JMG, a few questions for you and our company today:
1) So, despite not being christian, I've had St. Michael pop up a few times in my experience over the last year and possibly participate in a major thing that got unblocked for me.
I've had a frequently bubbling thought lately, that I should have a subtle ring of St Michael made and wear it, but I don't know how to do this, and how I would actually consecrate it properly / receive his blessings. Any advice?
2) Last week you said anger is a secondary emotion to fear/guilt/shame. Is there a good body of work around the theory of emotions worth reading to understand this better? (Would you say its the stuff from Octagon society / OSA or something more traditionally psychotherapeutic?)
3) Is consciousness a gradation of the will (there are more substances/extensions to the will beyond the phenomenal world)? one that is accessible to us directly via the astral vs the will that is accessible to us indirectly?
