earch and interviewing hundreds who live successfully via divine nutrition, my one conclusion is that it is our vibration that determines our success with this, nothing more, nothing less. our vibration allows us to draw this nutrition from the inner planes and back through our cellular structure, if this is our intention. it also allows us to attract increased doses of both internal and external chi, for prana. in the form of cosmic fire and astral light. which are the main elements sustaining all life particles. things like a pure heart, the ability to serve with compassion and kindness, the openness to the higher laws and to using our higher mind, all these tune us powerfully to the channels that can reveal our paranormal powers, of which this ability is just a small by-product. questio

g the concept and study of this process is fully made manifest in the process of vampirism and the absorbing of energy. qi is the far eastern concept of spiritual life force, or energy. this word is commonly referred to or related to the word air which can mean astral energy as well. one of the earliest mentioning of qi is in the analects of confucius composed around 479 b.c. the concept of qi or chi is indeed lifebreath, the essence of life itself. in the practice of yoga, specifically, ahrimanic yoga, the luciferian controls the flow of lifebreath throughout their body, growing stronger from refining the flow of this energy through the different chakras. while qi can be controlled, it is a part of the universe and thus may be absorbed and used magickally. 12 qi was written about by the c

great authority. revelations the beast or dragon, much like the assyrian tiamat of old, can represent the luciferian who has mastered the aspects of ahrimanic yoga, that is the power of the demons of the flesh and mind. the control of demons in the body relate to the chakra points which can be focused to heighten individual mind and body power. this can be affected by astral energy life energy or chi as it is called. the sea is a source of evil as all is up to the taking reality can be shaped by dreams. think about that sentence carefully. what you think can be done today can be made reality tomorrow. let s consider the focus phrase of the black order of the dragon: 23 the words of the dragon tiamat i am that which you hide away from others i am the eye which seduces all within its gaze. i

iferian should approach life in a positive and productive way. control of emotions is essential in any successful magical practice. with the psychological and otherwise possible dangers in the luciferian path, it is important to have the control approach to the actual practice. a good place to start is ahrimanic yoga as described in liber hvhi. the chakras are important in channeling and focusing chi and the associations of the archdaevas therein. to start with taromati, moving upward through the spine will certainly activate a sense of calm and empowerment in the sorcerer. this will give a feeling of rising and elevation as you move up to each additional chakra. the luciferian who visualizes the twin serpents coil upward around the spine, out of the shoulders and the connection to akoman
