Guide for Newbies V.2

Bump~

BUMP

Why do you not just go on and make version 3 or go on with this one?

Waaaah! I'm very sorry all of you, I was planning to make this last year but I got really, really busy with my personal life these past months.

BTW This is LostSeraph.

I'm very sorry everyone, I'm afraid it will have to take me quite some time before I can update this whole guide.

But I will see what I can do, I'll just see if I can manage my schedule and put some vacant time to work on these for you guys.

The sad news is until now, I am still very busy, so I have little to no time to do these things for now, I'm really sorry.

For now, try to make do with the current guide and strengthen your basics.

BUT, the best tip I can give is to read, study and practice the exercises in Robert Bruce's NEW Energy Ways book, after being able to finish that book, and be able to do the exercises in it, together with you being able to make the Energy Exercises adeptly and/or made it a habit too, then read, study, and practice the exercises on Robert Bruce's Astral Dynamics.

I suggest focus on NEW Energy Ways first before focusing on Astral Dynamics.


Remember the basics in simplest sense:

-Energy Manipulation

-Chakra and Energy Pathways Development and Maintenance (all covered in Robert Bruce's NEW Energy Ways).

-Astral Projection


And as a present for being absent for a year, I will share to you the books: Astral Dynamics and NEW Energy Ways.

AND a bonus to help you guys become more... let's say, calm and collected, just something that can help you regarding some issues with one's mind, for Magick and Psionics relies more on your mindset, your current emotions and thoughts, and your mind plays a major part in Magick and Psionics, so I highly recommend you guys to read this book too; "The Unfettered Mind" by Takuan Soho.

There will surely be a LOT of benefits if you read, study and understand the things in that book, so please read it too, I highly recommend it.


Just PM me if any of the links doesn't work, (you can also check them yourself if you saw some error and fix it on your own), or if I am not allowed to share such things here. (I just want to help, that is why I am sharing such e-books that holds valuable information).



============

Once you have cleared the blockages from your Energy Centres (Chakras) and Energy Pathways in your body, and also developed them to be able to channel and manage larger amounts of energies, doing virtually any ability you have wished for; such as Healing, Combat, Banishing and such (except the... currently(?) impossible one such as Shapeshifting with any 3rd Dimensional Body using Magick, such as your physical body along with the others), will be much easier to do, those includes Micro and Macro-Psychokinesis, and any other plausible "'kinesis" out there.

Robert Bruce's NEW Energy Ways should help a lot in that area.

Clearing the Energy Blockages and developing your Energy Pathways and Energy Centres (Chakras) will enable you to manipulate larger amounts of energy that is enough, or more than enough, to actually cause your desired Change using these arts, it will help a lot, in other words, with a decently to highly developed Energy Pathways and Chakras, the learning curve for every ability you are interested in will not be that steep, but never forget to keep on practicing and don't give up, in order to develop a certain ability and become decent or adept at it, you must keep on practicing it.


"Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential."
-Winston Churchill


I suggest checking some good websites such as PsiPog.net and PsionicsOnline.net to check and get some ideas for some plausible types of "-kinesis" or Psychic Abilities.

And in the end, never forget, be creative with your Energy Manipulation tasks and techniques, "Nothing is True, Everything is Permitted".

==============


Astral Projection is kinda advanced for some of you, but for me, it's the dividing line itself between the "Advanced" and the "Basics", and to learn and become adept at that is a MUST, but then, to be able to do this efficiently, effectively, and easier, in my opinion and I believe; you must first develop your energy centers (Chakras) and Energy Pathways in your body, and clear them from Blockages, after that, the learning curve for Astral Projection shouldn't be that steep, plus, Robert Bruce's Astral Dynamics should help you a lot.

(And while in the Astral Plane, you can do Shapeshifting, but that is because it is not your 3rd Dimensional or "Physical" body you are shapeshifting, but your Projectable Double or your Energy Body, and Robert Bruce has this covered in his Astral Dynamics book too, even if it's not in the Physical Plane, I think and I hope, that can be enough to feed your Shapeshifting desires)

Again, the exercises from Robert Bruce's NEW Energy Ways should help you a lot in that area, I tried the book myself and is currently finishing it too. It works.

Another thing is the Trance state or Mental States, because specific Mental States can help you, if not required to be able to Astral Project, I think Robert Bruce's Astral Dynamics book has that covered.

Please remember that you must always maintain your Energy Centres and Energy Pathways free from Energy Blockages, so just do the exercises from Robert Bruce's NEW Energy Ways from time to time, at least once or twice every week after you have finally become quite adept, but if you have a lot of free time, feel free to work more on your Energy Body so that your abilities will improve some more.

This whole thing is like Martial Arts, you must keep on practicing it everyday for at least an hour or so, because if you stop, you might lose it all and start from the beginning again.

Another reminder is, please eat Healthy Foods. They help A LOT.

Please remember that: What is good for the Heart (I mean the internal organ in your body), is good for every part of your body too, including Hair, Skin, Fertility, and overall health.

You are what you eat, so I suggest that you should add more Vegetables and Fruits in your diet, and EXERCISE, study Martial Arts too such as Taekwondo, Karate, Aikido, Iaido, Kendo and such, I highly recommend it, it will help you become more mature (hopefully) and wise, plus it also exercises your body.

Through Exercise as well, you will make your Heart healthy, and thus, your physical body as well. Healthiness starts from WITHIN and not from WITHOUT.

Why am I telling these you say? Because with a healthy lifestyle and a healthy body, it will help you A LOT when it comes to Studying and Practicing Magick and Psionics too, take my word for it, plus the learning curves on each and every ability, I believe, will also be easier.

Blood is the mirror-image of the Energy flowing in your body, so as the Chakras together with their Physical Counterparts in your body, so be healthy Physically, and you will surely do better in your Magickal and Psionic studies and practices.

And lastly, try to be more optimistic, and think positively, ah, let me rephrase that, what I mean is, try and balance Pessimism with Optimism at a healthy level, and don't let Negative Energies such as Negative Emotions and Thoughts get the better of you, acknowledge their existence but don't let yourself be swayed and carried away by them, same goes for Positive Energies too though, just balance those two Energies, because Balance is important.

Learning to control your own self, such as your emotions and thoughts are necessary too, not only it will help you become a better person but it will help a lot in Magick and Psionics too, since these two relies more on your current thoughts and emotions (and intent).

Be a master of your own body and self, be a master of your own emotions and thoughts, learn to control them much like how you control your own Energies to cause Change through Magick and Psionics.

But generally, what I'm talking about is, be more kind to people especially strangers you haven't even met or heard of before, if you are naturally not, I mean, being stressed can make your health suffer too, so smile, and be happy, live in peace, and coexist with others in peace, is what I am saying.

It's already been a topic in medical articles nowadays that Stress are one of the factors of poor health, so yes, live healthy and be happy, or if someone is pissing you off, don't let your negative emotions and thoughts carry you away, you will lose your balance and make your judgment and thinking dulled, solve the situation and get rid of the problem while having a Serene Mind, not carried away by either Extreme Happiness or Extreme Anger, for too much of the same thing is bad, remain in balance and keep yourself Flowing Serenely.

I leave it to your own judgment as to what to do to your enemies though, but basically, you can do anything you want here, I respect your freewill, just be wise and learn or anticipate what might be the consequences of the thing you want to do, for every decisions and actions, no matter the reason will always have a benefit and a consequences, it's always a double-edged sword.


"Don't make decisions when you're Angry and don't make promises when you're happy."

That sort of thing.


========


Don't stop when you feel that you've finally become an adept, or if you felt that you've learned it all, keep growing, keep learning, and keep practicing, and may you become even more wiser as you grow personally, emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually.


"If you feel like giving up, think of the reason on why you held on for so long."


That's it, I'm not sure when I'll be back again but, good luck everyone and take care.

Oh wait, I forgot to add something important.

Along with Takuan Soho's book "The Unfettered Mind"; that book goes well with this book too; "The Book of Five Rings" by Miyamoto Musashi.

http://www.mediafire.com/?0zu3cwmi5vcccy2

Please read it too, it will help you even further when it comes to your mind, I really recommend you guys to read it.

Not only that, but it also deals with the art or way of the Sword, so if you are planning to study Kendo and/or Iaido, this book shall help a lot as well.

And if you are interested in Combat Magick/Astral Combat (combat while in the Astral Plane) too (I like to call these "Psychic Self-Defense" though), then this book will help you as well, since it gives instructions as to how to handle a Sword, a single-edged sword called Katana, specifically, as well as the right mindset and style and way, on how to use it.

But yes, this book also contains a very helpful information that can also help you even more on mastering your own very self, your own emotions and thoughts, for these are your own, and it is your right to become a master of it.

=====

That's it, see you some time in the future again.

Ah, looks like I'm back a bit earlier than expected.

I figured that some of you may have trouble understanding the concepts in Miyamoto Musashi's "The Book of Five Rings" book, but luckily, I have found a handy guide or interpretation for this book, you can download it here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?0gn616ao26tr25u

The Author seemed to have explained each chapter in the book even further. Though it deals with swordplay, it still has the Philosphy in it that can help you become in control of your mind even more.

=======

And also it would be good to remember these as well, just use them as you see fit:


The Way of Walking Alone (or The Way of Self Reliance)
Miyamoto Musashi
translation by Thomas Cleary...commentary in quotes is mine


Do not turn your back on the various Ways of this world ( the various methods of living this life)


Do not scheme for physical pleasure ( Don't let the satisfaction of passions rule your life)


Do not intend to rely on anything.


Consider yourself lightly; consider the world deeply. (your life is no big deal, what you do with it is)


Do not ever think in acquisitive terms (don't consider things solely in terms of personal gain-that's being greedy)


Do not regret things about your personal life (We all make mistakes and the world isn't perfect; get over it and do better next time)


Do not envy another's good or evil (you have your own concerns to address-don't wish for the fate of another)


Do not lament parting on any road whatsoever. (Things come and go, sure it sucks, but hey...)


Do not complain or feel bitterly about yourself or others (stop being a crybaby or a sap)


Have no heart for approaching the path of love (because you don't really know what it is)


Do not have preferences (Make do with what you have)


Do not harbor hopes for your personal home (you can lose it or never have it - besides, you have other things to get right)


Do not have a liking for delicious food for yourself (sure, go ahead and enjoy it, but don't be so picky, and learn to enjoy hunger)


Do not carry antiques handed down from generation to generation (keeps you attached to the past)


Do not fast so that it affects you physically (otherwise what's the sense of it? that's called starving yourself)


While it's different with military equipment, do not be fond of material things (take care of the tools of your trade)


While on the Way, do not begrudge death (It's coming anyway so don't live in fear of it-prepare)


Do not be intent on possessing valuables or a fief in old age (don't let desire for possessions stress you when you're old)


Respect the gods and buddhas, but do not depend on them ( It's still your mind, your choice and your responsibility no matter the dictates of heaven)


Though you give up your life, do not give up your honor (die on your feet don't live on your knees)


Never depart from the Way of the Martial Arts. (Once you choose a path cultivate it for life or you'll waste the good to find the perfect)

But never forget; all generalizations are false, and everything has their own limits and/or
exceptions. There is always a right time and place for everything and everyone. Be wise
on where, when, and how to decide and act.

And that's it, see you guys again in a few months, or year, if I got really busy again.
