Finally! a bit of Magick (and some Koans)

Magick is Real - Magick is an Illusion

Magick.. Dtawng Prung Dtaeng.. said Choo Dech the Thai Ruesi ;
'Prung Dtaeng', means 'to conditon, add spices and flavour to, decorate.. or the like.
It refers to the construction of conditioned thought forms (visualization), in order to focus, materialize and Manifest an ethereal 'not-yet-real(ized)' thought or abstract intention, until it becomes Manifest through the power of ones concentration and powers of Visualization.

This means in Reality, that all forms of magic are only the results of conditioned though, which is in Nature Illusory.

Therefore, if one can use illusory conditioned thought to Manifest things at will, then Magick is Real, for the results say so.

But if all Conditoned things are Illusory, then both the Conditioned thoughts used to construct and Manifest the Spell, as well as the results of that Spell are therefore Illusory and Unreal.

As Alaister Crowley said in the Book of Lies;
'Everything in this Book is a Lie - This, is a lie in Itself!

AC/DC

The most probable thing of all is that there Never was Anything in Space and Time
That Nothing was Everything
And Everything was Nothing

But there IS Everything here - filling Infinite Space with Infinite Matter
In the first Moment - Everything cannot Be, and is Not. (DC)
In the Alternating Moment, the Nothing becomes all that is (Everything), and All comes into Being, and IS. (AC)

In the Blinking of an Eye
AC.....
The Blinking of an Eye
DC....
The Flicker of a Candle Flame
On and Off
The passing of Every day, the Ritual of awakening and sleeping - an Endless Onslaught of Never Ending repetiton..

We never Advance further than what we have Achieved ton this Day, this Moment

There is no Tomorrow
And Yesterday is but a Memory

As is Everything (that word again..)
If we Look into our Hearts and Minds (heart meaning our intentions, moods and aversions, inclinations) and watch these Phenomena Arise, Stand, and then Fall into Entropy one after another in Endless Sequence of Interminable Succession, we can attain the Dominance over the Inner Powers (Thought and Emotion), and Liberate ourselves from Slavery to the pursuit of Fulfilling the Mindless Elements of the Human Psyche ('fetches' or wraiths' in Western Occultism), known as the Maras, or the Kilesas (Maras are Demons, but the Demons are the Kilesas, which means the Base Desires).

Most of us simply chase after fulfilling the cravings of these Base Desires, which are Not Self and are Mistaken by Normal Humans as being the Self. One is not fulfilling the Self when chasing after Satiating these Desires. When the craving for something comes, that hot sticky bothered feeling (until satiated), is not the Self that is Bothered, it is the Kilesas which are bothered.

We mistakenly feed the Kilesas and give them ever more power over us with the repetition of feeding them time after time again.

Watching the Heart in Realtime (The Present Moment)
Is being Awake

Being Awake
Is Being really and Truly Living
Existent
and Non-Existent

Beyond Explanation
Beyond Theory
Beyond Faith
Beyond Description
Beyond Beyond
Beyond Beyond Beyond
Beyond even Conceiving of that, which Can be gone Beyond

Watching myself
I Conclude
There is no Self
And right there in that moment (or is it a place?)
I Find Myself Waiting
To Find Myself
Waiting for Me to Find Myself

Hermes - communication and telepathy through Music.

Ever listened to a piece of Music and understood something very deep from it? Then listened to the same piece some years later, and it means something else? or deeper meaning?



Mercury is the God of Telepathy, Music and communication. The winged messenger.

Winged messages are thus winged by the instantaneous quality of the time needed for a transmission to occur and reach its goal.Telepathy is intantaneous, just like thought itself. Quicksilver indeed, is the thing that comes to mind when you consider how thought can penetrate and pass through any obstacle, flowing through the gaps, nooks and crannies pulled by the gravitational force of thought.

Three Thai Tigers suea Dam, Bai,Mahesworn

Suea Bia, Suea Dam and Suea Mahesworn were three of four of Thailand's most renowned and feared Gangsters. They gained a legendary reputation for being invincible and fighing against large groups of soldiers and police many times, escaping successfully. 60 years ago, these three gunfighters were still public enemies of the state once, but nowadays live peaceful lives in Thailand. One of the, "Suea Dam" is now the abbot of a Buddhist Temple. Suea Mahesworn is now 92 years old, and Suea Bai is 88 years old.
The three ex gangsters appear on a Thai comedy talk show and tell their story a little to their interviewer, famous comedian "Teng".

The fact that Hlwong Por Suea Dam (real monks name - Hlwong Por Tawee Sakd ) was a killer and hunted by the law does not prevent him from becoming a monk. This is something which makes me think of Angulimala, who was a killer of thousands of people before he met the Lord Buddha and converted to Buddhism, was ordained,and eventually became an enlightened Arahant. Suea Dam tells how his parents in Ayuttay had their buffaloes and belongings stolen by a group of  local influential gangsters. Suea Bai then got a gun from his uncle and went to find the group of thugs. He found them, and the young Suea Bai went up to the leader and asked him for a cigarette' The leader then bent down to get a cigarette out of his bag on the floor, and Suea Bai pulled out his gun and shot the fellow in the head.. dead instantly.

The three Highwaymen were actually driven to fight by the injustice of the local influential mafias abusing the poor farmers, so the three Suea went out to fight them. In addition they also were very active in the war, protecting their country.

In the second part (below) Lp Suea Dam is asked which mantra he used to protect himself., and he recites his Kata Kong Grapan. Some of their hand weapons used as they were rebels are also displayed.

Also in the second video, Suea Bai tells how he was caught by the famous Police man (and creator of the Jatukam amulet), Khun Pan. Suea Dam and Khun Pan were often in shootouts but Khun Pan was never able to catch Suea Dam. One time Khun Pan then challenged Suea Dam to a meeting in a field for a shootout one on one, and that if the guns did not hit or go off, that they should stop fighting each other and leave the matter in peace.  Suea Dam wasfatser and more accurate and shot the gun out of Khun pans hand.Khun Pan then held out his hand and said "young man you dont have to shoot, but please, can you stop being a gunman now?".
Suea Dam replied that he could, and three years later was ordained as a Monk. Once when LP Suea Dam was blessing some Jatukam amulets which  had in a begging bowl which he was holding, a photograph came out with the Jatukam amulets floating out of the bowl and hovering in the air. This caused a furor with amulet collectors around the country. This happened 3 years ago, as LP Suea Dam was invited to Wat Huay Mongkol Temple in Hua Hin, to bless some new edition of LP Tuad amulets. As he sat in the sala, waiting to begin the ceremony, a bright white light entered the room and shone on LP Suea Dam. he was then asked to bless the prayer water bowl. As he began chanting, slowly the bowl began vibratiing and the amulets began spinning around and rising up in the bowl of prayer water. the amulets then flew out of the bowl and landed on the floor as LP Suea Dam shouted "move" to the amulets.

You can still visit Hlwong Por Suea Dam at Wat Sri Nuan Tammawimon, in Hnong Khaem, Bangkok municipality. here is the address in Thai for a Taxi Driver;

Note; The fourth famous Suea was Suea Fai - he is no longer with us.
