The /x/-/lit/-/pol/ trinity is the supreme synthesis of all genuinely revolutionary, countercultural and groundbreaking thought today. /x/ fights against the brainwashing from Fundamentalist Materialism and dogmatic scientism on the one hand, as well as the priests, churches, and organized religions who work like mafias and more or less attempt to exclude, stigmatize, persecute, censor, belittle and/or ignore all non-officially-sanctioned spirituality, all studies and series consideration of occult phenomena and information. /pol/, on the other hand, battles against the progressive march of globohomo throughout Western civilization and the world at large, in fact, giving us the viewpoints, facts, and alternative points-of-view which the societal hive-mind likewise persecutes, censors, ignores, ridicules as “conspiracy theories” and so like.

The ideal /lit/izen is a John Bircher (or close to it)politically, is “woke” about who did 9/11 and why, how and why the pandemic arose from the Wuhan laboratory in China, what’s behind the social-justice idpol cult of today, the handful of filthy rich intergenerational banking bloodlines and dynasties who own the MSM, our politicians, and the banks, about the Khazarian origins of so-called Ashkenazi “Jews” (not the original Jews or tribe of Israel of the Old Testament), but also sees the Hegelian-dialectic and corruption behind Nazism (the ideal modern new scapegoat so globohomo can destroy all of Western culture and turn our grandchildren into androgynous microchipped twerking mulattos fed on a diet of insect protein and Onions), and so forth, as well as having incredibly arcane, erudite, and wide-spanning interests in and knowledge of the most obscure religious, esoteric, and mystical lore, beliefs and practices of practically all lands and all times in human history where they’ve shown up.

/lit/ has been, is, and always will be a GREENPILLED board

>I fucking love magic. I dream every day that I'll wake up and I'd be able to cast a fireball out of my eyes or something.

If that's the case then you don't actually love magic. You just love this pleb, sensationalist misunderstanding of what magic actually is. If you're actually interested in the subject, quit reading Fantasy shlock and actually delve into occult literature.

For introductory material I would recommend Eliphas Levi's The History of Magic, Madame Blavatsky's The Secret Doctrine, and Evola's Introduction to Magic. Any one of these three would make a good start, so it's your choice.

Evola's Introduction to Magic is the shortest of the three so maybe go with that first. In it's first chapter you'll quickly realize that magic has nothing to do with "shooting fire balls out your eyes".

No problem at all. Enjoy and hopefully get some wisdom out all the reading!

I might, just to be more informed on a worldview outside my scope and that I don’t necessarily have to fully agree with to learn from. Thanks for the response. A simple rebuttal would be, “There are precisely things in the human experience which can’t be measured or quantified, and making it all about behavior is simply about conforming to the paradigm of making everything easier and simpler for the leaders so humans can be processed like machines.” As the saying goes, The personal is the political. Valerian & co. would argue that Skinner’s behaviorism and giving credence to it is, in a sort of Hofstadterian loop, a psycho-social contribution to turning society itself into a Skinner box. Do you get what I mean? But it could be a useful tool in a toolbox as part of a holistic, well-rounded person’s view about psychology instead of being the sole lens to view everything through.

What? Fauci let the National Institute of Health (NIH) give grants to fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology of coronaviruses, research to make coronaviruses stronger, while Obama was President? The city in which the coronavirus pandemic happened had a lab in it studying how to make viruses stronger?

I remember Trump brought it up, oh boy. That was terrible. He was promoting violence against Chinese people by suggesting the virus came from the Chinese Wuhan lab and the CCP was covering it up. The news said so. Officials of the Democratic Party and the CCP could never have done a backroom deal to create and even release the virus at a specific time and place for strange political ends having to do with the desires and machinations of the 1%. That would be like something in a James Bond movie.

Imagine how crazy it would be if Fauci himself — everyone himself loves Fauci — was somehow behind the release of the virus he himself is now the authority of giving expert advice on? That would mean Fauci would be a liar and mass murderer on the par of Stalin, Hitler, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot, and the like. That could only happen in other countries, not in America under a Democratic President — if genocide WERE to happen in America, it would be under an alt-right fascist president and dangerous terror threat like Trump whipping people up into a frenzy over how evil minorities are!

NEVER in America!

Biden’s administration is flagging posts for FaceBook to censor that are spreading COVID-19 misinformation? That’s not an abridgment of the 1st Amendment right to free speech or anything! That’s not a drastically dangerous step for the US federal government to be taking!

Now Biden is sending people door to door to check up on the unvaccinated and ask them why didn’t get vaccinated and respectfully give them some information about why they should get vaccinated. An invasion of privacy, an infringement of medical autonomy, and a totalitarian liberal nanny state — what, why, I never ... !!! IT’S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD! Nothing creepy about it, bucko. YOU’RE the creepy one if you think it’s creepy, you stupid fucking fuck — fuck you!!!

Biden is so lovable, he’s just some lovable old man, he won’t hurt anyone like TRUMP did.

A seance, incidentally, would also correspond to the subtle/second body, and to certain practices in shamanism, but also could be a dangerous potential realm of deception not necessarily at all about reaching full spiritual enlightenment. All this occult nonsense could lead to full-blown schizophrenia, possession, mystification by false spirits/demons pretending to be “the real thing”, and so forth. This is also prevalent in modern “channelerism” (“I’m channeling aliens, the ghosts of various figures, and the like”). Think Edgar Cayce, for instance, with all his stuff about Atlantis, reincarnation, clairvoyance, and channeling stuff from the “Akashic records” while in a higher state. He at least didn’t wreck his own life while doing so, but, like Blavatsky, he made a sort of New Age mishmash futile dead-end spiritual road for people — maybe the best they can do in this lifetime and what works for them, sure.

It’s probably better to be a half-assed researcher of this stuff and not go into it full-blown unless you want to blow your brain circuits and end up in some type of spiritual mumbo-jumbo state of being led around the nose by paranormal phenomena. It’s better to be a crank or quack who doesn’t actually experience this stuff, for most people. It’s a potentially very aberrant road.

But you look at Vajrayana Tibetan Buddhism, for instance, and you actually have some stuff that corresponds to modern “seance”-like phenomena, such as making what Theosophists called “tulpas”, a topic much-loved on /x/, and which they stole from Vajrayana Tibetan Buddhist teachings of these lamas being able to genuinely project these thought forms, as it’s called in Evan-Wentz’s translation of the Tibetan Book of the Dead.

You look at the Tibetan Book of the Dead, what is that about? The states of awareness one goes through after death, the lights one sees, colors, sounds heards, entities that are met — all quite similar to shamanism. Probably from the influence of the native Tibetan Bon shamanism on it.

Basically, there’s a difference between shamanism/sorcery/occultism/paranormal phenomena, and enlightenment, but sometimes these are closely tied in quite interesting, unique ways. On the road to enlightenment you can and maybe even SHOULD experience these things at times. In Buddhism and Hinduism, it would be called the development of siddhis (miraculous abilities). In Christianity, it would be gifts of the Holy Spirit and miracles performed by saints.

When Christ raised Lazarus from the dead, how did that happen? Think about it. Assuming you as a faithful Christian believe it happened, do you just think, “It’s because He was God, no other explanation is needed”? Or are there interesting magical laws and ramifications behind this phenomenon?

These saints and prophets in the Bible were doing amazing things like fasting for weeks and weeks on end in solitude and the like.

Just what I was going to say. The Buddhist explanation, too, of course, since these traditions are so closely intertwined and much about karma and reincarnation perfectly matches between the two, except what Hinduism views as a reincarnating self (Atman, Purusha, or what-you-will), Buddhism views as just a Humean bundle or flux, like water in a river.

Everyone gets what they deserve and gets born into the exact station in life they deserve. Does this sound strange? Fatalistic? I recommend the Bhagavad Gita and Dhammapada.

But if it's as challenging as they say, wouldn't it make more sense to save it for after I have a solid understanding of his style?

This. MBTI is for faggot bitches and NPCs. Now, Astrology is for men of knowledge who stepped up past materialist reductionism.

>Let my shitposting be highest expression of brahman
Nonsense.
>To save the lost souls from suffering
Just despicable. I don't think you want that in the slightest. If you really want to help someone the very last thing you ever would do is come to this shithole website to shitpost.
