Why not formulate thoughtforms with personal significance?

Like for me, a viable knowledge based thoughtform would be a book with words spilling out of it like water.

I connect more with creatures as opposed to objects.

Also, when I have time I'm seriously going to read more into your internalisation thread. I need to work on how I internalise and channel my invoked thoughtforms.

Also, have you seen Moment of Truth yet? I think it's about halfway through S1--Merlin, Arthur, Morgana, and Gwen go to Merlin's home village, and they ALL, even Morgana and Gwen, get to be totally badass. Probably my favourite episode. <3

Not yet (and I plan on watching merlin AGAIN when they air it on NBC this summer). I just finished the episode with the druids when I decided the work week was just too much and went to bed.

Also SQUEEE, I got a free dreamwidth code. OMG!

So make up some creatures?

Combine bodily forms that fit the needs of the thoughtform. Perhaps for a toughening thoughtform that acts in a defensive manner you choose a giant turtle with an stone or iron shell and symbols of protection on it.

I've found that many of the energy channeling techniques I use are also exceptionally helpful for standard psychodrama and self adjustment to better handle situations.

I actually managed to adjust my body temperature to warm up a partner by using those techniques. Nothing magical about that, just mind over matter with a very effective means of psychodrama.

I am going to England for two weeks on Tuesday night. Mainly because one of my uncles had a heart attack and passed away, but my parents can't take time off, so I get to represent. The second week is literally my vacation time, but it sucks since none of my cousins are off. sweatdrop

I'm sorry to hear about your uncle sad
But I hope you enjoy visiting England.

I'm starting to seriously consider doing a bit of research on owls, just so I can identify what species the owls I keep seeing 'round here are. AND I DON'T EVEN LIKE BIRDS. sweatdrop

Okay, so I'm looking to make a moving out and leaving home playlist. Upbeat, songs about going out on my own, a little bittersweet is okay, but mostly hopeful--think "Wide Open Spaces" by the Dixie Chicks or "Born to Fly" by Sara Evans. Anyone have any suggestions? sweatdrop

I personally like The Islander by Nightwish, but everyone tells me it is a sad rather than triumphant song.
I suppose I am odd.

I envy you not.
Best of fortune in representing your family. 3nodding

Does anyone know what the relevant rules are for male circumcision & Jewish covenants? We're talking about genital mutilation in class and the professor is discussing male circumcision, and just dismissed Jewish religious concerns as ridiculous. So I was wondering whether male circumcision in a Jewish context needed to be performed at birth or whether there was another age that was specified or if it's unspecified.

I liked it the first time I heard it, which was when the album was released ninja

Supposedly my local Walmart played it once (no pun intended).

Sounds like a plan. After researching angels, I don't know that it would be proper of me to incorporate one of them into my practice. From what I saw, they seemed to be sent by YHVH and servants of him. Considering I'm an oathbreaker with a somewhat tenuous relationship with Him, it might not be the best idea. Also highly misappropriating to do.

You're going to have to teach me sometime. I understand that for now both of us are very busy, but mayhaps sometime over summer break or such?

I'm pretty sure it's a few days after birth. I also think the circumcision is different from medical ones. Less skin is removed.

I was bitching about how the new Nightwish vocalist is subpar compared to the old one and that I wouldn't get the same enjoyment out of the band now. So one of my friends who was still into them gave me a link to the song on youtube.

I was very impressed and starting listening to other stuff from Dark Passion Play soon after.
