From ā€œAnd now, a message from Azazelā€
Orismen
I canā€™t talk a whole lot about what is going onā€¦but he DID ask me to share this with yaā€™ll.

ā€œThe true measure of a Black Magician is in their ability to keep secrets.ā€

@Orismen , straight gold.

Seriously, thanks Orismen & A. for this, I agree - the need to burble out stuff that should really be kept very close to the heart comes from a combo of stuff, including weak self-respect (hoping to get applause for the sharing), martyrdom (ā€œI canā€™t keep all this powah to my stupid old self!ā€) and the need to be part of a peer group, all of which have no place in sincere black magick.

Fun at times, nice at times to share, to help, to be admired - but itā€™s nothing to do with the true and secret heart, the drive that brought us here. :wink:

@Lady_Eva, I too get the three pitfalls you mentioned. A need for kudos from others. When they may not be there for you in your darkest/brutal times.

I guess now its time to do secret stuff, since I have 90 minutes of the day left.

Really though, now to go do super sekrit special stuff.

34 min meditation with King Purson while giving the offering.
Many ideas came to mind to follow through on.
Many requests given ā€¦ which will in itself as the matter be a minor miracle.

Items noted.
Now for a few meditations.

Yeah ā€¦ still trying to reach an adept level within five months. Started it back in October and it just seemed to flatline for three months. So I push on. Starting in May, in and out of earth element. June, in and out of air element, July, in and out of water element. August, in and out of fire element. September, in and out of spirit element, October, on track, review and reimmerse.

Remember, brother. Adept is a state of mind. Donā€™t put a time limit to it. All that is going to do is add stress which will cause you to self sabotage your work. Youā€™ll be so worried about getting it to work that it wonā€™t. Let go. Let go of time. Let the stress melt away. THAT is when you will see. When things will happen. Donā€™t impose limits.

Not a good day today at all.
Going back where I just came from possibly. Hopefully not, but Iā€™m not figging this situation or that one for that matter.

Well, how many more ways could I have fucked upā€¦doesnā€™t matter since I did. So going back to Michigan it looks like.

Dreams: None recalled.

Physical Notes: Teeth hurt. Muscles ache a bit. Tired. Side about muscles are tight or slightly sprained, as the wrong movement makes them randomly tighten up with immense pain. Need to consistently, obsessively brush my teeth until by some miracle I have money to get them fixed before they get worse. Need to lose a few pounds.

Mental Notes: I fuck up everything, how many people get a free ride, not use it to their advantage, but abuse it? My old Golden Dawn teacher berated me about using magic, telling me Iā€™m a danger to myself and others due to my magic incompetence, and that I need to drop magic and get into therapy instead; and that I will probably ignore his advice as usual. Well, therapy doesnā€™t solve everything either, not to mention its something that you need money or insurance for, of which I have neither. How else will some learn magic if theyā€™re never taken in and seriously taught what it is and how to use it, other then trial and error? If these Maguses could come down from their ivory towers or mount abiagnus or where ever the hell their head is, and observe the system and the human condition, then they might realize how little they know as well. Well, so I fucked up ā€¦ And have nowhere to return to. And no money. And no insurance because I moved. So now I have to scramble and play both sides because the deadline comes soon. I just have yo open my big fat pie hole and fuck everything up. I realized today that I donā€™t know anything, I fuck up on whatever I touch, and that I am responsible for absolutely everything that went wrong. The devil didnā€™t do it, I scapegoated the devil on absolutely every matter gone wrong in my life. My HGA is also punished for every fuckup Iā€™ve ever done in my life. Meanwhile some suspense and mystery loving asshole holds the sword of Damocles above my head. Just fucking tell me already, mr know it all. Just gucking tell me so that I can make informed decisions in the direction of wisdom.
