Sometime between 10,000 and 7,000 BCE, according to conventional archæology, a most important event took place — the domestication of the wild African goat and the subsequent #freedom to begin cultivation of grain.
This effectively heralded the beginning of human civilization, as for the first time primitive man was free to turn his thoughts to matters other than a constant search for #food.
The ability to think seems to set us apart from other creatures. And although we are concerned with living in the physical world, we are mental beings. The fact is we are thinking all the time.
We plan, we brood, we get depressed or elated — all of it is thought. But the universe is mental too, and if we could #control our thinking we would see magnificent results in the everyday world.
Hypnosis was known and used in ancient Egypt, where magician-priests officiated at “sleep temples” in which sufferers of various afflictions were cured by visitations of the Gods — most probably while the patients were in a somnambulistic trance.
Egyptian magicians hypnotized animals such as lions and cobras. In India the #occult hypnotist first hypnotizes himself before operating on his subject. This is a most magical approach and very effective. It seems unknown outside of esoteric circles.
Most of the magick we see today comes to us from ancient Egypt and Chaldea. The Chinese, Hindus, and Tibetans developed their own unique types of magick.
Western magick was locked up by the Egyptian priests for thousands of years and then suppressed by the rise of Christianity. It was not until medieval Europe that magical knowledge was rediscovered by the alchemists and Cabalists. People such as Aleister Crowley and Maria Orsic are notable references for our current epoch, they lived in the mundane world recently and many people still believe in their "prophanery" or at least in the providence they lived by the will of "god"...
Only now, during the past hundred years or so has western culture been open minded enough to permit widespread investigation of the subject. Only since the start of the twentieth century has science shown much of an interest in it at all.
My advice is to not venture to judge other beings but to see things with fresh and open eyes in order to make most out of science and technologies. We live while we are alive therefore, for almost everything is changeable.
