The God/Goddess Training path?

[Marilyn/Absentminded]

*SPG = sharted personal gnosis

Er, we know. But theory, opinion, and belief does not seem quite enough to equal gnosis, shared or not. You're throwing around terms like UPG and SPG in what seems like an attempt to add depth to a fairly shallow and self-serving concept.

IMO, of course.

To prepare for this transition, one must do deity-taught god/goddess training in the last of one's re-incarnation as a mortal.


I know about a few who are on this path. Seems like no-one on this path writes about it in public, though. I've tried to find information about it by googling, but there's nothing.

I'd like to know what this goddess training consists of.
How do you train to become a goddess?? Do you train specific skills? If so, which? And is it magickal skills or "mundane" skills or both?
Does it entail learning about customs of different pantheons? Is there some kind of specific deity etiquette you have to learn?

Does anyone know?

This made me think of two things.

1. The Buddha Siddhartha and his path to enlightenment. Lots of people try to emulate his journey to achieve the same results. But that's not out of the loop of reincarnation of course. Just thinking about what some training of this type might involve.

Interestingly (at least to me) and tangentially, HHDL has said in the past that he may choose not to return again. I wonder if this is something he can choose, would his spirit then be in that position of deity.

2. Holy Mountain. There's plenty of instructions in that movie for humans to train for enlightenment, and/or taking the places of gods among other things. And I found out about it from reading a Lokean's blog coincidentally. The movie does have some very poignant points to make, but it can take a toll. It's not for everyone.

Have you seen this movie? If not, it might interest you to check it out. It has stuck with me a bit, but not enough to read the Daumal book. Well, not yet. I am curious about where the book ended though and if there is significance to it.

Glad to see one of my favorite directors, Alejandro Jodorowsky, being mentioned. I am partial to Santa Sangre myself but The Holy Mountain more pertains to the topic in this thread. Goodness the imagery this man preserves on film, a true feast for the eyes if somewhat bizarre at times.

Have not seen that, but have El Topo in my queue. I'll be adding Santa Sangre too now. Thanks for the tip!



And yeah, bizarre is a good word. It makes me think I should have a more strong caution about that. Jodorowsky pulls no punches as far as I can tell in it. Nothing or maybe everything, is sacred. It is reasonable that some might find it offensive at points.
