Damon Brand made what maybe 2 conflicting statements about this concept. In a Patreon, he said if you want more synchronicity in life, you need to acknowledge it when it happens.

In Magickal Destiny he says in the Reality of Contact chapter on page 40-41 he says the magick of the Angel is safe and that sometimes something worse happens but to see that as an ordinardy event that was not caused by magick. He continues to say that if something wondrously good happens, it was probably going to happen anyway and it would be poor taste to attribute it to the HGA.

He does go on to say that the Angel's influence on your reality will be gradual.

I guess these 2 statements may not be in conflict since he says that the influence is gradual but some people can connect much quicker to their HGA and the good stuff that is happening could be caused by your quick ability to connect.

Regardless of this possible conflicting statement, my question still stands. How are we to determine what is synchronicity and just coincidence?

For me personally I had a recent event happen. I have been connecting with recruiters but none have shown interest in me on LinkedIn. I have worked with Clauneck and one contacted me after my connection request. I have been connecting with my HGA for over 1.5 years and I asked my HGA how to view this because I have done a ritual with the Omnipotent Angels last year and had a recruiter call me but he gave me resume advice. Not the desired outcome but at least a nudge in the right direction.

The other day I went to a regular event I go to and at the venue, there was a sticker with the recruiter's name on some garbage bin. Was this coincidence or a sign? His name is not super common like Michael or Dave.

I think it's important to distinguish because if it is a sign, I want to acknowledge it and not dismiss it. Sometimes strange things happen and it's easy to just brush it off and dismiss it.

What do you notice about synchronicities and signs?

I've been doing Circle of Power (from their Archangels book). I do the Advanced Calling as well. Over the past couple of months, I am keeping my practice simple by doing CoP, Sword Banishing, and contacting my HGA (Magickal Destiny). I sometimes do the rituals from a non GOM book Lucifer and the Hidden Names. Last week I started working with some sigils from the 72 Sigils of Power and a book on Clauneck by Amara Jasmine.

I find even though I am keeping things simple and making my HGA the main practice, I still feel these feelings of terror come up. I'm assuming to keep up what I am doing but I don't even understand what the terror even comes up.

How are people pushing past this? What are you telling yourself?

I hope this is not considered spam but there is a local company called Guhuza so they let job seekers upload their resumes so that companies can find them.

They are affiliates with Torontojobs as far as I know.

They do an AI analysis of your resume which I tried a few times but sometimes I wonder if it's like that Jobscan site or just not a good tool.

I'm not sure I like it. It said my resume was too task oriented but I don't think so. Part of accompishing something is to talk about what you did. Like does AI not get that?

The site supposedly lets employers interview with you but so far I havr heard nothing.

Anyone used this website?

I went out last night and the conversation turned to a famous medium named Tyler Henry. A couple of my friends are into him (over 40) and I found out he is 30 so in my gen X mind, a mere baby.

I made an innocent comment that I would rather connect directly with spirits and then I shared that I do magick so have connected with spirits. I have felt isolated recently that I have no one to talk to about my practice but I also feel like I want to keep it private too. I'm still learning, experimenting so I'm not an expert.

My friend has friends that say they can see spirits and two of them said they saw my friend's deceased relative outside of her home. I mean sure I guess this is possible but as a skeptic, I wonder if they just say things.

I think my friend wanted more of my experiences and I just said I found them comforting. I'm having like this vulnerability hangover type feeling. I mentioned I've worked with planetary spirits and demons and I'm like damn telling anyone about demons just scares them off. They are so misunderstood in society.

It sounds like they are into these 'cheap parlour tricks' so I'm not really interested in that. I'm interested in growing as a person and having the life I want to live.

I think my main point is that I see mediumship as a waste of time and frankly I categorize them as all scam artists. Why rely on someone telling you about loved ones when you can connect directly with spirits themselves? Like you don't need a middleman in your spiritual journey.

It felt like the difference between being in high school and talking to someone in elementary school. I'm playing chess, not checkers. I don't want to undermine their beliefs either but I felt exposed and frankly I wonder if I should share with anyone in person. I can still talk about spirituality.

the flip side is you never know how it will be received so sometimes you have to take the risk.

I got an email from LinkedIn a couple of weeks ago called "AI You Can Actually Use" and one of them looked like it could be useful. I took a look at it but it was so basic AF. It could have been a Youtube video but if you pay for it, you get a certificate. It was such a basic thing to learn but it was so overly hyped up. It didn't help that the instructor worked for google.

There is so much hype on LinkedIn about AI and I know job seekers are being scared into stuff to find work but given that I have studied data science and machine learning, what exactly do I need to know to appear up-to-date and marketable?

I know these AI rely on LLM but I'm not really interested in building these type of tools like chat bots.

I know in this field we have to learn all the time so what's something to learn on AI that is a must know? That course really was demotivating because it was child's play compared to other tech stuff I've learned.

So basically when evil is happening in the world, we blame demons. We say things like "he's influenced by Satan" or "she's possessed by demons" or we see people behaving very poorly we point and say "demons!"

Now that I am working more with demons, I see in my own language how wrong this is and I am trying to find new language to use when talking about people engaging in evil behaviour. Evil has to be called out and people act poorly but it's hard to not use words like demon when calling this evil out.

Are there actual entities that are evil or is this just been a lie spread by religions around the world?

I've been looking at profiles and I am wondering if anyone knows if it's better to put no info about your job or put 1-2 sentences.

LinkedIn doesn't make sense. I found sending connection requests with no note to be more successful than sending notes so I wonder if less is more

I've seen plenty of profiles (recruiters/non-recruiters) where the job is blank. You can still list the skills.

At least it would protect your data from scammers.

It doesn't make sense to put all your private resume info online on a public space. Isn't LinkedIn really supposed to make a recruiter curious?

Has anyone cracked the code for getting recruiters to reach out to you?

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.
