You love watching girls touch and kiss each other.

You watch them doing it movies and maybe porn.

Imagine the heat from their skin and the gentle carress of soft lips intimately opening as they approach each other.

You picture yourself as the vouyer and perhaps entertaining your perversions through timid self gratification.

The more they touch each other, the more your need to touch yourself builds.

Before long, you are so weak that you're reclining in your bed, spreading yourself open as you imagine how it feels to be between them.

To join them , to intertwine full of lust and passionate sensations.

I'm just going to leave this here.

Also, I want to give a shout-out to @ratohet's Nega LP. I thought I might post my first digital art of the new year, too. Also, I thought about trying to do it regularly on sketch, but then I thought I would just turn my drawing into digital art.

Each one of us has a three-year-old child within us, and we often spend most of our time yelling at that kid in ourselves. Then we wonder why our lives don’t work.

The Intersection of NLP Eye Movement Integration and the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram: A Comparative Analysis

Introduction

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) has long been associated with cognitive restructuring and psychotherapeutic interventions. One particularly compelling technique within NLP is Eye Movement Integration (EMI), which utilizes guided eye movements to access and integrate fragmented or traumatic memories. Simultaneously, the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram (LBRP), a foundational ceremonial magick practice from the Western esoteric tradition, employs ritualized gestures and visualizations of pentagrams to clear and harmonize psychological and spiritual space. This essay explores the striking structural similarities between EMI and the LBRP and considers the possibility that both methods engage hemispheric synchronization and cognitive integration in analogous ways.

The Structure of EMI and LBRP

Eye Movement Integration (EMI) involves tracing figure-eight (∞) or infinity-loop movements with the eyes while engaging in conscious recall of emotionally charged experiences. According to NLP theories, this process activates both hemispheres of the brain, allowing for greater coherence in how memories are processed and reintegrated (Bandler & Grinder, 1982). EMI techniques suggest that deliberate movement across specific spatial axes stimulates neural pathways responsible for sensory and emotional integration (Ward, 2002).

Similarly, the LBRP involves a structured sequence of visualized pentagrams drawn in the cardinal directions, accompanied by divine names and ritual gestures. This sequence is designed to invoke protective forces and create a harmonized psychic field. According to the Golden Dawn tradition (Cicero, 1998), the act of tracing the pentagram is intended to engage multiple layers of cognition: visual-spatial processing, linguistic invocation, and kinesthetic anchoring.

Shared Cognitive and Psychological Mechanisms

Bilateral Stimulation and Neural Integration

Both EMI and LBRP involve movements across spatial dimensions that engage both brain hemispheres.

EMI’s horizontal and diagonal eye movements mimic the process of following the pentagram’s path in ritual, possibly facilitating left-right hemisphere synchronization (Bandler & Grinder, 1982).

Symbolic Encoding and Cognitive Anchoring

EMI often integrates positive resource states during the eye-tracing process, allowing new neurological connections to be formed. The LBRP similarly encodes protective and stabilizing forces into the practitioner’s consciousness through repeated use of divine names and pentagram tracings (Cicero, 1998).

The act of drawing a pentagram in ritual space may serve as an ‘anchor’ to a specific neurological or psychological state, much like NLP anchoring techniques (Hine, 1995).

Emotional and Energetic Reset

EMI is used to defragment and neutralize distressing memories, reducing their disruptive impact. The LBRP, in an esoteric context, serves to “banish” intrusive or unwanted energies, clearing space for more intentional psychological and spiritual work (Cicero, 1998).

Practitioners of both techniques report a sense of clarity, release, and heightened awareness following their use (Hine, 1995).

Implications for Technomagick and NLP Applications

The intersection of NLP and ceremonial magick suggests that structured, repetitive movement combined with intentional focus has profound cognitive and psychological effects. In a Neo-Technomagickal framework, this insight could lead to further experimentation with custom sigils designed for EMI-style integration, or AI-assisted visualization tools for ritual practice.

Future research could examine:

Whether specific geometries (e.g., pentagrams, hexagrams) in ritual movement impact cognitive processing similarly to NLP techniques.

The effectiveness of LBRP-derived rituals in clinical or self-development contexts, particularly for trauma resolution.

The potential for EEG and neurofeedback studies comparing EMI and ritualized eye-tracing methods.

Conclusion

While originating from vastly different paradigms, NLP’s EMI technique and the LBRP share fundamental principles of hemispheric integration, cognitive anchoring, and structured movement through symbolic space. Whether consciously designed or stumbled upon through esoteric practice, these methodologies hint at deep underlying mechanisms of the human mind’s capacity for self-regulation and transformation. Understanding their similarities provides an opportunity to bridge the domains of magick, psychology, and neuroscience, opening new avenues for exploration in both mystical and therapeutic contexts.

The analysis of the NLP Research Data Base (state of the art) by all measures was like peeling an onion. To reach its core, first I had to remove some useless layers, and once I arrived, I was close to tears. Today, after 35 years of research devoted to the concept, NLP reminds one more of an unstable house built on the sand rather than an edifice founded on the empirical rock. In 1988 Heap passed a verdict on NLP. As the title of his article indicated, it was an interim one. In the conclusions he wrote: If it turns out to be the case that these therapeutic procedures are indeed as rapid and powerful as is claimed, no one will rejoice more than the present author. If however these claims fare no better than the ones already investigated then the final verdict on NLP will be a harsh one indeed (p.276). I am fully convinced that we have gathered enough evidence to announce this harsh verdict already now.

The silliest thing ever

[peaceloveandapaperclip]

i told myself i wouldn’t start another fight. i told myself i’d trust him. that i wouldn’t ask the questions i already know the answers to—the ones that don’t really seek clarity, but confirmation. confirmation of a fear, not truth.

sometimes, it feels like i’m not fighting with him, but with myself— one part of me still scared he doesn’t love me, another part trying to prove that he does. like two wolves inside me arguing over the past. and neither of them live in the present moment.

right now, he’s in the kitchen. banging things around. loud without saying a word. and yeah, part of me wonders if he’s doing it on purpose. if this is a game. if he’s trying to make me feel bad or manipulate me. but another part—deeper, quieter, wiser—knows: this is pain. not power. his noise is just his own hurt echoing off the walls.

and maybe I’ve hurt him too. maybe the way I question, poke, pull— maybe that’s me acting from my wounds, just like his silence is him acting from his.

we’re not enemies. we’re just two nervous systems trying to feel safe. trying to unlearn all the ways love used to mean war.

i know all relationships are mirrors. every time i flinch at his silence, every time i overthink his tone— that’s a reflection of a wound i haven’t soothed yet. he becomes the canvas, but the brush was always in my hand.

loving him has never been the hard part. trusting i’m worthy of his love? that’s where it shakes.

but i want to love him. and i want to be loved by him. and if i can’t fully trust where he is yet, maybe i can at least trust myself. trust that i’m showing up with more softness. more awareness. more willingness to heal, not just react.

we’re both like plants that came from harsh soil. so of course sometimes we don’t bloom right away. sometimes we throw shade. but with enough light, enough patience, enough watering the roots instead of blaming the leaves— maybe we grow. maybe we learn how to bend, not break.

and still—i’m doing my best. i catch myself sooner. i breathe deeper. i pause longer.

maybe there’s no such thing as a mistake. just feedback. just lessons disguised as hard conversations. just chances to love better, starting with myself.

i’m in this relationship for a reason. and maybe that reason is to grow. maybe it’s to learn how to stay, even when my past tries to run. maybe it’s to practice choosing love over fear over and over and over again.

and even when i stumble, i remind myself: i’m not broken. i’m just becoming.

You see ....

sometimes love doesn’t look like roses. sometimes it looks like staying calm while the dishes rattle in the kitchen. it looks like softening instead of snapping. like choosing to believe in someone’s pain, not just their reaction. i’m not perfect— but i’m trying. healing out loud. loving anyway. because even when it’s messy, this is still love. and i’m still becoming.
