Community Member Question: I’m a guy who grew up a Christian (my 20’s has been spent mainly obsessing over trying to make sense of it, until I just decided it doesn’t make sense if taken literally). Anyways, with that background, as I dive more into your work, digging into Hermeticism, alchemy, magik, etc. I really don’t want to interact with dark entities. All I want is light. All I want is God, and for his love to emanate throughout this world.
Maybe this isn’t how it works, but I don’t want to dive deeper into these topics and practices and “accidentally” conjure up something dark. Do you have any posts or videos discussing avoiding that?
Thanks brother, appreciate you!
Here’s My Advice
There’s multiple levels to this problem. Because in your spiritual journey, which is heavily influenced by your own heart and mine, many of the demons you’ll be battling are your own. While others may be forces outside of ourselves, akin to what we call actual demons. In addition, the supernatural realm seems to be a vast ecosystem with the good, the bad, the ugly, and the divine all mixed up together in an insurmountable landscape that merges the mind with the matrix so to speak. To safeguard your journey and create some insurance that you won’t fall into those black holes of the dark arts the situation must be seen from four different angles.
Understanding Your Personal Shadow
Sometimes its YOU going bump in the night.
Taking on the Pioneer Explorer Mindset in the Supernatural Ecosystems
It’s like your visiting a new metropolis. There are safe places that the locals would recommend you go, and there are dark alleys where muggings and murders happen. This is no different in the spiritual realm.
The real issue here is that we barely have a language or technical system of understanding to communicate about the spiritual realm in an objective and substantial way. So few have done the work of “Mapping Out” the spiritual and supernatural spaces.
So we must understand, that entering into the supernatural realm is something we do at our own risk. There are various things we can do to protect ourselves and make our journey safer. But nothing is absolutely guaranteed. Meditate on this idea of being an explorer and pioneer of a new landscape.
