9_03.............Power: Invisibility, Initiation
Invisibility: The power of invisibility at first thought seems ridiculous. The fact that magicians need a different environment to create this illusion is actually embarrassing in my opinion.
Dark room filled with smoke and mirrors but this is not the actual definition that is being addressed here.
Once again the literal translation is far removed fro the reality of the situation. Let me put it to you this way Quit showing off!
I'm one to talk, as I am what you might call the anti-invisible in this case.
You are much better off in showing yourself abilities if you just keep them to yourself and this is where the skeptic jumps in and says "Ah ha! You won't show me? That's because it cant be done!"
Thus verifying their stand that nothing is actually possible and making the world a more definable place and therefore easier for them to feel they can control in the physical nature.
I may be going a little overboard and a bit obscure but the fact remains that what we display as our talents and abilities in the world of the physical by our crafts and the observations of others.
We make things and show them, basically and in this way we are demonstrating our given talents.
Who do you need to show and what do you need to show them and the final to all of this is why do you feel the need to show them? Will their belief in your way of life make the world a better place to live? Will it stop a child from dying every six seconds? Will it revolutionize the way that things are accomplished on earth?
Here you need to look at the hermit and the invisibility as a singular unit in that you can't go out running down the street happily laughing and singing and at the same time cook breakfast for the children.
Strange analogy but once again the point of this is all about your objective and the invisible relation to it.
A different example is like when you're reading a book at a restaurant; do you look around you at the people in room and tell them everything about what you are reading?
No not unless someone asks, otherwise you tend to remain invisible about all of this and the only thing that actually shows to others, aside from the fact that you are reading a book is the cover of the book itself.
When my son was around nine years old he had witnessed several occurrences of magic and I have had long simply-put conversations with him about the greater abilities that the spiritual nature of man is capable of and as mentioned he has seen these works occur several times.
I told him to stay silent about these capabilities and not inform his classmates and friends (Missouri).
I told him to remain invisible about that (phenomenon) and just be a regular guy without bringing up any Who-do Voodoo type stuff and for years he was very good at it and called it his story talk when he referred to manipulating the wind or playing with the rain as he would tend to experiment with and at the same time being with a friend or classmate in the area, just story talk.
But one fateful day he told someone in the class of what he had not only witnessed but also seen more than once and on that day and the next he learned what happens when people think you are lying or worse they believe you and become jealous.
Now as an absentee father I see him physically every 60 days due to distance and spoke on the phone every other day with him and when I heard of the instance I gave him the magic words that will appease the creatures of jealousy and anger Sorry, I was wrong. And if necessary, I made a mistake and that will not happen again.
This mantra is repeated until things are settled and forgotten.
No elaboration and no deviation but only and exactly these words over and over and things will return to normal in no time as they did.
The invisibility can be vital to survival and not only in the wild but also in the classroom I could go on about all of the witches that have been persecuted in the past but I'm sure you get the point made as a part of the implication.
Initiation: This is a process of acceptance, admittance or integration of sorts depending on whether you are talking about a person, group or object that is being initiated.
The group concept or primal need to be in a group or a member of a specific organization of other people is called the 3rd dynamic in Scientology.
With the fact that cognizance is expected with initiation, when you consider the initiation of an object this seems to be an obscurity and I will explain but I think you probably get the idea anyway.
To be blunt about it I say that you create an item through the creative process and fill the item with your own formative powers by flowing your own energies into the item and then you give the item a name and purpose for existence and assign a time of birth to the item and to be most effective a time of dissolution or death also.
Then you enact a consecration process for the item and this is all the process of the initiation of an item.
Creation, formation and consecration are your own magical tools not only procuring the tools of your temple but also the steps involved in the inner progression of the spiritual rise from the base to the higher or from the lesser to the greater.
The most basic move in working with the cards I have created is to memorize drawing each of them and having an idea of associations concerning the glyph that you have drawn so that when you draw it the thoughts that you have running through your mind are linked through your own knowledge to the symbol itself.
As mentioned in the very beginning of this book the reactions that I have seen manifest seem to be automatic and in my opinion all of the details that you are absorbing by reading this will undoubtedly accumulate energies that are also ancient and automatic.
These energies are stimulated and the inner essence of what you are, will, do and have are reflected outwardly in different ways and the observation of these ways is left to no one else but you.
This is all a part of your own initiation process that you are putting yourself through so that you can rise to a higher realm of the spiritual nature and even if this is not your objective it will happen anyway as is inevitable and unavoidable.
Ok I'll read it but I refuse to learn anything from it!
You could say that the more you study the more you will learn and this sounds kind of stupid like saying the more you eat the less hunger you feel or the more alcohol you drink the drunker you get and it is actually this simple (this initiation) but people tend to complicate situations that are difficult to comprehend and throw in all sorts of extras to result in a total obfuscation (unclear or obscured) of the truth resulting in a form of self denial and hopelessness which leads to an apathetic feeling of "What's the point and what's the use?"
To be clear as to what I am saying you can't just read a book and go out and build a house! Or can you? (Apprenticeship)
You can't just read some words and use them as powerful items that create amazing and powerful phenomenon in the physical universe! No?
In a way this is the truth and in a way this is an obfuscation of the truth.
This is a process of securing knowledge of symbols that have been energized for centuries and using those energies through focused and contained fields of thought to project to and area or areas of your life that you wish to alter for reasons specific to your intentions.
Each personal initiation is different but the paths lead to a similar place for all mankind and that place is the garden of Eden, basically, that we eventually create for ourselves by finally getting to know the rules and using them effectively to enhance our existence here on this planet.
For this garden to physically exist there has to be more than just a handful of people working towards these effects and that is the reason we are so far away from it today but if you look back 600 years you will see that we are closer now than then (as a collective species) and 600 years from know I believe we will be even closer to the ability to create and manifest in the physical through thought in the spiritual.
In the final analysis we will all use it for the same reasons worldwide to either help or harm yourself or others.
Welcome to the club.
