The Biblical Key Of Solomon (圣经里的所罗门之锁)

In Western occult texts, there are two books written under the name of King Solomon. One of them is the 'Lesser Key of Solomon' While the other is the 'Greater Key of Solomon'. If you have them, forsake them please or you will get yourself into trouble that is if you have not already decipher the initial intention of God to human kind.

In case you are not aware, the God as mentioned in the Old Testament is far from kind. In fact, He is a straight one and He will punish anyone who defies His rule.

So, what is the Key Of Solomon really?

Simple, NO COMPROMISE!

Because...

• Compromise is sin and double-mindedness (Matthew 6:24; James 4:4, 8).
• Compromise causes God’s people to be indecisive and faithless (1 Kings 18:21). 

In short:

1. Do not compromise the God's wisdom.

• It can be obtained from asking the Lord and studying His will (James 1:5; Psalm 119:66, 129-131).
• 
  

2. Do not compromise the God's conduct.

• He built the temple and dedicated it to God (1 Kings 8:14-21).
• His prayer of dedication is one of the most beautiful in the Bible (1 Kings 8:22-53).
• God told him what he needed to do to receive His blessing (1 Kings 9:4-9).

3. Do not compromise the God's worship.

• God alone is to be the sole object of our worship (Matthew 4:10)
• Solomon did not fully follow the Lord (1 Kings 11:5-8).

4. Don't compromise the God's influence.

• It is no wonder that God took the kingdom away from him (1 Kings 11:11-13).
• God did this by stirring up Solomon’s enemies against him (1 Kings 11:14-25).

Conclusion

Compromise is our human way of recognizing differences and accepting a lower level of our expectations. This is fine in our daily life and in politics, but since God will not accept anything lower than His standard; the consequence is catastrophic.

The result was that he lost God’s blessings (1 Kings 11:9, 11).

So, before using the Seal of Solomon to conjure, mark the God's requirement first!

Concerning Quality Of Spirits (关于精灵的品质)

Many people wanted to know which spirits or jinn are the most powerful and of the best quality.

Based on my own experiences, without preferences or prejudice; I have summed up some of the spirits I have worked with. Bearing in mind that I only have a few decades to test and with limited money.

Quality of spirits from top to bottom

1. Biblical and quaranic spirits
2. Mountainous and jungle spirits
3. Animal and plant spirits
4. Ghosts
5. Thought forms

Biblical and quaranic spirits

Personally, it is extremely difficult to conjure a biblical and quaranic entity but spiritual entities from these holy books are the ones that can manifest in its natural form in front of me even though the manifestations only last for a few seconds. So said, a short glimpse of these entities is sufficient to remember them for my entire life.

My guess is that perhaps these spiritual entities are bound by certain rules so much so that if they continue to visit our human world, the world will come to an end? 

Jinn such as marid and ifrit are also good conjuration subjects I think. Interestingly, the best jinn can only be conjured in Arabian Peninsula. Arabian jinn are many folds more powerful than those conjured in the Far East. Also, these jinn require less maintenance and they are unlikely to trouble their owner.

The downside of Arabian jinn is that they do not respond well to the instruction of a conjuror. Instead of commanding the jinn on what a magician want; it is suffice just to bind them with an oath bound object such as a ring and forget about them. 

Rest assure that these jinn will not forsake their masters. They have their own ways of working.

Mountainous spirits

Most spirits worshiped in Asia and Himalayan regions especially in Tibet are actually mountain or jungle spirits. In that sense, a mountain spirit is also normally spirits of wild animals with some exceptions plant spirits. Most of mountain and jungle spirits in Tropical forests are snake spirits and tiger spirits. While the notorious banana spirits are spirits attached to banana plant. They are not real plant spirits.

Mountain spirits are more powerful than lowland jungle spirits. However, these spirits are only earthbound spirits. They are most powerful near their habitat. For example: I tried to conjure a Tibetan mountain god in Penang but other spirits came instead.

Mountainous spirits can appear in a conjuror's dreams and in real life. When they do manifest, they will take the form of a blob of black or white smoke. In rare circumstance in the form of long-haired 'big foot'. These spirits like to hover above mountain hikers' tent during midnight. I have seen them many times when I spent my nights in local jungle. 

Wild mountain and jungle spirits are blood thirst beings. They require more attention and food offerings. If a magician is not careful, these wild spirits will disturb people around the magician. They will also attack their masters when the magicians become old.

I rank them number 2 because of their strong presence and much inferior than the Middle Eastern counter parts.

Animal, plant and human spirits (APH)

Animal spirits, plant spirits and human spirits can be grouped into a group of spirits of lesser importance because they can easily be manipulated, error prone and problematic. The only place to group them together is when a magician intended to use them to 'attract customers'.

Basically APH spirits are most often employed by Taoist sorcerers. A famous Taoist ritual originated from Fujian is the 5-legionnaire armies (五营兵). Many restaurants, massage parlors, budget hotels, gambling and prostitution business.

APH spirits can easily be congregated and dispersed so I rank them the lowest among all group of natural spirits.

Though forms

Many deities in Buddhism are thought forms or fable characters. For example all future Buddha, bodhisattvas, Yamantaka, Kalachakra, dharma protectors are fable characters. Through the visualization exercises, thought forms are forms.

These thought forms are created intentionally as they will finally be destroyed according to the teachings of Buddha. The core of Buddhism is none other than the 'emptiness'. So, it is forbidden to grasp onto an image as true.

These thought forms can only appear in dreams. I have been visited by many tantric gods such as Vajrakila supreme son (phurpa). It is only a reflection of my mind because the deity vajrakila does not exist.

Conclusion

The above is my conclusion about quality of spirits according to their origins with reference to this life of course. I have no vision over future lives or past lives what so ever; not at this stage at lease.

Making Friends In Foreign Place (外地交朋友)

I have no doubts that everyone will experience some degree of helplessness when moving to a foreign location for the first time. Some people can mingle well with local community reasonably fast while others remain isolated from the community.

The main root cause for this discomfort is mainly due to personal character of course, but it may also be that the person's aura or 'vibration' has not synchronized with the local energy field yet.

When we already settled in a location for a long time, then there are bound to be many spiritual entities attached to our aura. These entities normally stays at the outer rim or our aura at first and some will eventually fall off or transferred to other person's aura through aura contacts. A small amount will gradually moved into our aura and attached onto our internal organs. The most favorite place for an entity within our body is our kidneys.

A human's aura would normally extend 1 foot to 3 feet beyond his/her body. So, entities can move from a person to another even when we are walking among the crowds.

Once we have accumulated many earthbound entities and coupled with location specific behaviors; we will be treated as 'locals'. So people will ask you: "Are you locals?"

If after staying in a place for decades and suddenly we are forced to move to a new place, then we will bring along our localized aura and characters to a new place. Naturally there will be a culture shock physically, mentally or spiritually.

Physical and mental culture shocks are obvious: different food and beverages, different climates, different races, languages, different religions, customs etc. 

Spiritual culture means that the entity within us may or may not like their new home. Hence, when we brush shoulders with strangers in a foreign place and if the entities within us are attracted to the entities within the strangers; then he/she will greet us with a warm smile or possibly started to chat. 

On the other hand, if entities within both parties do not agree with each other, then we would either be ignored or being treated rudely. 

Whether this is a psychological problem or spiritual, it is no harm to perform some simple rituals first to appease some local earthbound spirits so that our stay can be more welcoming.

The methods for short stay and longer stay are quite different:

For short stay:

If we are going on an assignment for say 1 month or so, then the rituals can be fairly simple. If there are local Taoist or Buddhist shrines, then we could just drop by and burn a incense and make some kind of offerings.

However, in places where idol worships are not allowed, it is suffice to drop a small piece of biscuit under a tree as a good gesture.

If the condition is allowed, then a simple smoke offering is the best. In the simplest form, we can burn a piece of cigarette or cigar and place some crushed biscuit in the cigarette flame. A small quantity of smoke can already satisfy whatever spirits dwelling in that area.

Such ritual only need to be done once, i.e. on the day of arrival. Best twice, another time before we leave.

I have a friend who always like to test me. Once I visited him and he let me stay in a vacated house for a few days. I performed the smoke offering ritual on the first night of my stay and nothing happened until the day I left.

Before I left, my pal suddenly asked me if I noticed anything strange during the past few days; I gave him a blank stare and asked: "Why did you ask?"

Finally, this no good pal of mine said: "The place you stayed is known to be haunted. Whoever stayed in that house will feel severe headache and experience hag ride at night. I am just surprised the ghosts didn't seem to bother you..."

Of course, I didn't tell him about the smoke offering I made.

For long stay:

If we are to stay for a lengthy period of time or even permanently, then it is best to perform a fire ritual (homa) once during move in. Of course, a human 'house warming' is also good to invite our neighbors but it is not necessary in our modern society.

As a routine, smoke offerings should also be done. Other offerings can also be made according to situations. For example, water offering is another alternative if burning is prohibited.

The benefits:

By hiding inside our house do not automatically enable us to have a lot of friends. My traveled a lot and by making simple offerings, I could always find a helping hand on time in the most desperate situation and environment. So, don't belittle a simple ritual for it may save your life one day.

Plant And Health (植物与健康)

I read the Bible especially the Old Testament because there are a lot of information and hidden messages. 

There is a reason why God put Adam inside the garden of Eden. Obviously men on the whole cannot live without being surrounded by plants. I can only guess about the initial purpose of God but I found out that it is true that for our human mental, spiritual and physical health; we must consistently come into contact with plants. Preferably with trees given a choice.

Many of us are forced to stay in high rise buildings hence lacking the required contact with mother earth. People who stayed above 5 stories are more exposed to the influences of wind and fire (sun) elements. They are likely to fall sick during the change of seasons and due to lack of earth elements; these folks would easily feel agitated, insecure and hot tempered. In long run, this group of people is very likely to suffer from mental depression, kundalini syndrome, respiratory illnesses and cancers.

As a remedial measure, it is best to visit a recreational park with plenty of pine, cypress, willow and neem trees as these trees are very good air purifiers. A morning walk among trees is especially important for a cancer patient as those trees will absorb waste and toxins emitted from the patient and in exchange; he/she will inhale fresh air charged with negative ions. This type of air exchange is of utmost beneficial to aid in healing process.

Even a healthy person can benefit from walking among trees in the morning as seeing greenery, breathing fresh air and touching tree trunks will remove negative energies carried forward from the work, house or friends. 

There are many exercises one can perform in a garden with trees:

• One can first stand facing a healthy tree about 3 feet away. He/she can first take a few deep breaths of air and then raised his arms with his/her palms facing the tree trunk. Try to feel the energy flow from the palm towards the tree and vice versa.
• When one can feel the energy exchange. He/she can proceed to touch or hug the tree. Be careful of the presence of ants and other insects however.
• After a while, the person will feel refreshed and relaxed.
• If the time is permitted, he/she can turn his back with his/her back facing the tree at a distance of about 3 feet away.
• Just perform stand meditation. Some people may feel a force sucking him/her towards the tree. Don't panic as this is normal energy exchange.
• This exercise is particularly useful for cancer and high blood patients.

If there are no trees in the vicinity, or anyone who are staying in high rise apartments cannot afford to visit public gardens; then he/she can resort to set up a corner of his/her apartment with grow lights. After that he/she can plant 10 to 20 pots of fragrant flowers and herbs. Be careful that the person is not allergic to any of those plants.

When the setup is ready:

• He/she can sit in front of the plants or flowers and slowly moving his/her palms over those plants while inhaling the scents. 
• If this exercise is done correctly, then the person will feel fresh and happy.
• If any of the plants died, it should be replaced. In fact, planting vegetables with hydro-farming is a good idea too. Not only a person can absorb plant energies, at the end of the day; he/she has vegetables to eat too.

The best place for negative energy removal, health recovery or simply mental stress removal is still near a waterfall with tall trees. Every time I sat beside a waterfall, I could feel my fatigue gone instantly and my body becomes energetic almost at once.

Gardener And Conjuror (园丁与魔唤师)

A gardener may not be a conjuror who calls up spirits, but a good conjuror should also be a gardener.

I am not the first one who has this idea. For one thing, I like to plant herbs and I also perform conjurations.

It appears that the God likes gardeners very much. According to the Bible, Genesis 2:15: The Lord God took the man (Adam) and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it.

Adam's son, Cane was also a gardener.

King Solomon likes plants a lot and he has a garden full of herbs such as frankincense, myrrh, anise, mustard, garlic, onions, grapes, wormwood and etc.

So, it is apparently that to please God so that a conjuror can summon His messengers, he/she naturally must like plants and preferably before a conjuror picks up the 'Seal of Solomon', he/she should have at least a few herbs of the Bible growing nicely.

Although we can buy frankincense and myrrh in the open market, but if we harvest those materials from our own garden and conjure an angel in the middle of holy balsam trees; I have no doubt holy spirits of some status will come.

Likewise, if a archan (Thai master) does not like plants, then he/she will not be able to attract more powerful spirits of the nature. According to my experience, mountainous spirits feel more at home and calm within various herbal plants.

Generally speaking, spirits of higher classes like aromatic plants such as agarwood, sandalwood, myrrh, frankincense, jasmine, ylang-ylang and etc. While spirits of lower classes will be attracted by foul smell or rotten flesh, blood or even shit. So, if the place where conjuration takes place has no fragrance plants and it is near an slaughterhouse; low class blood thirst beings will no doubt come.

Similar in Taoism, the resting places of immortals and Taoist temples are planted with pine and cypress trees. Taoists are normally plant lovers too. They like to plant many herbal plants and flowering plants to heal and also to aid in their spiritual practice.

In short, it is safe to say that if a magician does not like gardening but he/she only cares about money and worldly matters; he is either a phony imposter or he does not know what he/she is doing. That is the reason why I insist that practices like Phra Ngan is not real and it only satisfies one's sexual fantasy. 

Obviously, if you don't like gardening, then you are not a good magician and it will be difficult to connect with the messengers of God and spirits of higher status. Think about it...

Debunking The Myth of Whirlwind (揭穿旋风的迷思)

We often see small whirlwind produced when joss papers are burnt to appease spirits. We see this a lot during the Chinese Ghost Months. People believe that this is because the 'Ghost King' is present and wandering ghosts are fighting with each other to get the offerings...

Scientifically, the whirlwind is actually a physical phenomenon caused by air movements:

When the papers are burning, air in around the fire is heated and expanded. Heated air rises up while cold air descends. This produces air flow or otherwise 'wind'.

When wind is produced, small and light objects such as ashes will be lifted in a spiral motion. The theory behind formation of whirlwind is same as tornado. When the oceanic cold and hot current meet, the space above ocean experiences air convection that results in tornado.

Comparatively speaking, this phenomenon is same as the explosion of an atomic bomb. Gigantic flow of hot air suddenly ascends and encounters the cold air above and then experiences a quick descend. The center of atomic explosion again causes hot air to continue to ascend. Hence forming a few circles of mushroom cloud.

Although we say that the other end of science is religion... This does not also mean that when some superstitious folks started a bonfire that causes a small whirlwind accompanied with seemingly human like light images, or the rises and falls of paper ashes as ghosts are collecting the hell money.

Sorry to debunk this myth but I just must put things right or things like the below will continue to happen:

A car was partly burnt down due to people burning joss papers by roadsides. Just to clarify... the car is not part of road side offering... It is a SGD190k luxury car!

Stop Or Don't Stop? (停还是不？)

Grandma always said: "During Ghost Month, don't stop if something by the roadside suddenly stops you...

This incident happened many years ago to a neighbor of mine, Siao who is a little wacky. Whenever Siao goes out at night during the so-called Ghost Month, his grandma would yelled out to him from the kitchen: "Ah Siao, remember not to stop if anything stops you by the roadside at night during Ghost Month for they are ghosts!!"

Ah Siao would respond: "Don't worry ah mah, I can take care of myself..."

Then sometime before midnight, Siao's granny came and knocked on my door. I opened the door and the granny said Siao was in local police station and asked me to accompany her to get Siao out.

With still sleepy eyes, I managed to grab hold of my car key and sped towards the police station with his granny.

At the police station, the police sergeant told us that Siao was detained because he refused to stop at police check point. Instead, he continued to cycle as fast as he could until a few police officers stopped him by force.

Since Siao continue to yelled out 'hantu' (ghosts) and ignored any questions asked by the police officers, they decided to search Siao's body and finally found his house number. 

The police has not decided to press charges as they agreed that Siao has some sort of mental problems. The reason Siao's granny is contacted is that the policemen wanted to know why Siao ran away on seeing police blockage.

At this point, Siao saw his granny. He yelled out: "Ah mah, I didn't stop! They dragged me down from my bicycle... They are all ghosts!!"

After some explanations, the sergeant was satisfied that Siao was somehow insane and decided to let him go home.

Due to curiosity, I asked the sergeant if I should stop in an isolated place when stopped by strangers. The sergeant shrugged in slightly helpless manner: "Legally speaking, you can ask for identification or follow the person to the police station. In real life, if the person is a robber; you will have very few chances to escape in the dark. The best is still: Don't go out at wee hours... follow the granny's advice."
