THE POWER and the MADNESS in the mania... just BLEW my 24 inch guns out, BROTHER

Started reading some Neville Goddard yesterday. A lot of what he talked about really resonates with some of the realizations I’ve had throughout my journey so far, and has also given me new points of view to mull over.

At work, they gave the new girl all the hostessing shifts, and gave me the best money making days to work with only one day off, which is the slowest night. Everything always works out for me. It always has and it always will. I’m so happy :relieved:

Giving my debit card to my boyfriend has been a fantastic idea so far. There are so many things I would have compulsively bought if I had my card just in these last few days. I know my problem with spending money has to do with growing up poor and neglected, but I am no longer that child and I must resist the urge to buy these things I do not need.

I believe that the longer I go without recklessly spending money, the easier it will be for me to save money without requiring that my boyfriend hold my card hostage.

I must keep reminding myself of the reason why I am saving my money. Independence! We will have our independence and it will be in Arizona. He already has a job waiting for him through a family friend, and I have restaurant experience.

This week will be great :rabbit:

Yesterday I performed at a whole new level.

I had some anxiety due to taking my cbd:thc tincture at the wrong time of day and showing up at work with fucking mush brain, but after I broke through that, I felt like the Lord of Food Running.

I stacked four plates on my arm, man. I’m so glad I could do that. I was, again, Superhuman Lee. I heard everything, my perception was on point, and I had lazer sharp focus. It was exhilarating! I think my current yoga routine has been benefiting me in this way.

I’ve also figured out how to balance responsibilities, rest/video games, and activities to work on the self. Normally I just exhaust myself with one category and neglect the rest, but now I feel that I have a solid routine that keeps me going.

My blue lotus tea and the Euphoria elixir from Anima Mundi arrived! I took two tsp of the elixir with my raspberry hibiscus tea and wow, I definitely feel the aphrodisiac effects. There is a heightened focus paired with a calm mind, and I just feel joyous in general.

After my s/o gets out of the shower I will try the blue lotus tea. I’m excited!

I’ve been playing Devil May Cry all day long. I did a core workout and yoga outside. It was hot and humid, so I sweat a lot. Took a good shower and felt like a new person.

I cooked dinner and cleaned the kitchen, so I feel extra great that I could give some attention to my more nurturing side.

I can’t stop listening to Cradle of Filth these days. It aligns with something going on inside of me right now. It satisfies everything that my mind delights in envisioning. The way the songs feel and sound and how the videos look just really, really do it for me. Nothing feels better than being swept away into another fixation after so long going without.

I’m filled with inspiration and ideas! The last time I was like this was when I was a kid. Preteen-teen years were my best times for creation, and I’m getting back into touch with it. My imagination is starting to flourish in the way it once did, free of the self-limiting mindset so many of us develop. Too critical, too logical, too weathered by the daily grind.

How amazing it is to feel this way. I can breathe again.

I hope everyone is well.

I am a bronzed goddess from doing yoga outside In 90 degree weather every day. Nothing feels better than sweating.

I’ve been thinking about the things I need to work on, and the most pressing thing for me at the moment is that I never follow through with shit. I would evoke a spirit with the intention to build a relationship with them, but then allow mundane life to take over.

Am I trying to avoid responsibility by not getting close to others? Is it something that stems from anxiety and insecurity? I end up talking myself out of magickal practices by allowing my rational mind to tell me it’s all in my head.

But even if it is, so what? There are magickian who consider these beings to relate to different parts of the mind, and rituals/workings function more like psychodrama, but that doesn’t make their beliefs any less valid, nor does it make it any less effective. So why do I continue to doubt myself and give in to these self-defeating thoughts?

Is it perhaps that I am not in a place where I should be contacting spirits and should continue to build myself? Though why is it that I think of Asmodeus with such frequency? I would not consider it a personal fixation, because he pops up in my mind at random times. I’m not sitting around daydreaming and obsessing.

There is an idea that this is building up to something. I previously mentioned that I had a certain goal in mind that I was working with Him to build towards, but without the need to continue invoking Him, something else happened.

My confidence skyrocketed, and I no longer cared to attain that goal. Originally I wanted the confidence in order to get it, but once I had it, I realized that I was thinking small. I realized that I was far above that goal, and much too good for it. So I have been building myself more and more.

I can see Him in my mind’s eye right now.

I tend to doubt the validity of what I see and hear in my mind, but there’s no need for that anymore. I cannot expect to do better if I continue to put myself down.

Spirits contact and speak with me through emotions and pictures in my mind, and often times through my dreams, or with sudden inspiration to do a certain thing.

Today I need to give my wrists a break from yoga, but I will do some wrist exercises as well as a core burnout routine. I’m working on building my core, strengthening my wrists, and gaining more shoulder flexibility/mobility for a handstand. I suppose I’ll start with a forearm handstand and work my way up to a full handstand. I can do a few cool arm balances, and I am proud of the upper body strength I’ve acquired so far.

I fell out of doing qi gong, so I’ll try to start again. It takes a few times of myself forgetting a new activity until I solidify it into my daily routine, so I won’t beat myself up.

I’m waiting for my next paycheck on Thursday to buy anything. My card is still being held hostage by my boyfriend. I told him not to give it time until I get paid again, and he has stayed true to that request for me.

I would like a working that I do every day. I used to do rituals for hours a day when I first started. I was always in the dark with candles lit, sweat dripping from my brow, incense burning… I lived for it. It was easier, as I was home all day, no one bothered me in that house, and my boyfriend worked until 2 AM.

I have no need for excuses anymore, and I will find a time and a place every day.

I’m really looking forward to my next day off. I’m really burnt out right now. I wonder why it is that four hours a day feels like so much more, and I’m aware that other people do school and half multiple jobs, so why do I get so tired?

Ah, I’m not built like them. Everyone is different. We all have different limits and capabilities, and I need not compare myself to them. I have only my previous self to compare to, and in that case I am excelling.

I will probably be back later. I hope everyone is well.

Woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom with my mind on loop, repeating the name “Az Jahi”. I wonder if I am just naturally drawn to Djinn, worth looking into, but back to sleep I go

I bought more euphoria aphrodisiac elixir, as well as this

Ingredients: Ashwagandha Root*, Kava Kava, Passionflower, Fresh Ginger Root, Skullcap leaf, Blue Lotus, Rose Petals, Calea Zacatechichi, Rose Geranium Essential oil.

I’ll keep a journal just for my dreams. I’ll get a recorder as I saw suggested here so that I don’t need to wake myself up writing shit down in the middle of the night.

The Euphoria elixir has given me heightened sensitivity to touch, increased energy, intense focus, and inspires creativity. I notice it works more as I continue to take it every day.

I ran out today and wow, what a difference. I was very meh today. I also couldn’t sleep again, though, and have been taking benadryl to force rest. Hopefully this new elixir will do the trick!

I am going to focus on the feeling of the wish fulfilled right before bed. I listened to The Feeling is the Secret read by Brian Scott during Shavasana outside today. I had some kind of anxiety attack… My yoga session had the effect of cracking me wide open and exposing my fears. Perhaps that’s why I was exhausted today.

It was a good day, though. My favorite person was at work. All in all, everything worked out, as always, and I am content and carefree, as I have all that I’ve ever wanted. I’m truly happy.

Currently drinking warm milk and wrapped in a cozy pillowy blanket. I used some dragon’s blood soap in the shower and am lathered in rose hip moisturiser.

I hope everyone is well. I send my love to all of you.

It’s 3am. Had a dream that I was a server at work, and I had a panic attack because I didn’t know how to get them a mixed drink. Can’t remember any other dreams. Back to sleeps

I’ve been having at least one anxiety dream about work every single night. I have also been waking up and not being able to go back to sleep for a few hours, then getting up late with a hangover feeling. Anxiety and stress is fucking with me lately.

Today is my day off, thankfully. I’ll open up the window, clean my room, cleanse the energies, then take a spiritually cleansing bath with my frankincense & myrrh epsom salts. I plan to finally crack open Bram Stoker’s Dracula to read by candlelight while listening to some haunting organ instrumentals :bat::bat::bat:

I will go into a deep meditation, perhaps a nighttime yoga sesh. I can light candles all around me and bask in the moonlight. I never have to be at work earlier than four, so I can go out and frolick beneath the stars, something I rarely think to do anymore. I will soak up the night later on.

I fell out of void meditations, so it’s time to continue. I love to be wrapped in darkness, where before there was fear, has been replaced with a sense of security and empowerment.

There is a lot of work left to do if I’m to work past this lingering anxiety and insecurity, but I have faith in myself. It’s a process.

Lately I’ve been swept up in fantasies of all kinds of debauchery. I’ve infused my life with dark erotica wherever I can fit it. I believe I am just going back to my roots and expressing myself as fully as I once did. I grew up with my parents, who, as artists, did not shame expression. My dad would paint beautiful nude mermaids and vampires, all kinds of horror and erotica. He introduced me to Anne Rice, and shared his own writing with me.

This is who I am and how I was raised. I love being back in touch with myself in this way. Everything is wonderful.

I took a few days of rest from doing yoga. I really needed some time to do absolutely nothing in order to distance myself from the nagging feeling of being constantly obligated to perform.

In the way that I am expected to perform for others and for myself, and how exhausting a life like that can be. I had want to simply be, and now realize how important it is!

Well, I shed some of this negativity that I had stuffed deep inside of me. To stop doing and to simply be created a stillness that I didn’t realize I was trying to avoid, and I tackled a lot of what was going on with my mental and emotional state.

There is always a sense of urgency behind all that I do, and today there is a stillness and a calm flow behind all my actions.

I did yoga outside, though it was a short session, it was energizing and revitalizing. I did a twenty minute meditation, and am now sipping on my euphoria elixir in a fresh cup of iced blood! I… I mean… Iced tea… Of course.

I also received my long awaited Cradle of Filth merch in the mail! Well, 2/3rds of it. I’m still waiting for my pants.

The sleeve says “Plague War Famine Death”

And my t-shirt. It only came in medium but it looks small enough :bat::bat::bat::bat::bat:

Today is going to be a busy one, with it being crab cake night and all … I am going to kick some ass and make some tips.

I hope everyone is well.

Woke up from an almost lucid dream.

I was at work, but then all of a sudden I woke up and I was home. I wondered how I got home, then went wandering around looking for my boyfriend. The house was foggy and decorated like it was Halloween. I thought, “oh no, am I dreaming still?” There was a vaguely creepy feeling in the air.

I found my boyfriend wandering around the house. I couldn’t see his face. I asked him what he was doing, and mentioned that he was acting like a Sim. LoL.

Woke up for real.

Back to sleep I go.

I woke up at 10 today. (Or was it 9? Not sure)

Had my coffee, then got dressed and went directly into a strong vinyasa yoga session. It was a new one, so it was challenging, but I powered through each pose and kept focusing on my breath.

I held crow pose for quite a long time (twice) in this routine, and I feel really, really good about it.

I just stepped out of the shower. I am sitting and having a cup of tea before I begin de-cluttering my bedroom. I’m striving towards a more minimalistic lifestyle, and each time I clean, I let go of more possessions. It is a difficult process, but an important one.

I’ll throw my bedsheets/pillowcases in the wash, vacuum, and cleanse the room with sage. As I burn incense, I’ll go into a void meditation.

While doing yoga, a dragonfly collapsed beside me. It appeared to be in the throws of death, and kept attempting to get up and fly, but would crumple and squirm on the ground. It felt ominous. I didn’t see it as an omen per se, but I felt it was a sign of some sort. Not negative, but it grabbed me. Very intense shit.

I’ll go do what I’m doing, now. I hope everyone is well.

Last night I repeated “I am lucid dreaming” in my head until I fell asleep. I kept waking up all throughout the night, or when I actually fell asleep, I felt as if I were awake and not getting real rest. Unsure if this is normal for a person new to lucid dreaming. I’m just going to assume it means I’m on the right track.

Every time I woke up, I would question my reality. Just now I pushed my finger into my hand, and it did not go through, so that means I am awake. I will continue to do reality checks as much as I can remember. I will check if I have a shadow, ask myself if I am awake whenever I drink or eat something, etc.

I had a dream that I was living at my mom’s house. I took a bus, which is a bus I’ve been on in my dreams before. I had memory of visiting this realm in my dream – I have certain places that I visit frequently, and I am the same self who visited that realm the last time, so even if the dream is years later, my dream self sees this as just a continuation of the last dream.

Anyway, I’m on the bus and I’m reading a book. I think it is Bram Stoker’s Dracula, because I’ve been really focused on it lately. I get so caught up in the book that when I look up again, I know I’ve gone too far because I see the casino and Ceasar’s Palace (ya, that one)

I get a little panicky, but the bus pulls up to an occult shop, and my anxiety is immediately met with excitement. I go and start grabbing all kinds of stuff. Crystals, books, candles… I find all these oils, and I fill a whole cup with dragon’s blood oil.

My boyfriend is mad, and tells me I have a spending problem, that I am too erratic with money. I’m angry with him because I know he’s right. That anger dissolves because I remember that he is only visiting me for a short amount of time. I say, "it’s going to be weird when I can’t just turn my head and see you, you know? Like, I won’t be able to just see you. You’ll be gone. I am going to miss you "

I think he was, for some reason, a combination of himself and my long ago ex who would visit me from Canada.

That’s all I recall. I know that the day will reveal to me more of my dreams through interactions and moments, as it always does.

I’m still trying to figure out Asmodeus’ altar. I want it to be a wall altar, so that I don’t need to worry about space or whatever, but I am so far not finding anything that looks like Him.

When I think of Him, I hear a low throat singing, like how Gregorian chants sound. I see blood, I see dark clouds looming overhead, I see weapons made of jade, I think of aphrodisiacs and bdsm.

Last night everyone was gone, and I took off my clothes and ran around the yard, laughing and dancing. It was an impulsive moment. I’ve always had the urge. I felt very free, and I couldn’t stop laughing.

I feel a deep connection to myself and my path. I want to infuse my life with my practice, and be surrounded by stimulating and inspiring decor. I am feeling much less doubt. I feel that I can See with more clarity than I’ve ever had before, and that I am shedding the part of my mind that fervently questions If what I am doing is real or if it even matters.

My boyfriend felt the difference in the room and himself after I did the cleanse. We felt light and carefree, and the day was perfect. He noted that everyone who walked in our room seemed to instantly become happier and more pleasant. I felt proud and confident.

Everything is becoming so much clearer. I feel so good.

I definitely feel that these elixirs have helped open me up spiritually. I am more in tune with my intuition.

I am going to buy one of those witchcraft kits on etsy that come with herbs, candles, crystals, etc. so that I can get into doing spells. I used to do them all the time when I was a kid. I’d blare some Bjork and fill little jars with herbs and oils.

Today is a great day.

I just completed an hour long power yoga session. I’m completely drenched in sweat, and I’m feeling really grateful for the ability to do the things I do with my body.

The weather is beautiful. The clouds shielded me from the furious rays of the sun, so I didn’t get anymore unwanted exposure for the day.

I will go into a guided meditation until the time comes for me to run some errands before work.

I have been getting better at expelling negativity. I have stopped applying absolutes to others’ character, ex. “That person is an asshole” – a person cannot just be an asshole. People are complex, they are more than this one trait that I experience. It keeps me from applying absolutes to myself and the world around me.

I also began understanding how these people I viewed with such disdain are actually parasitic in nature. I do not hate parasites, I do not sit around wondering why parasites feed on me and how mean that is – I simply view them for how they are and take the necessary measures to protect myself. This has released a lot of stress that I have had building up, and I am approaching my interactions with other people in a whole new way.

Of course I am not applying this label of parasite to be an absolute of anyone’s character in an objectifying manner, but I do acknowledge the tendencies and the nature of these people.

Yesterday I took on a leadership role at work. I shed the fear of others not liking me. It was invigorating to feel that my actions matched who I truly am without anxiety getting in the way.

I believe I am past that hump I spoke of before, and everything is working out for me. I am growing and expanding at a much faster rate.

Time to shower and do what I gotta do.

I hope everyone is well.

Yesterday I reached my first money savings goal! I haven’t been checking my bank account, and I put some cash in the atm last night. I looked at the receipt and couldn’t believe it! I am so happy. I am fighting my urges to spend money!

I decided to stop buying quick easy food when we have food at the house, switch to less expensive hair products, etc. And prioritize things that will actually benefit me health-wise, because it will increase my productivity and create more success.

I bought more stuff from Anima Mundi because their products have made a huge difference in my life. I can think clearer, I can do more.

I am excited to see how these new products benefit me! I got a smoking blend of mugwort, skullcap, and rose which they call the “heart blend” – I’ve never smoked straight herbs before, so I’m curious as to how it will feel. I’ll have my brother in law roll them for me.

I also bought rose powder, which I’ll mix with oatmilk and my euphoria elixir to make a potent heart opening latte.

I’m super interested in trying out the mulungu I bought for nights where nothing else is helping me sleep.

I have always had all these ideas of what I want to do, but never anything concrete, until now!

Once I’ve saved enough, I will buy the classes and materials to become certified as a yoga instructor, and make money doing classes in the daytime before going to work at my current job.

I’ll save double the money, and buy more classes for holistic nutrition, reiki, herbalism, etc. and get side work through my students once I have more certifications.

I’ll also need to be instructed on CPR and shit like that so I can be a responsible teacher.

Eventually I will be able to stop working restaurant jobs and remain infused in all of the work I’m passionate about.

Everything just seems to be so clear to me lately. It is all falling in place and working out perfectly.

I’ll be back later.

I don’t believe they are related, no. I’m talking about Anima Mundi Herbals. They have all natural herbs and tonics for all kinds of different things, and I have been using their Euphoria elixir and Dream elixir with a lot of success. I recommend giving them a look!
