I recently started meditating with sigils (contemplative meditation, I think it’s called) and I recite enns when I do it, sometimes out loud and sometimes mentally, depending on whether I’m home alone or not. The thing is, no matter how much I do it and manage to “open” the sigil (it’s open when parts of it start to disappear, right?), I don’t receive any messages or visions from the demon I’m trying to contact. I think this is because I’m not in the right state of mind when doing this. From what I know and understand, you have to be 100% focused on the object you’re contemplating, and that’s when you truly “connect.” Right? I think disciplines like mindfulness teach this, but I’m not entirely sure. Could you help me with this?

Prepatory immersion. I used to hate it at first until @Kindraathe gave his bulletproof immersion guide and gave me a mini crash course to evocation, demonolator style.
Get the spirit enn from YouTube. Learn it, live it, love it. Learn the Bornless or Headless ritual to mind and heart.
My drugs of choice were nicotine, sleep deprivation, candle flame control via will, and weed.
Some spirits and currents hate weed with a passion due to its dulling of the mind. But it helped with me.
Look for the opportunities you quested for.

It’s important to have a goal in mind to evoke as well, a reason for evoking beyond just contact, even if it’s to have a conversation. E.A talked about this once. The spirits tend not to spend their time if you have no intention to fulfill.
Intention really is everything.
“The entire ritual failed because of one thing: my
desire to evoke in order to CAUSE REAL AND VERIFIABLE
CHANGE was NOT there at all.
My desire was to evoke, just for the hell of it.
To fling about the most potent spiritual art for some
sort of entertainment.”

I read that Crowley said we should modify this ritual to suit ourselves. Is that right? Because that would be very helpful to me, as I don’t feel ready to memorize something so long.
And thank you for the immersion guide; I found some things there that may be useful to me.

Well, I intend to receive a message, since through an evocation that someone else did for me, I learned that the demon I am seeking to contact asked me to seek him out. Wouldn’t the intention be clear with that? And by the way, it’s not that I’m trying to evoke him, I don’t have the resources for that, I’m simply trying to communicate through meditation, as many do.

Yeah, both Crowley and Regardie said that about the Headless/Bornless Ritual and Prayers or Invocations, perhaps the Poetry as well.
The issue I have with the Bornless Ritual is memorizing the Enochian used in it for each of the five elements.
@Theoricus I still have quite a few doubts about the subject. How much do you think I can shorten and summarize it? What things do you think I should leave out or remove? It’s also supposed to put me in the right state of mind (and give me spiritual authority), but I know Crowley achieved that by masturbating and perhaps taking drugs, and I can’t go around doing that in my space.

Well, if not alone and nobody will be pounding on the door, there is an excellent prayer closer - the bathroom.
Otherwise, you need personal room to do your work in.
Whisper can work just as well as full voiced vibration (speaking from the abdomen).
A candle can sit on the sink closet, next to a folded piece of paper containing the sigil.
But it is easiest to put your foot down and demand personal space and or time.
@Theoricus Well, um… I don’t want to be disrespectful because the tip you gave me is definitely useful, but honestly, I would feel pretty stupid masturbating on my (uncomfortable) toilet while proclaiming to be God, plus I don’t have access to drugs. Anyway, I was referring to reaching the state of mind that people achieve when they meditate, where they can receive visions and hear voices. I don’t know what it’s called or how to achieve it.
But again, thanks for mentioning the ritual to me.

I think you missed the point. I was pointing out that you need a private room to do your magic work.
I now get your point, my apologies, I should have gotten it from your initial message. What you’re looking for is an altered state of consciousness, which is why I pointed out drugs such as nicotine or marijuana. As far as giving yourself a j Arthur on the toilet, Crowley did far worse.
EA calls it theta gamma sync. The CIA calls it the hemi gateway sync.
It’s a difficult process to get to that state of altered consciousness, but one thing remains the same, the brainwave. Sleep deprivation or fasting can also induce this consciousness.
