Anarchistbanjo's World

An important part of this series of posts is simply to share things I have personally experienced as a witness to their actual existence. Some I may not understand at all . . . but I have had experiences that challenge many “politically correct” beliefs of occultism, including my belief that the development of the soul and its powers is purely a mechanical process based solely upon personal effort and not upon tradition, skill or technique.

There is an underlying reality at work here, especially at the inclusive etheric planes that exists and remains active whether a person chooses to believe in it or not!

I continued to study the works of Aleister Crowley and wrote to the OTO for more information. I found the address in one of my books. Bill Heidrick was kind enough to respond and gave me some very helpful advice as well as putting me in contact with someone that could initiate me into the Minerval degree. He essentially said that now that I had established my own magickal system I needed to study the Kabbalah and link the two systems together so they did not conflict. Thus began my study of the Holy Kabbalah. This was a magickal process known as “resolving antimonies”. Organic Gnosticism is compatible with the Holy Kabbalah but that compatibility is not two way. I can put Organic Gnosticism in Kabbalistic terms, but not the other way around.

At my Minerval initiation I was blindfolded. Afterwards I was asked if I had any questions about it. I asked why someone had stood behind me reaching around my waist and pressing in against my solar plexus? I had felt it very strongly and it was unpleasant. My initiator got quite upset and asked for more details because there had not been anyone standing behind me and pressing into my solar plexus. That should not have happened! If he had known there was an unseen entity there he would have protected me from it. I merely mention this as a strange thing that happened. . . I don’t have any answers.

There is debate about the aura and if it is magnetic. I put together a rather large direct current pulsating electromagnet that I could plug into a wall socket and give myself “treatments”. There were two large electromagnets created of 12 gauge copper wire wrapped around two large iron bolts which were both a bit larger than a large grapefruit. One was for north pole and one was for south pole. When I switched it on the magnets would hum and vibrate with the 60 cycle hum of household current. I could only have them on for a minute or two because there was so much current going through them that they would quickly get very warm.

I would lay on the floor placing the south pole magnet at my feet and the north pole magnet at my head and give myself treatments. These treatments were quite energizing and would clear completely stuffed sinuses so violently that the mucus would crackle as it cleared itself. Once, after a treatment I was lying on my bed which was oriented with the head to the east. My astral body suddenly broke loose from my physical body and moved exactly like a compass needle with my head pointing toward the north. It wobbled and went back and forth a little exactly like a compass needle does before it stabilized and remained motionless.

Several years later after I had crossed the Great Abyss and was working with both the energy ball meditation and with tantric energies treatments with this same magnet caused the energy flow at the chakra centers to become constant to the point where even today I can sense the current constantly flowing through my energy centers. It has never stopped flowing. But in the beginning those magnetic treatments certainly stimulated that current flow and made it stronger.

The aura and astral bodies are certainly electromagnetic in nature. . .
