Welcome!
Half way through the Divination course. Very errie that Mr. Koettingās backstory is so similar to my own. Looking for more answers and power than the church was willing to share, however now that i understand the local jargon a bit better i would say that, while Mr. Koetting wanted results, faster, and sought the black path, I have searched for the ancient and more advanced arcana of the Right Path, and indeed, it is long and enduring before good results are met, at least for me personally, however things have met a new cross road for me, in that the ancient sciences that i study, Kabballah, Alchemy, Hermetics etc. are starting to no longer be seperate but are merging quickly into a unified whole, and now there is a big push in me to push hard into the practical development of the Living Imagination, since my theoretical understand of what a human ought to do once in those realms in order to acend quickly is getting rather deep.
So I hope that perhaps I could receive some help getting past some of these beginner blockages with unlocking the potential of my imagination.
I have had fairly significant brain damage over the years from various events and habits. I have some wrok to do there to remove brain fog, enhance the lucidity of the imagination, and increase me memory and self-cognissance. I have invested some thousands of dollars in the worlds best brain medicine ie: rare essential oils and mushroom oils for neurodevelopment, and various other oriental herbs and minerals etc. I love the lab so chemicals and herbs are my friends. However, I have never really extracted the benefits from any of my work, i just stockpile everything the the day that i build my cocoon and lock myself away for my transformation, which is getting very close to happening.
I purchased land with the main intention that i would have somewhere for ritual work and other transformational arcana, and once the company has become more stable I am going out for the 40 day cleansing and healing ritual.
Yeah my days of armchair philosophy are basically over. My old love and obession for wanting to gain these abilities and exist in the spirit world has came back strong recently and this time I am in it for the win.
One of my more selfish ambitions and just as a pinch test for me and these abilities that can be had, is that i used to be an opal miner in Coober Pedy. And by all rights, the Gnomes ought to be able to show me where Opal is. If I were able to do that, then my relationships with the gnomes would easily fund me to invest my full time into the occult and help bring this science forward. There are many things that I have to share in the space from my secluded studies, but I really need to empower myself before that so āthe manā doesnt keep ripping food off my table. Getting closer to that reality with the companies underway but still early days there and the fortunes are still yet to come.
Oh, ought to mention, I love to rant.
Oh just to clarify:
I ment the more advanced aspects of the right hand path, not that they were more advanced than the left hand path, just to be clear since i think that could have sounded rude.

Hmm. The straight arrow ātransending space and timeā reading in the divination course was exactly my situation actually. I had just done a reading about the situation just prior aswell which said the same things more or less. Interesting.
Nice to meet you Tuxedo-Cat!
