/lit/ - Literature

99.9% of occultism is bullshit.

Avoid /fringe/ tier meme shit like William Walker Atkinson, anything that spawned from the Crowley linage (Thelma, etc.), chaos magick, ancient jew shit, ancient egyptian shit, victorian shit, satanists edgelord memes, convoluted bullshit that brings nothing practical to the table, and so on. Pretty much everything that is considered 'occultism'. It's all a waste of time.

Learn to meditate under a quality framework (Buddhist, Yogic, whatever), and learn to LD/AP.

The mental refinement that comes from high level meditation -I'm talking about like Jhana, Samadhi type of stuff here, not just surface-level relaxation tier effects that meditation can have- and being able to operate in a full on 3D 'virtual' environment with access to facets of reality that are otherwise not experienced, is -from my experience- the basis for not engaging in bullshit level occultism.

The air was cold and dry. A soft breeze gently caressed the tall grass that surrounded the plane as the men stood guard, tightly gripping their weapons. They had been standing for hours, scanning the horizon for any sign of life, anything that stood out in this deserted valley of Central Asia. Their contact -- a Serbian mercenary -- had chosen this remote location. "It provides the privacy needed when you do business like we do business." he told the men "The locals never venture that far.". Special agent Bill Wilson -- the head of this expedition -- could see why: sharp cliffs, treacherous pits and no sign of human infrastructure. It almost seemed like a miracle when the blue jeep finally appeared in the distance, two hours too late. "Well, Serbians aren't exactly known for their punctuality." he said to his men, more to break the silence than anything.

As the Jeep drew close, Wilson quickly glanced at his men. "Stay Frosty", he warned. Over the past months, he had been slowly building the trust of this hired gun called Barsad. He had invested quite a sum in gifts and bribes to win his faith. But mercenaries only have one God: the almighty dollar, and his little pet project could turn his coat at any moment.

Wilson was unpleasantly surprised to see six men emerge from the vehicle, followed by confusion as he noticed the three masked figures, visibly hand-cuffed and held at gun-point by what appeared to be an underling of his Serbian contact.

A familiar face stood in front of the group. "Dr. Pavel", Wilson barked as he recognized the old man "I'm CIA". The agent had carefully studied the files concerning this nuclear physicist. After the end of the Cold War, this prestigious professor had fallen out of grace, getting himself involved in business with the most shadowy figures of the underworld. The men shook hands.

"He wasn't alone." Barsad indicated, pointing to the hooded men.

Agent Wilson didn't understand: "Uhh... you don't get to bring friends.".

Dr. Pavel snapped back: "They are not my friends.".

"Don't worry, no charge for them.", said the Serb with a smirk.

Suspicion arose in the mind of the special agent. This wasn't part of the plan, this was unexpected. And Bill Wilson is not the kind of man who likes surprises. "And why would I want them", he replied, incredulously.

"They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man... "

Wilson's heart skipped a beat. "BANE?"

i think that people are idiots and always buy terrible things

I'm no aspiring writer or anything, I'm just looking for somewhere for people like you to criticize my work. It's CIA fanfiction, so don't expect anything great. Just tell me what you think. I wrote it pretty quickly so it seems jumbled and messy.
