Thought Forms (Introduction to Magic, #3) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Neither a dry, philosophical treatise, nor a book of do-goody inspiration, Thought Forms is a practical, no-holds-barred guide to the theory and practice of magic.

Starting out with a description of your own astrological birth type, Thought Forms explains how and why your parents and society have entangled and misled you from your true feelings and destiny - the reason you were born - and how you can get back on track.

With a light and witty exposition of the history and future of consciousness, Thought Forms explains that what you call everyday life - or the "real world" - is actually a specialized form of dreaming: that the world seems real to you only because you've been taught to consider it real, and that you can bring another world of magic and joyfulness into being just by changing what you believe is reality.

Combining teachings from Jungian psychology and shamanism, Thought Forms gives simple yet effective techniques for putting the theory into practice: for reversing your social conditioning, disentangling yourself from the webs of other people, and putting yourself in touch with your true feelings.

Although the approach is astrological, no previous knowledge of astrology is required to understand and use the astrological techniques. In fact, the book is a great beginner's introduction to the power and potentials of astrology.

Contents include:
Astronomical and astrological explanations of personality types defined by Mercury's synodic cycle its cycle of phases as it circles the sun, with tables 1900-2050;

Autorenporträt

Bob Makransky is a systems analyst, computer programmer, and professional astrologer. For the past 48 years he has lived on a farm in highland Guatemala, where he is a Mayan priest and is head of the local blueberry growers' association.

Bob became interested in magic at Micky Russo's Spiritualist Church in San Francisco in the 60's, but it wasn't until twenty years later that he began channeling spirits himself. He moved to Guatemala in the early 70's and started a farm which operates on principles akin to Rudolf Steiner's Biodynamics, but with a Mayan slant. He became involved with local Mayan priests because of Mayan calendar software he had written, which they had all adopted; and he was given a ritual to invoke Mayan spirits himself. He studied Mayan astrology and performed ceremonies with his teacher, Don Abel Yat Saquib, until Don Abel's death in 2009.

The Magician's Creed

You are the people,
You are this season's people
There are no other people this season.
If you blow it, it's blown.
Stephen Gaskin

I. The human race is in imminent danger of self-destructing and dragging our mother earth down with it.

II. There will be no miraculous salvation due to Mayan prophecies; or Jesus' or the Mahdi's return; much less from the irresponsible governments, corporations, media, and academics who got us into this mess in the first place.

III. The theory of probable realities states that each individual person decides the fate of the entire universe. If you truly choose to save the world, you will wind up in a probable reality in which the world is saved.

IV. The only chance for survival not to mention prosperity is for each individual to reject society's mutual suicide pact and make saving the earth and future generations their NUMBER 1 PRIORITY (as opposed to something they may get around to someday). This is the magician's equivalent of the Bodhisattva's oath.

V. Rejecting social conditioning means eradicating all trace of self-pity. Only by clear, sober, objective thinking (not unquestioning adherence to beliefs) can each individual save him/herself and the earth.

VI. This type of thinking is based upon what each person's heart tells them. It is different for everybody; and everybody has to find their own answers for themselves by examining their own habitual thoughts, moods, and concerns minutely. To do this magicians use various techniques, in...
