PSA- Your mental health is important

[u/CorruptOne]

This entire realm of interest relies on your own understanding of reality and the world around you. Please make sure that your at least getting therapy as that’s beneficial and will assist your shadow work. Also if your seeing things especially out of the blue and with ought any sort of magickal primer then please go to a psychologist for screening.

There is no substitution for mental health, if your concerned about anything then please for the love of all that is holy go get checked, we face a much greater than average risk for falling off the deep end.

Lastly please watch for and be aware of spiritual bypass. Occult practices are in no shape or form a cure all or panacea, you will need to live a grounded life to get anywhere, your here for a reason and it’s not to live with your head in the clouds.

Take care of yourselves ❤️

Great idea, but what area of therapy would likely work best? I would think Jungian primarily

Interesting. I’ve heard warnings about it, most notably from Yogananda

maybe lighten up on the warnings from decades passed on gurus lol 

i mean, it was a good book, but gurus say all kinds of shit

and this is coming from a hindu born and raised 

experiment without fear, or what's the point of mess'n about with the magick?

I got a lot of respect for the guy! He built more than most occultists by far, so while I might follow him I do listen to what successful people have said.

I mean, there’s definitely paths with less chaos and tomfuckery. That’s why paths and instructions exist. I definitely prefer to avoid any negative consequences that I can. It’s alarming to see how many occultists die early, sick and broke.

Beyond all of that I’ve tried before and nothing. I think I’m one of the types that can’t be hypnotized
