Talking to the deceased is no less or more dangerous than talking to the living. However, I agree with Juroara, if you don't have a purpose to do so, why bother? |

Well, look at it this way; You could walk up to someone on the street and ask them what time it was and they could pull a gun on you, shoot you in both knees, steal your wallet, wedding ring and all your personal possessions and leave you bleeding to death in an alley. OR you could ask someone what time it was and they could hand you the Rolex off their wrist. |

Hmm, I guess lol. |
|
saxonharp is right, going into the occult is a very dangerous and long path. |

Actually, I wasn't disuading Ahhchuu at all. Nor was I encouraging. Power is Power and Knowledge is Knowledge. Neither are good or bad in and of themselves. It's what is done with Power and Knowledge that makes it "good" or "bad" depending on your own personal set of morals and values. |

It always worries me a little when someone is thinking of delving into the occult and wants to start right out with calling up spirits. For the most part the hermetic path is about self transformation. You might try a book called "Between the Gates" by Mark Stavish for an overview of magic(k) with and emphasis on LD and AP and see if it's something that you are honestly interested in. |
|
The people I have personally known who tried experimenting with the occult and contacting spirits all had negative experiences. Nothing good happened. |

There's one thing I can say. Believe me, using spirits for revenge, money, or any other reasons is dangerous. If you just call them for no reason they can be even worse. I know it from personal experience and nothing good comes out of them. At the beginning, you'll find it's good but, when it comes back to get what it wants, you'll wish that you've never tried anything from that kind. I strongly disrecommend it! |
|
I'm open to believing in a wide range of things, but the occult? You guys are talking about calling up spirits and stuff. I'd like to hear more personal experiences and why we should believe them. |
|
Surrender your flesh. We demand it.
I have some personal experiences but I won't really like to share them all. Although, I shared one of them in the "Voices when I try to sleep" forum in Beyond Dreaming. Again, I was doing a spell, I tried calling a spirit and it ended bad. "Bad" - as hearing footsteps in my room when I'm alone, whispering and others. |
|
What kind of personal experiences would you like to hear about, Wanbli Sapa? Would you like to hear about the spirits of dead people who haven't finished their journeys yet? Or would you rather hear about the spirits of those who have never chosen to incarnate? Or would you perhaps prefer to hear about the more esoteric spirits - Stone, Water, Air, Fire? How about the Wankian, the Thunder Beings? They are spirit as well. |

Saxonharp...does anything spiritual happen to you that is visible outside of your own senses? If so could you video tape one of the encounters? |
|
The word Occult stems from the latin word occultus, meaning hidden or secret. The term has a broad definition and entails much more than communicating with spirits. I've heard many refer to lucid dreaming as an occult practice, which makes sense because it can be used to percieve things that are not normally percievable. If you are trying to communicate with spirits then research a form of divination called necromancy. However if you have never practiced any sort of divination before, you should consider starting with an easier route than necromancy, which can be extremely difficult and create intense experiences if done correctly. |

Sorry, it doesn't work that way. You can't video tape knowledge and understanding. Can you video tape the experience of a ball game? No. You can video tape the ball game, but not the experience of it. That is a personal thing that cannot be shared with anyone else. You can use words to describe it, draw pictures, write songs and poetry, but all those things are still NOT the experience itself. Someone might even be right next to you AT the aforementioned ball game and they STILL will not have the same experience you had. |

So what your saying is that it isn't viewable outside of your own senses...? |
|
That is neat. Have you been able to teach people outside of your family (and outside of other families who also do it) to do what you do, or has anyone for that matter? |
