all is within

“𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐯𝐞.” 

                                       — 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐬, 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐝 𝐓𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐭

the 3D is not outside of you. the 3D is not separate from you. the 3D is a part of you. the 3D is within you.

everything is within you. therefore, it’s impossible for your manifestations not to come into fruition. 

anything that exists in your 4D must exist in the 3D. they are connected. they are yin and yang. balance is needed throughout the whole universe, therefore 4D and 3D are two sides of the same coin; the same coin which is your imagination.

accept you are one with your desire. it is all within you. you have all realities within you. nothing exists out of you, nothing. you have full control because it’s all INSIDE of YOU.

YOU. YOU. YOU. you are the only operant power because EVERYTHING is YOU pushed out.

this idea is not something new. it is ancient wisdom passed down from the time of Atlantis. it is a widely accepted notion in occult practices. you have found this because you are meant to take control of your life. this was destined for you. you are on the right path, for you have discovered this ancient wisdom. everything is yours, simply because nothing exists without you. everything is yours, simply because all is you. everything is yours, simply because you’re the only creator of your reality. follow your soul’s directions and complete everything you desire, for that is your purpose. no matter how trivial or frivolous your desire may seem in the grand scheme of things, it’s important because YOU, the infinite soul; the infinite consciousness, has DESIRED it.

do not compare yourself to others for others may not have the same purpose as you. if you wish to have constant fun, fulfill it. if you wish to become famous, fulfill it. there is a reason for which your desires have formed in the first place, and that is to fulfill the will of the consciousness; which is you, which is us. do not be blindsided by what you think you must do. what you think you must create, not through the wish of your own, but through the pressure of societal standards. for you are the cause and solution for everything. remove everything that gets in your way and succeed. you were meant to succeed. i believe in you.

The new top, now on my person.

The difficulty with this project was how delicate the fabric is. Cutting, it was slippery and slide around, embroidering, you had to be so careful not to pull and make a hole. It's not apparent here but it's also very sheer so every bit of thread had to be hidden behind the thread on top, which sucks when it's all thin linework. Made the seam binding from some leftover scraps. 1/4 inch for the neckline, 1/2 inch for the back closure.

Prince of Jerusalem 16° Morals and Dogma

Part VIII This, Freemasonry teaches, as a great Truth; a great moral landmark, that ought to guide the course of all mankind. It teaches its toiling children that the scene of their daily life is all spiritual, that the very implements of their toil, the fabrics they weave, the merchandise they barter, are designed for spiritual ends; that so believing, their daily lot may be to them a sphere for the noblest improvement. That which we do in our intervals of relaxation, our church-going, and our book-reading, are especially designed to prepare our minds for the action of Life. We are to hear and read and meditate, that we may act well; and the action of Life is itself the great field for spiritual improvement. There is no task of industry or business, in field or forest, on the wharf or the ship’s deck, in the office or the exchange, but has spiritual ends. There is no care or cross of our daily labor, but was especially ordained to nurture in us patience, calmness, resolution, perseverance, gentleness, disinterestedness, magnanimity. Nor is there any tool or implement of toil, but is a part of the great spiritual instrumentality.

“If then you do not make yourself equal to God, you cannot apprehend God; for like is known by like.

…

Think that for you too nothing is impossible; deem that you too are immortal, and that you are able to grasp all things in your thought, to know every craft and science; find your home in the haunts of every living creature; make yourself higher than all heights and lower than all depths;

…

But if you shut up your soul in your body, and abase yourself, and say “I know nothing, I can do nothing; I am afraid of earth and sea, I cannot mount to heaven; I know not what I was, nor what I shall be,” then what have you to do with God?”

-Hermes Trismegistus, Hermetica

***I don’t think Hermes and Thoth are the same gods, rather they are besties who vibe well and wrote books together.

And maybe Hermes Trismegistus (Hermes Thrice-Great) is not just a fusion/collaboration of two deities, but a trio. A trio of Hermes, Thoth and you. Thrice-great.

They said “If then you do not make yourself equal to God, you cannot apprehend God; for like is known by like.” in the Hermetica.

They already say if you wish to understand the wisdom of them, you need to think yourself as a god as well. For like is known by like. As above, so below, if you will.

Then you can share their wisdom. And be the Hermes Trimegistus.

Kharis Hermes! Dua Thoth! Hail me!

Showcase of my altar to Hermes bc even tho it’s simply it’s cute and my parents are none the wiser abt it fr

I’m especially happy abt the little tortoise charm and the copper item behind the notebooks my bf got me from Italy :)) it opens up and has more goodies inside.

(The Kuromi bag dangling on the left is bc I hang my bags above his altar not bc Hermes is a Sanrio girl 😞‼️)

Offerings and Salutations to the Teachers, Teachings, and Community.

This post is dedicated to my friend who's still in prison and will leave this month. I hope to file this post under the practical heading of my index as I see this a very necessary part in the practice itself. Respect and thanks to all the teachers and teachings I was given in my past lives, this life, and future lives. I am so grateful for that.

Let me start it practically and offer you the method. It's really simple and all you have to do is a candle and a glass of water. I don't recommend this for any teacher and only for teachers you know and trust wholeheartedly. I recommend you do this carefully and in case you don't have a teacher you trust then go up to the original founder or a divine figure you trust like Buddha, or Jesus, or someone like Lao-Tzu or Hermes Trismegistus.

Once you have the image of the teacher or their names or your connection to them then you will set up a candle, incense if possible sandalwood or frankincense or frankincense and myrrh AND a glass of water. Then you offer three prayers: 1) Thankgiving 2) Blessing 3) Offering

an example would be like "Thank you Hermes for the teachings of Hermeticism and for the magic you have taught me and inspired me with these techniques" or offer them Psalm 150. Blessing is that you bless the water, the candle, the frankincense in their names. Key of Solomon have stuff to consecrate them, you can also consecrate them by praying Psalm 23 on it, or something from your heart. Lastly the offering , is that you have to word it out and say "O Teacher of This tradition, Thank you for offering and continually supporting my practice by providing the teachings and the magical teachings for us."

edit: I almost forgot but the offering dispose of it under a tree and if you can't then you can flush it down.

Very simple and direct but you can expand on it :) to suits you. Do it often, do it on Wednesday or Sunday or Saturday and what there? there's an incense mix you can use to help with this 1/4th teaspoon Alum , 3 teaspoon of Mace, and a teaspoon of frankincense or benzoin then you make a sincere prayer for an incarnate teacher, finding a good teacher, etc. Now Theory wise or just me talking to you, my imprisoned friend used to do the buddha dhamma sangha vandana to motivate himself and inspire discipline in his practice and that's a good thing! this shows the important of the teacher, teaching, the community/magical chain working in the whole system of practice. Once your practice is a CHAIN then you have this line or this connection going through as arab or muslim call it "madad" which pushes the presence through the community. There's a really good point where you want the teachings to continue, to show you that you're grateful for it and to help the people who deserve it to reach it, no? When you dedicate time to help people reach the teaching then you also open the doors for yourself to reach higher places, it's not a one-way thing and just like we give thanksgiving to our ancestors for their help we also BLESS them and it is like a circle/spiral. We are not disconnected or living in a vacuum, the recluse in mountains or someone who we only hear of them after their death these people are making waves and changes around and stuff are happening!! So don't think that your prayers and incense and thanksgiving are not heard, THEY ARE HEARD. Put yourself out, have faith, and I believe that you will find the blessings and benefits of praying for the teaching we found, for keeping them, for having them "here" and for continual existence in our world. if you do want someone to help you, what are you bringing to the table? and this is a very good read that I recommend from Mark Stavish on Teachers and what you're bringing to the teacher:

The Vegetarian Prayer of Thanksgiving from the Nag Hammadi Library (Coptic Gnostic Scriptures):

gnostic #hermetic #gnosis #spirituality #gnosticgospels #vegan #vegetarian

The Gnostics Were Vegetarians: The vegetarian Prayer of Thanksgiving is part of the Hermetic scriptures of Egypt and is also part of the Nag Hammadi Library, the Gnostic Gospels. At the end of the prayer the final verse reads: “When they had said these things in the prayer, they embraced each other and they went to eat their holy food, which has no blood in it.”*

“Vegetarian food” — footnote from the Marvin Meyer’s translation of this in, “The Nag Hammadi Scriptures”.

A vegetarian meal. This passage is also found in the Epilogue of Asclepius, in “HERMETICA,” translated by Sir Walter Scott: “Having prayed thus, let us betake ourselves to a meal unpolluted by flesh [animalia] of living things.”

The G.R.S. Mead translation of the same passage: “With this desire we now betake us to our pure and fleshless meal.”
