just how magickal is NLP?   Don't laugh - I learnt a bunch of Magickal techniques as part of my master practioner training. Do what thou wilt always has been the hole in the lore. It's quite clear to me that magick as defined by, say, Crowley, is precisely what NLP and DHE are all about - 'changing consciousness in accordance with will'. And just as in a ritual you go through a set of actions to produce a set of internal states, exactly the same thing happens when you're telling a metaphor or installing a strategy. Is it just coincidence (the 20th century superstition) that we also learn to control our tonality to produces changes in consciousness (here Enochian comes to mind)? Crowley even mentions (somewhere in "Theory and Practice of Magick") that when using the Tetragrammaton simply the suggestion to "enflame yourself" (the first of the chain of states) should automatically bring on the other states, and their culmination.

Well, most of us here have used NLP, and believed that RB and BG started it all. Many of us have realised some of the intentions behind it, but few have yet become aware of the true intention: a cover for the Ancient Illuminated Seers of Bavaria. NLP is a technology, a superior technology, and it is precisely the same technology that has kept this mad immortalist secret society alive for so long. Some here write about NLP and actually use the processes, but how many of us have realised what it's all about? NLP is a prank, a prank that worked, and perhaps works too well. It's true intention was to lead us into Magick in a sense. Now, the Bavarian Illuminati may begin all over again, or they may continue to try to install a deeper inner sense.

Certainly the signs were there. The discussions with Robert Anton Wilson (a known Illuminatus!) clearly showed something, but the curiously surprising thing about it all is how few of us have become cognisant of what was really going on. Hopefully there will be more of us who say all this is just a prank, and I for one feel that I'll be among the first here to agree. Fortunately now, we are all left with the right to a choice: to continue to disguise the limit or to build a new but unknown technology ourselves and be leaving all of this old NLP.

Hail Brigjs!
