Tim, I am very busy and paying very little attention to postings on the five lists that I alone moderate. Moderation means at yahoo groups that I have to approve messages. When I get busy or things happen, I do not have time to read them all. Tim, your message was automatically rejected because the two week time limit had passed. Let's see what has been going on, well, both my and Hopsicker's hard drive crashed on the same day. My dedicated server was maliciously attacked and all my web sites went down, our webstore is still down -- depriving us income. Plus, I am doing production work on books, packing & shipping books and other related running a business items. Also, my 87-year old mother had heart trouble while visiting my sister in Alaska. She had to be flown out and then I had to arrange in-home care for her and interface for my mom. She lives over a hundred miles away, plus my mother-in-law just had a 90th birthday party so I have been real busy. And on top of that I am getting sued by folks being bankrolled by the Special Forces Association. I do not have time, I'm sorry. I get email's all the time from folks to remind me to please get them back on the list because the 14 days has passed. I have asked for help moderating before and stopped asking years ago. Tim, you are on moderation (and only one of my lists, cia- drugs, has moderation) because 1. you are a new poster. 2. Because you have disrupted the list before, with your caps (Shouting) and accusatory rhetoric 3. You are cross-posting and most of your posts are available widely, many on some of my other lists. 4. I haven't had the time.
And thanks Tim for wasting my time here again. Lets look at your accusations, Tim. > I know you are also being sued in the same case as > Dangerous Dan OR is that how it's supposed to appear? You accuse me of just appearing to be sued? Why Tim? Why are you trying to smear me? Is it because I am just starting to ramp up a campaign to raise money for our defense? It costs about 100 K to go to court. We have a heck of case. There are those that would rather we would just quit and not take the case to court. Yes, Tim, I am really being sued. Would you like to talk to my lawyer? Would you like to see my lawyer bills? What would it take? Tim, I appreciate you getting Col. Marvin some notice. I see you all over the net, Tim, will you spread the word of the outrageous suit against Daniel and me? Will you spreading the word about the Special Forces Association trying to bully and bankrupt the first amendment rights of citizens? I say phooey to your accusation, that because some post of yours was automatically rejected that makes me a closet Mason or what ever it is you are accusing me of being. Who benefits, Tim? My record stands for itself. And Tim, it really burns me, because I sit here and think about all the BS I have gone through, along with the crap and deprivation my "politics" have caused my long-suffering family. And you say "appear." Lord, have mercy.

Transplanting Consciousness & Levitation >>>> This step consists of a graduated series of >>>> >>> exercises >>> >>>> to prepare the student for physical and astral >>>> levitation and astral travel, as a prelude to >>>> communication with astral beings. Communication >>>> >>> with >>> >>>> the astral world can either be active or >>>> >> passive. >> >>>> Passive techniques are simpler and safer, thus >>>> >>> Bardon >>> >>>> presents them first. >>>> 6. Introduction to Astral Beings & Astral Travel >>>> >> >> >>>> Besides astral beings and travel, this chapter >>>> >>> deals >>> >>>> with the creation of non-physical beings for the >>>> magician's use. Bardon also discusses the perils >>>> >>> of >>> >>>> accidentally creating them. This inadvertent >>>> >>> creation >>> >>>> of phantasms which can attach to and parasitize >>>> >>> the >>> >>>> operator is a great danger for the dabbler in >>>> occultism. At this point, Bardon again insists >>>> >>> that >>> >>>> the student not skip any step in his >>>> >> development, >> >>> in >>> >>>> order to avoid this serious problem. >>>> 7. Development of Clairvoyance, Clairaudience & >>>> >>> Other >>> >>>> Abilities: >>>> Creation of Elementaries >>>> Bardon gives formulas for accessories such as >>>> >>> special >>> >>>> eye-baths and ear-plugs to aid in development of >>>> supersensory perception. He also discusses >>>> >> magick >> >>>> animation of pictures and statues. >>>> 8. "Fluid Condensers" >>>> These are special tools which the magician >>>> >> creates >> >>> to >>> >>>> concentrate, store, and manipulate the electric >>>> >>> and >>> >>>> magnetic fluids. He gives fairly detailed >>>> >>> instructions >>> >>>> for making, charging and using these >>>> >> "condensers." >> >>> >>> >>>> First, Bardon teaches that even minute >>>> >> quantities >> >>> gold >>> >>>> can add enormously to the accumulative power of >>>> >>> any >>> >>>> condenser. Thus, he recommends preparing a gold >>>> tincture to "charge" any condensers the student >>>> >>> makes. >>> >>>> The easiest way is to dissolve a gram of soluble >>>> >>> gold >>> >>>> chloride in 20 grams of distilled water. (Gold >>>> chloride is fairly expensive - about $50 per >>>> >>> gram.) >>> >>>> Here is an interesting example of Bardon's >>>> >>> condensers: >>> >>>> Put a handful of fresh or dry chamomile flowers >>>> >>> into a >>> >>>> pot. Pour enough cold water over them to cover >>>> >>> them >>> >>>> completely. Let the chamomile flowers boil for >>>> >>> about >>> >>>> 20 minutes. Cool them, but leave the lid on the >>>> >>> pot >>> >>>> and strain the decoction. Put this on the fire >>>> >>> again >>> >>>> and allow it to evaporate slowly until it weighs >>>> >>> about >>> >>>> 50 grams. A few drops more or less do not matter >>>> >>> at >>> >>>> all. Let the extract cool and, for better >>>> preservation, mix it with the same quantity (in >>>> >>> this >>> >>>> case 50 grams) of spirit or alcohol. (Remember >>>> >> to >> >>>> never use methyl or wood alcohol in any >>>> >>> preparation >>> >>>> meant to be used in or on the body.) To this >>>> >>> mixture >>> >>>> add about 10 drops of the gold tincture prepared >>>> above. >>>> Bardon continues: >>>> If you wish to use the condenser for your own >>>> purposes, you may still strengthen it, by adding >>>> >> a >> >>>> drop of your blood or sperm, if possible both >>>> together, on a swab of cotton wool, throw this >>>> afterwards without any scruples into the >>>> >> condenser >> >>> and >>> >>>> shake the lot well. Then, pour all, in a funnel, >>>> through filter paper or linen into a small >>>> >> bottle >> >>> and >>> >>>> keep it well corked in a cool and dark place, >>>> >>> ready to >>> >>>> use. >>>> The magician can use these condensers in many >>>> >>> ways: >>> >>>> mixing them with liquids to drink, for >>>> >> anointing, >> >>>> mixing them with incense compounds, or pouring >>>> >>> them in >>> >>>> small bowls to collect and concentrate certain >>>> energies. >>>> Any fluid condenser which has been prepared in >>>> >>> this >>> >>>> manner does not lose its efficiency even after >>>> >>> many >>> >>>> years. The condenser must be well shaken each >>>> >> time >> >>> you >>> >>>> are going to use it, the bottle is to be corked >>>> >>> again >>> >>>> after withdrawing some out of it. In the same >>>> >> way >> >>> you >>> >>>> can prepare several universal condensers from >>>> >>> Russian >>> >>>> or genuine Chinese tea, from lily-blossoms-best >>>> >>> are >>> >>>> the white ones-popular leaves, alraune roots or >>>> mandragora roots, arnica montana, acacia >>>> >> flowers. >> >>> Any >>> >>>> simple fluid condenser, prepared from one plant >>>> >> is >> >>>> sufficient for normal use such as influencing >>>> >>> through >>> >>>> the elements, or developing the astral senses by >>>> >>> means >>> >>>> of the fluid condensers. >>>> 9. Magick Mirrors for Astral Travel & Healing >>>> The magick mirror (of which the crystal ball is >>>> >> a >> >>>> species) is valuable for many experiments in >>>> clairvoyance, clairaudience and the like. After >>>> >> a >> >>>> brief description, Bardon lists many ways the >>>> >>> magician >>> >>>> can use it. He describes treatment of the sick >>>> >>> using >>> >>>> electro-magnetic fluids and the magickal loading >>>> >>> of >>> >>>> talismans, amulets and gems. >>>> 10. Elevation of the Spirit to Higher Levels >>>> This chapter discusses the various ways the >>>> >>> student >>> >>>> should improve his spiritual qualities. Bardon >>>> >>> wraps >>> >>>> up with a discussion of several occult topics >>>> >> such >> >>> as >>> >>>> exteriorization, levitation, production of >>>> >> natural >> >>>> phenomena, suggestion, hypnosis, psychometry and >>>> >>> long >>> >>>> distance impregnation of rooms. >>>> An amazing book on Communicating with Spirits >>>> Bardon's second published work, The Practice of >>>> Magical Evocation, is a remarkable and unique >>>> >> work >> >>> of >>> >>>> nearly 500 pages. The first of its two parts is >>>> >> an >> >>>> exhaustive description of the many tools and >>>> >>> apparatus >>> >>>> the magician needs to work. The topics he treats >>>> include: The Magick Circle, Triangle, Censer, >>>> >>> Mirror, >>> >>>> Lamp, Wand, Sword, Dagger, Trident, Crown, Cap >>>> >> and >> >>>> Magus-Band. This book is much more ceremonially >>>> oriented than the first, which requires a >>>> >> minimum >> >>> of >>> >>>> apparatus. The Practice of Magical Evocation is >>>> >> a >> >>>> classic magickal grimoire, or instruction manual >>>> >> - >> >>>> probably one of the best ever written. >>>> >>>> The second part of of the book is a huge catalog >>>> >>> of >>> >>>> spirits or entities that the student is supposed >>>> >>> to be >>> >>>> able to contact after perfecting the techniques >>>> >> in >> >>> the >>> >>>> first book. A short paragraph accompanies most >>>> >> of >> >>> the >>> >>>> entries explaining the the specialty or purpose >>>> >> of >> >>> the >>> >>>> being and what skills, knowledge or advantage it >>>> >>> can >>> >>>> bring the occult practitioner. Bardon states >>>> >>> several >>> >>>> times that he has contacted all these entities >>>> >>> himself >>> >>>> and is writing what he knows in the first >>>> >> person. >> >>> In >>> >>>> fact, he says there are many more entities he >>>> >> has >> >>>> omitted, because of their unsuitability for >>>> >>> beginners. >>> >>>> >>>> >>>> The names of these spirits are quite >>>> >> interesting. >> >>> A >>> >>>> few of them are the same as the corresponding >>>> >>> names in >>> >>>> the "classical" magickal tradition.
