what is theurgic transformation?

The being that Paul says he and some of the Apostles saw was a vision of a celestial entity, much like those attested by Theurgists like Iamblichus and Proclus. As well as Merkavah and the Way of Hermes.

He was not resurrected. There was no empty tomb. In fact, there was no tomb. He was buried like all the other crucified criminals - in an unmarked grave, perhaps near the garbage dump known as Golgotha and Calvary.

Continuing with Bruno, who brought modern scientific awarenss into play, this notion of pantheism and panpsychism has a rich history in western philosophy. Bergson and Whitehead are two instances of this progress, grounded in science but open to non-materialist and -reductionist metaphysics.

Epstein may have been the jet set version of misogynist rape culture. As this CNN report shows, rape is a constant factor in male-female relationships. It’s spawning “clubs” devoted to teaching each other how to rape.

Today theurgists celebrate the Philomeidesion to honor Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty. Hail mighty goddess, your beauty illuminates the world as it comes into being through splendorous Necessity.

Yes, i see how this would work.

the smallest spark may send you traveling to worlds infinite in expanse and lives filled with courage, justice, temperance, and wisdom.

Having said that, I do believe in the rightness of reason when it comes to making moral decisions.

What Tarot does is add the element of enchantment and magic to a world too denuded of mystery by materialism.

It's a lens through which you can focus your options and orient your emotions and thoughts around.

This method is just as good as any. Within the world view of symbols, correspondences, and synchronicities, their use can be very powerful.

I have several Tarot decks, including the Waite-Rider deck I use to play Bridge with my daughter and grandson. I think the deck is a useful heuristic by which you can gauge where you're at in any given instance. I don't think it's good to use for prognostication.

Holy Mother, cleanse me and make me worthy of ascending to the most holy, pure and beneficent Transcendent Good.

O holy, blessed father, hear my pray'r, disperse the seeds of life-consuming care;
With fav'ring mind the sacred rites attend, and grant my days a glorious, blessed end.

Mankind from thee, in plenteous wealth abound, when in their dwellings joyful thou art found;
Or pass thro' life afflicted and distress'd, the needful means of bliss by thee supprest.
'Tis thine alone endu'd with boundless might, to keep the keys of sorrow and delight.

TO THE DÆMON, OR GENIUS
- trns. Taylor

The Fumigation from Frankincense.

Thee, mighty-ruling, Dæmon dread, I call, mild Jove [Zeus], life-giving, and the source of all:
Great Jove [Zeus], much-wand'ring, terrible and strong, to whom revenge and tortures dire belong.

seen from the objective, transcendent view of human selves that science enables, we are all one and equally significant and insignificant. As Garcia Lorca adds, we are also all deserving of love.

Women: DO NOT HitchHike. Ever. If you just HAVE to, buy and carry a gun.

Men: Be REALLY careful.

Be daring - but be smart and be safe. Courage is knowing what and what not to fear.

Consider working on a farm or a ranch. I worked summers on my grandparent's farm. I still recall the sense of accomplishment after working a day in 98 degree, 90 percent humidity. Those are moments of pride.

Women need to think along safer but as adventurous lines. I had an affair with twin sisters who had sojourned in Morocco in the 70s. One had been raped by a Bedouin. It's much worse now, as you can imagine. Men around the world think American women are fair game. It's monstrous.

But remember: it's an uglier, meaner world than in their days. Always stay prepared and ready to gouge out eyeballs.

I was 20 when I hitchhiked across the US. Twice. The second time was apocalyptic.

Someone asked me advice for 23 yr old:

Get some "real life" under your belt. Think Jack London, Kerouac, Simone Weil. For Kerouac: he was not always on the road. He lived with his mother in Northport LI from whence he'd travel to NYC and the other places he mentions in books like Lonesome Traveler.

on most days...
