Hi all
I’m in the process of creating an Alchemist st. 4 custom and cutting it down to 20 modules (which seems like an impossible task).
I would like to know if anyone could share some experiences with Immortal’s Blade and what is does, if you do not suspect that you are under any “spiritual assaults or dangers”.
Is this module mainly created for those who use magick and might evoke different spirits, or can it also be useful for somebody on a yogic past e.g., for clearing any bad karma?
I think of it in a very broad way.
General protection, grounding, and strengthening along the path of inner development.
It helps to consider that different paradigms of spiritual practice would have different labels and understandings of the same phenomena.
What a traditional magick user might called spirit attack, a modern psychoanalyst might call neurosis or cathexis, a DSM-5 trained psychologist or psychiatrist might call a ‘psychotic break’, and a secular Buddhist practitioner might call the arising of unwholesome internal tendencies.
However we choose to label it, the underlying principle is that along the spiritual path we are exploring, questioning, and revising how our world is ‘written’. We’re messing about with the source code and seeking to evolve our paradigms. There are inherent and inevitable risks and perils of destabilization in such a project. You’re paving the road while at the same time you’re sometimes speeding down that same road at 160 kilometres per hour. Grandiosity and Ego-Blindness are only two of the milder risks along that journey.
Even with the best of intentions we tend to make the same kinds of mistakes again and again. Some end up associated with cults or cult-like organizations, or under the influence of a teacher who transforms into something not good. Or we may just unnecessarily blowtorch important parts of our lives because of the latest “insight we’ve finally understood”.
The perils of the choice to evolve. Not restricted to magick; not even restricted to conventionally-imagined “spirituality”. It’s part of any deep engagement with development.
I see Immortal’s Blade as a powerful set of protective guardrails as we find our ways along our various paths. The challenges may come from within or from without; and it’s good to know that you have a grounding resource to help keep you healthy and integrated as you go through your own metamorphoses.
So, in a nutshell, I think it would be useful for everyone. That’s one person’s opinion.
This’d probably be a good question for a support ticket, now that I think of it.
Thank you for an amazing answer @Malkuth - Alchemist st. 3 (And I assume also st. 4) also contains a spiritual protection.
Does this protection serve the same role in your experience?
Immortal’s Blade sounds fantastic, but I just spend the last two hours getting from 28 potential modules down to 24 so there is still some way to go to get to 20.
You’re right.
Alchemist Stgs. 3 and 4 do already contain protection. So if you are working to reduce 24 modules to 20, Immortal’s Blade would be one that could go. Unless you’re specifically planning to do some very risky practices that push the envelope or something.
Want to share your modules or are you letting your intuition handle this one in-house?
I would love to get some feedback – especially on which modules might be covered sufficiently by Alchemist st. 4. I have another custom with just Sage and Blue skies that I run whenever it feels right – 1 max 2 times each week.
Here is my initial 31 modules list and I’ve put the ones I’m considering taking out in parenthesis. I’ve had The Merger of Worlds, Omnidimensional and Mosaic in all my customs I’ve ever created, but let me know if you find that some of them aren’t important here. I’ve also never created a cusom without Deep Sleep, but right now it seems as if it has to go. One module that I have some doubt about is Spiritual Reality Alignment since I’m already very aligned with the spiritual path I want to walk. However, this seems like a very fundamental module that also has effect on figuring out ones material path in life. Minds Eye could potentially also be left out, since manifestation is covered by Yggdrasil, Divine Will and Jupiter and since the visualization in the meditations I’m doing isn’t super complex.
My main goals for the custom (with a) being by far the most important) is:
a) To develop in my yogic practice (Tantric, Raja, Jnana)
b) To elevate my emotional/vibrational state and connectedness with something more than myself (increased calmness, joy – decreased stress)
c) Improve manifestation ability
d) Help my figure out whether I’m on the right material path in life (Running Stark as well)
Thanks a lot for taking the time to look at it.
I hope you dont mind my 2 cents
In my opinion you are fine leaving those out of this new custom, since you have them on the others and eventually all result enhancers bleed out from one custom to another… either Saint or Fire posted that, let me see if I can find the quote.
I agree!!
If you have it in more than one custom, you already have a lot of exposure, you can safely remove it from this one, in my experience.
It helps me a lot to visualize a new custom in this way…
Now you only have to pick the 3 that you most like, that are more aligned with your goals from the list below…
Possible Modules:
)Its always feels easier to put something more in, than taking things out…
Was just logging on to tag you. And now I get to see your recommendations as well.
For me the most focused are the first two goals. They are almost the same goal.
A and B are, to me: energizing, empowering, and cultivating the heartmindbody.
Goals C and D seem like applications of Goals A and B. In a nutshell: Grounding and applying the empowered mind.
These seem to me like core modules for Yogic/Vibrational work:
For Grounding and Manifestation (i.e., external lifestyle work and management), I group these together
I was considering the possibility of removing Mind’s Eye core and creating an Ultima Manifestation/Lifestyle Booster.
Arcane Mastery overlaps somewhat with Alchemist Stage 4
Spiritual Freedom and Joie de Vivre overlap somewhat with The Wonder (I plan to include Spiritual Freedom in something ultimately).
I’ll put it down for now and return to it tomorrow.
Its seems to be pretty well covered by what @mvargo already have, I would suggest that point b can be highly improved by Emotions Unfettered, The Wonder, Gratitude Embodiment and Joie de Vivre.
That’s my experience on Immortal’s Blade
I can see the spiritual blade if I focus on it and I never used it against someone
But I found another use for the blade.
If I have a negative emotion I pull the emotion out of my body in front of me and then I let the blade pirce trough the emotion.
In 5 seconds there is only a white ball of energy left, all the black and ugly staff from the emotion is gone. Then I absorb the white ball of energy back into my body.
Pretty useful 
Thank you @anon2351792 and @Malkuth - both inputs are very helpful and I’m actually glad that both of your suggestions allow me room to include SPS: Nervous System, since I thought it was a really interesting concept. @Malkuth - any reason for not including Yggdrasil in any of the two suggested lists?
What I should do is to rebuild my entire stack and move some of the modules from @Malkuth’s Goals C and D list into my Stark Custom and move some of the Social/seduction modules from my Stark Custom into a Wanted Custom and then drop Sage for now or lower to one loop each week.
However, with ZP coming up within a reasonable time frame, I don’t want to introduce my subconscious to three new customs right now.
I will sleep on it and create something tomorrow based on the lists you’ve provided me with and based on any additional.
Eventually I ended up doing exactly that… and it works so much better, each of my customs is way more focused and I feel results manifesting faster.
Yeah its a wise move to wait for ZP to rebuild in a new way.
I loved your idea of including SPS: Nervous System in that way, for that purpose.
Thanks for the tag @Lion.
@mvargo after reading this thread I wouldn’t say my situation and use for Immortal’s Blade applies to you, seems like you have spiritual protection well covered using other practices. 
I’ve been listening to my APX custom for about a month and have had to use Immortal’s Blade in specific dreams about three times now. Here is the custom:
Astral Projection Q Core
Dreams Ultima Core
Mind’s Eye Q Core
Dream Traveler
The Single Point
Immortal’s Blade
Metamorphosis
Omnidimensional
Harmonic Singularity
Deep Sleep
On about three occasions I’ve encountered some type of malicious projection in my dreams. When that happens I’ll gain some conscious awareness and use the blade on the malicious projection. As soon as I use the blade, the entity or whatever it is, disappears and I’ll continue the dream or wake up.
