Just back from the cinema and watched this film, or rather back from the Chinese restaurant I went to after the film. Here in Germany the films are often out later than in the US and UK, so I don’t know in what form you could see the film presently.

I absolutely love it! This is a film magicians should definitely see. It’s a satire about paranormal research in the US Army and based on facts. The film has got the kind of absurd humour and is made with a sense of the absurd that makes it one of these films where you basically laugh afterwards. No one laughs out loud watching "Dr. Strangelove". Everyone laughs afterwards when you talk about the film. This one is in that tradition.

So you have these people mastering the paranormal in the film and see them fail entirely in certain situations. And that’s the kind of realism people need in relation to the paranormal. The realistic is absurd, the absurd is realistic concerning this topic and this film really got that.

I really wonder about this PSYOPS asshole in the film and others and what kind of people these might be in reality. The film is based on a non-fiction book, which I wanna read to find out.

The crowd of psi-soldiers in this film are really not that different from a group like KIA. These people introduce themselves as super-soldiers and then they are nothing but weirdos. And weirdos played by great famous actors. Super film!

Politics suck.

or is that politics sucks?

either way, it do suck.

I just had a mail conversation with our Alexei, and writing to him, I figured I am presently in a state where I don’t need magic. Neither am I a friend of the sports approach presently. I can not tell if this state will go on forever, but for whatever happens I have my collection of techniques.

This seems like kind of a goal of both philosophical and magical development. I remember that story of this Zen Master who gave up using the I Ching after decades because he had no need for it anymore.

I don’t guarantee I will never touch magic again. I don’t know what the future might bring.

Have you ever wondered about that? Maybe I can assist some who are still on the path, maybe I can’t, maybe no one will let me.

While for all the years this is basically what you long for, I just least expected it to happen in some way.

I repeat, I can’t tell if it is forever. And it is different from what I imagined a perfect life to be in the past.

Mysteriously enough, I will continue to be around here.

The film is a little older, so many of you might know it.

I believe that this film is a strong trigger for magic, in case the viewer is sensitive enough for it. Watching it attentively has preceded some of the greatest magical results I have produced. In any of the cases I was also regularly meditating at the time.

This is not as irrational as it may seem. Films can be similar to rituals. The basic dramatic structure of almost any film contains the viewer establishing a certain degree of either identificiation or sympathy with a character, so kind of a magical link with an element of the film. That character is then confronted with different situations so that the object of the magical link is going through energetic changes. The degree in which this can touch the viewer depends on the very storyline of the film and the interest of the viewer.

Interpreting "The Company of Wolves" likely leads to very Freudian ideas. And I can’t quite explain why this of all things can trigger magic so well. If I’d give an interpretation here it couldn’t substitute watching the film anyway.

In my experience it looks very much like the film is a strong magical trigger. My advice would be: establish a solid practice in meditation (alike Buddhist meditation or Liber MMM) if you haven’t, make your goals clear, refine beliefs, chances of the results etc., then watch "The Company of Wolves" in one session and with awareness, then afterwards meditate and just go for it. I bet this way you get what you want.

It worked extremely well for me if it wasn’t just coincidence. But I’m pretty sure it wasn’t.

I always wanted to be the artist but I am lazy. Now all my time is focused on my career – so maybe a bit of art here will satiate that starved child artist. And the inner camwhore.

I have a neato wacom bamboo pad and am into doodling things.

So I then will attach things here later. Here is wishing your enjoyment.

I recently got familiar with the story of "Memphis 3"- guys who got sentenced in accusation for the ritualistic murder of the school children in 1993. I am sure that some of you, especially the older ones, heard the story so I will not get into more detail here. The case is shocking enough- three teenagers got accused of killing and raping the school boys during the satanic ritual even though there was no evidence suggesting that any ritual took place or that these teenagers were murderers. Even though there was no clear evidence against them, two of the suspects got sentenced for life and one of them got a death sentence. Fortunately for the case, journalists from HBO, authors of the documentary "Paradise Lost" filmed the first trial which took place soon after suspects were arrested and they also made another documentary few years later. Thanks to them many people (including myself) could hear about the case.

Facts that "witch hunts" still take place nowadays or that police may do a terrible job at the crime scene are not surprising to me any more. What terrifies me the most is fact, that now -17 years later the case is still open. During this time all three prisoners tried to appeal in their cases. There was a new evidence found during this time; some of the "witnesses" admitted that their previous statements were false and even some of the victims’ parents are now appealing to reopen the case. However each of these appeals got rejected (the recent ones were rejected few weeks ago in January ‘10).

I don’t understand how this is possible. I don’t see how anyone could benefit from hiding the truth about this case. Is it possible that members of so called "criminal justice" struggle with their personal pride and don’t want to admit, they were wrong? :’(

This thread could become a discussion of places of power, but I also wanna report a certain phenomenon here.

I have several places in my reach which seem like places of power to me. Generally they all serve me to recreate, to fill up with energy and to contemplate. These places have in common that when I go there, I always come back changed, usually with a lot more perspectives in my mind.

In two of the places I seem to get flashes of the future, in one more accurate ones than in the other. In one of the places there’s a café with tables outdoors at a pond, which is mainly about energy, which like fills up my batteries. And then there’s one place where I mostly get ideas and inspiration and direction.

I just visted this last place once again. That’s a former rocket station which has been turned into an Art centre. The whole place features an interesting combination of nature and architecture. When I go there I walk along a road through the fields and then back when I go back home.

Now, I wanna mention that phenomenon. Everytime when I go back, maybe 30 metres before the village where I live begins, I encounter a younger woman moving a wheelchair with an older woman in it and they speak what sounds like Polish. They always just leave the village I am about to enter. And I cross their way always at the same spot of the road.

Of course I take that walk more often in spring and summer, and thought last summer, well maybe it’s their daily walk and it seemed I always arrived at that spot at about the same time, about 4 in the afternoon. Just that today I was there later and couldn’t believe it happened again at exactly the same spot.

By now I bet, it’s gonna happen again the next time I go. I will tell you, then. And I should maybe try to go at yet another time of the day then.

If this always happens to you at the same place, that’s really weird, I tell you.

One time last summer I saw something green in the face of the younger woman from further away. When they passed me, I saw she had a leaf on her nose!!??

They always pass me at the same spot there like it’s programmed into the Matrix. Huh!

But anyway, feel free to post about places of power in general here!
