Cicero Self Initiation - Probationer

The book mentions doing 1 month Themis meditation, 1 month Maat, 2 months Thme. At the start of it it provides 10 weeks worth of sense awareness (of the 16 weeks). It does not mention how long to do (I will call it the) astral ball exercise or the darkness technique. Should it be assumed that those need to be daily for the 4 months?

Meditations

Idk for kundalini since I’m not awesome with superpowers but are there meditations where people are like oh no don’t do those… it will… open your third eye or something weird? I seem to be immune to a lot of things like this feel like giving one a go if it does anything whatsoever at all.

Reading Request Requirments

General question for whoever idk. I see a lot of people posting photos with their reading request. Just wanted to know is that a requirement for most readers? I don’t see it as a requirement in the rules.

Apps

Are there any apps where you can join or host small meditation groups without needing to pay? Even if its just chat based without mic camera? idk.

Do any of the focus #s cause you to dream at all during meditation? Like hey.. I’m sleeping with dream.. ope somehow I woke up in a timely manner to keep meditating.

Disclosure day

Alright.. everyone and their mom is posting about this one here. I will too.

First off not that many people watch the news.

Second off, it’s not going to be that big of a deal when people mention aliens, no sudden crash of civilization. I am a highly logical person, my job requires me to solve problems in systems. We analyze things and provide answers but when humans get the info.. they have all sorts of bias. This information will be filtered into that bias. And it will basically cause many not to care or just for it to find a way to reaffirm what they believe. For example you can’t give logical arguments to a cave man. Just not going to work.

I told people years back 2026-2027 is contact range. Government website is up. And guess what? My multiple coworkers can care less. Except one.. one just gets uncomfortable even a few years back and walks away.

Disclosure isn’t someone telling you.. it’s an experience.

(Potential movie spoilers ahead)

The movie was okay. There are going to be a lot more abductees than two. And the lore has it grays won’t be the first to be shown to the world. Light language is still not received in English. But whatever. Animals.. got it. Psychic stuff, fun.

Western Energy Practices

Curious what your guys takes are on western energy practices such as Cabalistic cross, middle pillar, banishing / invoking rituals, etc.

I’ve been doing qigong mostly in the form of nei gong for a couple years now. Recently I have taken up some of the techniques described above. My concern is that those techniques are lacking grounding practices. So I’ve been looking into what I can do from the qigong philosophy of things to improve that.

I know within some of the traditions they will want certain practices to be done in order. Prayers not to be changed. And likewise I would expect within branches of qigong the same strictness. But often times I think of these things like martial arts. Maybe in the morning one does kick boxing and at night he practices wing chun.. maybe one helps with the other instead of cancels it out or cross-wires.. long range vs close range for example..

The Immortal Embryo

What do you guys think about the concept of the immortal embryo? Anyone practicing developing that or have any experiences or stories from living masters about it?

Feeling Stuck

I've been doing different practices for a while. Lets say 6 months ago I got into doing QC, LBRP, MP. Been doing those. But, this week more in particular I kinda feel like stuff just does nothing. I don't want to do the invoking ritual over concern of that combined with stress/chaos at working being a bit over an over exciter, so if anything I'd have to do it at night.

Any recommendations... I always hear a good game when it comes to some of these practices but when doing them I feel like someone sold me a lemon. I think the only real marker of change I can see is the visualization at the part of the middle pillar where you wrap yourself. I have noticed that changes before it was like trying to make a sand castle that just falls under its own weight but now it was rotating with the pulse. but even with this.. what does it physically do? I dont notice anything

As a side note me and some friends are also scrying through the tree of life pathing. Last location was Binah. Even with this I think okay.. I imagine something talking to me. life is still chaos at work, nothing physical changes.. whats the point?

Beginning

I just got the book Self-Initiation Into the Golden Dawn Tradition by Chic Cicero. There is in the intro a four month process to basically pray to one deity per month daily. I’m not totally comfortable with the wording of the prayers. I can’t recall not the exact but essentially the idea of perfection comes into play. I kinda want to reword the prayers and make it more personal / practical to me.

The next part of this is a question of did anyone have any particular experiences while going through this? Not talking like meditation visions but like physical world stuff be it inside their meditation area or out and about that seemed to have been related.

I think the idea of protection is a big one. Feel like I don’t have much belief that whatever this universe is has got my back, it has its agenda. when reading the opening it’s talking about being tested by those who guard the magical currents. I’m like.. no bro.. I’m not in this for trouble just want a peaceful life. 😆 but at the same time I have issues with pay at work and each review season I did find out what all my contemporary colleagues were getting g paid which both times was not something I was looking for but fell into my lap as if in a silver platter. Each time I was like God or whatever providence or something gave this to me.. but why this and not the raise? Do they just want me upset? What is the game here?
