Western Occultism is an extremely extensive foundation of Knowledge - let us not forget that most forms of Western Occultism are derived form ancien Eastern Philosophies and Practises.
One matter that tends to make Western Occult practise imperfect and unproductive to the development of the spirit and counsciousness towards becomeing a higher form of cosmic intelligence is due to two facts/principles;
1. Most goals for magickal practise are aimed at a physical or temporary result to increase ones wellbeing in this particular realm and incarnation.
2.The Practicant of Occultism does not understand his condition nor does he understand the nature of the forces he is attempting to control/direct
belwo is a formula from the Bhuddha which explains our condition and can be used as a tool to awaken e higher state of being that is betond the fetters of suffering as we know it in the human condition. It also serves to aid us in knowing what results/goals we may wish to attempt to manifest
The last words of the Buddha before dying were;
'Disciples, this I declare to you: All conditioned things are subject to disintegration - strive on untiringly for your liberation.' (Mahāparinibbāna Sutta)
The prayer to investigate the nature of our condition;
- Sappae
Sangkhaaraa Anijjaa (emotions rections and
experiences are uncertain and impermanent) - Sappae
Sangkhara Tugkhaa (all those aforementioned
phenomena of feelings reactions and experiences are; mind, shape body
and forms which have or bring suffering as their nature) [we suffer for
the pleasant things when they are gone, and the unpleasant events wehen
they arrive therefore pleasure, love psessions, our health our body our
wife etc are suffering in the end] ] - Sappae
Tammaa Anadtaa (all things in Nature
[evrrything], is empty of a permanent self or quality [the "HOT" coals
are eventually not hot anymore.. the "king of a country is eventually
no longer king, the "empire" is eventually lost in the annals of
history etc] no thing can be considered to be "that is me" or This is
mine.. nothing has a permanent quality to it and is therefore
impermanent/empty of permanent nature) - Atuwang

forever]) - Tuwang

inhabiting spirit and has been thrown away) - Atisedsati
Batawing (it falls and lays on the floor) - Galingkarang
iwa (like a log or bracken) - Niradthang
(becoming a useless thing ) - Anijjaa
Wadta Sangkharaa (all "Sangkhara"
[phenomaena such as emocions, feelings opinions reactions and
experiences] are impermanent and transitory[everchanging]) - Ubaatawayatamminoe
( they come into existence and fade away - such is their nature) - Dtaesang
Wuubasamoe Sugkhoe (the extinguishing of
such "sangkharas" [experiential phenomaena] is peace and bliss!) - Tugkhang
