The Ad Libitum Department consists of workshops and lectures that don’t require any prerequisite knowledge or skills. It would be appropriate for those who have not yet started their studies in the Menshikova School and for those who would like to deepen their knowledge that has been acquired through the studies in the Main Department.
This department is for those who are just at the beginning of their magical path as well as for those whose inquisitive minds tend to have ten more questions to one found answer.
‘How do I know if I have an entity lodged in me? As soon as I started meditating, I had cramps in my stomach, so severe that I could bend my whole body. I started using mantras and they helped me. Later I was told that it was probably possession.
“There are moments in my life when I am very actively immersed in magic, studying, practicing and so on. But then there comes a moment when there is neither desire nor motivation, I get stuck in the routine of life. Should I overcome periods of stagnation by will or should I let my inner state take over?”
In the life of every practitioner there is a moment of what is called ‘quantum transition’ when consciousness comes to a point where information should be compressed and move to another level of consciousness.
Allergy is the external manifestation of the internal. Medicine will not answer this question because the immune system is the result of the psyche. If something is not tolerated by the psyche, it can manifest itself in various ways, including allergic reactions.
The current of money is like a wire that must somehow enter consciousness but can’t find a suitable plug. A plug is a right. The right to money is earned, like everything else, it has to be proven. The right can be passed on by birth, it can be earned by a person, or he comes with the right to money based on his reincarnation possibilities.
The person incarnates in this world on one of two basic channels. In occultism these channels are called Apollonic Channel and Dionysus Channel.
The channels of Phoebus and Dionysus predetermine specific innate qualities of a person, which are laid down during the formation of a zygote.
During the “Goals and Values” seminar, we will try to reconcile the two parameters of our consciousness that are related to our values and to our personal individual goal-setting. These two things are connected, and one depends on another. As a matter of fact, this dependence is the reason why the goals are not always achieved, or, if they are achieved, it’s done at random and with an absolutely unclear outcome.
“I recently heard that one of the European countries wants to substitute the term “women ” for “people who menstruate” at the legislative level. This term was first used by the author of Harry Potter. Could you explain what this means in terms of magic?” J.K. Rowling was certainly trolling them, but they didn’t have the wit to appreciate it. We are transitioning to a new operating system, and we need to change old paradigms.
“How can one recognize a master who truly practices in the Northern Tradition? How can one tell that he is not dealing with an imposter?” There is a very good way. It is to become a master yourself. Then nobody will be able to fool you.
“Whether there is a difference between soul and consciousness, and what kind?”
Of course, there is a difference. The soul is an informational structure, it is eternal and indivisible. It passes from one incarnation to another, it is a parcel of god’s consciousness. The consciousness is the result of the soul’s activity.
“What can cause a lack of power and energy for magical practice, and how can it be restored?”
There can be several reasons for this. They fall into two categories: external and internal. The internal reasons have to do with a kind of blockage within the consciousness that prevents the passage of certain currents of powers on which the magical discipline is based. The external reasons are caused by processes when currents are blocked intentionally or due to some fatal situation in the outside world.
