The key is baby steps. At first these visions will be simple "day dream" like overlays, just imagination stuff. But with much time and practice they will begin to become more and more solid until you can no longer tell them apart from what is "real".
It took me well over a year of daily practice before they became indistinguishable from my normal physical vision. That may be a long time, but the results are well worth it. Keep at it! :3

When the entities start "answering the phone" or you begin seeing astral via the third eye, don't take them super seriously.
Don't mock them but don't be in awe of them either. You, as a sentient biological super computer made from the husks of dead stars, are every bit as amazing and fantastical.
Moreover, no matter what they tell you, nor how amazing your abilities may seem, never fall under the temptation that you are the "chosen one" or some
super wizard, nor are the techniques you've utilized to achieve your results the "superior" way of doing so.
Think of yourself more as an astral astronaut on the road of discovery than a grand high king of the wizard people.
In other words, DON'T TAKE IT ALL SO SERIOUSLY and you'll have fun and remain every bit as stable/sane as you are now. :3

Thanks for responding. I guess what concerned me the most is how risky and error sensitive it made magic seem.

Something that appealed to me was the experimentation and the idea of essentially building your own "system" especially considering how many sources there is to draw inspiration from. But if modifying, adding, removing or simply lacking information and preparation for the techniques can cause serious negative consequences as hinted at in the posts and the manual itself then that method carry some serious risks. Maybe I've read too much into it or I'm taking too much from fiction, "Don't disturb the circle!" and all that.

Oh there can be much danger.
Spirits can and do fuck people up all the time. You could end up in jail, a mental institute or get straight up bricked.
Spirit work is the most dangerous "practical" magic you can explore because, like us, some are kind and benevolent while some are cruel and malevolent. Local spirits are difficult to fuck up if you grasp
how to program them and aren't a sociopath but non-local spirits are a crap shoot. You're dialing a random number and have no idea who will answer the phone.
The greatest danger however is driving yourself to madness, especially when you reach the point where you achieve manual control over a brain function that is meant to be autonomous. It's autonomous for a reason.
If you can just flip a switch and feel ecstasy, numb pain, over/under clock mental attributes etc. the temptation will always be there. No mater how high you've stacked your enlightened ego-less ziggeraut, there will be temptation.
The brain is entirely too complex to navigate blindly. It has so many interconnected moving parts.  By pulling on one string, you will always inadvertently tug at other ones. Our maps are detailed but are of very limited territory.
This is why it is so important that this technology is released to the every man. Because in doing so they become open to experimentation and peer review. New territories will be explored. New details will be revealed about the paths thereof.
Again,

In the comments section of the various manual pages. Don't remember the exact pages but I saved the messages for my notes.

Here are the relevant parts of the posts. I cut it down to save space but hopefully the context should be clear.

---On Robert Anton Wilson and withholding critical infromation--- Posted Jan 9, 2015

"If the translation is correct then it would be right after you've "unified" with your Superconscious and you're facing the great delusion. This is the point where you either let go of your old sense of self identity, sets of "reality tunnels" and be reborn as a new "being" or go banana shit crazy. I would highly recommend extreme caution and preparedness when you reach this point, even Robert Anton Wilson himself fucked up here and went bonkers for a few years.

My personal theory why it's discluded in most Kabbalistic texts and usually only given by oral tradition is that if the texts themselves fell into the "wrong hands" 
(i.e. a non-member of the Cool Kids Club) that the lone practitioner would go coo-coo for cocopuffs and thus the "threat" is neutralized. Pretty fucking gross IMO."

---On "Awakening the Third Eye"--- Posted Jul 18, 2016

"If I fuck up or release sloppy work people's lives could be ruined.
There's a book called "Awakening the third eye" that while absolutely brilliant was sloppily put together and ended up
causing many of it's readers to be stuck experiencing incredibly horrific hallucinations for the rest of their lives.
I won't allow that to happen because of me, even if it costs me my 15 minutes."

Thank you kindly good sir. My goal was to create the book I wish I had when I first started.
To provide a solid universal (i.e. agnostic) foundation for people to branch out and explore whatever sub-genre of magic that strikes their fancy, in whatever flavor tastes sweetest to them.
Because we are all different, we will likely be attracted to different traditions that cater to our own personal belief systems and it was of MUCH greater importance to me that
people find their way to the tradition that will work for them rather than be bottle necked into the one that works for me. :3

Is there a 'clean' version somewhere? Without the condescending tone and swear words. It's a fascinating read but I'm having trouble with the snarky tone of some (most) parts of the book.

Also, if an editable version exists, I would love to give a hand if you want to translate it.

Don't let it bug you so much, some people didn't grow up the same way we did. Some people can let it all out and some people see it as a sign of disrespect.
Could even be a person from a completely different culture with a completely different idea of what swearing means. To us, it means casual and honest, to them it may seem mean spirited or rude.

Badoatlyf In reply to ??? [2017-02-13 01:24:45 +0000 UTC]

Why do you focus so much on the Third Eye? And it's not even the Sixth Chakra, the Sixth Chakra is inside the brain. The Third Eye is a mere extension of it. If you meditate on it, you'll see. That and,  the things you say about working with spirits and your incomplete approach on security and how you underestimate anything that may try to "invade" is, to say the least, dangerous. You may want to work on these areas if you want to feed many mundanes with this info. That and, magick is only dangerous if you handle it wrongly. Really. The fact you want to help people is cool, but you should revise your teachings.

bluefluke In reply to Badoatlyf [2017-02-16 23:47:30 +0000 UTC]

The third eye is the sixth CIRCUIT. I'm using the Eight Circuits of Consciousness as the example system, not the Chakras.
There's a nifty conversion chart between the three major systems in the manual if you're having trouble.
I explain to "never let them in" at least four times and cover defense of possession five times.
I'm not sure you actually read the book because it sounds like you just took a glance over and magusitus got the better of you.
Also, "mundanes"?  Everyone has to start somewhere. Looking down at beginners or non-practitioners is kind of a childish.

Badoatlyf In reply to bluefluke [2017-02-20 04:34:50 +0000 UTC]

Mundane literally just means people who do not dabble in magick, I do not mean neophytes. While I certainly like magicians more than non-magicians, I know most people do not do magick because of indoctrination, laziness or being too busy fighting harsh life conditions just to survive.

Also, I was referring to the tidbit that said "This method also debunks the whole third eye = Pineal Gland theory" at the end of Level Four. While the third eye is not the pineal gland, it is directly tied to it as the pineal gland is, so to speak, the "center" of the Sixth Chakra which is located in the brain. And the third eye is an extension of this chakra. I know you say you don't take the chakras as a model but it works practically the same for everyone, so you could have at least added a bit about the pineal gland being actually important nonetheless.

I did read your book intensively (at least the first two chapters) when I was a wee neophyte. I found the information useful and again, I know you are trying to help mundanes and neophytes alike for free which is admirable; but maybe you could also warn people about the common possible pitfalls of Chaos Magick; such as throwing caution to the wind regarding some areas (especially spirit work, very dangerous if not handled correctly). I know you gave some instructions on being wary but unfortunately, awareness alone simply won't "keep out" anything more powerful than you. The physical has its laws, just as the spiritual does. And on both planes, there are beings far stronger than most of us. Just as we can't stop an armed gunman from shooting us merely by "not letting them"; any sufficiently powerful entity can easily bypass your will and enter you, like it or not. Maybe for your next chapters, you can write about empowering your aura and programming it to defend yourself. I have found that to be exceptionally effective.

Belief is powerful indeed, but for best effect, we need force behind it. For one should not forget that just as much as you can believe something, so too can the other party. What happens then? The greater *force* wins.

Yep, no swallowing. The trick is not to think about it or distract yourself.
Try using a box fan and if you get itchy they concentrate on the feeling of the air blowing on your skin.
Any movement that you initiate will signal the brain that you awake.

Once you are able to induce the pressure/tingling on command you can move on to visualization work.
It will happen naturally. It should always work when you're practicing but for some it comes and goes randomly during their day to day.

They run away most of the time if you assert you dominance in any way because they are afraid.  They don't have to be predators, it's just easier for them to go for fear.
It's like us, sure, cooking a complex meal from all manner of freshly picked/hunted ingredients tastes much better but going to the grocery store is vastly more convenient.
I understand peoples fear of them but they can in fact be downright sweeties, it just takes time, work and trust.

I go over a rudimentary banishing ritual at the end of chapter six (custom programs), though it involves
working with Soul Resonance, and I'll be devoting a level to banishing in the next chapter.
Caroll's method is solid and fairly similar to mine.
The lesser banishing ritual of the pentagram has always been popular as well. :3

In the final step of your second exercise, the one on meditation, you tell us to focus on the breath. This is a form of dharana, which is only part of the full insight meditation process. Will the mind be silenced eventually with enough practice, or do we need to switch to something else along the road?

bluefluke In reply to Broadvenom [2016-12-30 01:30:40 +0000 UTC]

While a lot of the underlying machinery of Eastern Mysticism and Western Esotericism is the same, the end goals are very different.
For example, in this exercise the goal is focusing all consciousness into a singular point and directing that point where you wish rather than quieting it.
I liken it to teaching a group of people to sing the exact same note so that they act as a single powerful voice, unable to tell where they begin and their fellow voices end.
We do not want to silence their voices, just their individuality. In this act, the mind cannot comprehend anything outside of the singular note it is singing in symbiotic harmonic oneness.
Nothing outside of it exists. This is Gnosis. And as beautiful as it is, as tempting as it is to bask in it's light forever, it's just your first step into wonderland. :3
