Invisibility
psy_worm: if one was adept at psychic abilities could such a person bend your perception to make himself appear invisible?
dracy: psy: well, according to book of abremelin the mage
yes it sposible
EvonneT.Story: i never thought of it as bending someone else's perception worm
dracy: but like it aint easy
EvonneT.Story: but one of the siddhis is invisibility
Anima: the reduction of one's form to one atom. Invisibility
dracy: i thought :P
btw, you missed your chance worm
Corvus: *lol* invisibility, or the art of blending in?
dracy: the ritual of abramelin is to be started on easter
EvonneT.Story: i read a master who states that it is a meditation technique
psy_worm: im considering k's story about his master and the machete- you recall evonne?
EvonneT.Story: i am not sure i recall that one worm
Corvus: hm, apparently Bellanger's vampire ritual book is now on Sacred Texts....awsome
dracy: vampires have rituals?
EvonneT.Story: and great clothes
Corvus: Some do
psy_worm: he was called for a late night one on one where his master attacked him with a machete and k side stepped and passed one another and when he turned around he wasnt there
Corvus: *lol*
psy_worm: the machete Was real
EvonneT.Story: oh yes
psy_worm: the janitor or somebody said nobody had been in all night
and so forth
EvonneT.Story: the master was never physically there
but made himself appear to be there was the way i recall it
psy_worm: yea, but k also said he never and still hasnt figured it out
EvonneT.Story: "becoming one with an object," an advanced meditation technique for invidibility.
psy_worm: at least at the writing of that story
dracy: whats the story you're talking baout?
EvonneT.Story: Kellog's story somewhere on SLC
Corvus: Bellanger is Michelle Belllanger, one of the foundational members of House Kheperu, a vampire order. They have their own beliefs and theories, ideas and doctrines, as well as a generalized working ritual system....
dracy: what do vamps worship?
Corvus: depends on the vamp
EvonneT.Story: bigger vampires
:D
psy_worm: and im just wondering, he could of been there, to weild the machete, but selectively choose when and to whom to be appearent
Corvus: *lol*
Corvus: there's atheists, christians, pagans....you name it, they got it.....
dracy: well who does thana balanger worship?
Corvus: to be honest, i do not know who she worships, other than the divine within and the divine without
Corvus: she has a definite egyptian slant, but that has a lot to do with the house itself, and her recollected apast life memories
EvonneT.Story: he could worm
but i think it is better the other way around
psy_worm: more likely or better story?
EvonneT.Story: either way, a great feat
psy_worm: oh most definately
EvonneT.Story: but i thought it better to never actually go, but appear to be there
EvonneT.Story: and then disappear just as fast
i recall another story of someone walking on the water
he said he never left his spot but only made himself appear to be walking on the water
psy_worm: would still seem like a psychic influence than an actual dematerialisation
EvonneT.Story: so people watch the appearance
psy_worm: but hell ya neve rknow
EvonneT.Story: that is true worm
it would be nice to really know
dracy: psy: what about making someone forget he has seen you?
same effect
but done easier
EvonneT.Story: true drac
psy_worm: essentially what im saying
ever seen the movie predator
psy_worm: how he bends light for camoflage
i would think its like that- only bending your minds perception of light
EvonneT.Story: so you think the memory is modified?
EvonneT.Story: in the schools, learning to appear and not really being there is commonly done...for some reason if you cannot call
to send messages
psy_worm: really?
EvonneT.Story: you start to learn it in the lower grades
psy_worm: what schools ya refeering to?
EvonneT.Story: the witchy ones
Corvus: Sendings
psy_worm: oh
Corvus: *lol*
Corvus: The rituals of the vampire community have grown into a unique tradition all their own. Often separate from rituals invoking gods or goddesses,
Corvus: the rituals of the vampire community are typically focused on reaffirming the bonds of that community and evoking the power of the individual.
Corvus: and the book follows through; the rituals are largely designed to evoke and emphasize the individual, rather than a specific deity
EvonneT.Story: but like the Aboriginese say
i just call
lol
psy_worm: how about manipulating physical objects? telekinesis combined with appearing?
EvonneT.Story: when i nearly died
and i was out of my body
EvonneT.Story: i found it impossible to influence physical objects
EvonneT.Story: in a panic i tried to turn on a light switch
my hand passed right though it
then my hand passed through it frantically about 50 times
no luck
EvonneT.Story: the light switch stayed on the off position
dracy: lol, evonne, seems you need to pass abremelins ritual too :)
EvonneT.Story: but if i can have the appearance of appearing
and the feeling of appearing
i can also have the appearance of having objects
and the feeling of them
other wise, i would have to go everywhere nude
:)
Corvus: *lol*
psy_worm: so the riddle hinges apon the validity of wether the machete was real or "real" lol
EvonneT.Story: i don't know
dracy: where can i read that story?
psy_worm: me neither
EvonneT.Story: i know that physical objects can be seemingly manipulated by non-physical forces
i.e. poltergeist
i just think it is difficult as heck
from my little experience
psy_worm: oh yea
dracy: and usually poltergeist needs a bridge
something to link spiritual with a material
a human
thats why ghosts do crazy stuff when people are near
EvonneT.Story: i imagine you can learn to appear and perhaps manipulate objects with your consciousness, but you would need so much energy to do that, it is amazing
dracy: they are helpless without humans
and when people come they just want to have fun
EvonneT.Story: it is often thought that the person is actually the poltergeist
but they do not have control or knowledge of their energy yet
When Thomas died this weekend, i found some electronic equipment had been upset and unplugged during the night
EvonneT.Story: not far from his spot
where he would leap to the table
and i can't turn on a darn light switch
:p
dracy: how then do huted houses work?
EvonneT.Story: poltergeists and ghosts are different i think drac
there are all sorts of reasons behind hauntings
dracy: whats with the light switch?
Corvus: *lol* you might be overthinking the problem ev
dracy: i didnt understand that part
EvonneT.Story: i was not thinking at all corv
i was panicked
i never saw myself before seemingly dead
i thought i could use some help
since i already experienced the collapse and sort of slowly fading to black
Corvus: thomas just does it as it comes naturally, without thinking about it--ti doesn't matter if he's physical or not, it's not important to him, he doesn't think about it....but knowing, even on a minute level that you are not your physical self.....
EvonneT.Story: and then jumping up
to find out
my body did not jump up
just me
dracy: what happened to light switch?
EvonneT.Story: when my hand passed through the light switch the first time
that is what made me look back
seeing myself still in bed [AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!]
is what made me try to turn on the light switch about 50 times
lol
funny now...
i heard voices
dracy: oh
EvonneT.Story: lots of them
dracy: an astral travel?
EvonneT.Story: like an auditorium full of people
i was very sick drac
the noise was coming from the door through my room
i started walking towards the door
dracy: like one of those clinical death stories?
and?
EvonneT.Story: and my "mother" came and blocked the doorway
ZAP!
i was back
it turns out from the virus i got it affected my heart
but i got better
almost no one does when that happens
but they said i had a good chance since i survived the fever
dracy: wow
Missing Our Best Friends
or
What is Mary Jo?
dracy: btw, why did thomas die?
what happened to him?
EvonneT.Story: they don't know what happend to my dear thomas
they did everything to help him
but he did not respond to antibiotics
dracy: oh
pity
EvonneT.Story: i miss him very much
EvonneT.Story: he was my constant companion
dracy: i remember
when my cat was dying
dracy: long ago
EvonneT.Story: awww drac. i know how sad that is.
dracy: i took some church book of prayers
EvonneT.Story: you must have been small
dracy: which was said to have prayers that did miracle in their own time
and was praying over him
funny is that he started to feel better
then i calmed down
my sister came and took him to the vet
there he died :(
it was she
still very young
lived with me some half a yeae
EvonneT.Story: awww
dracy: year
EvonneT.Story: really little
EvonneT.Story: our pets have such short, beautiful little lives.
dracy: well the cat was older
it was some 3 months itsel when i got him
i remember her sitting on my sisters newly solved puzzle of 1000 pieces
dracy: and when we tried to gently take her of, she started to run, and sonn, there was no puzzle, but 1000 pieces were back
EvonneT.Story: lol
Corvus: heh
dracy: but the cat was kind of hyper
it would run through the room
from one wall to another
jumping at walls and running back
EvonneT.Story: a greyhound among cats
dracy: she did it for some 2 hours in a row
noone had any idea why
EvonneT.Story: hittin' the cat nippus
dracy: the what?
EvonneT.Story: cat nip
the herbs
the kitty bones
the mary jo
dracy: 0_o
the mary jo?
EvonneT.Story: mary jane ;)
except cat nip
Corvus: *lol*
EvonneT.Story: Nepeta cataria
dracy: corv: will you explain what evonne is trying to say?
Corvus: Janus is hyper until she has some nip....then she just rolls round and is happily stoned
EvonneT.Story: alright
goodnight everyone!
Corvus: *lol*
dracy: bye
Corvus: goodnight ev
EvonneT.Story: i will leave you two to explain mary jo.
:D
