When using this option to signal interest to a company, do you actually apply it for recruiting firms?

When I first learned of this feature, I selected yes for every company of interest but then realized that I only have a limit of 50. I came across an agency that I picked as I have a few outstanding and don't like how LinkedIn doesn't make it easier to keep track of who you showed interest to

Does it actually make a difference to use this feature? I mean it doesn't hurt

It makes sense to use it on companies you like but recruiting firms have roles for all sorts of companies. Sure if they have lots of relevant roles, it is useful. Honestly I don't think it matters but would like to hear others opinion

This practice is in Archangels of Magick and is considered a practice to do before you start your rituals. I did it daily for over a year and took a break. I am now getting back into practicing it along with Sword Banishing.

I'm doing less rituals now so yesterday I just did CoP. I have been doing it prior to reaching out to my HGA and I think it makes a difference. I think my practice before was doing CoP and whatever ritual I wanted to do in the morning and talking to my HGA at night.

I think for me I feel like in order for me to have a better life, I need more power but I always felt like GOM didn't offer anything specifically for power but now I am wondering if it's one of these little easter eggs where they hide the truth in plain sight; CoP is designed to boost magickal power? Cheeky bastards?

In the book Damon says it's a modification of the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram (LBRP). Since GOM is my first experience into the world of magick, I never practiced LBRP so am not aware of what it typically is used for. CoP is for protection and insight according to Damon.

I find it does bring up emotional stuff at times. Has my magickal/personal power increased? I don't know but having worked with it regularly it's interesting to practice. Every day is different.

I know not everyone believes in god. I have started working with my HGA again and this has come up again. A couple of weeks ago I was quite angry about my life and got angry at my HGA. This is not the first time I've been angry with the spiritual realm. Pre-magick, I have felt like god must hate me or something because I can never seem to improve my life despite my efforts.

For this reason, I have found magick to just make it worse. I just end up feeling like I'm cursed and that my efforts seem future, much like Sisphus. I've called on some angels to help with this feeling and there is some relief but it seems to be a persistent and deeply ingrained. I've been out of work for a couple of years and started to get back into job searching. Magick and real world effort are not yielding results. I think long term unemployment cannot be helping.

My emotional brain cannot see any other reason for these hardships. God is not helping even though I ask for help. I don't get enough help. I do my part. Do you hate me or something?

Most of what I'm doing now is talking daily with my HGA and I sometimes I use the book Lucifer and the Hidden Demons.

I don't know how much of this is fueled by growing up Catholic. I don't think it's unrealistic for me to expect good things in life but it seems like god/the universe just doesn't want me to get ahead, to have joy, to have purpose, money, relationship.

Basically I don't think anyone here can help me with this. I feel like this is between me, my HGA and god. I am curious to know if others have gone through this and what helped them get through it.

I've been primarily working with Lucifer and the Hidden Demons. I took a break from all rituals and then got back into it end of last month.

A couple of weeks ago, I was calling on Lucifer and felt my HGA's presence. I had taken a break as well from reaching out to my HGA. This isn't the first time I had felt my HGA's presence while doing a ritual, although the first in terms of using this book.

As a result, I started to get back into reaching out to my HGA. I also bought Corwin's book on Goetia Pathworking a few months ago but haven't gotten around to it. I asked my HGA about LHD and it basically said I was in good hands.

I can't tell if I'm resistant to working with the Goetia Pathworking book or if it is a book I probably should not be working on for now. I decided to do a ritual and called on Buer. I feel I need mental and emotional healing. Maybe about 10-15 minute prior to doing the ritual, I had a long ear ringing, on my right ear. Usually I hear the ringing on my left and it's usually when I do a ritual or afterwards. When I call on Lucifer, if I do hear the ringing, it's on my left.

I'm not sure if my HGA was 'warning' me. I didn't notice much during this ritual. With LHD, I do get emotional when connecting with certain demons.

I've heard from other people that the HGA can stop other rituals although I am not sure how much I believe this as I do think we have autonomy. Although I do regularly ask for my HGA guidance on what practices to do.

I am a curious person and do like to try things out so this is starting to confuse me. Am I actually sensing that I should stick with one book for now or am I just resistant? I don't want to let my curiousity lead me if it's really just a waste of my time and I need to focus.

I also feel I am in the intermediate stage of my practice. I have more experience with angels/archangels so am still new to understanding demons, although I don't feel like I'm an angel expert either. I feel like I don't know what I'm doing. Do I just keep practicing? Do I need to do more rituals? Less rituals? Both of these books say to give things time to unfold but I am ready to get on with life. I've been a meditator for over 10 years and I'm ok with intense growth.

I've been working with 2 issues for over a year (finding work and finding a relationship) so I do think there are internal stuff to work on like shame or timidity (which I have asked about in other posts). I guess I could try a couple of more rituals from that book to see what happens. Maybe this experience meant nothing.

I asked about demons that help with being timid but I was thinking, shame is part of it too. Would the demon suggestions be the same or are there other demons that help with shame?

Suggestions from this thread were Asmodeus, Amdusias, Foras, Lilith, Lucifer, Marchosias, and Sitri

We got a new tv. A Hisense fire tv. We had to replace the tv that was on Fibe.

I got it set up but cannot seem to pair the Bell remote. I have tried using the hdmi setting but I can not turn on the tv with the Bell. Just for changing chanels or turning off.

We had this same problem with the first time installing. Bell has absolutely no relevant and helpful pages. Everything is wrong.

Tech support is useless and says they can't help but they is just their way of forcing us to do the $90 home visit.

Chatgpt said something about selecting Hisense but now I can't find that setting

Bell is the worse for customer service

Edit

we have the smart tv voice remote. this is the remote:https://www.tvparts.ca/remotedetail.php?id=19360

we have VIP 7802

I'd like to know which demons can help with being more assertive? I'd like to be more aggressive in my life because my personality can be timid at times. I don't want to be someone who is aggressive to the point where people find it rude or unappealing. I am female so think having more of that energy can help me in the work realm and to be successful materialistically.

I understand that Lucifer and the Hidden Demons (LHD) is not GOM but a GOM-adjacent book. I understand that demons can do more than what power is listed for them, however I do notice that many of these demons have 1 or 2 powers and about half of these demons, their power is for harming others.

I have asked on some subreddit (can't remember which one) if you can ask demons to do the opposite of what their power is. For example, if the demon can cause anxiety in your enemies, can it can reduce your anxiety? Obviously some books list powers specifically to help you so it may be easier to find help that way, however in this book, this isn't the case. As stated earlier, they mostly seem to help with harming enemies. Surely they can do other things besides harm enemies?

Given that I am more interested in personal growth and not necessarily wanting to cause harm to others, has anyone used a demon from that book that had a harmful power and worked with that demon for help in things not listed or perhaps the positive opposite of the power listed?

I tried last week the ritual for Leviathan. It was interesting. There was an inner effect. I might try another time. I just don't have a clear understanding of what Leviathan can help with.

This also ties into what I find when trying to practice. I find I can get caught up in what the book says but obviously demons and angels and spirits can do more than what is listed in the book and there is some creativity required to interpret their abilities.

I'm sure this question I am asking can be applied to any GOM book but I'm focusing on this book for now because I like pathworking and didn't resonate with GOM's demon book

I've used government funded employment centres and find they generally are not helpful or up to date or detailed enough to guide professionals such as myself.

I am in tech and am considering getting my LinkedIn revised. I am sure there are ones to use online but wonder if anyone has suggestions.

Hello all.

I had to do an update on my laptop and I think it got interupted when my laptop went to sleep. It is now stuck in a reboot loop.

I have Build 19041

I cannot get it into safe mode.

Things I've Tried

1. I ran the diagnostic and that did not help. I then went to uninstall the update and feature but I got error messages. One message said:

>you have pending update actions and we won't be able to uninstall the latest quality update

2. I got this error

>0x800f082f

Google search said to go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\SessionsPending

I read to look for a registry value named Exclusive or TotalSessionFaces. I did not see any of these values.

In Command Prompt I typed

>C:\Windows\System32\systeminfo.exe to see HotFixIDs

7 installed. done on 2022 and 2023

KB5029709 last Hotflix update 9-26-2023

In Command Prompt I typed

>dism /image:C:\ /get-packages

This was the package that was in the middle of downloading. It's called package identity: Package_for_ServicingStack (followed by a bunch of numbers). Duck.ai says this update is not a cumulative update. SSUs are required for installing future updates and normally don't cause reboot failures by themselves.

I also did a system file checker (sfc /scannow ). The scan was completed 100% and the message I got was

>said 'windows resource protection could not perform the requested operation'

Did a hard drive check

>Type chkdsk C: /f /r and press Enter.

Not sure what this error message means but it said

Failed to transfer logged messages to the event log with status 6.

Everything else looked fine. I attached an image. The only thing I was concerned about the last line saying it had failed to transfer logged messages.

tl:dr. I tried a bunch of things so not sure if I should uninstall the Package_for_ServicingStack. I don't know if that's even possible or will make a difference. What should I do? Please help me understand what I am doing wrong or what I need to do to fix it.

I saw a LinkedIn post where a career coach (or recruiter) said job seekers should be hearing from 2-4 recruiters a week. I can't find that post but maybe they were using fear to sell their services

That seems impossible, even in a favourable job market. I would think I'd be lucky to have 2-4 interviews a month.

Do I just suck at job searching or does that person have unrealistic expectations?

How many interviews should we be aiming for a week?

Currently in my life, I feel like I don't know what I'm doing. I was taking a short break from magick and focusing on meditation. I am wondering if I should get back into it. I've done angel work in the past so switched to demons a couple of months ago. I think I had more 'success' with demons but I have not achieved what I want at this stage (job, relationship, close friends). I think at least that I was heading in the right direction, even though at times it felt like I was taking 2 steps forward and then 1 step back.

I am not sure if I have realistic expectations about this. I feel like I need demons to be more direct with me in terms of how they communicate. I basically want a demon to tell me what to do, guide me and give me step-by-step actions. I am doing real world actions but I generally feel like I don't know what I'm doing.

I don't feel like I am picking up any communication from spirits. I have said that I prefer getting messages in dreams but I don't notice anything. A lot of what I'm observing in my dreams are basically about my emotional states. I'm pretty sure I don't have tinnitus but I have been hearing ringing in my ears at time. I would hear them typically while doing rituals but since I wasn't doing any, I would still hear them. I wonder is this their way of telling me to 'get back here' and do rituals again? Again I feel clueless.

I started to do a couple of rituals with Clauneck this week, and maybe a few hours later had a more intense that usual ear ringing.

I read a post here where it was mentioned that some demons like to hear about your day and do want to have regular communication with you. In the Clauneck book I got, the author does say that Clauneck is open to long-term relationship.

So basically I am not sure if I should come back to doing rituals. I feel like I need to be guided in direct ways. I'm had some success with Shahtan but in the book (Lucifer and Hidden Demons), it just says he helps with improving magick and psychic skills. Maybe that's why I started to meditate again. I used to prior to magick meditated regularly but when I got into magick, I did it less, although still would practice. I do feel that my intuition is out of whack at times. I also want a longterm relationship so some demons seem focused on sexual energy but that's not what I'm interested in so don't know if Shahtan helps with finding someone.

I hear people talk a lot about a demon being their patron but I don't know quite what that means. I do want to have a handful of spirits that can help me on a long-term basis but also guide me to take the appropriate action steps so that I can be proactive in life. I am assuming you can't force a demon to communicate with you regularlly and I assume not all are interested in getting to know you long term.

I would appreciate any advice or demon recommendations.

I read some past posts here as I am trying to reorder my experience on my Linkedin profile. There is no option to reorder so I don't understand why it's not working.

Is this still something they are trying to fix? I just don't see how it can work as I selected the edit option and none of those sliders appeared. I've tried on a desktop and mobile app.

m practising the Ah mantra meditation. I was doing an Om practice prior, with guidance from another teacher.

It's my third week. I practiced it in the past although not sure how long or if it was a sporadic practice and not a daily practice.

I read it is for manifestation but I feel like I've tried manifesting over the years with various practices with little success so I feel my objective with this practice is more about being emotionally neutral

Anyways I would like to know what people's experience has been like. I feel activity in my upper chakras so that's been interesting. It has been emotional to chant it too.

I read online to add the city but what if the place and university has the city in the name? Like if I worked for City of New York, do I need to add (NY, NY)?

Some schools also have the city in the name so does that need to be included or can I leave it out. It seems redundant to add the city in these cases

I'm at a point where I feel like the universe just doesn't seem to want me to have success so I might as well give that up and embrace failure and poverty so that is why I am not interested in manifesting although it would be nice to have good things happen.

In all my years of spiritual practice, I could not shift the needle to make my life better, inner and outer. Any inner improvement was short lived.

I started watching this show recently as it's been re-airing on tv. I started watching it just before Chris joins the cast, where that brunette chick is operating the coffee shop. First of all, I just find their whole relationship unbelievable. They start out as hating each other but they also seem to love each other?

The episode where Becker goes to her work place and gets her fired was a huge red flag. If I had a guy do that to me, I would not get involved at all with him and would avoid him at all costs. She even calls him a stalker. Why would she ignore this protective instinct of hers? Also I don't see someone like Becker becoming like this. Why would such a cynical and bitter man let himself go bonkers for a woman? He's a doctor. You would think he would be delusional and think he could bed any woman.

The other red flag is when they start eating out regularly in Becker's apartment. He watches basketball and after relentless questioning by Chris, she learns he does this to decompress from his difficult job. I don't even know why she would put up with this in the first place. It was quite rude how he was acting. He barely acknowledged her. That's not decompressing, that's disrespect. I could see this behaviour being somewhat tolerable if he was under 30 and still learning self awareness but he's an old man for god's sake. He should know better. How old is this character? 45? 50? If he's been divorced twice, he should have some awareness that maybe he was the problem and maybe just not get involved with someone.

I find overall, this Chris woman is just putting too much effort into trying to change Becker. It's shows like this that give women the false hope that they can change a man. You can't. Men change because they feel they have no other choice if they want their desire.

I feel like Chris is becoming that woman that loses herself once in a relationship in order to please her man. Like put yourself first. Stop being his emotional support human. It's just so cringe.

I know it's a show and many times shows have dysfunctional relationships but this one I feel is a really messed up one and frankly I feel sad for Chris for putting up with this nonsense. Obviously I don't know how it ends but I think they get married but I don't know how the relationship unfolds at this point. I just know at this point, I think it's a big mistake for Chris to lose herself in this toxic relationship.
