More of the same pretty much. I listened to the Concordia Booster for 3 hours.
It seems that the Concordia Booster has had significant effects on me already. Even though I got waitlisted (read: basically rejected) by a college already, and should be kind of upset, I literally don’t care. Two weeks ago I felt unstable and stagnant, yet things have changed significantly. The feeling of stagnation has been replaced by a resilient optimism. Any time I feel myself getting negative, the stupidest things bring me back to positivity.
For example, I woke up in a kind of bad mood today, and was generally unmotivated. For a moment I thought my streak was ending and I was sinking back into the deep. Then, I was looking at this design flowchart for something, and I was like “that’s totally cool”, and my mood instantly became more positive, resulting in a better day for me. This flowchart was something that I would never find that interesting, not even my remote and seemingly hyper-motivated pre-quarantine self would have found it as energizing as I did today.
Weird.
I feel like trying for a lucid dream or OBE soon. I’ll likely use the wake back to bed method.
I can’t think of a suitable segue for this so I’ll just jump right into it.
Elements of Spellcasting is such a useful book. It’s so practical. Now that I’ve read it, the reasoning behind offerings is totally clear.
If I walk up to some dude on the street and command him “Bring wealth to me”, he may not be inclined to help me unless I have something for him in return. Even if he is a master wealth-bringer, he may not help me if I’m a stranger.
Someone who I’m friends with may be able to help me with getting wealth even if it’s outside their skillset. In sum, building relationships is worth it.
Also, I think I’m going to take Jason Miller’s advice to settle down with one paradigm and work with it for a while. I’m just a neophyte, and the last few months I’ve shopped around in all sorts of paths. This is fine because I needed to get the lay of the land, but now I’m ready to settle down.
It’s like choosing a weapon to attack a target. I have to learn how to use my weapon and follow the rules for it. Whether I choose a trusty Glock 9mm or a SMAW multi-role rocket launcher, I have to figure out how to use it.
And, in my opinion, if you shoot a target in a vital spot or hit them with a rocket from point blank range, the target hit with the rocket is not any more neutralized/dead than the target with a bullet through a major artery.
Plus, it takes a lot of effort to find ammo for a rocket launcher.
That said, I think I’m going to work with the law of attraction. It should develop the underlying ability behind magick ( I think), and it doesn’t require tools.
I’ll probably use the gallery of magick books too because they don’t take that much effort and I would like them for emergencies.
I haven’t been remembering my dreams that well the last few weeks. I need to journal them more often. I have a dream servitor, but I haven’t called on him that much.
