Seeking enlightenment?

I have already seen this for a couple of times.
Young guy wants to study yoga, or chi kung, or whatever, and he seeks enlightenment.
There is nothing wrong with that, just that these requests usually gets flooded by articles about various yoga and chi kung exercises.

Why is that wrong? Important part of the request is "seeks enlightenment" and you don't want to learn about enlightenment from non-enlightened person same as you don't want to learn swimming from non-swimmer.

And these non-enlightened "helpers" will then take our pitiful friend and flood him with a massive list of dogmas and meaningless exercises. Will it help our friend to attain enlightenment? Of course not, they will send the list just because they do the same exercises and sub-consciously they want some sort of external verification (it's good for anyone, right?).

When person is not enlightened then you cannot await enlightenment by doing same exercises that the person does.

But dude, I do not practice long enough to be enlightened, but these things really work

Nope. Until you gain enlightenment, this is just guessing. It's a guessing during self-study and it's a guessing even when you are led by some master, till you attain enlightenment, don't try to help anyone who seeks enlightenment by burdening him with your theory.

Simple Sumerian Banishing Ritual

In this simple ritual we will call two entities that were given to Marduk. Nariluggaldimmerankia, guardian of Igigi and Annunaki, enemy of all maskim and rabishu, and we will also call Asaruludu, ruler of the flame sword, giver of the perfect defense. I am a bit tired now to give any more details, so here we go: 1) Face north and take a couple of deep breaths 2) Center and ground yourself (as described in How to begin with practical Magick article) 3) Call the word of Nariluggaldimmerankia, the word is BANRABISHU. Call this word to each direction, when you are done, turn back to north. This should clean the space of all negative energy, no matter if it consisted of negative emotions like anger, fear, frustration, negative entities like demons, larvae or some curse. 4) Call the word of Asaruludu. Proceed the same way as in step 3, call his word in each direction. His word is BANMASKIM. 5) Enjoy the effects. This ritual is very simple, words of power can be easily memorized and

Art of Shinobi: Simple Protection Ritual

Image
Introduction I made my mind to slow down during holidays and return to my old hobby from the childhood: ninjas. As an occultist I have found few jewels. These jewels certainly weren't created by ninjas, but they were extensively used by them, given by the time, place and tradition. Kuji Kiri Kyu - nine Ji - syllable(s) Kiri - cut(s) Kuji Kiri is a simple ritual of doing nine cuts in the air with your hand, each of them being associated with one syllables. Sorted syllables and meanings associated in Ninjutsu are: RIN - power PYO (or HYO or KYO) - energy channeling TOH - harmony (with the universe) SHAH - healing of self and others KAI - intuition, sense of danger JIN - telepathy, reading thoughts of others (can also be used for suggestion) RETSU - control of space and time ZAI - control of heaven and earth (control of elements) ZEN - enlightenment To say more of the syllables we would have to mention its chinese origin and I am not really a histo
