Autogod Defined

As of 2/25/12, this blog is open again.   I have some personal issues that I will have to deal with, but I vow to finish this blog for my readers.

I wanted to discuss my concept of an "Autogod". For years, I felt that being a Lutheran was the right religion to follow. Now, it appears to be a movement that generated after the beliefs of a single man. Many Christians have a number of beliefs brought on by other single men: their pastors, ministers, etc. Most people don't take the time to see things for themselves and will follow their minister in all thoughts. After a test of tithing to various religious organizations, I developed several theories as to how God (or the Supreme Being) really works. Some occultists or "New Agers" have a concept that visualization of goals makes things happen by natural laws that work in the universe. This is, in a sense, their God. I have 5 theories that seem to work and fit with some of the results I got from tithing: 1. Some ministers might even believe that God is testing or putting us through trials. Just as God tested Abraham, God may test us today. We aren't given everything we want, but we our faith is tested in life. 2. If you look over the Old Testament of the Bible, you find reward and punishment view. What you sow is what you reap. The Old Testament is filled with stories of God punishing man for his wrongdoing. Cross God and you are out of the blessings for years. 3. A lot of Christians believe that the New Testament means that we are freed from the curses that were upon before. We have to claim ourselves as new creatures in Christ. However, just because you are a new creature doesn't let you off the hook. We can't sin and expect to be new creatures in Christ. We would fall back into the sinful, world full of curses evident in the Old Testament. The New Testament is filled with a number of "if thens" that if followed would result in a number of blessings bestowed in our lives. Cut down on the "if thens" and you cut down on the blessings. This is my concept of Autogod. As we sow we reap more. 4. Much different than most Christians think. God doesn't supply all our wants. Law of attraction doesn't mean we get everything we visualize. The verses go: He supplies all our needs and not wants. He doesn't supply a 50 inch HDTV, luxury car, million dollar home in the best part of town. The only riches to strive for are the riches of heaven. Read the New Testament and you will find that one should mirror Jesus in healing the sick, cast our demons and raise the dead. 5. Last but not least: God could be just chance or random happening. Maybe, there is no miracle at all. I remember reading in one of these televangelist's books about a married couple that kept having miscarriages. They kept trying for a new baby. They kept their faith something like 5 times until they finally had a child. The congregation prayed and the couple was finally successful. After all the medical bills, I can't say it was a miracle. I can only say persistence payed off for the couple. If at first you don't succeed try, try again! You may have your own theory as to how God works. Most churches can't seem to agree on one truth. It makes me feel that the Bible was never meant to figured out. We were all just meant to discuss it openly like discussions on talk shows.

The 11% Solution and Autogod

Updated 12/28/12

When it comes to selling, Christianity has been a religion that has been pushed on people much like door-to-door sales of vacuums in the past.  My family gave me the subtle push to be a Lutheran at an early age. Eventually, I finished confirmation classes necessary to "confirm me". At about the time I was 18 years old, our family then started attending other churches more evangelical in nature.

Let's examine the concept of tithing. By the time I was 22 years old, I would be conducting one of my first religious test. I would be testing the tithing concept. My mom and dad always differed on their views as to whether one should tithe to a church. Mom read her Bible everyday and believed one should always give 10% to the church. Dad would say, "Your mother wants to give everything to the church."    He questioned if giving to the church ever amounted to anything. Which one of my parents was right? Were they both partially right? I would soon test tithing to see if it really worked. This was strictly a tithing test and I wouldn't be doing all those other things like praying, going to church and trying to covert others over to the faith.

I decided to tithe 11% to see if that really changed my life. I had heard one is supposed to tithe 10%, but giving more should bring more blessings. Right?   I was pretty broke working part-time at a fast food restaurant and I needed some good results. Within a short time, 50% of the employees quit. I was moved to team leader. I wouldn't try another tithe test until I was out of college and married the 2nd time around. I was working as a temporary worker for a major corporation. In 3 months, I got hired in with a $3 hour pay increase. In 7 years, I moved to computer operator at $9 an hour and ended up eventually at $13.53 an hour. Unfortunately, I got greedy and used the tithe money for a trip to Las Vegas. Everything fell apart when I returned. I lost my good job. I eventually went to work again for another company as a contractor. Resuming the tithing test, I soon moved up to co-team leader. I was then leader in 1 year. I was a little more stingy with the tithing and the company was bought out!  They started letting us go.  Another job down the drain. More recently I have switched to giving to the Salvation Army to feed the poor instead of the former Christian evangelical TV evangelist organization. I have noticed light bulbs failing right away, cars rusting and falling apart more, more repairs for the house, 2 basement floods in 1 year, leaks in the house, and health troubles have increased since I gave up giving to the church!

So, where am I going with this? I am not endorsing Christianity, but wanted to show you the results of my test. I want you to make up your mind about all those tithing ideas. If God is working he is pretty subtle in his miracles. I used to have a theory about an Auto-god. Is God automatic? If I immediately tithe 11%, 15% or even 30% will God come back with financial blessings? Or if you aren't a Christian or lead a sinful life are you less likely to see anything good coming from God? After all, Moses pissed God off in the end and he had to separate himself from the rest of the Israelites to go live by himself. Maybe God is an old "stick in the mud", furious, stubborn being. My conclusion is that when you tithe someone around you will loose in the workplace and you will reap that person's wages, position or some other work benefit. We will examine the idea of cursings in an upcoming blog posting.

New Ways to See Old Mysteries

As of 2/25/12, this blog is open again.   I have some personal issues that I will have to deal with, but I vow to finish this blog for my readers.

Basic Concept: The ancient Egyptians and their magic have been considered as one of the most powerful groups of people on Earth. Tales of their magical powers are hinted at in many books. If one believes the Biblical story of Moses working against Egypt to free the Israelis to be a true one then Egyptian priests were a formidable foe. A lot of Egypt's magical knowledge is lost, but there are hints as to what they did. There are many books today that reveal more about the Egyptian priests.

Books to Consider: The Sacred Magic of Ancient Egypt, Egyptian Paganism

My Story: I have read a lot of books about Egyptian magic and history. However, the 2 best books would have to be the 2 listed above. In the first book mentioned, I noted that there were 5 elements invoked and not just the air-earth-fire-water. The second book mentions the "Zep Tepi" event. This event was kind of a belief in a myth. These books gave me an idea about how a true Egyptian initiation must have went. I have gotten some idea about how Freemasonry can be rewritten in regard to this new understanding about Egyptian religion and magic. In my research, I looked into the Ennead and Ogdoad. The Greeks modified many of the Egyptian concepts and may have passed many off as their own. The Greeks hint at what the Egyptians were all about.

Concluding Ideas:

In Search of Pea Salad, Coincidence and Connection Between Mind and Our World

Updated 6-2-2015

A number of books have come out in the last few years on law of attraction. For example: Ask and It Is Given: Learning to Manifest your Desires by Esther and Jerry Hicks, Not Manifesting? This Book is For You! by Kathleen Mackenzie, Born to Manifest: Law of Attraction Tools and Techniques by Thomas Michael Murasso, The Law of Attraction: The Science of Attracting More of What You Want and Less of What You Don't by Michael Losier, The Complete IDIOT'S Guide to the Law of Attraction by Diane Ahlquist, The Law of Attraction and Other Secrets of Visualization by Dr Laurel Clark, The Everythng Law of Attraction Book: Harness the Power of Positive Thinking and Transform Your Life by Meera Lester. All those books are in my personal library and I felt they were good enough to add to my collection. Those books are a good start to understanding this spiritual law.

These books help me to remember weird events that took place in my life as well and understanding why they happened. Let me give you an example. I love pea salad. The only problem is that my wife never seems to make it enough. One day I happened to be thinking about it at work. I must have been really bored to have the time to think about this wonderful dish. I had thought about it over a few days and my wife mentioned she was thinking about making it again. I had not even discussed my ideas with my wife. Some of you may be thinking that some married couples share a mind control where they tend to think about the same things. Maybe so, but I'm kinding of thinking this has something to do with the law of attraction.

On another occaision, I tried finding one of my favorite nutrional books called the 'Vitamin Bible'. I searched over and over. I couldn't find it. A week went by and I never stopped looking. My wife mentioned that she wanted to visit a friend at the other side of the state and wished that I would accompany her on the trip. I agreed, but was surprised to find that my wife's friend had the same book on her shelf in her living room. I happened to look right at the shelf upon entering her friend's living room. Some of you may be saying coincidence.

On another day, I was at work and happened to notice the last name of an individual that seemed to stick out in my mind. I came across the name 'McMaster'. It kind of sounded cool. It was almost as though the name meant something to me years ago. I kept toying with it in my mind. On the drive home, I came across the name again on a sign on the side of a truck. The name was used in the name of a business. Some will say another coincidence.

At this stage, I am not sold on coincidences anymore. Everything does happen for a reason. Everything we focus or dwell on eventually comes out in the world in some way. You might know some coincidences like that in your own life. What's the old Biblical saying? "Seek and ye shall find..." I've experienced this phenomenon more than once.

Spiritual Force Energy: Just Pretend, Pray to the Spirits and They Perform Tasks

Updated 6-2-2015

I have studied many types of magic. I had come up with my own system of magic and had developed my own magic called the "Forces".  Using the process of prayer from the Bible I had created a prayer to those spirits I referred to as the "Forces".  One can view these spirits as part of God.

In the past, I have studied books from the Al Manning.   Manning ran the ESP Lab of Texas.  I believe it is now run by his son in Colorado.   I had also devoted time to a book called, How to Use Astral Power: Key to a Miraculous New Life.    I combined both to create my hybrid system.   I utilized the concept of prayer from the Bible to create my system.

I found that by practicing New Avatar Power and learning other forms of magic I had a real interest in this sort of thing.  I bought occult book after occult book soaking up information like a sponge soaks up water.  I wanted to learn as many of the secrets as I could.  I wasn't a fan of all Manning's magic, but his book on Gnostic Magic shed some light on how to give up things to get other things. It was kind of like sacrifice or trading things with the spiritual world.  Manning believed one should have fun with the spirit world. The other author, Reginald De Koven MacNitt, was a U of M professor who wrote about Astral Power was a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan. His form of magic was similar to prayers. Spirits would then intervene after we called or prayed to them. I probably used more these author's philosophies than anything else to develop my own magic. I was to the point that I could write my own rituals.

To be successful, you have to suspend your judgement.  Just pretend something is there just like a child pretends to have an imaginary playmate.  We all used that imagination at an early age, but now we forget.  Practice again.

Let's get started on this journey together...

Evocation and Raising of Spirits Out of the Ground

Updated Title Change 6-2-2015

Basic Concept: Evocation in its basic form is bringing forth a spirit or spirits to physical appearance by magic in order to ask questions or perform tasks. In some circles, this is called goetic magic.  It is a common belief that once a magician has found the power to fully control spirits it is assumed he/she can have anything he/she desires. This magic is also extremely dangerous and not meant for the beginner. Only one who has been working with magic for awhile should attempt evocation. This is one idea I should be delving more into in an upcoming book to be released in 2011 or 2012. I hope to release a more pure form of invocations and evocations than what is available in print today.

Books to Consider:
Ceremonial Magic & the Power of Evocation by Joseph C Lisiewski is one of the better books out there. Lisiewski has good insights about the dangers of this kind of magic. I believe he has felt the effects of this magic personally. High Magic by Frater M (check author spelling) has done his homework too. He covers a lot on the topic.
Familiar Spirits is
The Truth about the Evocation of Spirits
Power Secrets from a Sorceror's Private Magnum Arcanum by Gavin and Yvonne Frost
The book by Steve Savedow was quite a story. Savedow blows out electrical system in the house when he calls up the spirits. He talks about the dangers and pitfalls also, but does not seem to have succeeded in what he aimed to do.
by Steve Savedow

My Story: I haven't done a lot with evocation personally. It is more dangerous than invocation. Invocation is a safer drawing in a "God-like" being whereas evocation is typically calling lower grade spirits into a space. Evocation usually involves a spirit that might be hard to handle.

The 3 books above involve evocation and are a lot harder to master.

My Dealing with the Devil

Updated Title Change 6-2-2015

The Concept: There are stories that float around that make us aware that it might be possible to sell one's soul to the Devil for a large sum of money. You don't have to go that far, but you can make small deals all the time to pull things in your favor.

This one isn't in any of the books and I found this out by experimenting. Some people think that in order to make a deal with the devil you have to sell your soul. It's kind of like the old Faust story where the poor fool has the Devil collect his soul on a specific night. No, that is simply not the case. If you are in trouble with a large financial obligation or a legal judgement has brought against you make use of the following ritual. Some people can't get God to answer prayer, but they can get Satan to work because most people are afraid of him. Fear is like negative faith. If you have a large need you just have to come up with something you can give up in exchange for the favor that Satan will grant you. Maybe you can promise to stop giving money to the church or going to church all together. Make it something worthwhile, but something you can commit to. Don't try to trick the Devil with giving up chocolate bars. It is has to be something major that you can give up. Remember, a deal is a deal so don't try to go back on your obligation. Of course, if he doesn't fulfill what you wish you are under no obligation to keep your end of the bargain. Let's get the props ready...

The top of some bedroom furniture makes an ideal altar. You can use an old dresser. Clear the dresser of any normal everyday items such as pictures, personal items, or receipts. Place a dark cloth down or if none is available don't bother. Obtain two black candles or red candles with some holders. Don't spend a lot, but if you are missing some good candle holders take a trip to the dollar store. Fill your altar with other occult items such as a deck of tarot cards, a magic mirror or a crystal ball. These aren't really necessary, but only help to establish the atmosphere. It's important that you feel the atmosphere is right. If there is something you feel is not quite right take some time to fix it. For example, if you think a crystal ball will really help go out to your local new age store to buy one. Occult supply kits are usually found at major booksellers in your area as well.

If you feel that jeans and T-shirt are less than serious try wearing your robe or some dark sweats during the ritual. Before the ritual, be sure you are alone in your apartment or house. At the very least ensure that won't be heard. If anyone hears about what you are doing they may think you are wrong about doing this, they may be afraid of you or they might just think you are crazy! Don't tell anyone you are doing a ritual. Light the candles and concentrate on what you want. Look into the candle flame and pretend the Devil can hear you (he actually does listen whether one believes he is there or not!) Address both "Moloch and Satan" as though you were speaking to 2 people in the room that go by those names. Do not call out the name "Devil" as this is a general name and is not specific as to who you are calling out to. Moloch is like saying "Mall-eck." Both demons are of the same corresponding influence and will work together. Speak out loud about what your problem is and ask him what you want him to do. Tell both of them what you are going to give up in return if you grant him your favor. Repeat your need and what you will give up at least 2 more times. Plea with them and ask them that they grant you this favor. Really mean it. Don't joke about this. Be serious and the Devil will take you seriously in your request. To seal the deal kneel on one knee, place your hands above your head like you were trying to grab a ladder. Say "Barad Moloch! Barad Satan!" Barad is pronounced "Bah-rod." You are giving them the ultimate respect by hailing them in the Hebrew language. Stand up and stare into the candles for awhile. Let your mind just drift or daydream for a few minutes. Extinguish the candles. Try to repeat the ritual daily until you get your results or the event has passed. The Devil works on matters of accusations, litigation or any situation where someone is pointing the finger at you. I usually work on more positive aspects in my life, but the Devil would work equally as well at bringing a politician down from a particular position. I've dealt with the Devil on 2 separate occaisions and assure you the above ritual works well. For personal reasons, I will not disclose what I wished for.
