I see. Well, I still find myself having to overcome sexual desires with porn. 
You could argue that masturbation is also keeping you attached to this Earthly realm.

Masturbation and sex keep you in a lower consciousness for sure. They also are just a straight up addictive desire.

I don't know enough about the archons to say things for certain. But yes, to me that also seems like the case.
All I know is that I want out this time haha.


>straight up addictive desires
Yes... I have been able to get off of it for months, but it's very, very easy to slip back into doing it. Hoping to make 2022 a much cleaner year.

I recommend the path to nibbana by David Johnson, look it up it's in the archives. I did metta meditation as expounded there and i have felt some advancement in the path very quickly. Metta is the answer, Siddhartha was right.

Metta is what it looks like when meditation is used as a tool for actual insight. Transcendental is purported by some people to cause this great advance in insight as well because it's basically rebranded metta.
In Hermetic magical practice this isn't even 'meditation'. It's just looking at a thing with your higher awareness instead of your earthly mind.
1. Extinguish your mind.
2. Place your awareness on something.
3. Listen.
4. ???
5. Get insight.

It's not for everyone. 


I've read metta is the key to the jhanas. I've experienced only the first jhana and it has sort of cured my hard heart. There is a shift in personality, and i think that's one of the important factors that makes being a hermit important for the path. I also think not all roads lead to the same destination, and evola expounded on that pretty well in his doctrine.
