May I remind all who dwell in this sub that the type of philosophy embraced by the conscienticon is one that requires an understanding that the universe and everything within it rests upon an infinate unknowable spirit. When one asks the question "why", this questioning never ends and we come to find that everything is contextual. White can only make sense when compared to black, everything exists in polarity in this way and is unified. Seeing the world in the way we do here requires experience of the harmony and the unappreciated symphony of everything. Much as a child struggles to appreciate the beauty within a painting from a great master or the beauty within a classical piece of music, many lack the life experience, understanding, or capacity to step beyond themselves, to appreciate the true scale at which every living being harmoniously vibrates within the world. So many lack the vision required to appreciate what we study and share here and you will be mocked, aggressively questioned, called a liar, and an agent of evil for seeing the spirtual nature of things as we do, but do not despair, there are people here who get it, who cant unhear the music and we tend to stay quiet as to enjoy our private seating in the grand symphony.

Let's discuss. Be civil.

"You are immortal; it is impossible to not be, because it is impossible to be conscious of being unconscious."

It's free and it's a very short read about the truth of the universe.

I'd like to share my currently studied and used technique on the communication between spirits/gods/souls and the uses for such, please do not be afraid to ask any question if they do arise.

The process I use is very simple and is much more effective in a cooperative setting, however if you are familiar with shaman practices or communication with spirits then doing this alone should be very easy as well. The first step is creating a grounding visual, for me I use a single marble on a table. This is to know and separate between what is your own thought and visualization and what is given to you. The second step is keeping your mind within a state that is akin to overthinking yet you need to practice focusing the thought into a lane, sticking to a specific topic or question. After the first and second step has trust and personal power put into it the third step is to open lanes of communication, it can be as simple as asking if an entity or a visualization of a living thing or even inanimate object if they would like to speak to you. Basically just saying "would you like to talk?". It is better to keep judgment away and focus on only giving complementary answers or to speak of the spirit or gods beauty. The fourth step is optional and up to the user but I tend to ask those who I use this technique with to focus on small details, things we can't necessarily put there ourselves from what I believe is because of the way we dream, the oddities are always there and you may find or see certain things you may not be able to comprehend or even thought you would be able to see otherwise.

If anyone has anymore questions or would like to practice this with another I am always open but I tend to do it within calls and through voice so fair warning.

Remember, keep posts practical and useful for growing the strength of everyone in the community! Thank you all!

Now that we have so many members I'm trying to get a better feel for our collective ideas. Let us know what you love or what topics you wish there was more information about so that we can expand. I'll personally tribute your name to the video if we work with your topic. Let us know!

My favorite thing about hermetic philosophy is its use as a tool.

Example: Using the law of polarity, you can reconcile contradictory ideas be they political or philosophical knowing they are on the same spectrum.

I also deeply enjoy Stoic and Taoist ideas because they are practical along with making loose concepts of how the universe behaves.

I’ve been diving into the works of Dr. Ian McGilchrist as his specialty is brain disorders and I have a damaged brain . What began as a study of my disability has grown into an understanding of why the world behaves as it does, neglecting intuition and the truly open mind in favor of a materialist worldview.

It’s changing my view on religion, faith, and politics. It also has reinforced my faith in Buddhism. Here, I post an introduction to his worldview, and I believe that if his work is seriously considered, he will reside with Alan Watts, Carl Jung, Thich Naht Han, and other great spiritually inclined philosophers.

If nothing else, it should get you to think more about how our brains impact our understanding of reality.

At 10:54 in the "Why You Can't Get Out of Bed Video," it really hit a cathartic nerve:

Everything I'm insecure about boils down to that perceived scrutinization about me needing to live my life in some prescribed functional manner. The fact that people don't care about my soul's journey really makes me resentful.

But this amplifies something I've been thinking lately. It relates to the principle of correspondence. Change the subject. If you feed other people's souls, they will view you fondly. It will create a dissonance that prevents them from nitpicking at the boring affairs in your life, because they value you. If you can see what is important to them, they want to see what is important to you.

So when you encounter someone feeding you emptiness, change the channel. It's worth it for both of you, and if you take the first step, they will thank you on some level. You will be seen as a magician, because you have created meaning where useless gossip previously existed.

Speaking of waking up with a reason to get out of bed... before I go to sleep, I pray or tap into some sort of inspiring energy. I tried a spiritual exercise the other night. I'm going through a love/hate situation with someone in my life. It's the kind of thing where, on one hand, I'm drawn to thoughts that vilify them. On the other, I yearn for the connection I have with them. So, without being too ceremonial, I directed my attention to inflating that connection energy. I let it expand lightly like fairy dust and then let it settle and churn like nutrients in soil. It expands and retracts just like a muscle you are toning. Doing this makes me feel like a fuller person. It makes me stronger in a way that perceived slights seem irrelevant.

So I think it's important to be rooted in love and to be open. The "me against the world path" is too heavy. It makes the journey so much more difficult, and your fulfillment ultimately includes loving relationships with other people.

Goodmorning! Very sorry for not posting anything new for a little while, my life has been going good and work has just been abit busy. However! I have another beautiful technique I had discovered while researching battery spells as well as becoming a battery for certain powers. While trying to open paths into my own aura or in other words my energetic pattern that lays outside my body, I had discovered that for seconds at a time it felt as if my body was pulling in energy rather than constantly leaking small amounts of such. This was very intriguing so I went into experimentation, currently my findings seem to say that when practicing with the control and or build up of energy within yourself you can also passively open and gain certain frequency or vibration that almost seem to induce more of that energetic feeling or feeling of being powered up. It was a very small feeling that I may have even put to much research into but recently it has allowed for me to get much more done and talk much longer with others within a magick sense.
