I am a magician. Or occultist. The title means nothing to me, as it is just a name. (I am also a regular on HN, but choose to register for a temp account.)
I am an engineer by profession. I'm paid to figure things out, and to make those things cheaper or more efficient.
I originally came across what the common person knows as witchcraft from originally studying Yoga and Tantra from the East. I was witness to television and in person the abilities of those practitioners. I watched, and am working on Tumo (the art of creating massive amounts of heat in the body). I have been able to leave the body, like a dream state but retaining full consciousness.
The more I worked on these earlier techniques, other things made sense. I slowly am now able to perceive energy around others, as well as can tell when people are being deceiving (it changes their color).
Maybe I'm crazy. I can accept that. I'll answer questions if people have them.
- dmoney 15y agoI don't have a question, but I do have an observation. The "science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with the will" could be the definition of a lot of disciplines: business, hacking, engineering, painting, politics. It's unfortunate that you felt you had to register anonymously to talk about this particular form of magic. Okay, I do have a question: how do you feel the "occult" type of magic is connected with what the author is talking about (i.e. magic = imagination + determination)? Are they completely different beasts? Is one a subclass of the other?
