Light as a feather And Ouija Magical Techniques used by Ancient Man to Build Large Structures

Light as a feather stiff as a board and Ouija board phenomena seems it has the potential to be utilized by ancient man to do heavy lifting , moving  and sliding of large stones. if the techniques were worked with and the more mechanical aspects of these phenomena could be taking advantage of and used to possibly a superhuman level. if you have 50 people using these techniques to do heavy lifting it seems the potentials are pretty mind blowing. Also in the case of the Egyptians the used magic and ritual in every aspect of their lives it doesn't seem to far fetched that they would have created magical techniques for building also. Still am trying to find the reference but i read in a book or article about a temple in Greece where the priest would put their hands on a statue and it would move around to various squares and they would divine from its movements so it seems like ouija board phenomena could be utilized for moving large objects along with its divinatory purposes.

Introduction Tantra ( work in progress)

In attempts to demystify in many ways some of the more esoteric instructions of tantra.  Itself being a esoteric and more mystical form of teaching which is also known as a magical body of practice. some of the practical methods and symbolic Methods will be brought to light with some explanation of why the practices are being used for mental and spiritual training and how this can be a very effective way for coming to a greater understanding of ourselfs and the relationship we have with our mental and spiritual reality. Action oriented areas of practice are geared for bringing about realisation in a instant so many of the methods and practices can seem a bit chaotic or intense. In Tibet the name for a portion of the various tantric practices is Vajrayana which means the lightening vehicle or Diamond Vehicle its aim is to bring the practioner to enlightenment in one life time. Its method is truely intergrative in that every experience is intergrated and used to bring one to realisations which lead to progressively higher stages of realisation of latent capacites and abilites of the persons own being. Interacting with the persons spirit, will, intellect, imagination and inspiration various physical practices even doing full body prayers known as prostrations as a way to bring the full body in to the practice all in attempts to interact with the practioners whole experienced reality. As the practioner advances the practices can have the character of taking alot more awareness and concentration to complete. The visualisations start out simply as a small object in a picture or various letters and can get progressivly complexe eventually returning to simiplicity with a different perception.These practices point the way in ones mind. The practices make way for actual experiences. Something happens with out any activity on your part. The interesting fact of how tantra is taught in progressive stages of action to non action and physical to more mental and spiritual is a very interesting progression in itself. Its in line with the idea that practice makes perfect and fallows the pattern of any other method of training the body and mind. weather it be a something like chess or basket ball  or as it has been in the past being the best warrior.
The Tantric path itself is a path of sages people already well versed in spirituality the men of the past that were classed as mystics, alchemtist and magicians. The transformation of emotions and the ablities to come to vaulabe information through the various insites and understandings that are provided in these traditions and the experiences they provide. which can bring about changes that can be seen by others. Which provide for the colorful refrences through out history of many of the great tantrics and yogis. As many aspects of mental and phsycial yoga are used in the tibetan tantric path.
The goal of this path is awakening to the highest potetnial of the mind-body and its interaction with reality a very interesting goal and many different methods for doing so. This goal is reminesent and similar to many of the other mystical paths around the world that aim at coming in to closer communion with what actually Ultimately exist. These methods can effectivly be used in our everyday lives small aspects of the overall practice can help with being more relaxed and understanding. Its froms of using divine qualities and identifying and unifying with these divine qualites is another very interesting process that will be talked about later on that has been used all through out the past to effect the mind in many dynamic ways. The process is quite different from brining a external force inward. Everything is apect of the reality itself we are intimately linked with nature it is our being so all of the aspects that are practiced with are aspects of ourselfs and our reality.


Meditation
A very practice a benefical way to start to get in to a rythum with meditation practice is to start with small incraments of time and gradually increase the time when ever you feel like it the most important thing is that you get some meditation time in each day no matter how short even if its just 1 to 5 minuets. With these shorter meditaiton times it is good to just relax and calm the thoughts. This is difficult for everyone at first but it gets progressivly easier as your body and mind get used to the feeling. It is good to have a comfortable or quite place to sit but not necessary it just makes it easier espically in the beginning to lessen the distractions. Also it can help to use a single point of focus in the mind such as the breath or a point on the body. As you focus on a single thing it can help to calm the mind down almost completely if the mind is calm and not being pulled in many different directions by various other points of focus in your life. You will have more mental energy and all of the subconscious energy that was being put in to these various thoughts and emotions settled. This also makes for easier focus and concentation on your point of focus. After all what we think about focus and concentrate on make up our lives so it is important to understand how and why different points of focus and concentration effect our lives.

On Divinations Use of Automatic Movement. Gaining Information from Spirit Itself

Divination main point is gaining information from a non ordinary state of consciousness or reality(hence divination to be in spired or in spirited). Many don't take in to account that the ideomotor reflex or Automatism( the suconscious and unconscious movements of the persons finger or hand) is the point of  divination methods which use sources of automatic motion. The method is for gaining information from non conscious or non ordinary conscious state. the methods are counting on a aspect of ourselfs that picks up on more inforemation then the conscious self. Information not gained through the sense experience but the mind itself or spirit itself. The Greeks would divine with wind chimes and babbling brooks this is a methods to take the conscious mind completely out of the equation in attempts to use the subconscious and unconscious mind to make connections.Once something is brought to mind as a pendulum a bird it becomes directly involved in ones mental reality and the patterns already present allow people to overlay personal situations and questions in attempts to gain information from nature itself or the spirit of the person itself (psyche).

Terence Mckenna's Transcendental Object, Hyperdimensional Mushroom, Gerett lisi's E8, and Hyperintelligent Coral, Sepher Yetzirha

Terence Mckenna : Transcendental object at the end of time
The transcendental object at the end of time pulling all of time towards it. This idea is a very smart one for working around the problems of the transcendental being in philosophy. This strange attractor that dips in and out of reality through the imagination and novelty in nature creating more novelty in its wake. Archetypes seem like veins stretching through larger transcendental objects along with being transcendental objects themselves that extend through various levels of our practical experience such as with love and joy and extraordinary  impractical experience. The hyper-dimensional mushroom its consciousness would connect through all the mycelium through out the universe like a neural network making spores to eventually reach other solar systems and making relationships and connections with species of all different environments. the chemicals the plants make interact with our neural networks working to evolve our perceptions and conscious deeper relationships with these neurotransmitters could effectively alter our nervous system to come to new areas of experience itself as the theory goes. He to speaks of Hyperdimensional coral  as a model also from time to time.

Gerrett lisi has come up with a model of the universe based on the e8 mathematical set a 248 dimensional group of points this representing all the different particles that make up reality. This 8 dimensional object would be rolling over space-time and as it moves various potentials would become possible. He uses the hyper-intelligent coral to explain how the coral could be the same thing in many different places at the same time as it makes copies of itself.
Garrett Lisi: A beautiful new theory of everything

Sepher Yetzirha - 231 gates of creation - Interesting similarities to one of the first complex geometric transcendental object that informed space-time. From the a early Kabbalah text.
