Wish i had got online a few days ago/pages back.<br><br>One of the biggest issues I have with this stuff is paradox.<br><br>If you can't deal with it you are screwed, because it turns up everywhere.<br><br>As someone who has done more than their fair share of occult ritual and magic and the like, I resent the tendancy that everyone ha to classify such stuff as ultimately evil.<br><br>I guess none of the rituals I have done have involved inflicting pain, death or abuse on people. Well, no guess about it. Never ever have I done anything despicable like that.<br><br>I never had Yog Soggoth crawling up my leg.<br><br>Feeling my head being set into one of Azathoth's rings was pretty intense. The feeling of a giant finger sticking through your chest is well ... unique. Mildly scary.<br><br>So what i am not evil, my actions aren't either.<br><br>Cos I am responsible for them.<br><br>Even after 10 OP rums and 5 joints I am still responsible for my actions. I still retain the choice of how I act. Sometimes I have been a bit of a dickhead... But oh well that was my choice and I made it for my reasons. I may not be proud of how I acted (or was told I acted), but I am not ashamed of myself either. I won't do things i would be ashamed of.<br><br>All this good or evil rubbish is just that. Rubbish. You are responsible for your soul and no amount of reading the necronomicon will change that. If you give up your soul cos of that book, well the book makes no difference. If you are like that you will give up your soul for any reason, necronemicon or job in finance or marketing, the details are irrelevant.<br><br>So in that context all this positive thinking bullshit is just that.<br><br>Fertilizer.<br><br>The secret is visualisation. To use your magination to prelive what you wish to occur, that usually involves visualising what you will do and how you will do it.<br><br>If you are trying to think positive in from a negative world view, your negative world view is what you create.<br><br>And although positive thinking has power, chemical reactions have power as well... thinking you can make napalm go away is foolish. However a person without a victim mentality is doing everthing in their power to avoid what they know is certain (but hopefully only probable) death.<br><br>The victim is running down the road screaming.<br><br>There is a real danger of Fascism when you take on the mentality that you create the world you live in. It is easy to see others as inferior for not saving themselves.<br><br>If you think like this its already too late for your soul.<br><br>You create the world we all live in, so do I. You helped create the world that burned that napalm victims kin. And skin.<br><br>Anyway I am rambling. <p></p><i></i>
