Spiritual traditions teach humanity about the basic rules of how reality works. But then egotistical humans twist it around, and make the rules all about morality, shame, and worthiness. For instance, the basic law of karma, that what goes around comes around, it is not about individuals "deserving" good or bad things. Karma is just about action and reaction. If I punch something with my fist, I am likely to hurt my hand; My hand does not hurt as punishment, it hurts because of basic physical laws. That is easier to understand because these physical laws are straightforward to observe compared to metaphysical phenomena.
This is also the situation when it comes to ideas about using magic for personal gain. There are plenty of people out there who would try to shame you for daring to ask universe for more money, love, power. But performing magic for any real significant external effect is just like starting a business. You can start a business for personal gain, for sure, but the business will surely fail or be a great deal of trouble if your business is not for others' benefit as well. Running a successful business is all about fulfilling the needs of the customers. Also, in most businesses one must get some investors and employees on board to make things happen.
That is how magic is, magic is unlikely to work unless it is to fulfill some needs, but in this case the customer is the universe. Getting things done is a matter of aligning ourselves with the forces on each level of reality. This idea was highlighted to a while ago, I had finally worked up the motivation to do a practical spell. When I got to down to doing it, it was like something else had taken over my body, I was running on autopilot, compelled by some source of supplemental energy, improvising effectively in ways I had not planned for.
There are many ways to approach practical magic, books are easy to find these days describing different ways. But note that candles and incense are always very useful in practical magic. Sold in any drug store, they generate a significant amount of etheric energy which attracts and sustains the incorporeal entities that would help you.
I find this interesting, as I read your blogs, in a way it mirrors I guess in 2-3 years later what i am going through.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts on manifesting for personal gain is, its ok. Like say you need money to pay bills or rent, what is wrong with manifesting so you can have those things paid. Or even money in greater amounts.
Your job in life is to have love, joy and be happy. And having money is a big part of this world in being able to have experiences.
I have started Drunvalos stuff and he even says its your birthright. But before Drunvalo, I was reading things on Carole Dore. She was actually the first person I came across that said you can manifest by visualizing through the heart in my experience of reading.
She also said its ok to visualize and manifest through the heart. He teachings are more innate i feel, and her background she uses is christianity in part because she was going to become a minister. But she reads from troward and others who talk about manifesting from the heart.
For her its being heart centered and raising your energy vibrations, visualizing from the heart with love. She even tested and used it at the casinos she said and tells people in her programs as an exercise, try it on the lotto to win the jackpot. She is following the teachings of troward, joeseph murphy, troward and a few others. She even talks about the 3rd and 4th dimensions and 5th.
