This nigga wasted a day of my life.

Yes, I've read a bit of it. I thought it would expand on some of the Kybalion's points, but all it really did was replace "Mind" with Summum. One of the few books giving additional info on the Hermetic Principles is the Stellar Man, but you've already read it.

What's with the formatting of Psychic Self-Defence?

I recommended it, but I didn't even start reading it. I assumed it would be good because it was an extension and referenced in the back of the original book in the YPS version. I did get the impression that it was fgtry. I am still going to check it out myself though. It came to my attention and I decided to look for the PDF, then found it.

I'm pretty sure this guy wrote the book literally so he could create a winery in Utah: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summum#Nectar_Publications

He made a LOT of money pulling this bullshit.

>What's with the formatting of Psychic Self-Defence?

It's fucked up man, there's missing pictures and the text is so incredibly small, I've been reading it on my tablet.

>tfw right now there's literally big pink welts on me from neg entities and I really should just be outside at this moment in the sunlight so they hard a harder time following me

>the original and perfect work that was The Kybalion

That's a big theory book on actual hermetic books what the fuck are you talking about? Nothing original, just a bunch of opinions attached to text that is freely available.

No fuck that, Bardon is wrong about destiny.

Atkinson > Bardon

>>37006

The Kybalion is the master key that opens all doors, it is way better than any other book you could possibly recommend, and it doesn't matter if the principles are contained in other texts because The Kybalion is the one text that describes those principles the very best and most clearly.

sheep following a Shepard, nothing more… I thought magic practitioners were suppose to be more than that…

>>37099

>hurrr durrr if you like this very obscure man's texts that you have to dig through thousands of other things to get to you're a sheep

>>37106

its the difference between self interpretation and their interpretation, their are obvious faults with your method and does put you in a sheep Shepard(the teacher) situation undeniably. Im sorry it bugs you so much, but its basic logic. I am quite literally making a reference to the hermeticus right now and you probably have no idea and you are taking it like a 12 year old uses sheep… which shows your lack of refined knowledge in the subjects.

>>37108

What the fuck are you even saying to me with your post there right now and what does it have to do with the fact Destiny is not legit at all?

Do you know what it means for something to be infinite?

Do you know what an Infinite Universal Living Mind is?

Do you know what implications infinity has for such outdated concepts as "fate", "predestination", and "destiny"?

Instead of randomly accusing me of whatever the fuck you're accusing me of there why not offer up a real argument in favour of your outdated metaphysics?

Read this book. I read it long ago as a child. It talks about zero, infinity, and void and shaped my thought on these matters a lot at an early stage in my life.

All what you mentioned is page one hermeticus corpus.

>>37115

Do you realize how short and concise the hermeticus corpus is?

>>37124

>>37126

Why are you mentioning the Corpus Hermeticum? We were talking about how Franz Bardon and Corky Ra are WRONG about destiny/fate.

>>37274

So two of the three most influential writers on this board (Montalk also uses destiny) are wrong? How could they be so misled? Bardon is widely accepted as a master who experienced and accomplished much with magic, while WWA doesn't have many known 'magical' accomplishments other than writing many books and perhaps being a skilled lawyer. WWA likely believed in Karma, considering he wrote so much on Yoga, which is similar to the idea of destiny. The Kybalion uses the word destiny with a capital D, showing they give it great importance…

>>37292

>word destiny with a capital D

>likely believed in Karma

Karma literally just means cause and effect. the sense of causality is an illusion created by our physical density bodies, more specifically our memory and sense of time. It comes from our old need to see things linearly to make sense of them.

Also, it was used in the Kybalion a grand total of one time. in that case, Destiny with a capital D is like truth with a capital T. It is not finite as one who doesn't understand or live in trans-temporality may initially believe. A destiny is like a charted course, it's always possible for destinies to change or to refer to a collective set.

"And, so, it follows that what each one of us is in this life depends upon is what we have been and how we have acted in our past lives… We are not punished for our sins, as the current beliefs have it, but instead we are punished by our sins. We are not rewarded for our good acts, but we received our reward through and by characteristics, qualities, affinities, etc., acquired by reason of our having performed these good acts in previous lives." - Atkinson

In this way, it seems like much of our lives are predestined, based on our actions from our many past lives and being born into favorable situations that allow us to significantly change our circumstances would be because of good acts in past lives.

>it seems like much of our lives are predestined

I agree. Does it make you feel less or more alive? It does not make me feel less or more alive. It is simply so.
