Eliphas Leary - LAM 36: Earthing or Grounding

Like the titel says: it's grounding time, earthing of the forces and energies. Some methods are explained, others are at least hinted at.

Roman invaders! Just kidding...I've read about it a little. I've seen Cologne - nice city(and some old buildings I was wondering which one survived WW2). Hamburg for instance was...I don't know I don't want to offend sb but: virtually destroyed historical center, prostitution on the streets - sad.... Although in Hamburg there's very interesting big cemetery with beautiful sculptures - very pretty ANGELS.

@frabmag Well, my father survived the Hamburg bombing nights as a child, NOT hiding in a vault. His aunt said "if we gonna die, then peaceful in our beds and not in those tiny cement rooms filled with frightened people". Their house was hit only once, no injuries... but they suddenly had a great view: they could see the harbour twenty blocks away. Should you come to Cologne again, visit Melaten, the most beautiful cemetry. People say whose burried in Melaten goes straight to heaven... :0)

U said that U're from Western Germany. That's interesting story about the Worms. Some Jewish monuments survived there, a little strange but maybe that's destiny.

@frabmag I live now between Cologne and Nettesheim, and was born and raised in Bonn. We got plenty of old relics around here, from roman times through the middle-ages till now.

IMHO the most intersting part about Abraham's story about his voyage through europe is his critical approach that he met the different magicians with and that allowed him to see through their tricks.

Ok another question (forgive me but it's your topic I think(hope)) What do U think about new version of "The Book of Abramelin" I mean it's quite different and probably Crowley's conclusions are not proper. Crowley established contact with HGA, but he didn't use all of the possibilities that are available to present readers. So maybe it DOES work. Well I didn't try - do U now ,for example that these squares and other stuff from the book, actually work? Gold coins made by ghosts...LOL

[tmafkap]

@frabmag By "new version" you mean Liber 418, Aethyr 8? The difference that matters is that it takes less time now to establish the contact, I think this is a result of the movement of enlightment. In the original Abramelin some things (like the squares) have been added by later editors. In all grimoires, especially older ones, mistakes have been added to misdirect the uninitiated, those that know the systems can easily work out what's important and what's not (eg. Agrippa, part 1, chapter 44).

Ok thanks for answering me - "the lost soul".

For sure there are beautiful places like U said, next time I'll go to Melaten.

Have a good night!

For me for example it's interesting to think about the symbols not in the way of common dogma. Symbols connects us with sth and well actually I've studied physics and I know that sometimes it's really hard to say sth about symbols. U can create a concept, but the question is what's more important, the real math behind it or the dogmatic interpretation of the symbols? That's why I like people like Pike and Maly P Hall.

[frabmag]

Ok, deliberate mistakes, I like Manly P Hall lectures about this stuff(symbolism). You're right - critical thinking and analysis of the other systems - it's interesting. I mean it was long time ago. There wasn't a scientific method. Oh, I see that U believe that humanity is changing.

@frabmag It's sad that far from "civilization" there is something we could still learn. Even in my country north-eastern region (forest, marches...) is known from old myths, and natural medicine(magic also) and so on (funny that Christians go there to be cured and still some of them don't like paganism). LOL
