All the talk of incenses is also reminding me of something I saw from Porphyry and later Christian writers such as Augustine (possibly also the pagan Platonist Plutarch beforehand) going on about demons, or daimons (or at least "evil daimons" in particular) being satisfied by offerings that included vapours or smoke if I remember correctly.

[caelibane]

So Plotinus’ two main students were Porphyry and Iamblichus, who apparently had something of a rivalry with each other. Porphyry over his career as a philosopher took a pretty anti-material stance, and a part of that was a deep anxiety about the omnipresent daemonic. He divided daemons based on degree of control over their own spiritual bodies - rational daemons were entities born of the cosmic Soul and helped administer the sublunary sphere, irrational daemons were those who became overwhelmed by the sensations of the material and became engulfed by their own desires. They lie, cheat, misdirect proper religion, they are the agents of goeteia, they cause earthquakes and are just attributed to all sorts of nastiness. Their bodies are very pneumatic (airy) and because the air is full of moisture that weighs it down, so too are the irrational or evil daemons attracted to all sorts of sensations that weigh down the soul - sacrificed meat, drink, the exhalations of warm blood. Synesius, who was influenced by Porphyry even as he was adapting philosophy for Christian purposes, wrote in On Dreams of demons filling the mind as sensual pleasures make reason leave it - almost like how homeless people enter a vacant house. Porphyry in the fragments of Philosophy from Oracles writes of something similar, that not just dwelling places but the human body is filled with evil daemons, they enjoy the pleasures of the flesh by infesting the human body. They do this by adhering to food and drink like parasites getting eaten by a host. It’s remarkably similar to what you see from the Church Fathers and it demonstrates a strain of Platonism that has really profound anxiety toward the body.

[alephskoteinos]

Something about the idea of the omnipresent daemonic has me wanting to deepen it, with certain ideas about the wilderness full of demons very much in the background of the imagination.

“She has abandoned all things, even God. She seeks neither mercy nor judgment, neither heaven nor hell. She has no name, no will, no desire. She has left behind the world, the flesh, the spirit. She has passed beyond time, beyond eternity. She is nothing. And in this nothingness, she is free.” — The Mirror of Simple Souls (13th and early 14th century)

Porete’s God is not an external ruler, nor a being to be feared or obeyed. God is an abyss, an infinite nothingness that swallows all things. To reach union with God, the Soul must die to everything, even to God Himself.

She describes a God who is so all-encompassing that, once the Soul is fully annihilated in Him, there is no distinction between God and nothingness. This is why she says:

“The Soul no longer seeks God, for she is lost in Him, and in being lost, she is found. But she does not know herself, nor God, nor anything. For there is only Love, and Love is abyssal.” — The Mirror of Simple Souls

This anonymous Christian mystical text (14th Century) echoes Marguerite Porete’s vision, describing God as an unknowable abyss, where the only way to reach Him is to let go of all knowledge, thought, and desire.

“You must forget yourself, and forget all things. Throw yourself into the cloud of unknowing, for God can only be found in the abyss beyond thought.”

The Cloud of Unknowing is one of the most extreme Christian mystical texts, written anonymously in the 14th century. Unlike traditional theology, which tries to understand God through reason, doctrine, and scripture, this text demands complete surrender into the unknown—a dark, infinite abyss where thought and selfhood are obliterated.

It teaches that God cannot be known or understood—the only way to reach Him is to abandon all knowledge, let go of the self, and enter into absolute nothingness.

"God cannot be grasped by the mind, nor touched by the senses, nor understood by reason. God is not light, nor darkness, nor thought, nor silence. The only way to reach Him is to abandon all things, and to throw yourself into the unknown." — The Cloud of Unknowing

CW: Ego/Identity Death! Continue with care!

Oh to be reset. Maybe even erased.

Imagine being taken by something beautiful, you're minding yourself, existing as you always have, and the next moment you're somewhere else. A basement, a garden, a quiet segment of forest, it doesn't matter. And she's there, she stands in front of you. Her eyes are as gentle as can be. You try to scream but she puts a finger to your lip.

"Shhh, it's okay pet, you're safe. I know how you've suffered." She plays with your hair, she leans in to kiss you on the cheek. You don't resist, you don't want to. "I'm here to make things much better~"

You feel something sharp penetrate the back of your neck. You feel it drain you, perhaps not physically, but you feel your grip on reality lessen moment by moment. Your memories are fading, at first a day, then a week, fragments disappearing moment by moment. Where did you go to school? I've forgotten. Who is your family? I don't have one.

"Don't worry pet, it'll all be over soon, you'll be able to start from zero, doesn't that sound lovely?"

It does sound lovely. So lovely. You choke back sobs for a moment, unable to tell if they are tears of joy or fear. You call out to the woman through tears.

"Yes Pet?" She says, her voice smooth as honey.

"Please... Hold me..."

Her arms wrap around you, squeezing you into a comfortable warm embrace. She pets your head, humming a gentle tune as your eyes flicker.

"Good night pet, it's time for you to rest."

Your eyes softly close.

When you awake, well, maybe not you, but you, she's there.

You don't know who she is. You don't know where you are. You don't know your name. It's scary. Everything is scary.

You curl up in a ball as you begin to sob, it's the only thing that makes sense. She comes over to you, and gently pets you. You look up to her with innocent eyes. She's so pretty.

She tells you your name, she tells you that she'll be your caretaker from now on. She tells you that she will love you to the fullest. She tells you that you'll never have to worry again. Even through the fog, you know she's telling the truth. Her earnest love sings through ever word. She offers you her hand. You reach for it with your shaky paw and hold it tight. She helps you up, your poor legs give out as you find them hard to use. She doesn't let you stumble for long as she lifts you into a princess carry. You nuzzle into the crook of her neck. She's so soft. After some minutes of walking and being carried, you hear a door creak open. A flurry of warmth floods over you.

"Welcome home pet~"

You feel your heart beat and your cheeks flush. A warm delight blossoms deep within you.

You smile.

You're home!

we are corrupted with the mark of the beast. we shall perish for submission to the beast

“And it was given unto him [the false prophet] to give breath to it […], that the image of the beast [Satan] should both speak, and cause that as many as should not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead; and that no man should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, [even] the name of the beast or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man: and his number is Six hundred and sixty and six.” Revelation 13:15-18

“And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.” Revelation 14:11

[theweightofdivinity]

I’ve heard the word “Draco” whispered in spiritual spaces for years, often coated in fear. Reptilian beings. Cold hierarchies. Dark agendas. In religious spaces, too, the serpent is cast as the deceiver. The downfall. The thing we must resist. And for a while, I believed that. When I heard the word “reptilian,” it echoed like something evil, something to cast out. But as I studied deeper, I realized: what we’re told to fear is often what we’re meant to understand.

Draco is Latin for dragon or serpent. It’s also the name of a constellation that coils around the north celestial pole. It is an ancient symbol, not of evil, but of guardianship, power, and unfolding intelligence. To the ancients, the dragon was a sentinel. It didn’t block the path, it tested the one who dared to walk it.

The word draconian later became associated with harsh laws, discipline without compassion, another reflection of the serpent archetype when it’s unintegrated. Power without heart becomes control.

But Draco isn’t just in myth or the stars. It’s in the body. The “reptilian brain” or basal ganglia is the oldest part of our nervous system. It governs instinct, survival, repetition, and dominance. It is not demonic. It is primal intelligence. The first fire. And in spiritual anatomy, it mirrors the kundalini, the coiled serpent at the base of the spine, waiting to rise. In mystery schools, serpent energy is sacred, but only after it’s been feared, demonized, misunderstood. Because the truth is: the serpent doesn’t tempt you. It initiates you.

So when people speak of the Draco lineage, I don’t perceive it through fear-based agendas, but rather as an energetic inheritance. Not everyone holds it the same way. Some wield it as control. Others refine it into clarity. Some use it to hoard. Others rise to guard what’s sacred. What I’ve come to understand is this: the serpent is not the enemy. It is the threshold. You don’t conquer it. You integrate it. You don’t fear the power. You learn to hold it without becoming consumed by it.

Fated Love in Astrology

So, every person has a divine partner that they are meant to be with. Your union with your other half (I hesitate to use the world “twin flame” only because of how misconstrued it is in mainstream astrology/spirituality discourse) depends entirely on both of your individual spiritual awakening and commitment to the spiritual path.

In astrology, the 7th house represents marriage, or, as I like to call it “union”. The 7th house, is the 7th house from the 1st house. It is the descendant to your ascendant. It is the shadow to your ego. Whenever we cross paths with an individual whose luminaries fall to our 7th house, it creates a very magnetic & intense attraction. It’s almost inexplicable what you feel for each other.

With that said, this sort of connection is not logical or rational. It defies all norms. The key to recognizing your divine partner is the intense attraction you feel towards them right away. There is no hesitation or second guessing, you’re simply awestruck by them. Nowadays, we all have a very tedious approach to relationships (due to our collective trauma and bad experiences), everybody walks around with a checklist to find someone who will fit their criteria but that is not how Divine Love works. You just know instantly that there is something different about this connection. That is not to say, the nature of the relationship will be easy. Fated connections are never easy and not everyone is meant to find their Divine Partner. 

When such a person comes into your life, it usually triggers your ego death; they become responsible for you losing the shell of identity you held close to you. All your fears, your shame, your vulnerability comes to the forefront and you have to confront everything you’ve ever repressed. It leads to a dissolution of self. 

In Sufism, there is the concept of “fanaa” which can be translated to “annihilation”. In order to merge oneself with God, it is first necessary to annihilate everything that you consider to be you. It’s important to “to die before one dies”. Love & Worship are very closely intertwined. This is exactly what “twin flame” connection feels like. You rid yourself of your ego, you dissolve your sense of “self”. Sounds intense? That’s because it is. It irks me when people talk about twin flames in a casual way because a) not everyone has a twin flame b) this is not a fun experience in any way, shape or form c)This is the least casual of experiences

(I am using the word twin flame here only because it is a term that more people are familiar with, I wanted to speak of the spiritual background of that experience whilst using a term that’s already familiar)

In Jungian psychology, there is the concept of anima/animus, which refer to the unconscious masculine aspect of a woman and the unconscious feminine aspect of a man respectively. One aspect of being a “whole” human being is to integrate these unconscious parts into yourself. This is similar to what a twin experiences, your other half seems to be in the shadow, hidden from your view, crossing paths with them, brings that realization to you and now in order to unite with them, you must first dissolve yourself and merge with that unconscious image of them. 

There is a reason why twins “mirror” each other; they are a reflection of you and vice versa. This is why every interaction with them strikes a nerve in you and you feel their absence like a phantom limb. 

If you’re on a twin flame journey or would like to know more about it, I suggest immersing yourself in Sufi philosophy. To a lay person, the Sufi concept of Love may seem dramatic and over the top but for those in the know, it will seem deeply familiar, because ultimately your longing and yearning for your “twin” is your innate longing to seek union with God/the Divine. We were all made in pairs and to know the other is to know God and to know God is to know Love.

These connections are presented to you in order for you to ascend. Why were you chosen for ascension over millions of others? That’s the divine plan, not up to us to question. It is entirely possible to meet such a person at a time in your life when you’re completely spiritually unevolved (this is very common) and they usually trigger your dark night of the soul. This leads to positive disintegration although nothing about this experience feels positive in any way, shape or form.

Actually uniting with your twin and sharing a life with them is a long shot. Its often an unrequited love. It requires A LOT of work by both people. There is a lifetime of purging, integration and inner work before union could ever be a possibility. Most people who use the term “twin flame” are using a fancy spiritual label to describe their excessive interest in someone. You don’t have a twin flame, you’re just manic. 

In Arabic literature, there are 7 stages to love, it is as follows:

1. Dilkashi or attraction

2. Uns or attachment

3. Mohabbat or love

4. Akidat or reverence 

5. Ibadat or worship

6. Junoon or madness

7. Maut or death

If you believe you’re experiencing a twin flame connection, you have probably gone through these stages, maybe not in this order but you’ve probably experienced all of these. 

You experience an inexplicable attraction that draws you to them, regardless of how far you stray from them, your heart clings to them & forms a deep attachment, even though you don’t seem to understand it, you’re consumed by love for them, without even knowing why, this love morphs itself into reverence and soon enough it’s eclipsed even that & embedded itself as worship. Your feelings for them are so strong, intense and powerful even in separation, even in their absence that you feel yourself going mad. This madness is key because it brings you to the death of “self”. You lose all sense of who you were before you met them. You’re ripped of your ego. You die and die and die again, hoping to taste the love that will give life to you.

There are astrological indicators obviously but just because these aspects/placements are present, does not mean they are your twin flame. The biggest indicator is the deep sense of knowing you have in your soul, you don’t even have to know the word “twin flame”, you’re experiencing a magnetic, excruciating and tortuous kind of attraction. 

Some indicators:

1. Venus in 12h 

2. Venus in Scorpio

3. Primary Scorpio or Taurus placements (the Taurus-Scorpio axis creates the most intense chemistry between two people)

4. Moon conjunct Mars 

5. Opposite signs occupying many placements (Virgo-Pisces, Cancer-Capricorn, Gemini-Sagittarius)  

5. 7h synastry 

6. Bharani nakshatra 

Uniting with your twin can trigger your kundalini awakening. It is not for the faint of heart. Union is a very intense experience. Much has been said about twin flames and tantric sex. Imo? What we call Tantric sex is essentially the heightened feeling and intensity of sexual experience that a Tantric practice brings about. (its possible to feel this way with a non-twin if you have a disciplined Tantric practice). 

Sex is the source and root of everything. It is the cause of creation and nothing less than divine. Eros is the first god that could be conceived by man, he is the creator of all beings and ruler of the universe. He is son of Chaos, the original primeval emptiness of the universe.

Longing, desire and Eros, all go hand in hand. When your soul has longed for someone for so long, the sheer passion and enormity of desire will make it a very one of a kind experience. Short answer being that sex with your twin will be out of this world and life changing.

In Sufism, there is a concept called baqaa which is subsistence through God. Someone who has experienced fanaa, or annihilation of the ego and self, finds God, unites with him and sees him in everything. This is what love of a “twin flame” nature does. It is all consuming and potent, you cannot walk away from it, even brushing with it briefly, transforms you. It purifies you and strips you of your pride, shame, fears and everything that you thought was “you” but the reward for this is understanding through first hand knowledge, a love so all encompassing, expansive, deep and profound that it forever alters the way you look at the world. You begin to love everything and everyone because you’ve tasted true love and its generosity. 

Karmic Partnerships

These are extremely common and almost everyone has one. They need not strictly be romantic. Many non-romantic associations can be karmic. These people to put it very plainly, come into your life, to teach you lessons. They need not explicitly be “bad relationships” but the energy is definitely not light hearted and its absolutely not meant to last a lifetime. You are meant to learn your lessons and move on from them and break the karmic cycle. However there are people who do not do this and stay stuck in the same patterns and perpetuate the same cycles.

Some indicators of Karmic Partnerships in astrology:

1. 12h synastry

2. 8h synastry 

3. Saturn aspects 

4. Capricorn/Libra placements

Soulmates

These are the most wholesome, fulfilling bonds between two people. Soulmates need not always be romantic. The bond is kind of instant and inexplicable. You just get each other. It feels fulfilling, empowering and light. It fills you up. There is no angst and there’s no chaos. 

Some indicators:

1. Moon signs that are compatible with each other

2. Moon aspects that are positive

3. Venus-Ascendant aspects

4. 5h synastry

5. Strong Venus or Jupiter aspects

6. Element compatibility (fire & air vs water & earth)

[spensorium]

Śrīkālasaṁkarṣiṇī represents the very power of Cit, consciousness, to draw all phenomena back into itself. Her name, which means “the one who draws in or absorbs time,” speaks to her role not just as a destroyer, but as the devourer of illusion, the terminus of all karmic cycles, and the supreme feminine principle who alone can reveal the highest Self. She is Kālī, but in her most esoteric Shaiva form..less anthropomorphic, more like a force of sheer Svātantrya, or divine autonomy.

She is the very ground of liberation, a current that calls the practitioner inward to the deepest heart of consciousness, where duality dissolves. Her fierce grace is not chaotic or random...it is precise and purifying. In her presence, all temporal identities collapse. She unveils the one eternal identity that has always been: Aham, the I-consciousness, the divine "I am" of Śiva, not as something to be believed, but as something to be known, directly and bodily.

While I am a nondual mystic whose metaphysical orientation most closely aligns with Kashmir Shaivism and nondual Tantra, I engage with Christian mysticism and Abrahamic doctrine through this lens. From this perspective, Christ is not the son of God in the sense of being the only incarnation of divinity or the sole bearer of divine essence, but rather the one who fully realizes the truth of Svātantrya..divine autonomy - through Pratyabhijñā, the direct recognition that there is no separation between God and Self. The Christ becomes an archetype of the liberated being, a mirror for the process of self-recognition inherent to all.

In esoteric Christianity, the Virgin Mary is not merely a historical figure or maternal archetype, but a cosmic vessel of divine light, the Theotokos, the God-bearer. She does not just give birth to Christ externally; in the mystical imagination, she is the soul’s mother who births the Logos within the heart of the devotee. She is seen as the perfect receptacle of divine will..immaculate not merely in sinlessness, but in total openness to divine purpose. Her compassion is fierce, her purity a kind of luminous fire that prepares the soul to be wed to the divine.

Yet Mary alone is not the full picture. Christ, in his esoteric expression, becomes the Logos, the liberating gnosis, the embodied truth that awakens the soul from death and reunites it with the source. He descends into the underworld not only to conquer hell in a theological sense, but to retrieve the soul from the depths of illusion - just as Śrīkālasaṁkarṣiṇī does when she swallows time and illusion to reveal the eternally unbound Self.

When viewed through the tantric lens, these roles converge in Śrīkālasaṁkarṣiṇī. She is the mother who births the Self, like Mary. She is the liberator who shatters all bonds, like Christ. But she is more than their sum..she is the very power by which such manifestations are possible. In Tantra, the Divine Feminine is not passive or secondary. She is primary. She is both the substratum and the revelation. There is no liberation without her.

From this nondual understanding, the Christian Trinity finds deep resonance with the Trika foundation of Kashmir Shaivism. The Father reflects Paraśiva..the transcendent, formless Godhead beyond all attributes. The Son, like the realized individual in Trika, represents the embodiment of Cit that has awakened to itself. And the Holy Spirit..as the divine breath or inspiriting power - parallels Śaktipāta, the descent of grace, the Shakti that initiates recognition and transformation.

In Kashmir Shaivism, the process of liberation is not one of mere belief or faith, but of direct experience..Pratyabhijñā, recognition. It is to awaken as Cit, and this awakening is not cold or abstract - it is fiery, intimate, embodied. It comes as the kiss of Bhairavī, the cutting glance of Kālī, the soft explosion of the Spanda, the subtle pulse of awareness that underlies all movement. And Śrīkālasaṁkarṣiṇī is the great initiatrix into this fire of realization.

The Christian mystic may look to Mary for comfort and Christ for liberation. But the tantric, realizing no separation between God and Self, looks to Śrīkālasaṁkarṣiṇī to dissolve the final veil and grant the lived knowing of Svātantrya - the freedom to create, dissolve, and abide in one's own infinite being.

Thus, she is at once the womb of God, the destroyer of illusion, and the bestower of absolute sovereignty.

You must be strong enough for this truth: you are not the life in you. You do not exist. No claim of “mine” holds. You do not possess Life—it possesses you, a burden you bear. It’s a lunar phantasm to think this “Self” endures beyond the body’s decay. Can’t you see this flesh binds your being, its every faculty—however solar or exalted—swayed by illness, trauma, or chance? Now, detach from this false self and cross the threshold, sensing the rhythmic analogy deepen into the telluric shadows of the force sustaining your form. Here it sheds name and individuation. This sensation stretches, merging “me” and “not-me,” pervading nature, upholding time, sweeping myriad beings—drunk, mesmerized—in its relentless, wild, limitless flow, ablaze with an eternal void and lack. Say to yourself: “This is.” If this truth turns back upon you, a kali-yuga frost chilling your core, an abyss yawning beneath—“I exist in this”—then you’ve seized the waters’ knowledge.
