The Power of Occult 'Seeing'

1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,200
There is a long tradition and
history of individuals who have

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,480
utilized a variety of methods
for the purpose of obtaining

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:11,680
visions of events past, present,
or future.

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,760
The action generally takes place
through creation of a state of

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:20,160
trance that allows the surface
mental consciousness to recede

6
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,960
and the wider subliminal
consciousness to emerge.

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,360
Some individuals have been able
to achieve this state of what

8
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,000
may be considered to be a light
trance through practice of

9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,720
meditation, while others use the
aid of a technique such as

10
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:42,480
staring at a candle or use of a
crystal ball, mirror or basin of

11
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:45,720
water.
The actuality of this power of a

12
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:50,000
cult seeing is described in a
considerable body of fiction.

13
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,120
For this reason, many consider
it to be purely fictional.

14
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,880
JRR Tolkien, in his widely
respected telling of The Lord of

15
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:03,800
the Rings, has a sequence where
the Elf Queen Galadriel

16
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,520
introduces the hero of the tale,
Frodo The Hobbit, to what she

17
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:14,440
calls the Mirror of Galadriel,
in this case, a basin of water

18
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,560
with a mirrored effect.
As Frodo gazed into the water,

19
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,560
he had various visions.
Galadriel noted that he might

20
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:27,800
see things from the past, the
present, the future, or even

21
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,920
things that were possibilities
but might not come to pass if

22
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:37,640
appropriate actions were taken.
Nostradamus, perhaps the most

23
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,120
famous Western prognosticator of
future events, claimed to use a

24
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,600
form of meditation to enter into
the trance state required for

25
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,600
his visions.
The ancient Greek tradition has

26
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,440
numerous references to the
Oracle of Delphi.

27
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,400
Individuals went to consult the
Oracle to obtain guidance and

28
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:02,360
illumination of various dreams,
events, or circumstances they

29
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,480
were facing.
Tibetan practitioners also had

30
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,919
an Oracle who entered into a
state of trance to

31
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,520
prognosticate.
First Nations people in North

32
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,400
America had the tradition of the
vision quest where they went out

33
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,760
to an isolated location and
fasted in order to obtain their

34
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,920
vision.
South American shaman in some

35
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:28,240
cases enlisted the aid of
various herbal medicines to

36
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,960
enter an altered state of
awareness and thus see things

37
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,640
that their normal mental sight
could not see.

38
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,560
Popular literature is rampant
with tales of what is known as

39
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,480
scrying using a variety of
methods.

40
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,600
If we analyze the methods, they
all lead towards the development

41
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,880
of a state of awareness that
suppresses the active surface

42
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:56,680
mentality and allows a wider
action to emerge that appears to

43
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,800
allow the individual to enter
into the Akashic record and

44
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,440
bring back transcriptions,
either more or less legible, of

45
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,680
things seen there.
What we do not always understand

46
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,720
is that many instances of such a
cult seeing are simply not

47
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,800
recognized as such due to the
rather mundane nature of the

48
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,800
events foreseen.
Yet many people will relate

49
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,440
tales of how they saw their
future spouse or some future

50
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,720
event or opportunity.
A cult seeing is not always

51
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,080
dramatic or tied to earth
shaking events.

52
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,680
What takes more effort and
patience is turning the

53
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,040
occasional insight into
something that is consistent and

54
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,400
part of one's active life
experience as a normal

55
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,400
occurrence.
Shrioro Bindu observes quote.

56
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,640
The power of occult seeing is
there in everyone, mostly

57
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:58,840
latent, often near the surface,
but sometimes much more rarely

58
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:04,080
already on the surface.
If one practices trotuck, it is

59
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,600
pretty certain to come out
sooner or later, though some

60
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,120
have a difficulty, and with them
it takes time.

61
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,840
Those in whom it comes out at
once have had all the time this

62
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:20,240
power of occult vision near the
surface, and it emerges at the

63
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,640
first pressure.
