Magical Use of Thought Forms: A Proven System of Mental & Spiritual Empowerment a Proven System of Mental & Spiritual Empowerment

What I most like about this book is its dual authorship and its well structured format. I first read this book in 2002 and have dipped into it many times since, each time finding something new (which is always a good sign). I think the most important thing for the reader to realize is that both of the authors are writing from their experience, this is not a book of theory, which is why (I think) the tone is so accessible. It's like a conversation between friends, and if you read it like that you will discover much of value.

If you've ever practiced magick and felt that there was maybe some minor detail missing from the experience, something more you could do to make it more effective, some secret that's been kept from you but you knew was just under your nose, this is the book for you!!! The exercises and ideas in this book will help you to realize your full potential! I'm not giving away any of the details of the book, but I am telling you that if you're serious about your art, then you should pick this up...If you learn just one single thing that's new, it'll be worth the price!!

This book is, in my opinion a treasure and offers a comprehensive study that would provide a newcomer to energy work and visualization enough food for thought and practice to carry them for quite a while. It is a program, a reference, and very complete. It is also indispensible to the seasoned practitioner as well; full of previously unheard anecdotes and ideas that will offer fresh material to those already informed about magical thought. I disagree with others' criticism that book is too chatty and here is why: If you do know about the mind, you know that some parts of the mind learn and remember best when stories are used to facilitate. This book creates thoughtforms for you, to help you learn about thoughtforms, and it does so with interesting stories and histories thrown in as examples in-between practical work. This is not a heavy reader, so don't let the other warnings of length deter you, it is enjoyable, easy to understand and still full of depth. Here are some of the things you will learn about if you read this book: The nature of astral matter, how it behaves and how you interact with it regularly, and how you can interact with it consciously to cause results. Basic and easy instructions to complete advanced thought forms. What it is like to visualize and create objects on the astral plane. Methods for improving your skills at visualizing. How to create astral dwellings. How (and why) to dismiss a thought form once it's use is finished. You might benefit from taking notes on the page numbers of any practices in the book that you want to try, though there are exercises listed separately in the appendices.

Truly magical. This book comes under the heading of "I wish I had read this years ago". These two authors write seamlessly, you can hardly tell where one leaves off and another begins. They interact very well. On the theoretical side there is a wealth of knowledge to delve into and thimk about. This part alone kept me alternately reading and thinking for almost a week. I did not want to miss a word. Then I got to the practical side and had to keep re-reading paragraphs because I kept getting new insights. All in all a remarkable book . I hope they write more. The combination of scientific and practical information is stunning, and so down to earth, unlike the airy fairy stuff that is published nowadays.

Finally a book that is written for the advanced practioner. This is not a rehash of material written by others. This is unique. This is material you haven't seen before. Mrs. Ashcroft-Nowicki and Mr. Brennan have put together a true workbook for those interested in the advanced magical work of the creation of the homunuculus, along with practical exercises for developing the ability to do so. Make no mistake, this is work. But if you are willing to put in the effort to perform this art, the tools you will need are here.
