Oogy Boogy...

Strange occurrences are still happening. Nothing as violent as the fixtures when it first started, but there's flickering lights, a touch lamp that turns on by itself when the fickering light has been turned off. It's not really bothering me, but it's pretty wild. I've always been interested in the paranormal, and now it looks like I'm getting a crash course.

I'm still wondering if this is a product of my own consciousness. However, the last few occurrences have happened when I wasn't there, and the first when my fiance was not home. So it does not seem like it is attached to one person. Who knows? As long as my Fiance can put up with it, it's cool with me.

Thelemic Rituals

I have begun to focus much more on the Thelemic versions of the and the MPE. I am presently alternating everyother day between the traditional and Thelemic.
The Thelemic versions really are a whole different current. Not only are the element/direction attributions different, but the whole rite is based on a different perspective. In the traditional version, I am standing on the intersection of Samech and Pe, between Tiphareth and Yesod, the elements/Sephiroth take their place based upon this scheme.
The Thelemic LBRP is more focused on ascension. There's a different perspective the rite is being viewed from, and a slightly different, or rather enriched purpose to it as well. The visualization is easier for me in the T-LBRP as well. I use the Sons of Horus as the guardians of the directions rather than the Archangels of the Traditional form (east Man, West Jackal, South Hawk, North Ape). I implement the elemental colors as a back-drop with geometry/pattern complementing the nature of the element(Fire: Flames/Volcanic scene, Water: Blue and Orange, Air: White and Gold, Earth: Green and Rust.
I am also learning the Tarot much more efficently by using the Minor Arcana, and Major Arcana card(s) which correspond to the Planet of the day. For example: On Tuesday I use the fives, and the Tower. I keep the Major Arcana card corresponding to the current Zodiac sign on my altar as well. I have even been utilizing the Pentacles of the Greater Key Of Solomon the King. The whole point is to immerse myself in the planet's energy. The more cues the better to do this. As I use these cues I learn them, and they serve their purpose in my ritual, it's all very complementary. 93 93/93

Increased Activity

Last night while I was out with a study group, another fixture came down from the cieling. My fiance calls me and let's me know the fixture in the kitchen crashed down to the floor while she was sitting in the livingroom. This is less than 24 hours after the fixture crashed down in my temple. She futher explained, that there were hissing gurgling sounds coming from the kitchen, which would cease when she would walk over to investigate.
My Frater verified what I already suspected: This is a sign of progress in my grade. I am becomming a beacon on the astral place and I am attracting beings, energies, however one wants to think about it. It's actually pretty exciting. I have tweaked my license to depart and I am focusing on my banishing more.
Since being offered the Sanctuary charter to think about, and these other occourances, my practice is picking up. I am visualizing the pentagrams and archangels more readily and I feel my visualizations from my third eye are taking shape as well. All is well, and only getting better. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law, Love is the Law, Love under Will.

Energies

Last night I was doing my ritual, and it felt like a particularly powerful one. When doing my MPE, I descended the light of Kether down through my forehead and envisioned my 3rd eye opening. I was able to see my eastern temple quite vividly. Then while doing my adoration the candles on my alter seemed to all grow brighter. I felt very grounded and centered through the whole ritual as well.

Then, when I finish, I am about 1 1/2 minutes into my journal entry when I hear a loud crash come from my Temple. I run in and see that the glass fixture had fallen from the ceiling and broke all over the floor. At first it was really creepy, and the violence of the phenomenon seemed like it could possibly be malevolent. Upon reflection however, I have come to see it as a validation that the energies I am working with, and my serving as a conduit of them, are just becoming more powerful and manifesting in my work more visibly. At this stage I am even a bit excited by the occurrence. All else is going well, practice, practice, practice... Abrahadabra
