This was originally a letter that I wrote for a friend. It details a method of Retroactive Enchantment. I left some of it untouched but it conveyed extras that pertained at the time. Tomorrow, I'll write this all into a couple paragraph thing; conveying the no fuss no muss method. A lot of this was written for their particular needs and therefore may be useless to most of us (I wrote this assuming they knew next to nothing but they were quite talented so...). In other words, there's a lot of fat to trim from this baby. I gave hints that might speed it all up as well. Once the bullshit is cut, one may find that the actual technique takes A LOT LESS time to perform (No Time at all, really. No Foolies) than it did to read all this. If you prefer, Just follow the cliff note like checklist at the end of this mess. But, as promised:
TEMPORAL TEMPURA
The FIRST thing you'll need, is an idea of what you wish to convey to yourself at an earlier stage in your life. For ease, I suggest devising a sigil that contains all of the meaning and power of your desired end. Or...
There are other options like creating a globe of energy that you fill with your Intent and Insight but we'll get to that. There are a couple/few other methods for achieving this but I find this and all that goes with it, to be the MOST EFFECTIVE as there are other Temporal Flux techniques hidden within...
Anyway... How familiar are you with the techniques of "High Magick" from a Golden Dawn perspective? Not that it matters really. Sometimes, works of the nature that I'm going to reveal, are helped along by such rigorous preparation. To begin this operation, I strongly suggest that you clear the space from which you will be working. Physically as well as psychically. Once placing a strong barrier of protection (Banishing rituals and generally anything you got), it's time to open the Gates. For this, I personally work the Supreme Invokation Ritual of the Pentagram. With additional Calls at each quarter, one tends to get the elements to flow strongly into the workspace. Next, Create a Vortex. If you're good with GD type Work, don't bother and just do the Opening by the Watchtower as the Vortex is worked into this. If not, it doesn't matter because I've posted something about this and methods for doing so. For ease of reference, I'm going to copy this here: No, I'm not. Go find my thread "Like A Record Baby" as that's what is in this chunk of the original body...
Read the article? Good. Back to the contents of the letter...
You've probably read that before, huh? Anyway, Once you have Rended the Veil and stepped through, the Work of Retrocausality may begin. Are you familiar with the Circulation of the Body of Light technique? I'll bet this is making you nuts... Everytime I'm about to explain something, there's some prerequisite that bears explanation... Anyway, in case you're not familiar, I'm going to explain it. Then you'll go "Oh! I knew that already" and move on...
Circulation of the Body of Light
Now, the Ceremonialists out there will tell you to do the Middle Pillar exercise first. I'll shorten that and say that you should Light up your energetic body. Especially the centreline (Chakras). This is because you're going to involve the Whole Self in the final Work. So, Yeah... Don't skip this.
Once you've lit yourself up:
1)Breath control is important here. Establish The Breath, as you will synchronize it to the energetic circulation. A lot of people find themselves moving their eyes with the Motion of the light. Don't. Stare straight ahead or close your eyes all together.
At the Crown Chakra (Which may light up a little above the head and that's ok) See this light brighten as ten thousand suns.
As you Exhale, Move this light DOWN your left side. Feel this motion. See the light pass on to a little below your left foot.
On your Inhalation, allow the light to move up your right side; continuing until it reaches the starting point. You may wish to do this several times. Try starting the motion close to your body (Say, only circulating around the spine.) and moving in wider arcs as you go; until you're moving the chi around the entire breadth of the Universe. Thin spread I know but you'll see why...
2)Again starting at the Crown, move the energy Down (With the exhalation, of course) the centreline of the FRONT of your body. Feel and see the light push down and on inhalation, move the light up the centre of the back until reaching the top. Again, you may wish to extend this from very close to encompassing the Universe at large.
3)Here, you will start at the feet. Opon Inhalation, move the light in a counterclockwise circle around your body. As it circles, it should spiral upward (You may choose to think of this as being wrapped like a Mummy. Except as the mummy is wrapped in cloth, you will be wrapped in energy). Now once the spiral of energy has reach the Crown: Cause it to explode, up and out, in a sphere around you; as you exhale. See this spiritual, glittering, Lifeforce shower the area and again pool at your feet. Like the other two portions, you may adjust the breadth of this from close to all encompassing.
FOR YOUR PURPOSES: Once you have the energy flowing, you should DO ALL THREE AT ONCE. You may do this cumulatively, if you choose ie. as you progress from step one, continue that and do step two and then continue those into three and just keep doing all three. Most find this easier than just doing all three simultaneously from the start. Since I'm sure that you already know this... Well, let's move on...
BACK TO YOUR irREGULARLY SCHEDULED TEMPORAL DISTORTION:
OK... Here we go yo! Now that you're in your space and opened the Gates and Circulation the Chi... You're going to EXPAND your awareness; To not only include your surroundings, but the whole curvature of the Earth. Remember the article I reprinted here? The end of that, is MEGA Important here. See yourself in relation to the centre of the earth. Feel yourself riding the earth and See it's relation to the spin of the Sun, Moon, other planets, the Galactic Swirl... Instead of feeling yourself riding the curvature, you may wish to see yourself as stationary; further separating yourself from normal temporal flow. You might want to experiment or question yourself as to which will work best for you. While remaining stationary runs a HIGH RISK of leaving you displaced regardless of what you do, it also runs a high probability of instant result. Both are effective views, just be careful!
Now, you are all tuned in to the great motion and rhythm of the world. Guess what? Reverse it! That's right, all that Circulatory visualizations and energetic work must now begin to work in reverse. That's right, reverse the circulations. You must keep concentration on all of these facets at once. Obviously, You will see things like the sun roll back and "set" in the East and all that. The Earth reversing it's spin will do that, you know...
Speed your breathing gently. See the days Roll Back in faster and faster succession.
Ever see the film Superman? Remember when he flies around the globe in reverse of normal spin and he does it so fast that he turns back time by causing the earth to rotate backward? You may choose to see it kind of like that.
Continue this almost "Time Machine" (Ah! H.G. Wells, provides a good analogy too) exercise until you have reached a time, at least half your current age. Now, there are times that seem most significant to each person. You may wish to push this as far back as you are able to remember. Yes... This is probably best and easiest for your purposes. Although, if you're feeling especially daring, you may attempt to continue on back PAST this life and into past incarnations. That might be a bit much though. Baby steps...
Anyhoo... There are things you should consider. Where you were living at the time you choose to visit yourself. What was going on at the time. At what times would you have been alone and had strange things happen to you. When you reach the point that you wish to pay yourself a visit, See yourself walking up to the younger you. From here, you may wish to do any of several things. If you have devised a sigil, containing all you wish to convey, you may choose to "burn" or otherwise trace the sigil onto your younger self. Draw it on the forehead or heart, or on each energetic point. Infuse them (You) with the Power and Wisdom and Knowledge of EVERYTHING THAT YOU CURRENTLY ARE. Everything... Or, you may present yourself with a symbolic gift. Or (Lot's of choices, huh?) you may actually have a sit-down with yourself and tell them EVERYTHING.
Teach, mentor, instruct, advise and generally pass on the sum of everything you know. You might want to write yourself a letter and present it to the younger you. This is a pretty good way to go. Don't be freaked out if you later find the paper and it's aged appropriately! At times, your memories of past events will be along the lines of "I saw it coming" and "I had all kinds of coincidences around then" or "That was one of the wyldest times of my life". You know... Whatever you do, DON'T BE FREAKED OUT BY ANYTHING THAT COMES AS A RESULT! You'll wind up shocking yourself and the mental paradox could really spin you bad...
It's possible to wipe yourself out of existence (Totally "It's a Wonderful Life" style but without Angels {maybe} and definitely without the "Merry Fucking Christmas" ending). Not kidding or exaggerating here. It's one of several risks to include leaving yourself just a little phased out of normal time flow. Obviously, it's not likely but who knows? OK... Just kidding but you could make yourself into mental tofu, fucking around with various applications of this...
And once you have done as you deem necessary with your childself, you should reverse the process and head back to the Now. I advise you to stop at several important place/times on the way back and REINFORCE the skills and WISDOM (All your lives' lessons). Even if all things are part of the (multi)universal mindfuck, this is important. Seen from a psychological worldview, this is the subconscious reaffirmation that tells you that you really want this. Also it affirms ones ability to transform weakness to strength, sorrow to joy, ignorance to true knowledge. You get the idea... Also, this is how you will reassure yourself, throughout your life, that you're not [nuckin' futs] (technical term). It makes a difference. It really does.
Now that you've progressed yourself and endowed yourself along the way back, you need to bring awareness to the Present. Settle into yourself here. I would suggest doing the normal Circulation of the Body of Light exercise to normalize your energetic pattern, at this point.
...And as in the article, it's time to step back through the veil and close it and deconstruct the Vortex. Which is given in that article but you already know that.
Here's a thing you may wish to consider: No matter how much normalization you put back into your pattern, you're going to be "different". The Universe itself will note this oh... And so will just about every Celestial, Psychic Vampire, Demon, Planes/Void Walker, Ghost (Intelligent dead. Not the Addlebrained) and well, you know... Each will have their own reason for gettin' at you. None of them with intentions that you will find cool.
So, it's a good idea to cast a few HEAVY BANISHINGS and generally clean up. Having done that, you're Brighter than ever, right? Probably and that increases attention too, so; you may want to Cloak your aura.
Invisibility techniques are good for this. Or a general Fog surrounding you will do or even, something like a serious Solar Cross Ritual. Or even the Rose Cross Ritual. Or basically anything you got. Techniques like the Solar/Rosy cross exercise are thought to cloak the aura. Those people are SO off base... Actually, it works on the principal of making yourself SO bright, that none but Gods may look opon you, unless you choose to reveal yourself. Along the same lines, Bloodstone, smeared with fresh Heliotrope flowers and worn or carried will Blind the Psychic Eye; rendering you "invisible" to casual observation by way of dazzling brilliance. If you want to engrave a bat on that stone, all the better.
Now, you've just read a book with all the pages out of order. Frustrating, no? So, I'm gonna do a cheatsheet/cliffnote for this and if this still doesn't make itself clear, I'll explain things in an easier format and we'll move on from there.
Retroactive Technique (Checklist)
1)Know what you want and how you intend to deliver it to yourself. Preparations are important
2)Cleansings and physical preparations
3)Create the Vortex
4)Open the Veil
5)Circulate the Body of Light (and on to Universal proportions)
6)Run the Circulation (and all things) in reverse
7)Go to your Youthful Self and convey all things by whatever means you deem necessary
8)Again, reverse and Progress yourself, stopping at different st/ages to reinforce this all
9)Normalize your energetic pattern
10)Heavy Banishings and/or Dimming the Aura isn't a bad Idea
See Venger, I promised that I would drop by and share entirely too much. I'll try to get back here and write MUCH shorter variations on the above. Then again, this IS a Retroactive Enchantment here, so maybe I already have....
