damn i have been really lazy i only got gnostic like once a week . most of my work i did on the fly without getting into a deep gnostic state.
now its getting harder to get into a trance state and feel my energy get bigger and bigger. i was feeling very mundane and not very spiritual.
my magick muscles are getting flabby. i hardly tried to influence anything and just let things be. i feel that my skills in achieving gnosis has been affected my inactivity. so these days im trying more frequently to get those muscles back into shape. i remember when i use to be addicited to gnosis and always wanted to be in that state where i can feel my energy getting stronger and stronger. i wasnt too thrilled about my obsession of always being gnositic because im so hard on myslefd that if i fail to acheive what i wanted and would fuck up my confidence. now im going for the middle path where i can be happy and have skills and confidence i want . it kinda helped me rethink my life a bit i want to lose wieght and make more muscle in my physical body as well . i already quit smoking cigs so i am kinda proud myself for that too. so yeah..... i learned that if you dont upkeep the work you put into your gnostic state and you dont keep it in shape you will lose some skill. the same rules apply to material world too. i guess i was naive, overconfident and foolish .

    Good job with the smoking thing. With the magick though, it sounds as if all that intense study and practice has made yr gnosis an everyday activity, something that you have gotten more then used too. It has happed to me, but due to the fact that you are still thinking about it, proves that you have not lost it. So for now, just relax and allow thhe magick to blend with the mundane. Do as tho wilt and harm none.

    Well done for giving up smoking. Nicotine is a serious demon that I've found hard to shake. It lurks, playing tricks on my brain. If you can banish ol' Nic you can do anything.

    As for flabby magick muscles - totally agree - when I cut down on mind gymnastics it takes a while to get back into shape again.

    But there's no need to punish yourself. I always remember the mantra "It is, so what". When my mind wanders off from its visualisation 9or whatever), I just put it back on track with no hard feelings. It's these hard feelings that interfer with my magical practice more than the wandering.
