~~M User ID: 376476 United States 10/27/2008 11:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I had a book once, Drawing with the right side of your brain it was called, and one of the exercises was to do what you are talking about, I think. Seeking the inverse of the image and using it to draw only the lines you see and not the whole picture. In fact, you were to place the pic upside down to draw from it. It really made me kinda go into the "zone" and the pic I drew, when finished wasn't half bad (and I'm no artist) Anyway, that zone feeling was great, and the more I practiced seeing only the lines and not the whole picture, the easier it was to get to that state of mind. Is that kinda what you are talking about?? Always enjoy your posts Canis! Keep em coming ~~M |

Thanks for expounding a little, as you know these types of things aren't easily described by words. :) My exercise can be described as 'drawing the sunset from the perspective of the sky'. Draw the sky first. :) And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music. |

The Monk User ID: 509459 United States 10/28/2008 01:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Excellent post! You are a born teacher. My first experience was shamanic, laying in bed in complete darkness I could see a green glow in my room and when I passed my hands across my chest I could see its shadow on the cieling. I was seeing a light of subtle energy emitting from the solar plexis- the soul. Once I stared at my hands for a long time and eventually I could see something that looked like smoke rising from my fingertips. It was spirit or chi, and I could direct it with my mind, make it flow towards objects, etc. Then I realized how space and time were illusions and only the energy was real, and I started projecting my conciousness into the "spirit world" and seeing with "spirit vision" and I would receive these beautiful communications from the subconcious mind which I think is really the Monad, communications that would teach me about the mysteries of the self, of transformation. And then of course I realized how you could bend reality and manipulate others with these skills, communicate with entities of dubious character and I succumbed to the dark side- using the skills for my own personal gain and ego gratification. lol. |

Very nice job! Goodbye, halcyon days... There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory mentioned, which states that this has already happened. |

Nothing is "hidden", magick has been practised for thousands of years in different forms, however just like walking you need to learn one step at a time.
