Hi guest! As you can see, the new Wizard Forums has been revived, and we are glad to have you visiting our site! However, it would be really helpful, both to you and us, if you registered on our website! Registering allows you to see all posts, and make posts yourself, which would be great if you could share your knowledge and opinions with us! You could also make posts to ask questions!
You simply don't have the creativity, grit, discipline, or courage for any actual kind of practice. You don't have the strength of character for the Left Hand Path or the depth for reverence & awe that it takes for the Rhp. Truly, you should go back to Reddit.
believe me, i have tried all sorts of practices: tantra, zen, chakra opening, psalm prayer.... none of it really helped.... so what does that leave me with other than overthinking to the point i hope the crushing reality of the world gives me an inch. this is more than personal, its existential and involves all of us. what are we even doing if we cant back any of it up with a cohesive resume of results that goes beyond confirmation bias and placebo?
Maybe you personally just failed, have you considered that? Perhaps the practices aren't bullshit, it's just you. Given that you have a very "punchable" aura, I can say with certainty that the fault isn't in the thousand year old traditions.

well being able to astral project would be a good start, along with a bane spell to get people to back off when they call me an idiot. nothing deadly, just something that gives me an edge. i guess fire magic would be pretty cool, but its a bit dangerous when living in a heavily forested area, so might as well settle for shadow magic.

as in i can actually see the energy building up in my hands kind of magic, nothing "symbolic" or whatever cop out those chaotes come up with.

I'm familiar with psychokinetic manipulation of fire, but I have not investigated its veracity. What you are describing you want to do is more in the realm of psionics rather than what most people talk about when they say magic, or 'magick'. There's a great deal of online material regarding psionics, and if you're having problems with other forms of occultism it may be in your interest to study some of it. Best of luck.

. Personally, I believe Robert Monroe's series of books on astral projection are a greater resource than HemiSync or similar technologies when first learning how to do it. But you could try to combine both and see how that works for you. I would use stereo or wired headphones, and set them to a comfortable volume in combination with the other conditions. It could also be used as the focusing point to keep your mind awake.

I just looked into it. Apparently, the effects are electromagnetic rather than coming from the sound itself. So magnetic headphones would probably be more effective. Or in other words, the effects are caused by the drivers in the headphones, with the sound itself having negligible effect. You'd have to try it and find out. I think it'd make for a good thread if you decide to do that.
