Hi Elena,
First off, thank you very much.
-I can understand your frustration when it comes to the subject of the Archon as it is an incredibly complex subject, for the simple reason that we need to discuss this topic using words, which as I have mentioned on other occasions, is not the best method, being that words are for dealing with three dimensional space, and the Archonic forces exist in a dimension outside this one.
But as someone mentioned a while back, it behooves us to try and develop this language to try and explain these things because in the end, this is all we have, so I will do my best here.
Now, the relationship between the Archon and PBOBs is sort of like the relationship between a giant shark and a remora. The PNOBs benefit from the Archon but are not related to it, they ride the world that this Archonic force has created, but they are their own distinct species, and many of them have been here on earth far longer than the Archon, or humanity for that matter.
This is very complex mind you, as there are a great deal of non-organic predatory beings existing alongside each other. And as far as I am aware, there is no fighting between this megalithic Archonic being and the ‘smaller’ PNOBs, because they tend to hunt for different gradations of conscious (awareness) energy.
Many human thought-forms, on the other hand, can be said to be the work of the Archon, because it is the Archonic intent that is responsible for what we consider to be ‘me/myself/I’ conscious awareness, and the cloud of thought forms, of human origin, that inhabit this planet, are for the most part, the result of the Archonic intervention therefore.
Ok, in the most basic sense, the conscious mind, the conscious human mind, as we understand that term, is the Archon. IT gave us this mind, IT made us conscious, this is IT’s mind. And most creation by that human mind, in this world, is the result therefore, of the Archon. This includes the good and the bad. Most people don’t want to hear this though.

-Demonic possession can be the result of the Archonic host, which is the Archon itself, the result of powerful and aggressive Though-forms, or PNOBs. The best way to deal with these possessing entities is to use the techniques that I outline in the book, Vampire’s Way to Psychic Self-defense. Once these possessing entities are drained of energy enough times, they will leave the invading host. But there is a problem here in that you don’t want to drain the host body of energy, as this could cause other problems, so it is probably best that such work be left to someone that knows a good deal about energy work. Another option would be to teach the possessed person, during moments of clarity, to use these techniques themselves to attack these forces from within as it were. This is a hard call and I would say that it is best to, ‘leave it to a professional’, as some say.

-A woman, because of here energetic make-up, can use the entire womb area to store energy, while a man’s energetic field allows for a more concentrated Cauldron storage area only. The big difference being that women can ‘generally’ ingest energy much more easily, but they also have a far harder time ‘containing’ this energy.
Since the Philosopher’s Stone requires both energy absorption and containment, men and women are equal in the end, they just have different hurdles to overcome.

-As far as the placement of the tongue, I prefer a bit farther back into the palate which naturally angles the tongue up into the cranium. BUT, I highly recommend that you use the Inner Feeling Sense, described in the course book (Chapter 4), to find where the tongue should be placed for you personally, in accordance to your personal energetic structure.
This Inner Feeling Sense, when developed, will allow you to feel the flow of energy in your body. You may feel this flow of energy as a good feeling, or tension, a sense of rightness, or even an electric like feeling. We are all different when using this sense. Use this sense to find all of your energetic truths, this sense is most invaluable.

Hi Salomon,
I have not experimented with magnets so I could not tell you much about this. What I do know is that electromagnetic energy does have an effect on these polarities and I would therefore suppose that creating this kind of fluctuation of energy using magnets would be beneficial in keeping these energy centers active and in moving energy through them with greater efficiency. But this would most likely involve rotating the magnets so that they fluctuate between the magnets polarities. A better approach in my opinion is regulating sleeping positions since the Earth’s natural magnetic Polarities greatly affect these centers; a person born in the Northern hemisphere should try to sleep head North feet South, and those born on the other side of the equator should do the opposite, but experimentation is always the best. Sleeping this way should help with sleep, relaxation, and dreaming.
Please note that I am NOT a medical professional and this is personal opinion and speculation on my part only, please make sure to talk to a trained medical professional on all medical matters.

Definitely part of this has to do with that Archonic mind/intent that is invading our awareness. It does quite literally throw the book at you when you start to have real positive results from these techniques. Which means that it usually starts out as guilt or fear that you are doing something dangerous or something that you shouldn’t (taboo). These feeling are really individual and are dependent on your beliefs; whether you might be religious or ultra-rational for example. A religious person may feel that they are going against God(s), a person that believes in aliens may feel that they are trespassing against otherworldly forces, while an ultra-rationalist may believe that it is all a waste and a mental delusion that could become dangerous in time. The trick at this point is just to slow down, take it easy and slowly work up, not giving up, but making slow progress so that your increasing energy level slowly phases these feelings out.
I would recommend personally that you stay away from alcohol while doing these techniques, and also that you start slow and take it easy. In a way it’s sort of like doing weights while drinking; the lack of sensitivity can have you strain your body as you lift too much, and the alcohol in your system becomes even more potent because blood and your energy channels are flowing more powerfully. You also don’t want to lift too heavy a weight at first, you need to increase the power of your system; increase bone mass, muscle mass, and tendon strength for example.

Sorry for any confusion, what I meant by this is that as you bring energy up your arms, you will most likely feel that this energy meets at the middle of the body, at the same height as your arms, sort of in the same area as where the IN Polarity point is. From there you should move the energy into your Cauldron. Always move your energy into the Cauldron so that you get used to collecting energy there. It will move on its own, around the body meridians, after you have stopped focusing on it, but that’s ok.
If you do have a difficult time doing both drawing in and full glass breathing, then don’t worry. As you said, do one thing at a time and in time your ability to focus on the energy in and around your body will get better and better.
Your legs are the same as your arms; as you bring energy up both at the same time, it will feel like they meet in the center of the body (most likely the crotch area). Take that pooling of energy and move it to the Cauldron.

Why I gave relatively vague details here is that I do not like the whole chakra or energy point thing too much, which in my opinion is very much like dogma. Instead I want you to discover your own body channels, your own collection points where energy may feel this way or that. Don’t over think it or focus too much on following my instructions word for word. Instead, feel, see, or even hear energy move up your limbs. Try to feel, see or hear where this energy ends up in the body, and then move that energy to where you have judged your central Cauldron area is after you have explored your body’s energy movements using the Inner Feeling Sense discussed in the course book.
The only energy point that really matters in accordance with this energy work technique, is the Cauldron area, which you should try to discover through feeling as opposed to where I say it should be. Feel your way to your own power, and use the techniques that work best for you to get the job done; which is to absorb power and centralize that power in the Cauldron so that you start developing your Philosopher’s Stone (which again is something that you will begin to feel as it grows in power)…it will feel like a conglomeration of good feeling’ness (in one place at the center of your body) that seems to almost gain mass over time.

Thank you very much for your kind words Riley,
Energetic re-absorption is very important to the great work and the creation of the philosopher stone. As you have pointed out, it indeed has a great deal to do with the nonlinear aspects of time and existence. The best way to get a handle on this is to imagine yourself as not just being the person that you are here and now, but as being a very large conglomerate cloud essence that transcends many times; that exists across many time periods.
The many energetic wounds you have suffered throughout your life can be seen at any one particular time in your life. That is a future energetic wounds could be seen by someone that could see energy, and conversely a past energetic wound would be there as well, for them to see; all energy is now. So in essence you are like a giant cloud with many energetic leaks, that have and will happen. If you do not address those leaks, those wounds that are leaking energy, they will make it very difficult for you to keep and therefore refine the energy that you have been able to either contain, absorb, or reabsorb. This is so because this leaking of energy is constant. By addressing those many wounds and sealing them through the art of re-absorption, you are quite literally healing yourself on an energetic level.
Another more material way to say this, is as you say that if you do not address these issues, you will be tied to this plane of existence. You can think of an energetic wound then as an anchor that keeps you, keeps a part of your attention, tied to this dimension and does not allow you to fly free.

I think that in my latest book, the way of the projectionist, you get a much bigger feel for what and why it is the case that a person can’t just maintain their focus on the void polarity alone. The IN and the OUT are incredibly important, especially when it comes to maintaining individuality as one moves away from this three dimensional plane. Without any understanding or ability in either of these two polarities, maintaining safe individuality beyond this three-dimensional plane becomes impossible. As I mention on a number of occasions, especially in my latest book, those that would like to just VOID themselves will not find freedom, they will just find a different form of death.
Your thoughts, on absorption and containment are quite valid, in that and adept will and does move in between containment and absorption, between the different polarities, as is needed in accordance with their awareness and inner senses.

Thank you for sharing this information here Sylvaris. I am also glad to know that there are other magick practitioners that are participating in goals similar to mine.
As far as my term for the dark sea, I would say that your descriptions of it is as good as mine and that as you’ve already mentioned, words in the end are just attempts at describing perceptions that are often times beyond them. I actually did write an article on my description of the dark sea here, but again I think you sum it up as well as I; as to the infinity that surrounds all of us.

Great questions Derek, and I suppose I must start by pointing out something that I’m sure is obvious to you already but I suppose it is worth pointing out nonetheless, and that is that while the inner alchemy that I speak of is similar to the Taoist approach, it is not in essence Taoism.
Perhaps one of the biggest examples of this I suppose is the introduction of the three polarities within the body of my work which, at least to my knowledge, is not to be found within the Taoist system, but then again I am not an expert in this. Indeed, I suppose I should not be surprised to discover the fact that Taoism may have spoken about the three polarities as it seems to be a quite robust system.
Nonetheless, it isn’t Taoism and as such I have as best as I can tried to stay away from some of the dogmatic, dare I call them presuppositions, of Taoism. In my personal opinion, these presuppositions do suppose that a great deal of groundwork is needed, work that may at times be used to introduce belief structures that may not, at least from the alchemical sense, be applicable.
In this regard for example, I do find it quite true that to increase the ‘gauge’ of the wiring is most important, that this process does need to happen for the individual to be able to process more and more energy over time. But, it is also my opinion that such increase in the gauge can happen quite naturally and that there is no fundamental harm to be had to the system (the body-being), because the system will not (unless drugs are used or great trauma happens for other unrelated reasons) introduce large amounts of energy all the sudden. The body is a smart creation, and if practice is followed in a natural and light (as in not overzealous) manner, natural growth will happen, just like working out physically will naturally increase physical strength.
What I do advocate always, is complete relaxation of the body. I have tried to point out as often as I can that the body needs to relax, that any tension that forms within the body needs to be avoided so that work happens in a natural fashion. I do believe that what I usually say is to not stress yourself out, to work in a natural fashion. In that manner, you engage in energetic work without tension (slowly), without dogma, and over time you allow your own system to rewire itself, to increase the gauge naturally.
As far as using other cauldrons within the system, again I try to stay away as much as possible from any kind of dogmatic points of view. I say this because it is for example quite possible to engage in such practices using techniques that might for example mirror Yoga and their system of the seven chakras. It is quite easy to get stuck in the notion that one system is right while the other is wrong, that a certain energy center must be real while the other cannot be real, and again most of these dogmatic debates are based not on actual practice or direct perception but on belief structures that a particular group or organization might have.
The final point I suppose is that while I do provide a basic outline that does mirror Taoism to some degree, it is my hope that my readers also engage deeply in the act of trying to perceive energy directly, to work with energy directly, and in that way engage in their own form of practice in the long run (in their own individual form of practice), using whatever methodology works best for them, and in the end perhaps even creating their own internal maps and processes that allow them to go much further than these established orders, being that these internal maps are individualistic, highly personal, and therefore far more powerful.

Hi Sam I will just answer these in order,
1. It is possible and it is a very intriguing idea to try to re-absorb past sexual energy loss. My only concern with this would be in the adepts ability in this re-absorption process. What I mean by this is that there are different qualities or different vibrational levels to the kinds of energies that we work with and therefore expend. In the magnum opus book where I discuss these techniques, I am generally focusing on the more traumatic techniques which tend to expel a great deal of what could be referred to as a more gross energy. As such, this type of energy is actually a lot easier to re- absorb as opposed to something like sexual energy which actually has a much finer base as it were.
It is the case then that I do believe that you could absorb this energy but it would require a great deal of personal ability in these techniques. I think that the only way that you are going to find out if you can or can’t really is by trying it yourself and seeing how you do. You will need to do the techniques as I described in the book mentioned above, and as you do so feel that energy entering back into your system which might take on very much the same kinds of qualities as it did going out, which might make this work quite pleasurable in some way, but here’s the rub, you need to be able to absorb this finer type of energy without releasing any more energy while you’re trying to re-absorb it. You’ll see what I mean by this when you get there, but basically speaking the reliving of these old memories could incite more output that will outweigh input. This is the basic obstacle when it comes to absorbing some of this finer energy and it does require someone who can work with these techniques at of pretty high level. But again there’s only one way to find out and that is for you to do and to become better at, so good luck in this effort.
2. I am currently working on the third course-book in the magnum opus trilogy and I will be discussing a great deal about the after death experience there. I mention this not because I discuss your question directly in that book but because I do go over some of the underlying hierarchies that are involved in the processes that you are talking about here.
I won’t going to detail on those things there as they are quite complicated and I would rather you just read the book as opposed to me simplifying things a little too much here. Generally speaking though, yes there are a great deal of different connections between aspects of yourself that make you who are, and different entities that might be found across dimensional fields. The thing is though that moving forward, it is always a difficult thing to try to establish or reestablish such connections because they can greatly interfere with the work that you might have to do here in this dimensional field.
Such connections can greatly affect psychological stability and I would not recommend such connections be established unless you become quite adept at the work that I mention in my books.
And this leads me to your third question.
3. I am not sure if you have the second book in the magnum opus trilogy, which is the way of the projectionist? If you do then you’ll remember that in that book I specify that being that an inner alchemist does not have a teacher like Carlos Castaneda had for example, such a lone practitioner needs to take things in a step-by-step manner instead of being thrown in to the deep end of the pool. If you do have a teacher that can pull you out of the deep and then such deep dives for them is just fine, but for a person that is on their own and does not have such a teacher, then the only way possible is to do things from the beginning, securing your footing in that beginning, and then taking a next step, and continue.
If you follow the techniques as I mentioned them in that book the way of the projectionist, you will be advancing at a rate where you will not be able to fall into the deep end of the pool without first securing your first step. This will involve all of the techniques for example that I mention as far psychic self defence which you have mentioned that you have practised with great benefit. This will also include the ability to move and manipulate that double aspect of yourself that needs to be able to be quite powerful before it can go deeper.
Following such techniques in the outlined way, I do feel that a sober and emotionally contained practitioner will not have any issues.
I hope this helps, and I did find that your descriptions were quite adequate so no worries.

I cover some of this in chapter 5 of the book, the way of the projectionist. It is really as you say, a modelling exercise, and the individual basically trying to bring an understanding as to how they will (you will) separate your physical body from that travelling ghost in the machine as I call it in the book mentioned.
To use such modelling as the kind you mention that is used in computer programming is a legitimate one, and I would say that you should use it if it gives you positive results. In the end, and in essence, it is really about how the mind processes the concept of being both here and there simultaneously, something again which has very little to do with modelling in the end, aside from helping you bridge the gap mentally at the beginning, but everything to do with actual practice.
So, in the end, you are in essence at that transition point between there and there, the here and there simultaneously as it were. You are in contact and are becoming one who is learning to contact the ghost in the machine. You are beginning to understand energetically the difference between the separation of space and the energetic understanding that all space is here now.
So, after saying all that, if this modelling helps you to continue with it, but do understand that such separations are in essence an illusion.

As I see now, your second question is completely related to the first. You are in essence answering your own question by describing your difficulties in absorbing or finding your cauldron while in your ghost form. What is the advantage to the simultaneous understanding of here and there?
Well, it has everything to do with the ability of the energy body which includes both the physical body and the ghost in the machine (that is they are not separate units as some like to say) to work together. And such your ability to work in a simultaneous fashion with both the physical form and the ghost form has everything to do with energy, with true manipulation, which is not really possible unless such bodies are united, which they have to be because the concept of space as it is understood by modern culture, separating one thing from another, is false at a more general level from an energetic point of view.

Thank you I appreciate your honest question.
I must let you know that the one key component to my material is the ability to go beyond dogma and begin to engage in energetic perception yourself directly. What this means is that I show techniques that will allow you to directly perceive energy or directly work with energy yourself as an individual. You can use those techniques, that is you can read them quickly and begin to practice them within your situation quickly, and with some concerted focus of attention, you can and you will get results. While I do mention that there is a need for me to sometimes delve into a little bit of dogma in order to present these working techniques, generally speaking I try to stay away from the idea that I need to present certain supposed facts in a hearsay kind of idea, with only some kind of certificate or reference for my second ‘guru’ status and second-hand information. I want you to experience directly, I do not want you to learn folklore, dogma, or whatever else one could call such information.
By saying that I am this, and that I learned this from that, what I am really doing is justifying the nature of my dogma, giving it legitimacy in accordance to the rational rules, the rulership, of the very world that I am trying to escape. In essence I am providing scaffolding for your faith, and while faith might be important to some degree, it is my hope that in our progression as a species, we can begin to let go of that need to work in groups, to work in a hierarchical system where I work for a leader and you work for me, and instead begin to learn to become individuals.
You say that in accordance to what you know of the dogma of inner alchemy, in accordance to what some supposed experts have said, you consider some of my material to be inner alchemy, while other things are not. I say to you that terms are inconsequential in the end, and what really matters is your ability to work with energy directly, to perceive energy directly. I can say that from my current, my lineage if you will, this is the fundamental and the only underlying true principle of ‘inner’ alchemy. I can understand the need to try and verify certain things so that you might feel that you are not wasting time perhaps, and this seems quite intelligent. But I feel that there is a great deal of reading out there for the sake of reading let us say, and my hope is that you are willing to just take a chance on something, perhaps something that is slightly new to, something that has not been regurgitated over and over again through the dogmatic reams of information out there, and you actually try the techniques that I present. In doing so, I hope that perhaps that you will get positive results, and in that way begin to engage your focus of attention in a more precise and sustained way, so that in time, you begin to let go of all dogma, all ruler-ship, and instead follow the path of the individual; your path. This is the path that I follow. This is the path that is of my house. We do not have credentials on ‘walls’, we do not have addresses of schools that we went to. Instead we are expected to learn a certain amount of technique, a certain amount of ability to work with energy, and in doing so we can open up doors into new locations, locations beyond the dogma and the rule of the regular world, beyond the phenomenology of the rational, and there in those odd corners, in those odd places, we come together in ways that do not feel like a class reunion, but instead feel like the co-mingling of energy in a great dark sea.
Trust yourself, trust your individuality, trust your unrelenting focus and your own ability to know things beyond the dogma of the times, which is always a lie. Pick a certain technique, one that really appeals to you as an individual, one that gives you hope and feels like it is a path with excitement for you. No one else needs to know or judge you for this, this is all about the individual you. And in doing so, practice those techniques that I have outlined, and see for yourself, see if they work and allow you to gain some power. Change what does not work in accordance to your personal needs, augment and focus, then focus some more. In time, become your own judge of my work.
I hope this helps. The true way of inner alchemy is not about creating more walls, but I am breaking them all down.

I think that this is an interesting question, and I would have to say there is actually a difference between the two kinds of visualization. You might benefit from this method; when I talk about the way of the projectionist and moving across the rooms or any kind of astral projection you might say, then the focus on visualizing in the mind is fine generally, but when it comes to servitors and servitor creation, then the other kind of visualization focus comes into play.
To that end, depending on what you are doing you can go about it this way: when you are focusing on things such as deep inner work like projecting or energy work as I have said, then you can continue as you are doing and just focus within your mind. But if you are focusing on creating servitors or working with external forces, then see if you can visualize with your eyes open. What I mean by this is do not try to visualize something in the back of your eyelids, but instead open your eyes and try to visualize something in the space before you. For example, if you are trying to visualize a blue square, then open your eyes and see if you can visualize a blue square in front of you, occupying space in front of you. If you are in a room, then try to visualize the blue square floating before you, perhaps over a table in front of a wall. I hope you get what I mean.
