, although beautiful… Power without Knowledge and Love is destructive.

        It’s good when first comes Power, Guided by Love (love itself does not move during this time), and then Love carefully moves along with it. But only after Personal Power forms a reliable ring with the Strength of another person. When two people direct Power at each other (aligning flows), a ‘Heavenly Floating Bridge’ forms between them, resembling a Rainbow! And through it, Love flows effortlessly from heart to heart! And nothing can stop Love if it is under the protection of Power!
        When these conditions are not met, Love may reveal its dark side, which is horrifying…

        If the person you like cannot be an effective ‘Point of Application of Power’ for you, then it is worth thinking hard…

        • “A person goes towards knowledge, as they go to war – awakened and filled with fear, reverence, and unwavering confidence. To go towards knowledge or into battle otherwise is a gross mistake. Everyone who makes it will regret it sooner or later.” (May Enmerkar forgive me for introducing foreign traditions here)

          The path to Light leads through Darkness.

          I think this applies to love in full measure…

          “The path of the heart” – first of all, labor, and only then admiration of the result.

          And imagination will come in handy later, when two souls that have found each other take flight on the wings of Intention…

          This is just one way to talk. Subjective and not the best. Read between the lines. Enough for the wise)))

          • In the quote I provided from Castaneda, fear is understood as a completely different state. There is the fear of the victim and the Fear of the Warrior. You are speaking about the fear of the victim. In this, I completely agree with you! I meant the Fear of the Warrior. I have been understanding this fear for many years… And I continue to this day.
            If this fear is built properly, then in a critical situation, when every moment counts, it can even be trusted (and necessary) to take control. Otherwise, no one would be here writing these lines… It is a certain reserve of power that can be activated at any moment, and can almost instantaneously shift the system to a different state. But even in a calm state, the Fear of the Warrior serves functions similar to that of an antivirus in a computer operating system. It can warn of danger, even if superficially everything seems beautiful and peaceful. Therefore, for me, following my Path without this fear is downright unacceptable! Don Juan knew what he was talking about))). To gain the Fear of the Warrior is like riding your Dragon! Fierce Power!

            In different traditions, the same terms can have different meanings. This is where misunderstandings arise. This is normal; this is why we gather here to explain our position and understand others’, mutually enriching each other’s Paths and increasing the amount of Power in this world, of which there is very little left…

        • Wow!
          Hello. 🙂
          I think your answer is very suitable and clarifies the situation well.

          In general, I accept your position. I will tell about my own at the same level of comments.

          I will comment slightly here.

          Active vision (I did not know it was called that) indeed works. My practice shows that it is a very dangerous tool (like everything real), but effective… extremely effective.
          If the impulse is right, and if the person corresponds to the impulse, such an action alone can connect you to that person.
          But if you often misjudge such impulses… in the best case, you will be seen as strange; in a worse case, you will get many supposedly friends and definitely enemies.

          Regarding battles. I practice martial arts. In the simplest understanding: vision in battle is needed for studying the opponent, imagination is needed for forming your own strikes and situations. If the opponent is studied, or too simple, or too weak, then vision is not that necessary for victory.

          “Love without Power is defenseless. Power without love is cold. Love without Knowledge is ridiculous, even if beautiful… Power without Knowledge and Love is destructive.”
          I will note this in my quotes.
          ..Knowledge without Power is useless..
          ..Knowledge without Love is empty..

          Regarding the Power rings… I have seen it a couple of times in my life. It is not a common phenomenon. Where there is no Power, there will be no ring either.

          “And imagination will come in handy later, when two souls have found each other take flight on the wings of Intention…”
          In an ideal situation – yes. In reality – the probability of finding is often around zero.

          • Hello! ‘Wow’ is the highest praise for me! Thank you. It seems that Active Vision begins to work even through the internet))) I am glad that you understood me correctly! And my comment helped clarify the situation.

            Twenty years ago, active vision brought me precisely the problems you mentioned. And I distanced myself from people… Since then, much has changed. Now, occasionally descending to people, I always try to utilize active vision. But in altered versions. I do this unobtrusively. And with each person differently. This allows me to reveal interesting qualities in people (and not just them) and acquire them myself. A kind of training. If everything is done correctly, then no one notices anything.

            There are no random acquaintances on the internet,
            And there are also no accidents with carts in supermarkets.
            There is no randomness on the third planet from the sun,
            It seems someone needed all this.

            It is impossible to explain this through the internet. Turn on your imagination and sooner or later it will start working for you.

            Understanding the essence of martial arts over the course of twenty-five years has fostered the development of imagination. Therefore, my approaches are quite original and do not suit everyone. In battle, for forming strikes and situations, I utilize vision plus ‘active spatial dynamic consciousness/will.’ I cannot bring myself to call this phenomenon imagination. My regular imagination cannot work at a tempo of one event in 0.1 seconds – it completely throws me off! Perhaps yours occurs differently.

            At one time, I ‘imagined a lot for myself.’ Beginners I guided moaned from my ‘imagination,’ both literally and figuratively. Then… I am standing alongside my Teacher, my imagination habitually generates strikes… Bang! Bang! Bang! And then suddenly I open my eyes and see the ceiling of the hall and my Teacher leaning slightly over me. I imagined too much))) After getting up, I began to vaguely understand some things…

            Vision is needed not only for studying the opponent. Sometimes it is entirely unnecessary; sometimes there is simply no time for it! Especially if the opponent is not human. With vision, I perceive power lines along which especially dangerous points in space are shifting and naturally connect with these systems of points, being one of them myself. My actions are directed by the very environment in which I find myself. Imagination in such moments is detrimental to me. Hostile entities can manipulate the imagination… They are usually smarter, sneakier, faster…

            Regarding the rings of Power. It is indeed a rare phenomenon. But if a ring is desperately needed, and there is no power, one can try to share their own or induce Power in another person. It’s a rather risky venture, but sometimes it’s the only way out…

            The probability of meeting a soulmate is low, but it is proportional to the energy of luck and the personal Power of those seeking it. There is always a cubic millimeter of chance!

          • Enmerkar, thank you for your understanding… It is doubly sad that people carry them to the thrones themselves. ‘Only what happens to a person can be done by the person themselves.’ ‘Mobius’s rakes)))’ So it turns out that from love to hate is just one step, plus a turn of 180 degrees.

            ‘Do not burden your heart with love that you cannot bear,’ said one sage. This assertion is certainly debatable, but it seems that noncompliance with this rule is one of the reasons for the victories of demons and broken hearts…

            What do you think?

          • One acquaintance of mine tried to do it this way. It resulted in a heavy burden above, attacks from all sides, and a complete uncertainty about where to go. She did not know how to behave. Panic, confusion, doubts. She could not carry it. Not only could she not maintain the vessel of love, but she also shattered her own vessel of consciousness. She nearly lost her mind. For a couple of years, she was food for predators. She likely clawed her way back thanks to the denial of the hostile reality and still her innate ability to crystallize consciousness. From her former self, about ten percent remains.
            Seven years ago she was very close to the themes of this blog. I invited her here – but I did not find her here, which is symbolic.
            ————-
            As long as love cannot be integrated into the manifest world, it is rather destructive for those who carry it. And demons watch from the sidelines, laughing and waiting for their moment.

          • You know, I also had that moment when I worried about my psyche, and little from my former self remains:)
            I just try to get rid of those qualities that weaken, which, it seems, are demonic here; I can perceive this only as the concept of the ‘shadow.’ Perhaps the scenario of unfulfilled love is a wonderful opportunity to work on my quirks and use the unspent potential of that energy for my own development. And thanks to everyone for the replies, happy upcoming holidays!

          • I cannot be silent.
            A demon is not just a weakening quality. A demon is something external, different. It is not yours; it is someone else’s; it is something that is stronger than you and reacts to certain of your qualities, and when you do not have enough control over yourself, it may take possession of you.
            The reverse is equally true – if you fully control yourself and fully know yourself, then no demon can have power over you, even if you have ‘weakening’ qualities.

          • Are you involved in exorcism by chance? Otherwise, I can’t figure out whether demons have overtaken me or it’s just my soul feeling off 🙂

          • I have dozens of such observations. And over the years, their number only increases…

            I remember…

            Expanded within itself, the soul’s field of vision,
            Consumed by the whirlpool of chaotic ego,
            Unprotected from the familiar company of Essences.

            Here desires and fears take form,
            They are uncontrollable and multiply in the rhythm of ecstasy,
            Gathering under the threat of impending suffering.

            A parallel future that could have happened one day is blocked.
            Access inside the sacred sanctuary.
            They are the guardians.
            Who is the master of this cosmos?
            Who placed them here?
            Illumination of the past comes from within,
            And soars into the Eidolon.

            Portraits and marble busts silently aligned outside,
            Deep inside burdened with features that are self-deception,
            They seem to have perished in their reflections,
            And their laurel wreaths have withered.

            Now I know what the first amphibians felt,
            When they launched air into their lungs.

            The scepter has always been in my hand.

          • “As long as love cannot be integrated into the manifest world, it tends to be destructive for those who carry it. And the demons watch from the sidelines, laughing and waiting for their moment.”
            And they not only wait, but also actively interfere in the process.

            How to protect love from demonic attacks, from the increasing shell and sprouting Eitzohor?
            How can love be integrated into the manifest world, a world of mutual consumption, without degrading in the process?
            Has anyone here succeeded in doing this?
            If yes, then please share your experience! I believe, for many, this subject is interesting and urgent!

          • How to protect love from demonic attacks, from the buildup of chaff and the sprouting of Eitzachora? To know oneself, to know a friend, to know an enemy. To believe in oneself, to believe in a friend, to understand how an enemy behaves, not to be distracted by the unnecessary. To be able to pull a friend out of the claws of the enemy, even if the friend suddenly becomes an enemy. How can love be integrated into the explicit world, a world of mutual consumption, without degrading at the same time? Love is strong in movement. Love is needed by those in society. Love dissolves in stagnation. Predators love when the victim is available. Predators fear True Power. Love is strong in creativity.

          • Love itself is not destructive. What is destructive is the loss of love when you tumble from the heavens into the mundane. It’s probably like withdrawal for drug addicts. But the difference is that one cannot remain a drug addict for long, while loving all one’s life – one can. Because in this case only one’s own resources are used. That is, strength + open heart + genetic predisposition for each other and the possibility of living together.

          • The destructiveness of love lies in the fact that the energy flows of the lover significantly restructure, and then they need some space for activity. If there is no space, if the environment is hostile, and if the lover does not know how to manage their energy flows, then an open confrontation between them and the environment may occur, which can easily ruin both their life and the lives of those around them. They may even completely block their energy flows that are necessary for survival. There are more than enough examples in the world. “Will love save the world? Yes, if it doesn’t destroy it first.” Modern folk wisdom.

          • Good time. If you have both Strength and Love, and enemies – perhaps you have answers to the questions of the Observer?

          • Vision on the internet sometimes works even better than in everyday reality at least because there are fewer distractions behind the monitor.
            “If everything is done correctly, then no one notices anything.”
            Yes. If needed, those who must notice will notice.
            “There are no random acquaintances on the internet”
            I propose to view it from another angle. The word ‘random’ derives from ‘ray’; the letter ‘s’ indicates connection. Randomness is about the merging of occasions.
            That is, all events are random.
            Twenty-five years is indeed a long time. I have about the same amount of experience in the field of imagination. 10 frames per second? Acceptable speed. If I am in control of the situation, then it does not throw me off; rather, it starts to accelerate.
            The incident with the teacher is interesting. I analyzed it. There is enough material in this blog to understand why it happened.
            I will show how to utilize imagination to my advantage in this situation.
            1. Before the encounter with the teacher, you tune in and come up with new strikes, even if using elements from the teacher’s school.
            2. You project your successful combinations onto the arena where the confrontation will take place.
            (In the actual bout, you act a bit differently, there vision will work more, and as you say, ‘active consciousness/will’)
            3. Do not focus on the blocks/counterattacks from the teacher’s school. Instead, concentrate on transitioning to your invented strikes.
            Teachers are usually relaxed in their own territory and expect predictable behavior from you, resulting in a higher chance of getting a hit on them.
            (Not enough? Okay. Let’s say the teacher is now equal, not a mentor.)
            4. Do you feel in control of the situation? Is the active consciousness functioning, you are managing it, and you have free resources? Engage your imagination. During a strike/block, draw the next strike.
            5. Fed up with the monotony of your own techniques, lacking inspiration? This is one reason for fatigue and losing. Take the four elements. Be, for example, fire. Shift when you get tired, for example, to wind + fire. Your strikes will change. Your vision and perception will change. Then let one hand become earth, the other – water, while your feet are fire.
            6. Divide your outgoing flow into two. In one flow, you will imagine strikes; in the other, you will deliver real ones (others). This is necessary to confuse the opposing vision.
            7. Play with the enemy’s energy. Absorb their strike, hit them with their own energy multiplied by yours.
            8. Too harsh? Know your opponent, love them. Infuse your strike with what they are lacking. Then be amazed at how their facial expression changes. =)
            9. Infuse the duel with experiences from your life. Let it not just be ‘a kick,’ but for example, ‘a foot expelling Belphegor’ or ‘a hand uniting the heart.’ The more you infuse, the more power there will be in the duel.

            “Hostile entities know how to manipulate the imagination… They are usually more intelligent, clever, faster…”
            Yes, they do. And the imagination is trained just like, for instance, Chin-na.
            There are its own blocks/strikes/counterattacks/grabs.

            “Regarding the rings of Power. It is indeed rare. But if a ring is desperately needed, and there is no Power, you can try to share your own or induce Power in another person. It’s a rather risky endeavor, but sometimes it is the only way out…” I have still been left with an overwhelming self-esteem for the encircled and a bunch of obligations upon myself, experiencing love without Power, which turns out to be absurd.
            “The probability of meeting a soulmate is low, but it is proportional to the energy of luck and the personal Power of those seeking it.”
            You are right. I will just note that the mere meeting doesn’t provide much. In my opinion, a meeting is appropriate when there is a further opportunity for developing events.

    • Frater_K.B.V, the topic is indeed complex and interesting.

      I continue in theses. One who understands will piece it together.
      There is another side to imagination.
      Anima and Animus, as desired images of her/him – do not just appear out of nowhere.
      Modern reality is deceptive. Distractors are everywhere. Many deceptive images surround us.
      He could be her Animus in his own idea. But in reality something entirely different, because that’s how it needs to be. Reality carries the imprint of the past.
      She can be his Anima, but won’t become so in reality without him.
      Very often, the current correspondence is eventually perceived as a ‘transmission error,’ as unreal, impossible, frightening, incomprehensible, and destructive.
      Ideally, her Animus should completely match him, just as his Anima should match her.
      The power of imagination will help to see each other.
      A series of images in imagination here is the guiding thread.

      In reality, things usually don’t go according to plan, and often situations occur like the one described above.

      Every ‘jerk’ can ideologically be someone’s Animus, just as every ‘bitch’/’whore’ can be someone’s Anima – ideologically.

      And the ‘right guy’ may not correspond to her idea at all.

      • There is a principle of correspondence, although total correspondence does not exist. There is a principle of non-correspondence, but total non-correspondence also does not exist. Acceptance of only that which corresponds to the essence (the voice of the heart) of the mage limits the worldview and forms the reflection of only a part of the universe. Acceptance of all without discernment – mutually neutralizes essences and generates primordial chaos (universal nothingness), which also does not contribute to the realization of the mage’s path.

        Acceptance of all (and everything) in the part where they correspond to one’s own essence, and KNOWING in the part where they do not correspond, is the middle way of development.

        Love is magical unification based on the CORRESPONDENCE of the subject and the object of love (people, mages, and other forms of LIVING AND NON-LIVING beings capable of love). Love is the unification of Correspondences – both true and projected.

        The emergence of love is preceded by a feeling or awareness of kinship with the TRUE ESSENCE of the object of love. As mentioned above, total correspondence does not exist (and it is impractical, for it would lead to reflection in oneself). The missing part of the correspondence is filled in by the lover. They ‘dress’ their own mental ideal image – PROJECTION onto the object of love, concealing with this projection the non-corresponding parts of the true essence of their beloved.

        If the Projected part of the correspondence significantly exceeds the True one – love is unbalanced and can fade away as the true essence of the object of love begins to manifest due to the Projection. The very manifestation over time of the NON-CORRESPONDENCE of the projection and the true essence is perceived quite painfully. Similarly painful is the absence of response from the object of love.

        The ability to love is formed by the Power and Intention to LOVE. The ability to be loved is formed by the Power and Intention to BE LOVED. Love is a realization just like the entire path (rather, it is part of it). It is wiser to combine both intentions, even at the level of instincts and subconscious feelings – then the proportion of the Projected may be less while that of the True correspondence is greater.

        Outside of love, it is impossible to provide effective magical assistance (though it can easily be harmful). Penetrating into the true essence of the object of assistance (or the object of creation) is always accompanied by establishing correspondence between the Mage and the object. The correspondence can be both True and temporary – Projected. In this situation, it is crucial to project it consciously already, to form a temporary correspondence. Certainly, there is a chance for stabilizing correspondences and forming love, and as a consequence – GREAT MAGIC (Pygmalion and Galatea).

  5. Of course, such a guy appears in the eyes of his wife as a ‘real jerk,’ while in his own eyes he appears as a ‘real man.’ And a good wife for him is one who does not hinder him from being a real jerk… oh, excuse me, a man, and a bad one is one who nags him for such behavior. Well, the duration of the wife’s love for such a jerk… oh, pardon me, for such a man is precisely equal to the duration of her faith that such a subject will change someday.

  6. A person consists of all Forces. If you want to know yourself, know the Forces. All of this coexists harmoniously within a person. And you, Frater, are right, for there are the Forces of Creation and the Forces of Changes.

  7. Dear Theo. People who possess all of the above you mentioned do not linger on esoteric websites; they have outgrown them. As for the Observer’s questions, there are answers in principle, but my experiences of stepping into a state of love differ from yours and from the Observer’s notions of love. How can love be integrated into the explicit world – it’s quite simple – you are simultaneously in both states, subjectively they merge into one, something very harmonious and spiritual. The main thing here is not to lose control from an excess of emotions and opening perspectives, which is the very field for activity you mentioned, and which is actually huge, as it brings understanding of many things, phenomena, and, to speak pompously, the secrets of the universe.

  8. I see you are very experienced in matters of love. I have one question about the freedom of choice. When it comes to the relationship between two, each of them has this freedom and accordingly chooses. And chooses not in favor of the other, let’s say. Or not quite, their so-called ‘life baggage’, parasites, demons, and all that. So what is the other one supposed to do in this case? To pretend that everything is fine? Or, as people say, ‘to fight fire with fire’? Or to imperatively state ‘I choose to be happy’, in spite of all enemies, ignoring that their soul is in a bad state? Thank you in advance.

  9. ‘Consciousness… can successfully find its reflections in another consciousness – provided that there is resonance between them.’ In my teenage years, I developed a protective rule: to pay attention to the opinion of myself only from my special people, those I respect and love. I can imagine how hard it must be for children in regular schools to reflect in dozens of crooked mirrors daily! And how to treat with the well-known principle of mirrors: what you dislike in others, look for in yourself? So ‘resonance’ may not only be positive?

  10. Dear Master Enmerkar. Even when I simply write “thank you” almost after each of your publications, it is actually a tiny fraction of the gratitude I feel towards you. Your words go straight to my heart/consciousness/soul. Thank youuuu.

  11. Hello, Master! All our history is intertwined and written about those who were able to rise to the realms of the gods. It would be interesting to read about those who have risen to us from infernal worlds.

    • Hello. Yes, there are also many such stories; history knows examples when former demons became helpers, protectors, and made significant progress.

      • Hello, dear Enmerkar. Could you please 1.–provide examples of such former demons? 2.–is it possible at all to cooperate/summon the demons of Goetia in terms of getting assistance from them (money, status, healing karmic wounds, etc.) safely for the magician (so that it is evolutionary for him and not destructive for his consciousness)? Thank you.

        • Hello. Many rulers of antiquity claimed themselves (or were said about them) that they came from Below. Eastern traditions are particularly rich in such tales. As for the “cooperation” with demons, I have written about this more than once: such “cooperation” is always a losing proposition; a demon can provide some “goods,” but will always require an unjustified price for them. To hope that one can “come to terms” with an ancient predator or, moreover, “outsmart” them is, to say the least, naive. Any goods that can be “obtained” from a demon are merely bait on a fishing hook.

          • Thank you very much for your answer. I agree with your view regarding demons. However, there is still a little confusion with your previous answer, where you said that “history knows examples where former demons became helpers, protectors, and made significant progress.” How can they, being predators simultaneously (or evolving), be both helpers and protectors? If it’s not too much trouble, could you clarify please?

          • I am talking about “former” demons, who have changed their life wave and have effectively gained a soul. In some cases, more often out of obligation (since demons, like angels, cannot lie), demons make a promise to serve a particular person (or god), as a result of which they can be reborn as humans, that is, emerge from their predatory conditioning. Such a being can, of course, “remember” its destructive roots, but can also change its nature.
