By a guy, who says, "I am a Thelemite and ritual magician who has been practicing for more than 25 years. I have a degree in experimental psychology from Saint Olaf College, a well-regarded Lutheran school that has a surprisingly good collection of Aleister Crowley's work, and have been involved in Ordo Templi Orientis since 1995 and Masonry since 1997. In the mundane world, I have worked as a software developer since 1992."
First thing I see, looks like he thinks meditation is simple and right-there-already for you. Instead of having to pay out big bucks to get started What follows is a quote:
- Sit comfortably with your spine straight. Cross-legged is fine, Lotus is better if you can do it - but don't wreck your knees.
- Pick a mantra, a simple sound that you can repeat over and over again. The classic "AUM" will work fine for this.
- Close your eyes and begin repeating the mantra.
- Do this for twenty minutes every day.
That's a refreshing approach (getting back to me, end of his quote).
I see magick, witchcraft, Llelwellyn stuff, Beliefnet, Thelema (hate to say, I've heard of that but have no idea what it is,) Kabbalah, mysticism.
