Power of Psionics
For a practitioner of psionics, they don’t use chants or rituals or seek communication with outside forces as an active agency, but rather they form psychic complexes. “Objects” of psychic energy that manifest much as a mood can in a room. For example, a simple psionic technique would be: If you are in a room…

Be The Power
I can tell you one thing. Tell me what you think your state of mind is and tell me what your experience is, and I can tell you why you are confused. People’s perception of their personal state of mind/being often doesn’t agree with their perception of their circumstances. But bottom line, your circumstances are…

Your Power
Can you better the world by practicing forgiveness? I would say you can interact with it with more wisdom and clarity, so potentially yes. Not directly, but yes your point is valid. I’ve said this before, but people can use forgiveness to control. i.e. in the church, for instance. Often times, the idea that things…

People Hold The Power
Even within a species, there is a tendency for individuals to specialize. Individuals are special. It even showed up in early human culture, but it’s especially evident in ants. Where the nurses are small and numerous, the warriors are large and fewer, and the foragers are middle sized and very efficient in their metabolisms. The…

Spiritual Power
There have always been two paths in every tradition. One that allows the seeker to bring spiritual power to the people, and another that calls the seeker away from the people. In the African tradition, there is the Houngan or Mambo. The wise man or woman who works with the loa to share both the…

Power Symbols
Beyond words we have symbols. Some people believe that symbols have innate power, some do not, but ultimately it doesn’t really matter. They are still useful for spell casting. How many different intentions do you have in the average day, really? Not a lot. A handful maybe. And there are symbols that can represent those, likely…

Power In Animism
Another simple thing that gets explained by animism. It answers the question of reality. Simply put, you can’t see anything that isn’t there. The only form of seeing things in animism is literally seeing things. When you see your socks in the morning, you are seeing things. You can’t imagine things, not in the sense…

Power of Story
The power of stories. They are very powerful because no matter the imagery found in any one person’s world window, there is an analogue for something in the world. This is part of why people so willingly believe what they are told. It does create a reasonable facsimile of life. If you start engaging someone…

Mask of True Power
Imagine with me if you will. You are sick in bed. Your bed has been moved to the center of a large room by your family, and they are very afraid for your well-being. You can barely see and the heat is terrible. You can’t rest even when you faint from exhaustion. In this large…

Cosmic Power Brokering
In brief, what are your thoughts or experiences on magick? A state of mind I’ve been used to for many years. That it doesn’t come from thin air. It’s in your blood. It’s a way of looking at interconnectivity. A responsibility. Yes. It is response ability. All of these are true. Is there a mechanism…

Power as the Reward of Virtue
We all undertake our actions on the background of an awareness of god or a god like concept. Even if you call your god “truth”, you still have some idea of what it is all about, and why anything you’re doing actually matters. Now what contrasts black magick from white magick is not something as…

Enlightened Power
Shall we discuss enlightened power? Today’s seekers of power are just looking for excuses for acting on short sighted impulse, so they are burned by their own power because they are too hasty. Remember earlier I said that the black magician see’s power as the evidence of truth? Well, where people go wrong is seeking…

Exercise Power Together
There will always be people who want to “game” the system no matter what system you have. People who will cheat and manipulate and try to control others. It’s just part of human nature. Yes, and they are unwise. It’s a casino, house rules. You might seem to accomplish a little bit, might even feel…

Power of Wicca
As for the power of Wicca, much of the power of a practice stems from the measure of spiritual energy behind the practice. The cultural and inherited weight of the symbols and practices involved, as well as the integrity of the practical lore that goes with it. So, as much as Wicca is a modern…

Absolute Power
For the person on the path of dark ascension, there is no difference between their experience and their being, and it is believed that limitation and rejection of any part of ones being, even the darkest impulses, is what slows or even stops the individual from ultimate ascension. So one setting upon the path of…

Knowledge is Power
In theory, there can be some circumstance that compromises knowledge like being blind or suffering exceptional brain damage. The blind have no knowledge of sight, but they do have ideas about sight. Learning about it is not the same as knowing it, or am I mistaken? It’s said that in the kingdom of the blind,…
-
Societies Power
Today we will not be talking about society in general, but more specifically secret society. Not specific secret societies, but the process that gives rise to secret societies. Society itself is a bit mysterious even in the normal sense. It’s the infrastructure by which all human power and potential is harnessed nominally to serve the…

Power of Libido
Let’s think of a situation that makes you want to leave. Anyone want to share one? A bad relationship. We tend to linger in those, why? Hoping to fix it. Fix it. What would happen if you examined yourself in that situation? We also remember how good it used to be. How it seemed to…
