Re: Question on Soul Mirror work?

["fist_of_mars" <fist_of_mars@...>]

Hello Jason,

I've been working on step one for about eight months, but only very 
seriously for about two months (i.e. close to an hour in the morn, an 
hour in the eve). I am experiencing massive life changes.

With regards to the eucharistic-based magics, at first I 
impregnated "health" into my wish. This seemed to have the effect of 
making me exercise more, heh heh. Because that wish was so abstract 
and because I was having trouble, at the time, creating IIH routines, 
I did breath/food/drink impregnations with the wish of succesfully 
managing IIH step one routines into my daily schedule. In two weeks 
I was doing my hour in the morning and a week later I had no trouble 
doing it in the evening, too. Wish completion in 3 weeks!

Events did alter in support of the change but if they hadn't I'm sure 
I would have changed my environment anyway.

I impregnated health into my girlfriend's soup recently and she went 
from a terrible cold to feeling much better in one day. So it seems 
to work on other people, but I'm not going to experiment too much 
with this right now. Consider that as minor anecdotal evidence. My 
girlfriend did not know that I'd impregnated the health wish into her 
soup.

To impregnate food I do this personal childhood magic thing where 
this guy in my head (yes, I know I sound crazy) loads the spell 
called Conscious Eating. I imagine this golden dust enters the food 
I'm about to eat. The guy in my head types out "Kiyan wishes he will 
maintain and complete his IIH step one routines." The data flows 
into the dust that goes into the food. I imagine various scenes of 
me completing the thought control meditations, the stretching, the 
soul mirror, etc. that compromise Step One and imagine these scenes 
in the actual food. I do this for about a minute. Then I eat, 
thinking the whole time about my wish. Sometimes I'll segment my 
food to various components of my wish. That brocolli is 
stretching/exercising, that forkfull of noodles is thought 
discipline, etc. I actually don't reccomend segmenting food like 
this, I only do it as a crutch when I have a hard time visualizing 
all my wish into all my food.

By the way, this is almost impossible to do this around other people, 
or if the radio is on, or if someone is talking to me. If I cannot 
escape company I try to cut my meal in half and eat half my meal 
magically and half my meal socially.

For this type of magic, I let my math/engineering mind stand to the 
side. I have faith, I do what feels right, I get results. I go from 
step A to C and then can presume that B is there even if I can't 
measure it with my ruler. So for me, the Akasha is there.

Gotta go, time for me to eat! :)
