Hey, Mahdjikqual types

[Golden Applesauce]

So my latest experiment, (sparked by, of all things, a children's cartoon) is to refer to myself as a God.

Hey, how the fuck did you get one of your flyers inside my pillow in a locked room?  I am a god among men, that's how.  Undefeated in six directions and the center and all that.

I've begun referring to things that I receive as "offerings."

I have done essentially no research into "magick" or hacking your own brain - any ideas from those more well-read than me?

(I'd ask "am I doing it right" but as a diety I am, of course, doing it right by definition.)

[Bu🤠ns]

neat.   

See Bornless Ritual: used to raise consciousness to State of GOD state for dealing with demon evocation or self work or a boxing match.

also

The esoteric 'assumption of the godforms' is the process where the imagination identifies with a Deity and assums the qualities it represents to assist the practicioner's focus and insight.  Therefore shining light on your own respective qualities.

Eris-strife
Venus-Love
Hermes-Communication language
Jesus-for the Lulz
Mars-War

etc...

so given the practical applications, consider the changes you want around and inside you.

Tell people that you love them unconditionally, but if they disobey you they will be punished eternally in roasting pits of shit. 

[Faust]

I declared myself to be god when i was about 14.
People took it seriously to a frightening extent.

Tell people that you love them unconditionally, but if they disobey you they will be punished eternally in roasting pits of shit. 

Advice:

Meditation practice. Breathwork practice. Envision yourself (specifically your own center of gravity) as the Universal Center.

Sitting (stillness of body/mind) meditation works really really well after about 3-5 minutes of aerobic exercise (remember your breathwork to calm the body down after exercise).

Read "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert Heinlein (THOU ART GOD and GROK are the important memes here).

Read the Exercises to Mindfuck Yourself thread.

Read the Principia again with the firm belief that YOU are the prettiest one, and you ain't giving that apple to no-body.

A week later buy an apple ornament (should be easy to find a gold one or paint one this time of year), and decide who in your life besides yourself is most worthy of it. Draw personally symbolic images on the apple. Give it away.

Good luck to you, GA. Remember, though, that along with the privileges of being a God, you will also have to bear a few responsibilities and some crappy stuff, including:

1) Any time anyone wants to bitch about their life, you're now obligated to listen (though you don't have to do anything about it).
2) You will never have your name included in any good music, although those who write songs about you will love you to an almost stalker-ish degree.
3) Your genitalia are now vestigial, unless you are a tantric god, in which case you are obligated to have sex forever without end, even if it means that your loins will become dried up husks only capable of spitting dust.
4) Dudes who wear miters get to tell everybody what you really mean, regardless of what you say or do.
5) You're obligated to kill your only son. No one's really sure why, but it's a rule. You won't get access to the Pantheon Racquet Club until you do.
6) Every tsunami, earthquake, flood, forest fire, and incident of someone finding your face in a taco is now your fault.
7) No one is allowed to look at you, ever. Feel free to use this constructively and refrain from dressing up, if you so desire.
Why does evil exist? You better have a damn good answer, because people will be bitching to you about it for a long time, now.
9) Mel Gibson or Tom Cruise. Take your pick.
10) You must show up at every baptism, confirmation and religious service for the rest of eternity. No more sleeping in on weekends.

Good luck, and youspeed.

Surprisingly, some answers you want may not come from occultists (well, except those fishnet wearing emo kids on the Left Hand Path) but theology.

Suitheism is the act of self-deification.  In practice, this shares more in common with the Roman Imperial Cult, other personality cults.  Certain practices of Vajrayana Buddhism, other forms of Tantra (mostly Hindu, especially the Aghori cult), the highest levels of initiation among the Ism'aili Assassins and any monist worldviews are also good places to start looking.

Shortly after posting that, I realized I should have said GAspeed, but I forgot to modify it.

This. Tread carefully. Carry a Big Stick.

A few suggestions:

Don't be haughty about it, don't gloat about it.  Say it very matter-of-fact whenever it comes up "Why, because I am a god, of course."

I had a lengthy conversation with a friend of mine which consisted roughly of me declaring "I've decided that everything only exists because I will it to."
He replied, "Well that's ridiculous, things were around before you were."
To which I said, "No, when I willed things into existence I created history, memories, and everything else at once.  I can make them cease to exist as I wish."
He said, "Okay, do that.  Make things cease to exist."
I said, "I just did, you don't remember it because you didn't exist."

It's a very childish argument, but like the best childish arguments is one for which most adults are not prepared.
