new here- questions/LBRP

[WalkerInTheWoods]

Welcome, Ari! I am sorry but I do not know anything about LBRP, but I think we can all understand where you are coming from in looking for your path. If magic is your interest then be sure to look in the Magic section of the forum.

None of us like what we find unpleasurable in our lives, but it is through the "negative" things that we can learn and grow a considerable amount. If it aids us on our path, is it truly a negative thing?

I hope you enjoy the forums.

Hello everyone...

I'm mostly seeking advice here, being new to the forum. Finding a place this active online is really wonderful.

I have friends who could help me with the issues I'm going through, but I have reason to think there is bias it what they have to see and seek an outside opinion.

I've been meditating on/off and studying the metaphysical end of things for the last 5-6 years or so. I'm pretty young(18), and quite naive. I know I need help and have to do more research and reading.

I've had my share of odd experiences...am currently astrally bonded to my boyfriend of one month. Seemingly out of control, we lucid dream of each other, on a semi-regular basis, and there's electricity almost- when we touch. It's been a little crazy, with ups and downs.

He's been scryed with a lightning bolt symbol by a friend of ours, so has no choice but to follow the path he's on. Currently, this friend has reappeared in our lives. He only shows up when he's needed, and is very apt at reading others...a master of his area. I am going to talk to him again one day.

I, on the other hand, can still go in any direction. Right now, I know I'm not ready for things like the LBRP(lesser banishing ritual of the pentagram), although I've already studied some of it, and performed it once last april.

I'm most interested in the concequences/results of the LBRP. Since I did it that one time, a lot has happened. I got into a car accident, totaling my car.(Lucky I live on campus at the college I go to) I was magnitized, by what felt very much by forces out of my control to my current boyfriend, who is more of a partner than anything else, but has acted as a distraction lately. These forces are something we've both felt. When we first connected- he could hear and see everything I was doing apart from him for a few days on end. Moving on, I stopped being a part of my father/brother's lives when they are together. My parents are split up, my brother and dad don't get along- much like I didn't get along with my father at my brother's age(12). I realized for the first time it's not my battle anymore, and I won't have anything to do with the two of them together till they compromise. I'm closer to my mother. I changed my major from psych to education/art. I've changed alot- noticably among my friends.

I only did it once, and not to my full capacity, I can't help but be nervous to do it again. I know ritual magick is my path. The main reason I can't start on LBRP(which is the basis for doing anything else)...is the results from a tarot reading I did last night. The fool, reversed...and a 5swords as final outcomes. Right now, if I keep doing ritual the way I have- starting LBRP would create a lot more changes I don't know if I can handle right now. I don't get enough sleep, don't study enough. The negative influences of that would be destroyed. I have to regain focus, or it will be my ruin.

LBRP, I know- allows you to know yourself better, expands your aura as well. A friend of mine, before I knew him did the LBRP for seven months or so, dedicated every day, with the intention of changing his life. He was living far from home at the time. He got what he put in- his life changed, certainly. His girlfriend broke up with him, he lost his job, and his apartment. What freaked him out enough to go back home was the moment his mother called him. These were all negative influences in his life, the forces involved pushed him in the direction he should be going in by pulling him out of the direction he shouldn't be going. He's working again now, writing a book, getting his life together and planning to go to college one day.

I'd like to know what you guys here think of all this, the LBRP. I couldn't be happier to be here. Tarot/I-ching is really helping point out what directions are right and what I have to fix in my life before I start LBRP. If I don't abolish negative influences in my life, I know once I start LBRP- the forces involved will take over.

And I'm sure everyone has some amount of bias in terms of what they think is a negative influence in their life. I'm scared out of my mind with so many changed, but I'm trying to take it one step at a time.
