For the Seeker

Because others say it much better than I, and I am not so much interested in being the reason one wakes up, but that one wakes up; I am known to use whatever means necessary. In light of this I am quoting, extensively as they say, from two books I synchronized recently in my life.  They clearly say what I have been talking about in their own way, which I find to be quite lucid. 

Let us start with the master, from "The Religious and Psychological Problems of Alchemy" introduction to Psychology and Alchemy, The Collected Works of C. G. Jung, vol 12, Bollingen Series "When I say as a psychologist that God is an archetype, I mean by that the "type" in the psyche. The word "type"is, as we know, derived from "typos," "blow" or "imprint"; thus an archetype presupposes an imprinter. Psychology as the science of the soul has to confine itself to its subject and guard against overstepping its proper boundaries by metaphysical assertions or other professions of faith. Should it set up a God, even as a hypothetical cause, it would have implicitly claimed the possibility of proving God, thus exceeding its competence in an absolutely illegitimate way. Science can only be science; there are no "scientific" professions of faith and similar "contradictiones in adjecto." We simply do not know the ultimate derivation of the archetype any more than we know the origin of the psyche. The competence of psychology as an empirical science only goes so far as to establish, on the basis of comparative research, whether for instance the imprint found in the psyche can or cannot reasonably be termed a "God-image." Nothing positive or negative as thus been asserted about the possible existence of God, any more than the archetype of the "hero" proves the actual existence of a hero."

One of Carl Jung's students sums this up by saying: This fact of the existence in the psyche of an archetype that man has termed "god," and its actualization through the impact on the conscious mind, takes us to the end of our empirical and psychological statements. All that we can say, strictly speaking, is that religion is a fundamental activity of the human mind, and that there exists an archetypal image of the deity deeply and indestructibly engraved in our psyche. Psychology cannot prove or disprove the existence of God; what it can prove, however, is the existence of an archetypal image of God, the "Self." Here, then, psychology and religion both part and meet, facing each other from different sides of the frontier. All that psychology can legitimately do is to look across and accept the possibility that the "God within us"corresponds to a transcendental reality."

Before we go any further, let's remember one of my favorite quotes that I use in this blog, my boy Hermes Trismegistus. "As above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul." This is a fractal. Our ego is the center of our consciousness, and the Self is the center of the unconscious. It is imperative to understand the metaphor. Do not confuse the god in our collective minds, with the thing that created the Universe. If we could somehow magically snap our fingers and make everything our unconscious is doing conscious we would think we were god. In other words, all the things our Self is doing at any given moment is all the stuff humans have attributed to god. Just because they attributed what they could not see to god, doesn't mean it was the thing that actually created the Universe doing all that work. 

God in this sense is the historical one, the active god in our lives, our own unconscious.  The guy in the sky is our own psyche, and all of our psyche's are connected. Now the thing that made the Universe itself is unknowable. No one knows anything about whatever that is. So you see we are talking about two different things when the word god is used, and no where ever am I talking about the thing that actually created existence. That thing cannot be talked about because no one knows anything about it. It's a simple logical line, if we know nothing of something it might as well not exist, or we would know something about it. 

So here, the word god is synonymous with Self, our total Self, our entire psyche, conscious and unconscious. Dreams are the way our unconscious self, speaks to our conscious self, and it does this using symbols. If you compared your conscious aspect with your unconscious aspect, the conscious aspect, the ego, is so limited and so small, that the unconscious is metaphorically speaking god. It simply takes both a bunch of studying the unconscious, and a lot of first hand experience to realize this as a fact.

These next quotes are from the book Dreams: God's Forgotten Language by John A. Sanford. This book would be an excellent book on dreams for someone who is not familiar with Carl Jung. It is not full of technical terms, and one would not need a dictionary much, that being said, one would need a lot more information beyond this book to properly understand exactly what is going on behind the veil of consciousness.

The title of the chapter is The God Within, and it is the last chapter of the book, in which he is properly summing up his thought. He is here talking about the psychological progression that humans have had about god in our recorded history of the last two thousand years or so.

"Consider polytheism as an example. The belief in many gods, goddesses, demons, and spirits was grounded upon the complexity of the psychic forces within us, which were projected outside of us in personified form. So real were these psychic realities that the Fathers of the church never denied their existence. The Fathers simply made it clear that what the pagans took to be gods were in fact demons; lesser psychic powers not meriting worship but nonetheless real.

For instance, consider the goddess Aphrodite. A man falls in love. This has the effect of releasing in him an unexpected flow of energy and passion that was not previously felt by him consciously but was in an unconscious, latent state. He is no longer the same man as he was but is transformed. Because ancient peoples knew they were not the master of this new emotion, but rather it mastered them, they quite reasonable felt themselves affected by a divine being. In the case of the Greeks they named her "Aphrodite." We now can say in view of modern psychology that it is the man's anima who infuses him with this feeling, and floods him with this new energy. But a rose by any name smells just as sweet, and has just as many thorns! Or take the idea of a demon. The ancients would see a man possessed by something that infuses him with a violent energy and destroys his ability to control himself. Anyone could see at a glance the man was possessed by a power superior to that of his ego. The ancients called this superior, possessing energy a "god,"in this case a "demon god." Today we would say the ego is possessed by an autonomous complex, a buried complexity of emotion that suddenly erupts to engulf the ego."

He ends the book with; Jung devoted his lifetime to he description of the process by which the whole person in us is realized. He calls this process individuation. Complete and complex as his description is, there remains much more to be discovered: Realizing our psychic totality is a task of a lifetime. The moments of religious insight when for an instant we know ourselves to be utterly, wonderfully whole are the rare exceptions. Furthermore, realizing our psychic totality is not something we accomplish in isolation. the life of the whole person will necessarily involve us in the lives of our fellows and in the conflicts of our time. Throughout this process of realizing the whole person within us we will be vexed by the need for a continual and painful surrender of our egocentricity. For this is not a process the ego commands, but which it serves; the conscious mind must accept, and consider, the higher authority of the Self. Our dreams are the voice of this higher authority: the God within. And if this God is identical with the final order and meaning of the universe, then our dreams express the will of the transcendent God as well."

Can you see? The ego is subservient to the unconscious; metaphorically we are subservient to god, to our Self. This author is a priest so his job depends on him believing in a transcendental god. This is not my concern though in waking people up. It doesn't matter whatsoever if there is or isn't a creator of the Universe if one cannot even find their own Self. Again: What does it matter if there is or isn't a transcendental god if one cannot even find their own Self.

Now we are going deep. This book Ego and Archetype by Edward F. Edinger is godly. It's unbelievably good. I can't say it enough. The last chapter is called The Philosophers' Stone, and in it he translates into modern language a definition given of the Philosophers' Stone by a famous alchemist, Elias Ashmole. Ashmole had compiled what would be today an enormous amount of historical alchemal information in the 1600s. Alchemy was another metaphorical system for the psyche, like all other religions. The following is the ending of the book, and to me is of the greatest importance because as a child I had both trauma and first hand experiences of the unconscious.

"This passage confirms an observation which has been gradually forming itself in my mind. It is my impression that those who go farthest in the process of individuation almost always have had some meaningful and indeed, decisive experience of the unconscious in childhood. Jung's childhood experience is an excellent example of this. What often seems to happen is that the inadequacies of the childhood environment or the child's adaptational difficulties, or both, generate a loneliness and dissatisfaction that throw him back on himself. This amounts to an influx of libido into the unconscious which is thereby activated and proceeds to produce symbols and value-images which help consolidate the child's threatened individuality. Often secret places or private activities are involved which the child feels are uniquely his and which strengthen his sense of worth in the face of an apparently hostile environment. Such experiences, although not consciously understood or even misunderstood and considered abnormal, leave a sense hat one's personal identity has a transpersonal source of support. They thus may sow the seeds of gratitude and devotion to the source of one's being which emerge in full consciousness only much later in life. 

The text says  this science can be taught only to a few. The knowledge of the archetypal psyche is indeed available only to a few. It derives from inner subjective experience which are scarcely communicable. However, the reality of the psyche is beginning to find witnesses for itself. The Philosophers' Stone is a symbol for that reality. There is a healing power in the images that cluster around this symbol. It is a potent expression of the source and totality of individual being. Whenever it appears in the process of psychotherapy it has a constructive and integrating effect. It is truly a pearl of great price.

This symbol developed over a period of fifteen centuries. It was enriched through the efforts of countless devoted men who were gripped by its numen. They worked largely alone, as individuals, without the supporting containment of an institution. They encountered dangers both from without and from within. On the one hand there were greedy princes and heresy hunters, on the other hand were the dangers of solitude and the activation of the unconscious which it brings. The history itself testifies to the power of the Lapis Philosophorum, a power capable of enlisting energies of so many talented men into its service. It is a grand symbol which has at last come within the reach of modern understanding."

Am I wrong? These men did some homework. Let's be clear though, every spiritual method, religion, philosophy, ever, had a different name of the same thing. Atman, Christ, Higher Self, Self, Soul, Spirit, the Romans called it the daimon. The Greeks used psyche. Take your pick. The alchemists used Philosophers' Stone because that kept them from getting murdered by the church. Their spiritual beliefs were hidden under the guise of actually trying to turn base metals into gold.  

If you would like to honestly know better what is going on in your own mind, I highly recommend the two books cited in this blog.  

Modern Magic

I recently finished a book by a famous Occultist who went by the name Dion Fortune titled Applied Magic. This book was so packed full of information that there is no way i could summarize it sufficiently for this blog, so I am going to talk about what is to me, the good stuff. One particular aspect of the book is relevant to what I've been writing about. I say, Pay Attention, because what I am gleaning from this book is incredibly important regarding our every day life.

Before I begin let's think about Dion Fortune. Google her, as I have done. I don't know a lot about her, other than what the casual internet search provides, and that she has written some very popular Occult books. I've been told she became Christian at the end of her life which apparently disappointed many occultists. It's my understanding that she studied what is popularly known as the Golden Dawn school of magic. Be warned, I have not sufficiently studied this topic, yet! I am far away from understanding the history of the different magic schools. I am not pretending to know either. I have simply taken the information gleaned from this book and am applying it to what I already know.

When I talk to people in person about the books, and things I study, they usually do not know what the word Occult means. I always tell them, it is the study of the things one cannot detect with the five senses. An Occultist uses, manipulates, and studies the forces that cannot be seen by the normal (five) monkey senses. Through out history many words have been given to this practice. I prefer the word Magic. Some have suggested this word is outdated, but I don't know another word to use. 

If one has the traditional American cultural software running their mind, then the unseen forces seem magical, mystical, and/or metaphysical. The typical in-cultured American individual has an extremely materialist view of Nature. Some would probably want to use the word scientific, but that's something I would argue, that these people have a scientific view. It should be clear by now though, by simply reading layman termed quantum physics articles, that there is much more going on behind the scenes than meets the eye. Remember, I've spent most of my research time attempting to turn metaphysical language into the physical, that is to say, there is a practical physical explanation for the unseen. There is a practical natural explanation for spiritual phenomenon. Physics in effect. The electromagnetic force is operating in our lives in scientifically undetectable ways. We must open our minds, beyond what this culture has taught us, to see what is really going on right in front of our faces. 

I'm not kidding, this book is packed with tons of information. Every page. Page after page. Having not studied magic yet, it seems to me she covers the basics. Even though I have not studied magic specifically, I have studied alchemy, and other esoteric topics. I highly recommend this book for the purposes of widening ones view of Nature, and human history. This magic business has been going on for quite awhile now. Like I said, one could say this is only a beginner book. It explains the general concepts. Dion Fortune defines the terms. It doesn't go into great detail regarding how to use magic per se. There are no spells in this book. No glyphs, graphs, or drawn symbols. No incantations or prayers. It simply explains the basis for Magic. I'm not going to cover all the different topics Fortune covered, that would make for another book. I'm going to cover the basis of what is magic, and what it means to us, here now, in my own electromagnetic terms. I could definitely say, that without some previous knowledge of the occult this book could potentially be difficult to read.

One of my favorite experiences of life, which happens to me regularly, is to learn things on my own, only to have the book synchronized after the fact. When I look back on many of the things I was doing, "back in the day", following my intuition, I would never have thought to call it magic. Back then I would have been like most people I know, and said Magic is horseshit, just like I used to say about astrology.

What is Magic? There is a popular quote by a famous anthropologist named Margaret Mead who said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." I wonder how she knew that? Did she study magic too? Because this quote is the very fundamental of magic. This quote summarizes Magic almost completely. 

Remember now that words are power. So for instance, if I use the wrong word, I may lose a certain number of readers. For instance, if atheists are reading this blog and I start talking about god; conversation is over for them. They will not hear what I am saying. They won't even attempt it. A hardcore atheist is so sure there is no god, they will not hear a word about it. It is possible I've lost readers just using the word magic. I am asking you to open your mind, to see past the words in order to see the thing of which I am talking about. Don't let the words prevent you from experiencing the phenomenon. It doesn't matter what words you want to use, the phenomenon is real, even if we can't physically see it. 

Dion Fortune used the word Elemental. I do not like this word. I played Dungeons and Dragons as a kid. I've read hundreds of fantasy books. For me, elemental is not the right word. I am going to use Force. Much like the Greek gods, and how they can be explained as forces in the Universe that operate within the collective human psyche. Dion Fortunes term, an Elemental, is too old school, I'm going to think of it as an electromagnetic force.

So what am I talking about? Put simply, using a very real hypothetical, let's say, we have an Occult Magician. Not what the typical American thinks of as a magician. I'm not talking about a stage performer creating illusions, and slight of hand tricks to fool the human senses. I'm talking about a Magician whose third eye is open, who has psychic abilities, who can sense the unseen, who has studied power. A magician who understands energy.  Dion Fortune would call such a person an Adept. Now let's say, this Adept, gathers up eight other people who do not necessarily have to be as aware, and the Adept uses powerful words and/or rituals to emotionally charge them, getting them to focus on something, a cause, an object, a purpose regarding some issue of choosing. This energy becomes it's own force, and as an Adept, that force can be used to effect reality.

Remember, Dion would call this force an Elemental. Another way to say it is, performing this type of collective function, creates a force within the collective conscious. An energy force is created within the electromagnetic field that is the psyche. This is not a joke. This is a real phenomenon. I imagine that for many readers the dismay occurs when it is said this force becomes it's own thing. I'll repeat it again; when this happens, even if it's not an Adept creating the situation, if a group of people come together and emotionally focus their energy, as a group, on a cause, or object, or idea: a separate force is created. The power of this force will depend on the particular details of the situation bringing it about. We're not going into that now. Study Occult Magic if you want to know the details.

 

Sit on this for awhile perhaps. Consider, how less aware monkeys are so easily influenced by external forces. How easily ignorant monkeys can be controlled, and swayed. Please consider that most people have no idea why they do what they are doing, even though they will most certainly have a story in their mind for why they do what they do. I mean, even science has proven this point; most people have no clue why they are really doing what they are doing. Look around....

It is only going to get deeper from here on out, hang on tight.

This force, once sufficiently created, will have a "mind" of it's own. It will be entirely separate of both the Adept, and the group who created it. It will be much like I've explained archetypes; once engaged it will run it's course. Once created it is literally its own thing. The more it is emotionally charged by a group of people, the more power it takes on, and as such, can eventually grow so powerful that it no longer needs the original group to exist. So if said group does not really know what they are doing, all manner of things can go wrong, even their own demise.  This force will seek to complete it's task even if the Adept falters in his powers. This force will be like our own minds, it will not check premises, it will simply follow it's suggestions to their logical conclusions.  Even crazier yet, this force will want to be human in the sense that it will want to grow and evolve. This makes sense when one realizes that it is operating within the collective human psyche.

Think of my favorite; the Lord Christ. How many people, how many churches, how many priests and preachers? How many fervent prayers have emotionally charged groups of people put into focusing on the Lord? Has not the Lord Christ become it's own force in Nature? Think about it. Does it matter if the man Jesus ever existed? If the story is true or not? Millions and millions of people have poured their emotional energy into the Force that is the Lord Christ, and because of this fact, that force operates as its own entity within the collective human psyche. It doesn't matter one bit if the story is true, if the bible is true, if organized religion is true; none of it matters: the Lord Christ is alive and well. That is fucking magic!

Do it. Invoke the Lord Christ into your life, and watch what happens. Center yourself, pour forth all your emotions, mean it within the depths of your heart; call upon the Lord Christ: watch what happens. By doing this, one will be inviting that force into their life, and like I've said, that force has a "mind" of it's own. No crazy spells are necessary, for the centering of one's self is the spell. If one uses rituals, and groups of others; the power of it will be beyond imagining. There is a saying though, be careful what one prays for, else you get it.  It is absolutely essential that one knows what they are doing regarding these forces. There have been many times in my life when I aligned my shit, got exactly what I asked for, and regretted it terribly. As they say, there are many paths up the mountain.

A personal way to think of magic is what I call notoriety. There is a particular way to go about it. At the time I was just following my intuition 100%.  I used to live in a small town, where it was possible to be known by a large percentage of the total population. In my mind I was practicing a tenet I had discovered in a book about practicing up in a small town before moving to a big one. During this time I consciously put forth energy into building and maintaining facades. That is to say, no one really knew who I was, what I was about, or what I was doing. I was practicing being mysterious. After overcoming my fear of being alone, I began pushing the limits. It no longer mattered to me what people thought, or if anyone really knew me or not. To the general population I was a mystery in the real sense. I purposefully made myself seem larger than life as they say. I had near full control of how others perceived me. Everything I did was calculated regarding how others perceived me.

At the same time I had what I called my inner circle. I had a small group of people, who did know me, who had my best interest in mind, and were praying for me regularly. These were my friends. This small group of people, obviously was emotionally charged regarding my well being. After reading this book Applied Magic, I realized I had a Force, with a mind of it's own, which I was intuitively aware of, even if I had no way of communicating it, of which I used to manifest the things I needed to achieve my personal goals. My friends and I unknowingly created this force. I didn't know anything about Magic at the time, so I merely referred to this force as my notoriety, my facades. It was this thing, this energy, "out there", that helped me along in life. Doing all of these things created huge amounts of energy in my life, such that I grew/matured faster, synchronized more, and accomplished more than I ever had up until that point in my life. It was magical. I'm not kidding; that time in my life was literally fucking magical. 

Because I was not a trained Adept, and did not consciously understand what I was doing, mistakes were made, but for the most part my intuition kept me on path. Sometimes that force, it often seemed like pure power, would go to my head and I would think that it was me doing certain things, when that was not necessarily the case. I also had the Lord Christ engaged in my life, so the lines would be hazy regarding what was what. For instance, there were many times when I would have psychic experiences, and then when the thing would happen, I would think that I had made those things happen by thinking it first. You know, that's some legit egomania. Even though I was wrong in thinking it was me creating the situation merely by my thoughts, this error caused me to become even more careful with my thoughts. It's weird how even mistakes turn into boons. The truth is, I was simply having a psychic experience, seeing the thing before it happened, but my ego believed it was I creating the event simply by thinking it. Self importance defined. It is not difficult to go insane once one has opened their third eye.

Whenever someone labels me a conspiracy theorist I always immediately know I'm dealing with someone who has done literally no homework at all. One must be in a complete state of ignorance to think that powerful greedy people do not conspire behind closed doors to maintain their wealth and power. I mean seriously, even at just regular jobs, the plebs are not allowed in the business meetings. Even the owners of small town businesses, mom and pops style, are meeting behind closed doors to discuss the manner in which they are going to maintain their wealth and power, but somehow, suddenly, those who control the populations are not doing this? Somehow, magically? Those with billions of dollars are not doing the same thing? That is absolutely fucking absurd. Let me assure you, the people who control the banks, the governments, the super large corporations, meet behind closed doors and conspire to maintain their wealth and power. They also use magic. Are they thinking of it like magic? Possibly not. Was I thinking of my notoriety as magic? I most certainly wasn't, yet there it was.

Think of any company with thousands of employees. Are not those employees emotionally charged regarding needing their pay checks? Do they not need their company to do well in order that they do well? What about all the stockholders needing that company to do well? What about all the family members of the employees and stockholders? Ends up being a large number of people involved. What are the board of directors discussing behind closed doors in private? Are they not deciding what to do with this force? As we've already seen, any group of people, emotionally focusing on an idea, a concept, a business, a person, anything; creates a force with a mind of its own.  Think of the magic of money itself. How many billions of people pray to the Force that is money every day, and then realize there is a small group of people, much like the Adept, who is control of said money. Think of the board of directors at the Federal Reserve. That money system practically runs the economic world.  I could make strong arguments that these people do in fact study how to control people; their wealth and power require it. Common sense they study population control. These are high level magicians; they rule the world.

Is not music a form of magic. I recently posted a meme about music. The top half was divided in two. On one side was Obama's inauguration ceremony from 2009 showing a large crowd of people, on the top right was Trumps from 2017 with even less people in the crowd. The bottom half of the meme was a Pantera concert with what seemed to be ten times as many people. I honestly don't know the head count of these events, but the quote by Dimebag Darrell reads, "Music drives you. It wakes you up, it gets you pumping. And, at the end of the day, the correct tune will chill you down." Even if one does not like heavy metal music, Pantera is adept at speaking to ones emotions. Think about the emotional power we've been speaking about. Why are some bands so successful, and others not? Notoriety? Someone behind the scenes being adept at what to do with the emotional energy they turn into a force of its own? Could we not say that Pantera is a force in and of itself, despite its individual band members? That is definitely fucking magic.

Think about the very idea of god. How did that come about? Would it not have all started, somewhere back in ancient history, with a small group of people emotionally charged, focusing on that idea, imbuing it with power. Sure, it started out as a small force. After millions of years of that happening, how many billions of people have emotionally prayed to god?  Who can know the power of that Force within the collective human psyche? Unimaginable am I right?

Can you not tell by now what is going on? Can you not see what I am explaining? There is a lot more to it of course. All the different levels and types of forces. There are Occultists who have broken it down into systems. I'm only breaking down the basics, the essence of this electromagnetic force that is what we are calling: Magic. There are an infinite number of these forces which have already been created in the past, of which a sufficient number of monkeys have imbued with energy, such that they exist on their own, and anyone with enough knowledge, even just a little, can access/invoke into their lives. It is not by any means only the Lord Christ that one can invoke.  

Using the old terms, (remember, don't get lost over the words) there are all manner of imps, fairies, sprites, elementals, saints, demons, angels, archangels, demi-gods, gods etc. If we tried to compile a complete list it would be enormous. On top of this there would be many different names for many of these forces. How many names does the Christian god have? All of these forces are operating within the human psyche, which means as far as being human goes: are as real as can be. They are very real forces, but are simply not measurable by modern science.

If you would like a better understanding of this topic, Dion Fortune's book Applied Magic is a good place to start. She does not hesitate to mention other authors, and books for one to read in order to attain a better understanding. I can't wait to get my hands on her other book The Mystical Qabalah.

 

If there is a lesson to be learned here, it is: Be careful what you do with your emotions.

Prayer Power

It is absolutely crucial regarding prayer, to understand what I'm saying without ever getting hung up on the specific details. It's a personal thing, and everyone is going to think of it differently. There are a million ways to explain the phenomenon, and I'm doing it using my terms. Try to grasp the concept, regardless of the system, and terms I use to explain it. 

I asked for prayers once upon a time in Facebook land, and shortly after, someone who doesn't exactly like me passive aggressively posted on their own page something about how does an atheist ask for prayers. I've spent a fair amount of time trolling organized religion, and often speak in terms of being atheist. Of course I chimed in and explained in short what prayer is, but here I'm going to go a little deeper. In a Christian culture if I were to ask for something other than prayer, practically no one would respond, and certainly very few people would actually pray for me. It doesn't matter what word we use if we understand that the human psyche is an electromagnetic force. Prayer is just easier to use since we are all immersed in this Christian culture. Everyone knows what the word prayer means more or less.

Now it's well known that scientist have studied prayer, and the results were at best not conclusive, and like a true American scientist, instead of admitting ignorance, they simply claimed prayer doesn't work. It couldn't possibly be that they don't understand reality enough to even study such a thing, am I right? Think about this in terms of how every day something that was once thought to be accurate is proved not to be so accurate within the scientific community. It happens daily, and often it is a huge difference that matters a great deal. I'm thinking of the microbiome as one of these issues. They really have no business saying one way or the other how things actually work in regards to interpreting their studies, especially since it has been proven that the results can be affected by the beliefs of the experimenter. I mean, that is literally prayer right there, in effect. Ones thoughts affecting results.

Scientists are as bad as preacher men.

Consider, they have scientifically proven that human desire, human thoughts, can affect the outcome of random number generators. Proven fact. A person can sit and focus on a random number generator giving certain results, and that RNG will be moved from average. Do you understand what I'm saying? It's a small variance, but a human exerting mental electromagnetic energy at a digital device, causes variance in the results versus an RNG that no one is focusing on. I say, that is prayer. One is directing their mental energy at an object and affecting how it operates; again: that is prayer. All of a sudden it doesn't work because one is directing their energy at a human instead of an electronic device? Give me a break. Someone needs to slap these "scientists" out of their egomania.

If one understands that the psyche works as an electromagnetic force, and that our entire material world, specifically our bodies are actually just condensed electromagnetic fields, then it should be quite obvious how complicated something like prayer is. For instance, how could one measure such a thing like, whose prayer is strong, and whose is weak? When is a persons prayer power stronger, or weaker? There are a lot of other variables that cannot be controlled, so studying prayer scientifically is at this time practically impossible.

One should have a decent grasp of the terms I'm using. Please refer to previous blogs. The psyche is an electromagnetic force. The Universe is a fractal, fractaling. The human unconscious, which is the Universe, doesn't check premises. Thoughts, the monkey mind, that voice in our head, is just the voice of our mind, speaking in pure electromagnetic waves, which do not degrade over time, or distance, unlike our physical speaking voice which speaks in sound waves, which do degrade over time and distance. The body, the mind, the unconscious, the monkey mind; it's all the same thing: the total mind. I'm only using labels to explain the situation. By saying body, it's still the mind, but the body does things the monkey mind doesn't, and the unconscious does things the body can't, but all in all, it's all one thing.

To counter the complicatedness of prayer I'm going to add what maybe the most important piece of the puzzle. Please consider, that being the result of millions of  years of evolution, having evolved perfectly to this electromagnetic environment, that the body knows exactly what to do at all times. It is only our thinking voice, that most of us improperly identify with, that has no clue what is going on, and that if one admits this, and just gets out of one's own bodies way; the body handles business. Keep this in mind at all times when praying; let the body, the unconscious, do the work; simply use the monkey mind to direct the body if it seems necessary. Remember, our unconscious does not check premises, so if one is going to direct their prayers, use the thinking mind, the monkey mind, to direct it: without thinking one knows what is best; the body will do what is best.

To put this into context, I generally only pray for two things. The truth no matter what the cost, and whatever is best for me. You see, I know with my thinking, I have no clue looking into the future what is best for me, but I know my unconscious does, so I pray for whatever is best, and then take whatever comes my way with that in mind. It is that simple. I'll return to this topic at the end of the blog.

Prayer is going to be extremely complicated in reality. The previous paragraph is only one kind of prayer. I think if we wanted to, we could say that all energy leaving the mind is prayer. Technically speaking we are praying at all times, on many different levels, at many different intensities. I'm not going to try to systematize this process. Trying to explain it with words is going to bring about contradictions. Trying to explain it in totality would only bring about confusion. I'd rather simplify it.

It has a lot to do with what I pointed out in the blog about the unconscious. If on a deep level we believe we are losers, that means our unconscious is praying a loser prayer, and since the unconscious prays at a greater intensity than our monkey mind, then praying for something that is not loser with our monkey mind is technically counter productive. Almost always the unconscious is going to win, so to speak. How will we be able to measure which is the stronger electromagnetic force emanating from our body? Or, are we putting out equal force, a loser belief, and a thought based prayer, and like light waves do they are canceling each other out? Only personal experience will tell us which is which, because we are all operating at our own frequencies.

I should point out a distinction with the monkey voice. Let's say that for the most part, particularly to an untrained thinker, the monkey mind is a very narrow, directed, weak light. Like a cheap store bought flash light. In terms of prayer, the monkey voices' real strength is in guiding the unconscious. In other words, it is most powerful when it is shining inward, not outward. The more of the unconscious one brings into consciousness is what will upgrade the store bought flashlight. Let's say compared to the unconscious, the monkey mind is like a regular flash light, and the unconscious is like the sun. So you see, an enlightened gurus thoughts are going to be a lot more like the sun, than that puny flash light most of us are walking around with. Buddha, or the Lord Christ were like the sun with their thoughts.

Let's say someone is sick, while I am not, and they ask me for prayers. I make this distinction because if one is sick their prayer power is going to be low, weak, unhealthy light. When someone is sick they shouldn't be praying at others because this amounts to sending sick energy to a sick person, when a sick person needs healthy energy, obviously. It is said that a sick person praying for someone will actually make them more sick instead of helping them. You've been warned.

So let's say you're healthy, and someone asks for prayers. The way I tell people is, to imagine healing energy, whatever that may be for you individually.  Maybe like me, it's the Lord Christ. I hold an image of the Lord in my mind, beaming, radiating white light, and I imagine that white light passing through me, and as it comes through me, I guide it with my mind, using the monkey voice, my inner thoughts, imagination, visualization, to direct it towards the person asking for prayers, imaging them being bathed in the Lord's light, as it passes through me. I use my mind to direct it at the person needing help. Remember, the unconscious does not check premises, and the Universe is the unconscious, so I don't doubt whatsoever; I know it works.

Please refer to the placebo effect, and instantaneous healing. These things are scientific facts regardless of whatever pharmaceutical medicine your family doctor may tell you that you need.

Maybe for you it is the Mother Earth, or the Sun, or a goddess, or god, or maybe it's a peaceful feeling.  Maybe it is the Lord Krishna, Buddha, or just your own inner light. You see, here it does not matter what you use mentally, what matters is that one is imaging a healing energy, and that one is directing it towards another person. One can also unfocus the energy, and just radiate it outwards in all directions, as in praying for world peace, or praying for a community as a whole. One does not only have to direct it to some specific person, or idea. Some people use feels, some imagery, some words, some just use thoughts. Everyone is different. These technicalities do not matter so much as one grasps the concept. Prayer is that simple.

What makes it complicated is all the different prayers happening simultaneously. Not only within one particular individual, but also that every human alive is praying constantly, with every thought, with every mindset, with their unconscious, at all times.

So now I'm arguing with the scientist who claim to have disproved that prayer works. I say all illness is psychosomatic. If placebo effect is real, and it is, and if instantaneous healing is legit, and it is, then all sickness is psychosomatic. So if we are praying for someone who refuses to change spiritually, we might as well be the person with a loser mindset praying or a good job. We are being counter productive. You know, praying for healing for the person with cancer, who refuses to quit smoking or eating fast food. That's counterproductive. Unless, you are like me and pray for whatever is best. I don't know what is best for someone else. I don't have an expectation of outcome. For all I know they need wrecked by cancer. By doing this, one is praying for the situations in life to cause that person to realize they must quit smoking and eating fast food. And here lies the crux of the whole thing. Bring about the realization that one must quit smoking is going to be a situation that entails suffering; like being sick with cancer.

Do you understand what I am saying? If you pray for someone who smokes cigarettes and eats fast food to be healed, you may be praying that they get even more cancer, because cancer will be the thing that causes them to wake up to the fact that they must quit smoking and eating fast food. Think about how many people do not change until shit is so dire they are about to die.  I've written about this before, if suffering is the teacher, and learning, growing in consciousness is the purpose of life, then suffering is a good thing. Many people who pray expect only a "good" outcome, and then say they failed at praying because they did not get a "good" result.  Do you see how complicated this just got?

Let me personalize it for you. Let's say you are like me, and most people are, and like me, in your twenties, you had no idea what the hell was going on. I was terribly afraid to be alone. I had no self-esteem. I pretty much just flat out hated myself, yet I was praying for the perfect woman. Any guesses what kind of woman my prayers got me? I got the kind of woman that wrecked my life, so that I learned my lessons, so that the next woman was a little better. I kept learning my lessons, and then the next woman was even better. You see what I am saying? No amount of prayer is going to materialize end game scenario. The prayers are going to materialize the things one needs to get to the end game scenario. Who in their twenties is ready for a perfect mate? One has to grow up a ton, mature like a boss, to get their spiritual mate. That is never going to come easy for anyone. 

All the time I see people doing this exact thing; praying for end game results without having done any of the work to even remotely deserve end game results. As if. It's a victim mentality that I know all too well. Egomania in effect. Looking back, married as I am now I can see that all my prayers were answered, because I learned my lessons, and took on the suffering. I can see too, that I created more suffering than was necessary by being a victim to the idea that I did not get what I prayed for. I'm saying, I created more suffering by telling myself I wasn't worthy of getting what I was praying for because the "perfect" woman never showed up in my twenties. What showed up was the perfect woman to teach me the lessons I needed to one day be able to be with the perfect woman.

I eventually realized the kind of woman I wanted didn't want a guy like me. You see what I'm saying?

Being that our unconscious is literally the Universe; it knows exactly what we need. In this sense there isn't even really a need to pray for one's self at all; it's already happening: All of the time.

So you see, there is some overlap here, because one can use their monkey mind to interfere with the unconscious. One can use directed prayers via the thinking voice to disrupt, interfere, inhibit, slow, or just plain fuck up one's life. One must absolutely learn to get out of their own unconscious' way.

One can learn to turn the dark into the light, that is, turn the unconscious into the conscious. Turn that little puny dollar store flashlight into the almighty sun. One can learn to pray powerfully with their conscious mind. One cannot learn to not pray unconsciously. I ask you, if you have not, to read the blog about the unconscious. I told someone the other day, that there is a huge difference between one who understands the unconscious and listens to their inner voice, and one who does not.
