practicing the lbrp too many times in one day
IS it possible to practice the LBRP too many times in one day?

I would have to say NO unless you feel it is. Ive never had hill
efects from it. Heck Ive known mages in here that have practiced
it SEVERAL times in a row. My only suggestion would be to take a
break fer a few hours if you raise to much energy at one time.

the reason i asked this was because i'm starting to actually
practice evocations and i want to get the LBRP remembered that way
i won't have to look at a piece of paper ... or something like
that

Honestly, I dont want to be rude but you should have the LBRP
memorized long before you start evokations.

point of my question

You may have meant WANT TO GET into evokations. Either way, I
would suggest reading the thread "Dangers of evokation".

While I do not think you will be harmed by doing the LBRP many
times a day you probably will NOT help yourself much either. Yes,
you may memorize it quicker and that is a good thing. But the
other benefits may not come to you if you practice the LBRP many
times in a short time period.
You can do the LBRP once a day for 90 days or you can do the LBRP
90 times (assuming it was actually possible) in one day. IMHO,
while your memory of the Ritual will certainly be enhanced you
will not build your Aura the way you should. In my opinion it is
far better to do the Ritual twice a day for EXTENDED time periods
(months and years). This builds your Aura, balances you, and has
so many other benefits that I do not think I can list them here.
Your LBRP should be a STRONG Ritual prior to summoning any entity
but certainly if you are going to summon Goetics. You can never
have too much protection. Instead of rushing into the Magick, take
the time to build yourself Magickally. The Goetics have been
around forever. They will wait a few more months for you.

If you want to commit it to memory faster just take your notes to
bed with you and perform it in your imagination before going to
sleep. Your brain assimilates daily information at the end of the
day in the reverse order in which it was received. Therefore if it
is the last thing you do, it will be given priority. Also, it will
help you astrally. That way you can do one physical one during the
day, and one imagined one at night.

I don't think your advice makes much sense Redeemer. Surely that
would be a useful method for a person not willing to invest much
time in practice, but for one with the, excuse me, balls to spend
on practical magic half the hours most people waste watching TV,
astral LBRPs before sleep are a step down, not up. Also, intense,
prolonged rituals are always reflected in dreams, so multiple
LBRPs on one day would automatically include the effect of
imagining one before sleep.

Yes, if you aren't careful. You will find that with repetition,
the ritual changes, and that you change too. Your visualizations
will likely become more and more intense, the speed at which you
perform the ritual will ebb and flow, and you will feel dreamy,
uplifted and, in a subtle way, very happy. This is the theta
state, a state of deep trance. It makes you more susceptible to
ideas and increases learning, which is why during a single session
of, say, 40 LBRPs, you will probably develop a much closer
relationship to the concepts of the LBRP than if you did 2 per day
for 20 days.
However, you should be aware that by going through this, you are
basically performing a brainwash on yourself. Your increased
susceptibility means that what you experience will have much
greater than usual consequences on your personality and while it
is not difficult to get the precise change you want (i.e. greatly
enhanced ability to use the LBRP), you will have to be
exceptionally careful not to let ideas slip in that could benefit
from this particular environment at the expense of the desired
change.
You might, for example, feel like you are a particularly skillful
magician. If you allow this thought to remain in the back of your
head for the time of your ritual series, it will imprint itself on
you and you'll emerge from the ritual with a greater ego. (In a
different metaphor, you will have fed it with the energy you raise
in the LBRPs.) You can use this effect for imprinting any
suggestions you want, but if you just want to practice LBRP, you
need to take care you concentrate on the ritual itself.
Fortunately, this gets easier over time. If you have great
difficulty getting rid of distractions, try and meditate for a
while in the middle of your circle between LBRPs to clear your
mind. If you are unsuccessful in this, however, continuing the
ritual series is a serious risk. Minor distractions like thoughts
about the archangels might be okay - you decide.
I AM is right in that a single-day effort cannot replace prolonged
daily practice. I might add that the reverse is true, too. And for
the sake of honesty, I should say that while I've done this sort
of thing, I didn't do precise that. IIRC, my longest series of
LBRPs was 13 of them, and was interrupted by LRHs and a couple of
evocations, so it isn't exactly comparable. I actually couldn't be
bothered to do a LBRP-only series since I've done the thing a
four-digit number of times and can (literally) do it in my sleep.
:) Still, I'd be much interested in your results if you do it.

If you are about to start evokations you should be more concerned
with your efficiency at doing the LBRP rather than just memorizing
it. Whether or not you have it memoriezed doesn't mean you will
have mastered it enough to keep something out or get rid of it.

if we knew how the lbrp really worked, then we could just do it

Lbrp
Hiya,
In the LBRP we use the Earth pentagram all the time in each 1/4 so
why is it invoking if I am supposed to be banishing?
Here is a link from another post...if it's a banishing then how
come I am using an invoking pentagram. This link seems
Egyptian...is there a straight forward LBRP...I have also been
using Gevurah (as in Ophiel's books)...
http://www.geocities.com/nu_isis/lbrp.html
I do the ritual and I notice the energy of my self and my home
become "still" serene...though it is as though there is an
invisible silky mist that descends or lingers in my
environment...is this the affect of this ritual? A lot of books
just give the rituals but do not describe the affects or the
benefits can someone enlighten me...' Also do we ever use the
Banishing Pentagram in ths LBR?
I am not rushing into other rituals just sticking with this and
sensing energy for a while but want to know your experiences with
this how it affects your life, other people around you, and love,
health, money, etc...'
Sincerely
SOL
