RE: Occult Initation: The Mind/Bowl Test

in #psychology7 years ago

@hartnell,

Great post, very intriguing. I've explored Occult on and off for several years wondering if I have what it takes. Perhaps I just haven't been dedicated enough. I feel like my results have been mixed though. So there's hope yet.

Regarding your exercise, the first thing I thought of was that the mind can be filled with knowledge and understanding. So that's how it's like a bowl. Afterwards I wondered how, like a bowl, the mind could be become too full and overflow. I wonder if that's true or not?

I like your analogy about cleaning the shit out of the mind as a starting point to have better clarity once filled with knowledge. Perhaps that's where I've gone wrong.

Cheers and thanks so much for leading me here.... Following you!

What were you wondering that it took?

I not certain, honestly. Everyone who claims to have any understanding on the subject seems to have a slightly different opinion. I personally haven't been able to form a firm enough understanding myself and can't say what's missing.

My opinion at this point though is that the following are possible causes to a lack of success:

  • Lack of effort / intent in developing skills required
  • Incorrect technical execution
  • Incapable of developed skills required no matter how much effort

I'm curious to hear your feedback / thoughts?
