Welcome to My New Blog!

Hello!

Most of you know me by my other pen name (Virgil), which I use when writing books for Falcon Books Publishing or articles for their website. This is my new blog.

I've called this blog "Living Franz Bardon" because I believe Franz Bardon's teachings are meant to be lived and not merely read about. As a result, all posts on this blog will be written with the intent of helping you live those teachings. Reading is a good start, but it will only get you so far. When you live the teachings, they become a part of who you are and not just intellectual knowledge cluttering your mind.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope at least some of the things I write will be of value to you as you make your way to adepthood. If there are any specific Bardon-related topics you'd like me to write about, let me know and I'll see what I can do. 

Best,
Neln

84,000 Hermetics Doors

Image
  One book I think many spiritual people could benefit from these days is Thich Nhat Hanh's Living Buddha, Living Christ . Thich Nhat Hanh is obviously not a Catholic, but I quote this book several times in a book I am writing on the subject of the Rosary and magical training, since he has some interesting ideas on the Holy Spirit.  I remember the first time I read Living Buddha, Living Christ , several passages made a deep impression on me. One of those was the following passage. The Buddha is also described as a door, a teacher who shows us the way in this life. In Buddhism such a special door is deeply appreciated because that door allows us to enter the realm of mindfulness, loving-kindness, peace, and joy. But it is said that there are 84,000 Dharma doors, doors of teaching. If you are lucky enough to find a door, it would not be very Buddhist to say that yours is the only door. In fact, we have to open even more doors for future generations. We should not be afraid of mo...

Five Considerations for Unvaccinated Bardonists

This is a post I've been meaning to write for a while. When I take a look at my reasons for failing to write this post earlier, I find myself with some interesting insights about the negative and weak parts of my personality, the parts reflected in my black soul mirror. In Step 3 of IIH, Bardon mentions that courage is one of the four pillars of Solomon's Temple. I have been aware for a while now of the many deaths resulting from COVID-19, but despite knowing that this is a matter of life or death, I still hesitated for such a long time to write this post. So much for courage! First off, let me be clear that this post is not me telling you to get vaccinated. Every choice you make generates karma. This includes not just every choice to do something, but also every choice to not do something. In his essay "How to Speak Saturn," William Mistele discusses the idea of taking responsibility for your karma. For me, taking responsibility for your karma starts with taking resp...

The Bardonian Rosary

Image
I received a question today from a Bardonist who isn't Catholic but was attracted by the beauty of the Rosary and wanted to know if there was a way he could incorporate it into his magical training even though he wasn't following any sort of Christian approach to IIH. As it turns out, there are actually plenty of ways to do this. The Rosary truly is a beautiful thing. Protestants are often taught (incorrectly) that saying the Hail Mary is idolatry, yet despite this, a large number of Protestants throughout history couldn't help but notice the immense beauty of the Rosary and want to incorporate it into their spirituality. This led them to develop their own forms of the Rosary, like the Anglican Rosary and the Longworth Lutheran Rosary. Non-Christian Bardonists can also develop their own version of the Rosary. In this post, I will explain how to pray what I call the Bardonian Rosary. I think in general, any Bardonist should feel comfortable with this version of the Rosary re...
