Honestly, I need to write for my grimoire now on divination. What it is and how it works, and why lying to divination practitioners or giving false divination prompts to a reader provides individuals with shity readings that are inaccurate. Almost like if you put shit in, you get shit out.
I still also need to write on scientific illuminism and sciences relationship with spirituality, religion, and Magick at least in relation to my tradition as I have hang ups with simply applying the scientific method to these things as they are not science or trying to be science, and don't fit in cleanly to such a model without fully relying on very odd materialistic interpretations, or the psychological model.
Caity and Dan are joined by writer and co-creator of the Speech In The Silence podcast IAO131 for an interesting chat around the topic of scientific illuminism. We talk about what scientific illuminism is, Thelema and how it differs from other spiritual traditions, Aleister Crowley, mysticism, the reason for drama in ritual, meditation, the importance of keeping a diary for spiritual work, increasing control of the mind, developing ourselves and our view on the 'self-help' industry and the modern culture of quick fixes. We talk about how religion and science can co-exist, looking inside yourself for spiritual illumination as opposed to some external force, winding up Jehovah's Witnesses and the difficulty of relating experiential knowledge to someone who hasn't has the same experiences. We finish by asking the question of if you should undergo psychotherapy before or while you're embarking on spiritual work and what the benefits are.
About a year ago, I was interviewed as part of the “Greening Out Podcast” which mysteriously disappeared into the aether shortly after recording… Magically, a copy of the podcast interview has resurfaced and is now available for your listening pleasure!
