Immortality: Something we're forgetting

[drakedannii]

Not to disregard the magnum opus or anything else but there is something people who talk about immortality in spiritual circles seem to be overlooking.
Advanced magicians of the past ages (prior to the mid 20th century) may of been more skilled than anybody alive today and yet never made it to immortality so it may seem like a lost cause or something we could easily doubt our ability to acheive. UNTIL you remember that unlike todays Satanic magicians our predecessors had no knowledge of cells and their regenerative faculties or genes. They may very well of had biokinetic skill but without knowledge of genes and cells couldn't have applied these skills at a genetic or cellular level.
Today the scientific knowledge of how ageing occurs is available to anyone who wishes to research it. Which is something I am thinking we should all do and as we advance in magickal skill (and biokinetic skill especially) can apply these powers to our genes. There is no reason immortality couldn't become a reality for anyone here who maintains a consistant effort in power meditations.

I understand what your saying but I think occult circles of former times knew more then we do about the occult and spirituality. Theres this tendency to think that we know more in our times then people did in previous ages. In some examples that could be true, however with spirituality I think we are still figuring out what they knew. Someone knew enough to create the Tarot cards which are like a guide to the magnum opus. Also its not like people who did achieve godhead/immortality would be able to simply reveal it to the world.
