The Oracle: Reflections on Self (2010) is a film documentary by David Cherniak that investigates the use of spirit oracles within Tibetan Buddhism. It records how specially trained monastics regularly perform ceremonies during which they are possessed by spirits from the Tibetan pantheon, who are consulted for political and spiritual advice by the Dalai Lama [...]

Deconstructing the Male Orgasm
Posted in Consensus Reality, Etheric, Meditation, tagged Daoism, ejaculation, male sexuality, orgasm, tantric sex on January 17, 2012 | 12 Comments »
Ejaculation and orgasm are not the same thing. To many men this may sound incomprehensible, but I’ve been amazed to discover that not only is it true, it’s also easier than I expected to separate them from each other. For solid evidence that coming does not entail spurting, a little human anatomy comes to our [...]
The Vision of LOE (Aethyr 12)
Posted in Astral, Etheric, tagged Enochian magick, lucid dream, vision on April 8, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I am looking through a window at the rain. Realising I am dreaming, I haul myself through the glass and shout the evocation at the sky: ‘I wish to scry LOE, Aethyr Twelve!’ I feel my body dissolve and I wake. But I sense the lucid state is still close, so I make myself still [...]
Scrying Enochian Aethyrs in the Lucid Dreaming State
Posted in Astral, Etheric, tagged Aleister Crowley, Enochian magick, lucid dream on February 15, 2011 | 4 Comments »
‘By doing certain things certain results will follow,’ wrote Aleister Crowley. Makes sense. But what are the parameters for ‘doing certain things’? For instance, to scry the Enochian aethyrs one recites the Nineteenth Enochian Call. But what is ‘reciting the Nineteenth Enochian Call’? And what happens if we decide not to bother? I tried an [...]
The Liberation of Ronove
Posted in Astral, Etheric, Outrageous Acts of Sorcery, tagged demon, dreaming, exorcism, goetia, Ronove, tarot, The Tibetan Book of the Dead on August 6, 2010 | 14 Comments »
If you can summon a demon and bind it to your will, why couldn’t you liberate it into everlasting luminosity and peace? But if you did, would that demon be gone for good? Would other magicians still be able to work with it? Suppose someone summoned each demon of the Goetia in turn and compelled [...]
A Drift At Dawn
Posted in Drift, Etheric, tagged Alfred Lord Tennyson, divination, Huginn, Jacques Lacan, Mervyn Peake, Muninn, Odin, runes on May 31, 2010 | 4 Comments »
It is light now by 4am. Outside, the roads are deserted in a post-apocalyptic silence. The sun is not quite risen and the bluish daylight has a copper tinge. Tennyson captured the loneliness and melancholy of this time of day: Ah, sad and strange as in dark summer dawns The earliest pipe of half-awaken’d birds [...]
Investigation Of My Past Lives: The Steiner Method
Posted in Astral, Etheric, Meditation, tagged karma, past lives, reincarnation, Rudolf Steiner, will on April 5, 2010 | 7 Comments »
Rudolf Steiner’s method for retrieving past lives is deceptively simple. It’s this: meditate on a chosen experience over three subsequent days and on the fourth day (all being well) an impression will arise from a past life that accounts for the experience chosen from our current life [1]. Of course, it’s not as easy as [...]
A Change of Heart
Posted in Etheric, tagged anahata, chakra, dreaming, heart on February 9, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
She was so pleasant and friendly I ought to have remembered the oriental-looking woman’s name, but I was new here and had met so many people in such a short space that the introductions hadn’t stuck. But no matter. It seemed she wouldn’t take ‘no’ for an answer; I was expected at the seminar to [...]
Some Notes on Technique
Posted in Astral, Etheric, Meditation, tagged brain, concentration, lucid dream, out of body on October 26, 2009 | 2 Comments »
The art of lucid dreaming and out-of-body experience is grounded in concentration and will power. If you decide to do it, if you want to do it, and if you persist in your efforts to do it – then you will succeed. That said, there are certain factors that can influence the degree of success. [...]
Vibes
Posted in Astral, Etheric, tagged chakra, frequency, manipura, out of body, vibration on September 22, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I woke this morning before it was light to the sound of a vibration – from the fridge downstairs, perhaps, or maybe it was the bakery at the rear of the building starting up its ovens. Whatever it was, I noticed in my half-awake state a clear but subtle response from my mind to this [...]
