ASKING FOR YOUR OPINION

~ Infinite States ~

What are states?

"So when I speak of states I am speaking of states of consciousness, attitudes of mind which create a body of belief." - Neville Goddard

According to Neville Goddard, "A state is an attitude of mind, a state of experience with a body of beliefs which you live by." In other words, a state of consciousness is the mental attitude you carry about yourself and the outer world. Your self-concept determines the state you live in and the experiences you have in your outer reality as you navigate throughout the world.

Ask yourself this:

Do you identify with the state of being a "victim" of the outside world or being the powerful master of your own reality?

▪︎States of being▪︎

If you are in the state of being poor, you will experience poverty in the outer world.

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

If you are in the state of being wealthy, you will experience wealth and riches in the outer world.

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

If you are in the state of being admired and wanted by others, you will experience being wanted and receiving admiration from others in the outer world.

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

If you are in the state of being unwanted and ignored, you will experience being unwanted and ignored by others in the outer world.

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

If you are in the state of feeling as if "the universe is always against you" and "life is difficult for you", you will often experience "misfortunes" and situations to prove "life being difficult and unfair for you" in the outer world.

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

If you are in the state of feeling as if your life is always perfect and everything works out in your favor at all times, you will experience having an utterly perfect life in all aspects in the outer world.

Your state of consciousness is the sole cause of all phenomena in your reality because you are the creator.

Shifting states

"A change of circumstance happens as a result of a change in your state of consciousness." - Neville Goddard

It is essential for you to shift your inner state in order to embrace your infinite power as a creator with confidence and manifest your desires. There are infinite states because every possible state already exists. Once you change your state, the outer world changes to match your new state of consciousness because you are the operant power.

You have the freedom to choose whichever state you want to identify yourself as and persistently living in that new state of mind manifests the experiences you have in your reality. The entire outer world is molded by what you are conscious of being from within your state of mind. Shift into another state in order to experience a new reality with changed results. You can step into any state you want and when you persist in living in the new state of mind, the outer world will inevitably change to match the new state.

No matter what, you are always expressing a state. When you shift your state, you see the world differently and think from the mental attitude of already being the person you desire to be, no matter what it is you desire to realize or who you desire to be.

Your state manifests

Before I begin this next section, I need to clear up something very important. There's a lot of misinformation in this community about what truly manifests into your life on autopilot as creators. Everything in the outer world is manifested from your state, not your thoughts. It is solely your state that manifests. The world is entirely your state pushed out.

Thoughts are *only* an indicator of the state you currently hold, so you change your state instead of targeting the thoughts. It is absolutely pointless and a waste of time to worry about your thoughts when your thoughts are only revealing to you what state you are operating from. Your state is what is truly manifesting on autopilot and endlessly shaping your experiences in the outer world.

Everything you experience in your reality is entirely caused by the state of mind you hold. You can only experience that which you are conscious of being because you are the operant power.

The outside world is only a mirror magnifying what you are conscious of being from within your state. You are always manifesting on an endless repeat based entirely on your state of mind as the operant power of your reality and until you change your state and persist in a different one, you will forever manifest the same circumstances over and over again, endlessly.

When it comes to manifesting your desires, you sustain the state of the wish fulfilled and mentally embody the confident attitude and knowing of the person who has already achieved your desire. You persistently live in that bold mindset of brazen impudence and view your world from knowing your wish is fulfilled.

If you identify with the state of "desperately trying" to manifest your desire and doing everything you can to "get" it, you are dwelling in the state of lack. You are embodying the desperate mindset of somebody who has not achieved your desire and therefore, you will continue to manifest experiences to prove that you have not attained your desire. This sort of poor mindset is also an indicator that you are living and viewing from your world from the "victim" mentality instead of truly seeing yourself as the master of your reality.

If you truly knew and understood you are the sole creator of your own reality, you wouldn't be "struggling" or "desperately trying" to manifest your desires with frustration and you would know for certainty that you already have achieved your desire. Why? Simply for the fact that you are the master of your own reality and nothing is impossible for you as a creator.

If you identify with the state of the master mentality and you know with confidence because you are the God of your reality, you already possess your desire and you truly recognize your power to move mountains at your command. That's an indicator you are living in the confident state of knowing. You are in the confident state of recognizing that you have already achieved your desire. Persistence in this state of mind will allow you to manifest your desire in the outer world.

Are you conscious of desperately "trying" to manifest your desires with "failure" or are you the person who recognizes that you already possess your desires?

To shift into another state, decide what it is you want and switch into the mindset of being the person who already has your desire. If you want to manifest a record deal, you persist in and view the world from the mindset of somebody who has already made a record deal. If you want to manifest extravagant riches, you persist in and view the world from the mindset of somebody who has already attained insane amounts of wealth. You can absolutely manifest anything you desire but you must persist in the confident mindset of somebody who has already achieved your desire for it to come to fruition in the outside world.

Since you are the powerful God of your own reality, your whole entire life reflects your state of mind as a result and this includes all the beliefs, ideas, and assumptions you hold about yourself and the outer world. The outer world has no choice but to conform to your state and what you are conscious of being because you are the boss in charge and you are always creating your own reality solely based on your state of consciousness. Simply shift into a different state of mind to experience a whole new reality as a result.

Play of Life

Think of your life as a play.

You are the writer, the director, the star of the show, and a character within the play of life.

Let's go back to Neville's comparison between states and rooms in a mansion.

"Think of the world as containing an infinite number of states of consciousness from which it could be viewed. Think of these states as rooms or mansions (...) with infinite plots and dramas and situations already worked out but not activated. They are activated as soon as human imagination enters and fuses them."

You are free to play the role of absolutely any character you choose for your role in the play of life. There are an infinite amount of possibilities and you have infinite characters to choose from.

Let's say you are inside of a mansion with an infinite amount of rooms and each room holds a new character role for every possible situation. When you enter a room, you become that new character and you embody the new state. As soon as you enter a room, you become a whole new person and you take on the state of the new character you wish to play. When you choose the character role you want to take on and you persist in the state of the chosen character, you experience that character's beliefs and assumptions reflected back to you in the outer world. The state of the character you persist in embodying determines the experiences you go through in the play of life.

"You can move into many states and play many parts (...) When you are rich, you are the same actor as when you are poor. These are only different parts you are playing."

▪︎ If you choose to play a character who is in the state of being absolutely wanted and adored by everyone - your character will experience those beliefs and assumptions in the play of life.

▪︎ If you choose to a play a character who is in the state of being ignored, unwanted, and invisible to the eye of others - your character will experience those beliefs and assumptions in the play of life.

▪︎ If you choose to play a character who is in the state of being treated as royalty and worshiped by others - your character will experience those beliefs and assumptions in the play of life.

▪︎ If you choose to play a character who is in the state of being wealthy and free from financial worries - your character will experience those beliefs and assumptions in the play of life.

▪︎ If you choose to play a character who is in the state of always being the center of attention with a seductive Marilyn Monroe effect upon others - your character will experience those beliefs and assumptions in the play of life.

▪︎ If you choose to play a character who is in the state of being a mysterious and bewitching female fatale - your character will experience those beliefs and assumptions in the play of life.

Do you understand the point now?

The character you identify as directly goes back to your state of consciousness. The character you identify as in the play of life. Your current character role determines the experiences you have in the outside world because you are the master of your reality.

Ask yourself this: what character are you currently playing in the play of life?

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

▪︎ Examine your character role below:

How do you see yourself? - Is your character a "victim" of the world? Or a powerful master?

What is your character conscious of experiencing?

What does your character believe and assume about themselves?

What does your character believe and assume about the outer world?

Is your character conscious of struggling with money? Or is your character wealthy?

Is your character conscious of perfect health or is your character having health issues?

How is your character's relationships with others? Are there any patterns in how your character is treated by others?

Is your character desperately "trying" to manifest with little success? Or is your character confidently aware of already possessing the desire?

Is life easy for your character or is life always difficult?

Is your character wanted and adored by others or is your character unwanted and left in the dust?

Can your character manifest desires easily? Or does your character "struggle" with it?

Does everything always go wrong for your character? Or does everything always go right?

More About States From Neville:

▪︎ "Always expressing a state, you identify yourself with it by saying: I am poor or I am rich. I am known or I am unknown. I am wanted or I am unwanted."

▪︎ "You can change states morning, noon, and night, but the state to which you most constantly return constitutes your dwelling place."

▪︎ "You can satisfy self by appropriating the feeling that you are what you want to be. And this assumption though false, that is, although reason and senses deny it, if persisted in will harden into fact."

▪︎ "The state, the attitude of mind to which you most constantly return, constitutes your dwelling place. If you dwell in self-pity you will express the state."

▪︎ "The world and all within it are states of consciousness objectified. Your world is defined by your conception of yourself-"

▪︎ "There is no one to change but self; that self is simply your awareness, your consciousness and the world in which it lives is determined by the concept you hold of self. It is to consciousness that we must turn as to the only reality."

▪︎ "Health, wealth, beauty, and genius are not created; they are only manifested by the arrangement of your mind that is, by your concept of yourself, and your concept of yourself is all that you accept and consent to as true."

▪︎ "It is just as easy to possess the consciousness of having your desire, as it is to possess the consciousness of not having it. Get the consciousness first and the thing is compelled to appear."

You gotta wait, BABE 😂👏🏻🔮

TAROT TRICKS: How to Avoid Blanking When Reading

To truly master tarot, you have to put in the time to learn the cards’ traditional and evolved meanings. You cannot rely on your intuition alone. That would be cheating. But, when you are a total beginner, your intuition could somehow be your tutor.

1) Use common sense.

Read the room, so to speak. Observe the mood of the card or the spread. Look at the facial expressions. The colors. The setting. The atmosphere.

This way, if the question is, “Does he love me?” and you get the Nine of Swords, you do not have to remember that card’s meanings.

You only have to look at the card and see that the figure in it is stressed, not happy. The color of it is black – a shade of negativity. The background has a bunch of swords hanging on someone’s head, like a threat.

Does this card look like someone who is in love? Not at all. You have your answer.

2) Refer to the name.

The Major Arcana is a cheat sheet in itself. The cards’ names contain their meanings.

What is a magician? Someone who can do magic. Therefore, in most cases, The Magician means having magic in your life, such as a wish come true or a last-minute miracle. Anything wonderful.

Who is the devil? Someone bad and evil. Therefore, The Devil is usually someone who has sinister plans. You are being warned against a toxic person, a dangerous situation, or self-sabotage.

When it comes to the Minor Arcana, all you have to do is remember what each suit means. Wands are passion. Cups are emotions. Swords are thoughts. Pentacles are foundations. When looking at a card, replace the suit names with the above. Suddenly, the Ten of Pentacles becomes the Ten of Foundations. That is, someone incredibly stable.

3) Form a sentence.

Remember this basic sentence structure: Subject-verb-object. Jason drank juice. Andy bought books. Stefan punishes bullies. Read spreads as such. Below is a nine-card spread read from top to bottom.

Queen of Pentacles + The Star + Two of Cups. “A woman (subject) wishes (verb) for love (object).”

The Empress + Six of Cups + The Lovers. “She (subject) will receive (verb) it (object).”

Knight of Wands + Six of Pentacles + Ace of Cups. “A Fire sign (subject) will give (verb) it (object).”

This way, you do not need to spend ages on interpreting one card. Instead, you are allowing them to interact and give you one coherent message.

4) Turn to basic math.

If you do not know anything yet about tarot numerology, remember your lessons in kindergarten. The bigger the number, the better. Would you rather have five chocolate bars or ten?

It is the same with tarot. Bigger often means better. The Nine of Cups is the card of satisfaction. But satisfaction fades. The Ten of Cups is the card of fulfilment. Something full takes longer to be drained.

When it comes to negative cards, the same is still true, except “better” becomes “worse”. The Nine of Swords is ridden with anxiety. But the Ten of Swords is reeking of death. Anxiety can get better, but death is final.

This even applies to the Major Arcana. But for that to make sense, you will need a deeper understanding of The Fool’s Journey – how the cards, even the negative ones, progress in wisdom and maturity.

5) Zero in on a detail.

When you are feeling overwhelmed by the amount of cards and their meanings, focus on just one detail to get rid of your confusion.

If the question is, “How will my finances be for 2022?” and you pull the Queen of Wands, focus on the throne, for example.

Do poor people sit on thrones? No. Only royals do. Royals are rich. They own jewels, land and castles. Therefore, the querent’s finances in 2022 are looking positive.

Direct your thoughts towards one object within a card, and start speaking about what that object generally represents. Simply voice out your thoughts, and you will arrive at the message.

Thank you for explaining! But what would be energy work? I looked it up and it seems to be some ancient techniques to heal energy balance in the body. I don't know what any of that means. And how would you confirm that it's god and not a trickster identity? I've heard plenty about those.

Hi! I know you're asking the other anon, and I do hope they see this, but I can give some basic answers that hopefully help too :)

Before you do any more research, please read this post!

In witchy and spiritual circles, energy work quite literally refers to working with energy! Your energy, the energy around you, and everything in between. Here's a good post about it (and some other things)! I would actually recommend going through their "energy work" tag for more posts.

When communicating with other beings, I'd say you'll get better at knowing who's who as you do it more. In general though, putting up the proper protections for whatever you're doing, trusting your gut, and knowing when to cut communication (aka banishing in this case) is important. Energy work is actually very helpful for this! One very basic part of energy work is protective work (which often involves visualizing a shield of energy surrounding you) and that is necessary when communicating with other beings. Here's a good post on protection!

If you already work with the law, use that to your advantage! Assume that you're properly protected at all times and that you're always communicating with who you want to communicate with (and/or any being who means no harm). I'd also assume that only the beings you want to communicate with can communicate with you! That's actually what I do with my deities because having them around can still be overwhelming. I imagine this would help a lot with trickster spirits.

Some clues that you may be dealing with someone/thing who's lying about their identity:

if you have a feeling they are (trust your gut!!)

if you find yourself low on energy, constantly or suddenly in a bad mood (for no apparent reason or everything is pissing you off), sudden frequent nightmares

if they constantly change their identity (not necessarily changing their names! most beings will tell you if they want you to refer to them as something else or if they're comfortable with another name. changing their identity for no reason is a whole other thing)

if they get very aggressive or angry when you ask for their real identity or say that you're going to banish them/ask them to leave

if they tell you that you're like... super important or powerful (like a god reincarnated or a high priest/priestess).

if they don't want to tell you their intentions for why they're talking to you

if they can't answer basic questions about themselves or you (or they keep answering with things like "maybe/idk". in general, you'll know the difference between an actual deity who's saying maybe for whatever reason and a trickster who's saying maybe because they don't actually know)

This is just some very basic information. This post isn't comprehensive! I hope none of this scares you because trust me if you have the right information and do the right things, you'll be completely fine. But you do need to know the right information and this post isn't all of it. So again, I don't want to overwhelm or scare you but if you find that you want to go into energy work or communicate with a deity, do more research.

UA here, I’m not very sure. I’ve always been able to just tap in and out of the astral realms. My mother says it’s because I’m made of the stars so it’s easy to leave this fleshy meat suit and crawl into the heavens/astral realms. I just kinda, sit/lay down, tell myself I’m ready to fly and I do. It can be a bit scary and I deffo don’t recommend others to do so with out first learning how to protect their energies and how to properly come in and out of AP, but it is fun to do. I actually-🐛🦋

That is sure interesting!

Intelligence types, personality types and magick

This could very well be me reading way too much into my own theories about magic. However, I do believe that intelligence types (verbal, spatial, intrapersonal, etc) play a part in how one works magic. Likewise, I also feel that personality types play a role as well. All of this culminates into a unique magical practice for each individual person. For the purpose of this post, I will be using my own personality type and intelligence type and relating it to my magical practice.

Let’s start with intelligence type, I am a linguistic-verbal intelligence type. My focus is writing, books, and speech. Along with this comes the physical traits of having hearing as my strongest sense. When I get scared watching a movie, I cover my ears because that is how I take in information.

In terms of my personality type, I am INFP-T. This breaks down into Introvert, iNtuitive, Feeling, and Perceptive. The “T” is for Turbulent meaning that I’m chaotic in both thought processes and in terms of action.

Now for the breakdown of how these relate to my magic. Intelligence type is how I express myself, I use speech and writing to express myself. My personality type is expressive of in what way my power is activated.

Introversion being that I like to practice alone without fear of being judged. On that front, I turn my thoughts inward and dive into a story or book or just journal.

Intuition is my drive. I am driven less by the prewritten spell work of others and more by what I hear when I interact with books or characters. My intuition is also how I know things will work right no matter how odd the components of a spell seem.

Feeling is my empathy for others. Without my empathy for others, I would be unable to tap into the deeper aspects of my power. This is also linked to my psychic abilities. My ability to feel the emotion behind the words of someone else.

Perceptive is how I see the world. Changing one little detail in a story or in an occurrence could have a domino effect. As an autistic person, my abilities to perceive the world is very different from a vast majority of the population. Perception is also linked to visualization, crossing the barrier between what is fictional or written and what is real. Speech and incantations fall into this. This is also where the power comes full circle. Linking back to my intelligence type.

Turbulence stands apart and on its own for various reasons. The first reason being that this is the spark. The fire that blazes deep within me. The is is passion, creativity, and insight. Turbulence is tapping into the chaos of the world and changing the way things are through the methods described above. This could be writing, or incantations or even pulling raw energy from a story. Turbulence is the core of my power. When I speak passionately about something, I can hypnotize people, this also links to my physical abilities. Touching someone while speaking passionately will amplify the effect.

So there you have it. This is the breakdown of my power via my personality type and intelligence type. It goes by many names and you can take your pick. Wordcraft seems most appropriate seeing as it’s defining of writing and eloquence. However, Bibliomancy could also be one. Whatever the term used to define this craft, this power, it is intrinsically a part of me. So what is your intelligence type and personality type, how does it link to your power?

Additional notes about guardian angels:

•you may fall under the guardianship of more than one

•your guardian angel’s very first decision at the moment of creation was to love you and accept its role as your guardian angel

•your guardian angel knows you completely and it’s knowledge is only second to God’s because it sees your life as it unfolds in time whereas God has known your entire life since before mortal life existed

•Fr. Ripperger (a Catholic exorcist) did a very cool talk about guardian angels that is available on YouTube

Thank you anon!! 🕊
