Ep68: Magick, The Occult, & Summoning Demons - Daniel Ingram

[@KarmaTSVb]

I’m a tantric Buddhist yogi in the Anuyoga stage, with training under a powerful “white” magician in hermetic science and magick. Having read some of Bailey and others-before I had a chance to delve deeply into them, started experiencing all sorts of visions, closed-eyed and open-eyed, deep into my ngondro sadhana practice, along with Mahamudra shamatha and vipassana practice. The magick I witnessed was infinitely greater than the dark, low-vibrational, lower astral beings that would follow. I needed answers that traditional Buddhism didn’t offer. I started hearing animals. Insects started speaking to me. Spirits did too. They became domineering and at the same time, helpful when teachers would work through these spirits to help them communicate with me in a beneficial manner. The experiences created deep experiences of death and compassion, but also disgust, fear, paranoia, confusion, existential chaos, in other words. Just wished to share my experiences too.

[@bpolovich9398]

Please, go into more detail on experiences you feel comfortable sharing thoroughly. If willing

[@KarmaTSVb]

@@bpolovich9398 Sure. Many of the things Daniel described in the interview regarding magick battles on the astral plane are accurate and very similar to mine and my group of white magicians (good ones). Dark Brotherhood, as we call them, are behind much of the dark magick and Satanic practices today. They use thought projections, form projections, and dream manipulation to distract the good magicians. These include: seeing mean ghosts/spirits, speaking with them on a conversational basis, horrifying dreams, amorphous entities that look like half-animal/half-human, aliens, reverted regressive logic, demons speaking with me, taunting me, using friendly words to get me to let my guard down, distortions of the truth, flying in front of me, threatening to haunt my dreams, putting family members against each other through thought suggestion when other methods don’t work, using children’s voices to disguise themselves, saying very chilling things that would make your soul shutter (one time, recently, a demon showed itself in a vision and it was curled up on a corner, the size of a small child no more than 2-feet tall, black, hideous, disturbing-think of The Exorcist-that’s how they sound, while sweating and cursing and using the most disgusting language and insults to lure you into a fight, threatening telepathically verbally family members, especially my daughter). Another instance is where a shaman conjured up local North American Native spirits from my dad’s woods, where they would keep me up all night for days, pretending to invite themselves in as family, only to mess with my head, gain vital information about me, my family, and the shaman controlling them would vicariously work through them and speak to me; one time, they told me that if I don’t leave their land, their demon will kill me, in which he ran straight through my chest as a black energy and I felt pain and fell unconscious (they did this four times, each time, I wound up on the ground unconscious). They would tell me that my vaporizer was a black magic tool and tell me to show them my hands and to take the vaporizer out of my “back pocket”. Another time, Jinn came and spoke with me and told me that not all of them are bad, but only some of them are angry. They said that they are like people but strong, but don’t like that they were cursed by Allah, and they don’t like being alive, but are reticent to engage with humans because we scare them and make them angry. They say their job is to clean up messes and so they are found in remote places and very messy buildings. They asked me to bury a Islamic religious object I had on me and I did and they went away to Saudi Arabia…another time a Viking warlord demigod and his puppet cling-on genii Mandy would attack me, control me, try to seduce me romantically, and many other dark tactics. I fought with him and casted him off my land and house for good. All these things are illusory magical beings that do t actually exist. Fighting includes suits of armpit, riding dragons, projecting yourself as very tall, wands of fire, electricity, and light rays for specific purposes, as well as many other tactics to defend yourself or go on the offensive, as Daniel says. It’s like fantasy land where anything is possible.

Daniel is my dharma brother, so it's great to hear him go into more detail on his magickal practices and especially in the context of the insight stages. I had the pleasure of joining him for a few days on the "Fire Kasina Retreat" here in Scotland, and we had some great conversations about this stuff. By the way, I recommended your interview with Ian Baker to someone on the Dharma Overground who was asking about Tibetan practices, and also bought Ian's book based on your interview. Outstanding work as always!

Your whole dream battle saga highlights why these arts should be shrouded in an ethical tradition and framework such as the Buddha dharma, with its ahimsa and bodhicitta, etc. where one fist kills one's own ego and cultivates the strong motivation to abandon harming and always only work to benefit others. Your Fantasia warlock battles are heavy karmic drains and minefields dangerous to confused and selfish transmigrators, sending them to the hells and depriving them of perfect human rebirths for countless eons. You point to some of that yourself but also should acknowledge plainly that you yourself choose to create and strengthen monsters among us. Thanks for that, doctor.

If your looking to fight you'll always stay in the astral planes and never reach the mental planes. On the mental planes you can only defend not attack. Once you build up your abilities if you abuse or misuse them you'll lose the ability and go back to the astrals. The astral is a trap. The lower astral is known as hell. The upper astral known as heaven. You want to go past there to the mental planes which has several levels.

[@HeidiRausch-r1y]

I've recently had to think about the breakers of taboos, and the implications. Regarding the spiritual consequences of these violations, I'm of the opinion that one's spirit follows one's actions in life. Chaos, it seems, is the spirit born of breaking taboos. In my youth, l was more lenient towards sinners. Now, having realized that setting boundaries is crucial for my own physical and mental health, I'm more intolerant , even to the point of drawing a line in the sand.

As a LHP the triangles, circles and rituals are not in my experience necessary to deal with so called demonic entities. What is necessary is a real and completely focused desire to contact and commune with these entities. Even then if you are not destined or "chosen" to interact with these entities you will most likely experience every little success. If demonic magick is gonna work for you it will most likely work without much effort or adherence to traditional evocation/invocation techniques cause they where waiting for you to commune with them - you are as I am a member of their kingdom. Great presentation guys thank you for posting

[@CallMeJamezCuzDatzAGiantPeach]

Definitely agree, in some demonolatry books I've read actually going in with protective circles and the like can make the entity feel disrespected. Which gives it more reason to produce a negative experience either then or later at unspecified time and date.You are trying to build a rapport of mutual respect and understanding not build relationship based on disrespect, submission and protection of retaliation there of. Even as humans we know that any relationship or mentorship built on those elements will cause negative outcomes.

​@@CallMeJamezCuzDatzAGiantPeachthat's interesting, thanks for sharing

[@KarmaTSVb]

Cultivate compassion and work respectively with spirits of all kinds and they will respect the light, or at least see that you are powerful and peaceful and they will generally listen to you and answer your questions if you politely speak with them as if they were physically embodied. They taught me books worth of knowledge of the intermediate state simply through this method. Belief, faith, intention, willpower, and passion have been the most helpful practices, along with Buddhist foundations in tantric practices. But all of these traditional invocational methods were not successful unless you had that karma you shared with these beings. If you don’t share karma on a direct level, it’s difficult to say if any invocation will work.

[@KarmaTSVb]

If you don’t disrespect their space and time, and politely ask them with confidence, they will gladly or reluctantly help. This is ethically fine if it is for compassionate purposes.

[@margheritapagni]

tantra includes some ' magical' aspects at energetic level. Not all Buddhist practitioners -especially theravadins- have an affinity for this and some repudiate it. Personally, I am open and receptive to it, but i believe it requires caution, i dont know Ingram work and i cant assess how valuable his contribution is. As to his claim he is an arhat, I am somewhat doubtful, based on the quality of his presence and speech, which is typical intellectual with some scientific background (and i dont mean this in a derogatory way), a little agitated, and focused on ideas and experiences---he does not communicate wisdom nor offers anything that nourishes the heart and spirit. He still might have meditative accomplishments, but he is a little worked up, and so far i have not heard him communicate anything useful or profound from a spiritual standpoint. he does not strike me as manipulative nor a liar, he may believe his claims.

[@axilleaskazuya5370]

Yeah this is very refreshing, especially from a atained practitioner of vipassana , usually its its avoided because suble body perception , or the transactionality withing its textural domain still is regarded a conditional state wich can be very colorful or trippy and thus more seductive even than our gross cavings and aversions.

[@urgenlama7302]

Once , some disciple of Buddha claimed themselves to be "Arhant" , when asked about it , Buddha called those disciple and said that they haven't yet achieved the state of "Arhanthood" and told them to practice more. These stages in Buddhism are only given by previous generation masters who have already achieve these stages , in Buddhism self claimed enlightenment is not valid.

[@neurohydraulics8713]

The specifics of getting past invocation or magick as a necessary tool (for those on a "wrathful" or "accelerated" path) is that you now have enough skill and experience at "belief" absorption to know that "simply" residing in your central channel and dissolving into emptiness will get any job done. Proper non magical practice has the extraordinary benefit of blending into society, the actual cessation of karma (they will teach you this technique only once you stop) and even physical, robust health if you learn it under specific Taoist supervision. Absorption without having emptiness as the default skill under pressure leads to terrible problems (in fact THE terrible problem in practice by all accounts) of "psychic addiction", the root cause of one slowly over lifetimes becoming a "demon", you won't even be able to see the havoc you create all around you as your psychic perception jumps from one thing to the next. Another way of putting it is that if have to "go out" for some purpose, you do not understand what pain is or how to deal with it skillfully. I used to be well down this road until I got it, it is very important that you do either get "cancelled" or better yet find a good teacher.

[@neurohydraulics8713]

Should read "belief" or absorption. The fact is that if you are still turning energetic experience into visual data you are in deep shit.

[@peacelovebrad]

wow, he's describing so much of my own experience in dreams that it's giving me chills. I am really fast running on all fours in my dreams, lol.

Since I was 4 I was able to project. The fact that he's saying magic and seeing it from that point of view gives me a different perspective. He's putting words to the feelings I have. All he had to do was say magic!! Magic felt mocking in a way, but it's the connection between my "bound" mind and hesitant feelings.

[@andrewsomerville5772]

I have been using a Transcranial Direct Current device of my own making for about six years. It certainly has boosted my cognitive abilities. I use a basic small volume control to address controlling the intensity. As a side note, I would add that it seems to actually help with manifesting things. In other words, they say that your thoughts have power. In my case, I give more power to my thoughts. Whether it's related to the documented effect that thoughts seem to have at the Quantum level of reality or not, my attainment of things that I want to bring into my life seems to be related to the use of TCDS. Consider that possibility. Prayer, meditation, etc. all brought up to another level with the addition of more power...So, be careful what you wish for.

[@PeterKoperdan]

Have you considered that TDC might have a placebo effect on you?

[@davidjones8043]

What makes a placebo effect somehow invalid in any way whatsoever ? EVERYTHING that works is due to placebo effect. And how does the mind just increase its own operating capacity by placebo in the first place? The question misses the mark entirely

[@PeterKoperdan]

@@davidjones8043 It's about TCDS having a definite real and reproducible effect related to how your brain functions vs. simply a placebo effect not related to particular neurobiological processes but a simple belief. If it's just a belief based placebo effect, you don't need to faff around with TDCS. You can find other enablers of your belief and related desired effects. My original comment wasn't worded in the best way. I think I should have said imaginary effect rather than placebo effect. You want to believe something so you imagine it exists, but it really doesn't. In the OP's case he could be simply imagining things that aren't simply there. Manifesting is a particularly hard phenomenon to pin down accurately. Things happen in your life. Why? Billion interconnected reasons. It is pretty easy to see imaginary reasons - like a face in the clouds the isn't really there, but we give it meaning. You are into manifesting and TDCS? Easy to imagine that it gives you "powers".

[@HansenFT]

@@PeterKoperdan transcranial direct current stimulation is a western scientific concept though. With scientific legs to stand on. They even have a similar concept, only with an extremely powerfull magnet, in scientific labs. According to researchers they can place f.x someone with zero artistic talent in the lab, that can only draw stick figures. When they stimulate the the brain with the magnet the person can all of a sudden draw many, many times better. On the spot. And btw, I'm totally agnostic with regards to paranormal phenomenon like manifesting. Tcds can certanly change the frequency of a persons brainwaves, similar to binaural beats etc. It has research behind it.

Can metta be a Kasina practice? I wonder...

Kasinas typically only refer to external objects, as far as I know. If you want a great practice using metta, I can't recommend enough that you practice the Four Immeasurables and also tonglen. Immensely powerful and beneficial practices.

[@bdw690]

No, the word refers to the external support for concentration. Kasina meditations use wholesome objects with a prominent quality, such as blue. One chooses a suitably sized blue object and observes the blueness. One should set up three of these kasinas along a path and thereby practice sitting and walking meditation observing the kasinas.

Describe what you want and what you will give as an offering in exchange. I offer drops of blood or public praise for a complex project. For a small project I offer shots of alcohol. Fireball whiskey and red wine are my go tos. You place them on the petition one at a time and exchange them out everyday until you've given the amount you've said. Astaroth has never let me down as long as I've given offerings.

What?! Is this for real or what? Seems out of a fantasy wizard's novel.

[@isabelsmith7638]

That sounds terrifying daniel. Lol The crystal crabs and mushrooms.

It's almost impossible for the western mind to grasp these esoteric practices. Him talking about "proof of concept" when trying all these different practices let's me know hes going into with reservations and generally that "scientific theory" approach does not work in the world of esoteric practices. I hope he's able to find what he's looking for. Once you realize that the spirit world is not the physical world you'll have a much more fulfilling spiritual life. Just don't go into it expecting to prove or disprove a spiritual practice. Not all humans are the same something that works for you now might not work for you at an adept level. It would be like a baseball player going to a basketball court and telling everyone they're doing it wrong.... no you're looking at it wrong. As far as "The Great Work" yes , waking up is part of it but it's more than just the knowledge... it's knowledge plus action that is the Great Work. It's aligning your freewill with the divine Will of creation. Love is the Law, Love under Will. Love is the foundation. Crowley fell off the path but his description is still valid. No one is perfect.

Everything in my logical, empirical, rational mind is screaming that this is VERY fishy and that I have every reason to be extremely skeptical of this guys claims.

[@meggysaurusrex]

I'm enlightened and my dog is enlightened too - Bark!

[@DawnHub666]

This guy isnt convincing.

[@saucyjk6453]

At all. I've seen some charlatan guides with ulterior motives, but this guy has really fooled alot of people.

[@megamanzx2]

30:04 this dude thinks he’s doing magick but he’s just disassociating

[@Raimonds-x1j]

No I won’t why because hope fails it’s systems fault not hopes fault

[@jr8209]

No commenters here taking the view that Magick is a repulsive term.

[@bandido-ux6qq]

I WOULD LOVE TO SIT DOWN WITH A GUY LKE THIS DIDNT SKIRT THE SUBJECT . UNTIL THEN JUWT LISTEN TP BULLSHIT

[@JP-mn5iv]

Pretty sure you loose the right to bring Jesus into the discussion the second you decided it was ok to commune with demons. Oh and just curious, how narcissistic do you actually have to be in order to think you have transformed a demons malevolent behavior into benevolent behavior. If demons were good, they by definition wouldn’t be called demons…. Daaaaa. 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️😂😂😂

[@blackswangothika8920]

Have you even looked up what demon means?? I’ll wait.

[@JP-mn5iv]

@@blackswangothika8920 I’m not a idiot of course I have….. not all things that inspire are of a good nature. Inspiration and mania have a fine line of distinction. I wonder why that is….. why are so many genius’s seen as crazy?? Why are so many artists afflicted with mental illness which then inspires their art?? Ya know in the old days the gods not only gave divine inspiration but also inflicted people with arrows of disease….. fine line between a god and a demon….. I’m not sure either of which give a damn for folks like you or me. The more I learn about religion the more I think both sides have been used in a giant game of chess. That includes anyone who follows mainstream Christianity. There is a reason Jesus didn’t start a church…. Peter and Paul did. I don’t follow church doctrine. I know right from wrong. I’m Norwegian and followed a pagan path for quite a while. I’m not condemning anyone for their beliefs….. I’m just saying don’t let those beliefs corrupt your moral compass by justifying evil acts in the name of one side or the other. Jesus didn’t tell us to pick a side but to walk a narrow path…. A fine line….. so your moral compass is not corrupted by beliefs. God bless.

[@JP-mn5iv]

Both pagan and Christian beliefs condoned some pretty atrocious things…. Why do you think they meshed so well together?? I’m a peaceful man by nature…. That does not mean I am a pacifist but I try to turn from violence whenever possible. I really try not to let my beliefs justify wicked behavior. I do not justify the means by which I get my ends. I use the moral compass that God gave me and I suggest you do the same. We all know right from wrong. We know it instinctively from a very young age but as we grow older this world has a way of beating the truth right out of us. Don’t let the world beat the truth out of you. This world rewards the wicked and punishes the righteous. Don’t get it fucked up. It’s a test that takes a lot of endurance and faith to pass. 😎🙏

[@ezeeproproperties8352]

Let me get this straight. You, whose powers of discernment are so feeble that you can't even tell the difference between dream-state and waking-state, are going to tell us what a demon is? First off, tell me who Jesus is. And then tell me what demons are. And to think that malevolent beings can't become benevolent is delusional. If you think change isn't happening from moment to moment, then you've simply failed to pay any attention.

[@nothinghere1996]

big mistake. it leads to death because it conceals the correct way out.

[@musasiziannet6015]

Isaiah55:6&7,"Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near.Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts.Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon." Repent, receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior today.This is God's invitation for redemption, Jesus loves you so much and he is the only WAY to eternity.God bless you

[@jakobpedersen1904]

All is just pure occultism - stay away from these topics - Christ is the Way, the Truth and the life - no one comes to the Father execpt through the Son....💪✝

worthless total waste of my time

[@Thelastetherborn]

I’ll save yall some time. You can’t summon demons. It would be super cool if you could but, after many, and I mean many attempts to summon a demon, it never happened. Lots of dead chickens, frogs, and rats. Lots of circles and shapes and it turns out. THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS MAGIC

[@starofsiam1]

There’s a four letter word and you are full of it
