I tried to find the appropriate dimensions once upon a time, but couldn't seem to run across anything consistent. So I figured Universe is telling me that it is not yet my puzzle to solve.
Nope, no knowledge, just some confused philosophical mush.
JustLikeYou Wrote:I seem to have confused you. When I first began to evoke the magical personality, I chose a gesture which I thought appropriate. I still use this gesture. I would like a more concrete symbol, but my repertoire of physical symbols is very small at the moment. I do not think that my act of evocation is very effective or efficient yet, so I strive on each occasion to maintain the proper focus and respect that this state of consciousness deserves in order that I may achieve a stronger evocation in later workings.
I developed a relationship with my Higher Self, which the magical personality is either part of or the whole it, by going into meditations and sleep with a prayer to merge with it. It took some time, but eventually I learned how to put my will behind the words, and then - when I woke one morning - It was there... I experienced time/space being in space/time. Since then I've had a very intimate relationship with it. Then something else happened, and I've got "too much" respect for it, treating it like a diety. Now I am just trying to polarize enough and get to know myself, and insh Allah, with a genuin and complete will and desire to be in service to others, maybe something magical happens indeed? :p
JustLikeYou Wrote:Sure. First, I'd note that an initiation is a kind of ceremony which marks the beginning of a new experience. It is a transformation (in the archetypical sense) and it is also a quantum shift.
The most recent one was a decision that I was ready to make contact with the male guide (one of the three which Ra mentions). I had long been in communication with the female, but had not yet had any interest in hearing the voice of the male. As soon as I did so, he lent me his strength and my perception of myself and my surroundings shifted. Almost instantly, I felt as if I was possessed of both greater wisdom and greater discipline. A similar experience happened when I made contact with the female: I was suddenly possessed of greater compassion and generosity.
Oh, I thought that you've meant initiations experienced in the body. :p
Cool that you developed a relationship with your guides!

Interesting pic in regards to pyramids, tesseracts, ankh and mathematical, geometrical ratios... *scratching my head*
