Okay, so quitting nicotine and marijuana, dont drink or do other drugs besides coffee/tea.
I dont eat very healthy, but I also dont have tie to cook, and am broke all the time. I usually eat at work.
I walk at least a 1/4 mile every day.

I can stand to lose my gut.
I need to get as high functioning as possible in terms of breath/respiratory functions.
I need to get a physical and heart testing done, as well as screening for colon cancer, all due to age.

So, there is some health and some lacking.
Now I need to get those three points in check. Taking Martial Arts and Swimming may be fair ideas.

It seems my past life in a Monastery is paying off in my life, due to no relationships/sex. Its fine by me.
It really is not that huge a deal beyind physical and mental excitement short lived.
However, the heart and soul, imo of the woman, has declined over the decades in a steady downward slope. Not saying all are heartless or soulless, but Ive encountered many.

So, asexual and isolated, no imbibing in drugs, in decent physical shape, I guess the only thing I can do then is the same thing I did in the Monastery, do my work and learn.

Well, seems like I was/an on the verge of being let go from one or both of my current jobs, or their planning and my paranoia is telling me so.
So. Will vamp up my weed knowledge and be ready to talk about the job with the dispensary manager tomorrow.
Done with food service, done with labor jobs, done with IT. Time to go get an education with transferable skills.

Well, we will see what transpires while I remain a diligent and hard worker. I did have a trainee that I trained, but my training seemed not up to par for the trainees liking, so we will see. I know a person I trained eventually took my job, many times actulally, but this one took my position over after I was let go, and is an assistant GM now. So I know I work hard despite events in the past.

Well, to keep on schedule, Geomancy week ends today. Rained out on a chance to go stone collecting. Now to backtrack and see what this weeks activity is. One week of Malkuth down.

On my reading, need to master basic Geomancy today. Including casting a chart and basic knowledge. Interpretation and sample readings as well as advanced material covered next four days, then onto Alchemy. (I think that is the next subject I listed), then Kaballah, then basic Planets and Houses.

Then Jul (Yesod/Foundation/Luna/Air/Levanah), first week - Aspects in Astrology
Second week - Mapping pros and cons of each sign and planet, and comparing to natal chart
Third week - Astrology review, Astral basics
Fourth week - Mind control

Path exercises from Case Tarot Fundamentals for Yesod will include Tav, Samekh, Resh, and Tzaddi.
So a bit of work cut out for me ....
Day 7 of Malkuth awareness.

How did I come to be so discriminating for the better in all areas of my life?
How did I come to be so active for the better in all areas of my life?
How did I come to be so peaceful for the better in all areas of my life?
How did I come to know my place in Malkuth in all areas of my life?
How did I come to bring my physical body under self-control in all areas of my life?
How did I come to Meditate every day?

Affirmations said, now to carry through with acts where letting every act be an act of love, whether thought, word or deed.

What can I review on the Mineral Kingdom and Geomancy -- not much sad to say.

Geomancy - a system of earth divination, commonly poking holes in the ground with a stick numerous times or pen and paper doing the same, and analyzing the figures, or throwing dice or skipping stones that are pip marked for purposes of divination. The timing must be as exact as possible to be reliable, in other words you must know how to interpret the casting. There are sixteen figures, curiously linked to the twelve zodiac signs and the four elements. In a combination of up to three pips, a part of a figure is cast, as no figures have more horizontal pips or dots than three tops. commonly one or two horizontal pips per figure.

The Mineral Kingdom: Elementals - Gnomes. Gnome ruler - Ghob (King). Three primary rock types exist: Igneous, Sedimentary, or Metamorphic.
Examples of the above are granite, sandstone, and basalt. Within each mountain or rock formations commonly exist a guardian or ruler called a Deva. Devas can span up to authority over countries. The Mineral Kingdoms prime objective to me seems to be to maintain the workings or machinery of the earth as still as it may seem, but everything vibrates, everything moves. We can fond that spirits exist within stones or plants, and can be communed with in various ways.

A good thing would be to commune with the Devas or the Gnomes themselves. Other Fairy folk exist as well within these two Kingdoms and all have and share a role.

Like I said, sad to say I cannot deliver a lecture on it yet. Seems I had enough time to do so from an external view, but this was honestly a blur, with six days off work in order to be able to get through this reading material and get understanding of it all. Will keep on Fortunes Mystical Qabalah, Three Books of Occult Philosophy, The Magus, and Greer and Regardie (and Ciceros) on Geomancy. Also Hodsons The Kingdom of the Gods.

I have fallen off daily work of Christophers book, Modern Magick, and Golden Dawn to treat each as a working or grimoire, and learn the entirety and use the entirety of the work contained in each. Initiation into Hermetic linked with The Kybalion, iow all Hermetic Magic has been put on hold.

I am currently trying the Mystic approach, we will see what transpires. Some small insights or cool experiences, yet not scientifically or logically proven that it was an actual thing.

Question

why do you jump from study to study without mastering it first or at least seeing if you can apply it?

Tarot Card for the Day:
Ten of Wands, Lord of Oppression. Malkuth of Atziluth. Saturn in Sagittarius.
Cruel and overbearing force and energy, but applied only to selfish and material ends. Sometimesshows failure in a matter, and the opposition too strong to be controlled arising from the person's too great selfishness at the beginning. I l-will, levity, lying, malice, slander, envy, obstinacy, swiftness in evil, if ill-dignified. Also generosity, self-sacrifice, and disinterestedness when well-dignified.
Makuth of Yod. (Cruelty, malice, revenge and injustice.) Therein rule Reyayel and Avarnel.

Jumping at the opportunity of teachers, and trying to follow their assignments they give to me.
I will repeat, none have been yet abandoned in my view, but I must follow this train to see where it ends up.

Tarot Contemplation Ritual:
XII Hanged Man. Elemental Water. Mem, 40, water. Geburah to Hod. Enforced sacrifice. Punishment, Loss. Fatal and not voluntary. Suffering generally. An elusive, because a profoundly sigruficant symbol. It is sacrifice - the submergence of the higher in the lower in order to sublimate the lower. It is the descent of the Spirit into Matter, the incarnation of God in man, the submission to the bonds of matter that the material may be transcended and transmuted. The colours are deep blue, white and black intermingled but not merged, olive, green and greenish fawn.
No star systems are mapped to the Elemental or Planetary Major Arcana keys. Only zodiac, due to division of Northern and Southern hemisphere actions.

10 Wands However, corresponds to Part of Pavi, Part of Hydra, water snake.

Appreciate it. The only thing that has currently stopped is rituals. Everything else is still done, adorations, meditation, etc.
The one thing I dont want to end up is an Armchair Mystic-Mage. I realize this will take work. Ive already had to turn down opportunities to travel to parts of Asia due to legal and financial issues on my end. This was the entire point of doing magic to me, to rebuild my life as I wanted it to be, that did not happen at all.

Gosh!

Consider if Reality were 3D. What then for the vertical aspects of geomancy?
That is a terrific question, I never would have thought of this.
For the vertical aspects of Geomancy then, I really dont know.

The only close thing I can think of is the meditation I did or tried to do to access a part of a right triangle vector of the tree based on three spheres and the vertex of those three spheres. Not sure this even comes close to what you're referring to.

Or

We look at a standard chart vs a flat chart, the flat chart In 3D might change.

Learn about leylines, Hartmann grid, Curry walls, meridians, wave guides, volcanic plugs etc

As I recall, Close Encounters of the Third Kind featured a volcanic plug. What was the soft disclosure?

Will do. I was trying to make sense of the link you posted, in particular in where I would have to re-position my bed.
Will research these.

Have gone back to Juul, nearly smoked a cigarette I have laying on my ancestral saucer (snacks, pot, candles, incense, tea, cigarette commonly on there, as well as jewelry and coins); but did not cave in, primarily to thinking back to a reference made that an entity wants me to smoke on.
That cannot be a good influence.

However, the move back to Juul until I can just do a cold turkey quit, is the way to go rather than cigarettes or cigars.

Okay, time to educate folks .... this is not new material from moi, but rather a text pad writeup of a few matters.
This is said upon rising in this order, 0 to 10, then at night before retiring, we say it from 10 to 0. Like counting sheep you might say.

The Pattern on the Trestleboard - This Is Truth About The Self

0 All the Power that ever was or will be is here now.
1 I am a center of expression for the Primal Will-to-Good which eternally creates and sustains the Universe.
2 Through me its unfailing Wisdom takes form in thought and word.
3 Filled with Understanding of its perfect law, I am guided, moment by moment, along the path of liberation.
4 From the exhaustless riches of its Limitless Substance, I draw all things needful, both spiritual and material.
5 I recognize the manifestation of the Undeviating Justice in all the circumstances of my life.
6 In all things, great and small, I see the Beauty of the Divine Expression.
7 Living from that Will, supported by its unfailing Wisdom and Understanding, mine is the Victorious Life.
8 I look forward with confidence to the perfect realization of the Eternal Splendor of the Limitless Light.
9 In thought and word and deed, I rest my life, from day to day, upon the sure Foundation of Eternal Being.
10 The Kingdom of Spirit is embodied in my flesh.


This is a copy-paste, I believe from the Ciceros Self Initiation book on the LRP
The LBRP is to be done 2x daily, once upon rising, once before retiring, try to space as close to 12 hours apart as possible or do more than twice a day, as it has a 12 hour self life of being active shields.
THE LESSER BANISHING RITUAL OF THE PENTAGRAM (LBRP)
Stand and face East. Perform the Qabalistic Cross.
Facing East, use the index finger of the right hand, a dagger, or the black end of the
Outer Wand of Double Power to trace a large banishing pentagram of Earth.
Thrust the dagger/wand tip or index finger through the center of the pentagram and
vibrate ìYHVH.î (Yode-Heh-Vav-Heh), (Keep the right arm extended throughout;
never let it drop. The pentagrams should be visualized in either a flaming blue or
brilliant white Light.)
Turn to the South and trace the same pentagram there. Charge the figure as before,
intoning ìADONA/î (Ahdoh-nye).
Turn to the West and trace the pentagram. Charge it with ìEHEIEHî (Eh-hey-yay).
Turn to the North and draw the pentagram, intoning ìAGLAî (Ah-gah-lah). Keep the arm extended.
Turn to face the East. Extend both arms out in the form of a cross and say,
ìBefore me RAPHAELî (Rah-fahy-el). Visualize before you the great Archangel of Air rising out
of the clouds in flowing yellow and violet robes, carrying a Caduceus Wand.
Behind you visualize another figure and say ìBehind me GABRIELî (Gah-bree-el).
See the Archangel stepping out of the sea like the goddess Venus, dressed in robes
of blue and orange, with cup in hand.See to your right another figure in flaming red and green
robes carrying a sword.
Say ìOn my righthand MICHAELî (Mee-ehai-el). See another great Archangel at your left, who rises
up from the vegetation of the Earth in robes of citrine, olive, russet, and black, holding stems
of ripened wheat.
Say, ìOn my lefthandURfELî (Ur-ee-el).
(Say:) ìFor about me flames the pentagram, and in the column shines the Six-rayed Star.î
Repeat the Qabalistic Cross.

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

Uses of the Pentagram Ritual
This simple yet powerful cleansing ritual can be used as a protection against the impure magnetism
of others. It is also a way to rid oneself of obsessing or disturbing thoughts. Give a mental image
to your particular thought or disturbance and visualize it before you. Project it out of your aura
with the Saluting Sign of a Neophyte, and when it is away from you, prevent its return with the Sign
of Silence. Then imagine the form in the East and perform the LBRP. See the form dissolving on the
outside of your ring of flaming pentagrams.
The LBRP can be used as an exercise in concentration. While seated or lying down, formulate yourself
standing up in robes and holding a dagger. Place your consciousness in this astral form and go to the
East. Make yourself ìfeelî there by touching the wall, opening your eyes, stamping on the floor, etc.
Let your astral form perform the ritual, circumambulating the room and mentally vibrating the words.
Finish in the East and try to see your results astrally, then walk back and stand behind your physical
body and let your astral body be re-absorbed. The LBRPis to be performed daily for no less than a period
of six months.
In fact, it should be practiced daily regardless of ones grade. The Golden Dawn manuscripts advocated
doing the invoking form of this ritual in the morning and the banishing form at night. However we feel
that the Neophyte needs to concentrate solely on the banishing form, since s/he has a tendency to light
up on the astral and unknowingly attract all manner of Elementals at this early stage of the Work.
It is far more important for the Neophyte to know how to banish rather than to invoke. Anyone can attract
an Elemental or an energy. Getting rid of the same can be more difficult.

I dont have the entire thing here, but here are instructions:
USE ONLY YOUR INDEX FINGER.
While this may correspond to a particular planet, it is the most common finger used. Some prefer to use the middle finger, but I digress...
1. Face east and shut your eyes.
2. Start breathing rhythmically, to a count of four -
Inhale 2 3 4
Hold 2 3 4
Exhale 2 3 4
Pause 2 3 4
Repeat until it becomes natural.
3. See yourself growing larger and taller, too large to be contained in this planet, or even the Milky Way.
4. Once you see a bright light, touch it with your index finger and bring your index finger to the center of your forehead and vibrate (speak from diaphragm) ATOH. (ah-toe)
5. Drop index finger, pointing to floor/feet, and vibrate MALKUTH (maahl-kooth). See it as green or black at your feet.
6. Tap right shoulder with index finger, seeing it glow scarlet, and vibrate VE GEBURAH (vay guh-boo-rah)
7 With index finger, cross from right shoulder to left shoulder, and tap left shoulder, vibrate VE GEDULAH (vay guh doo lah)
8 Stretch arms out as in an archetype of the Cross of Calvary and vibrate LE OHLAM, AMEN (lay oh-laahm, Ah-men)
This Qabbalistic Cross is used prior to and wrapping up after any other ritual, such as the LRP or LRH.

The Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram (LRP), Earth Banishing (or LBRP)
1. Perform Qabbalistic Cross
2. Keep breathing rhythmically.
3. With index finger, starting from lower left hip (placement oil the pentagram of the earth element), and draw a white or blue flame from LL hip to top center of head (placement in the Pentagram for the Spirit element).
4. Draw line from top center of head down to lower right hip (placement on the pentagram of the fire element)
5. Draw flame from LRH up to upper left shoulder (placement in the pentagram for the Air element)
6. Draw line straight across from ULS to upper right shoulder (placement in pentagram of the water element)
7. Finish by drawing flame from URS down to LLH, finishing drawing the pentagram
8 Stab center of pentagram with index finger while vibrating a divine name - YHVH (Yode Hay Vaav Hay).
9. Turn two steps right to face South, repeat steps 2-8 using the divine name here Adonai (ah-doh-nye-ee)
10 Turn to steps right to face West, repeat steps 2-8 using the divine name Ehieh (Ay uhh huh yay)
11. Turn two steps right to face North. Repeat steps 2-8 using the divine name AGLA (ah guh lah)
12. Take two steps right to face East again, now call the Archangels and finish the LRP
13. Take a moment and see, sense, feel, the pentagram around you, really feel them and know they are there.
14 Eyes still shut, say/VIBRATE:
Before me, RAH-FAH-ELL
Behind me, GAH-BREE-ELL
At my right hand, MYE-KAH-ELL
At my left hand, AH-YOU-REE-ELL
For about me flames the pentagram, and within and above me shines the six rates star.
15. Finish with Qaballistic Cross
=================================================================================

This, along with the LRP, is to be done daily with all diligence. Some salutary results may follow.

ADORATION TO THE LORD OFTHE UNIVERSE
Face East and say, ìHoly art Thou, Lord of the Universe!î Give the Projection Sign.
Say, ìHoly art Thou, whom Nature hath not formed!î Give the Projection Sign.
Say, ìHoly art Thou, the Vast and the Mighty One!î Give the Projection Sign.
Say, ìLord of the Light, and of the Darkness!î Give the Sign of Silence.
(Note: This affirmation should be done daily.)
