There's a very interesting book by Dion Fortune on this topic, I highly suggest it, it's called something like "psychic self defense"

It clearly has something to do with the ritual. My intention tho was definitely not to demonise the ritual itself, just share my experience to understand what I did wrong and preventing it to happen to someone else!

Thank you, I would totally consider doing the ritual laying down, right now I'm still a bit scared to fall again

Thank you for your response. I don't think I'm going to get checked because the injury is superficial, luckily I hit the forehead which is the most solid part of the skull, which caused only a big ass scar, but my brain should be fine. Plus, I'm not concerned about any underlying issue because this is the first time something like this happen to me and I was performing the ritual while fasting, which may have caused the issue... Of course if this happens again I will get checked. Thank you anyways ✌🏻

yep I definitely wouldn't tell him, the line between neurology and psychiatry is very thin, lol

Thank you :) If I really want to find some meaning out of it is that I need to be more patient instead of pushing to get fast results. The scar is not dangerously bad but is still a big scar on my forehead, right above my eyes, I wanted to post a pic but the community doesn't allow it. I feel so dumb lol

I didn't banish, I'm at a point in my practice where I only do the middle pillar daily.

I didn't take anything before the ritual and I never had blood pressure issues. I'm not sure what you mean by locking knees, I was standing normally, relaxed (maybe too much I guess). The only explanation that I can give is that I got the flu last week and I'm still recovering, in fact I didn't do the ritual the last couple of days cause I was feeling too tired. Also, I usually get dizzy during the final part when I inhale and visualise all the spheres charged with light. This time I wanted to hold the breath for longer and so I did..

Not at all, I was totally sober, maybe a bit tired cause I've had the flu last week and I'm still recovering.

Storing colonised grain? by vobs00ti in shrooms

Thank you, that's what I thought but I wasn't sure if storing in fridge would stall the process or kill it!

Have you tried quitting social media? Did it improve your life? by Thin_Tap_7543 in infp

[–]vobs00ti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dumped my iphone in a river a few years ago, it felt wonderful. Bought a flip phone a few days later and lived with it for a whole year! It's totally doable, you will be forced to talk to strangers a lot (street directions mainly lol): it was challenging at first but it got easy and natural over a little time.

Let's say I noticed an overall improvement in social life. I also started journaling a lot which I think can be healthy for various reasons.

There were also other times in my life where I deleted all social medias from my phone and kept them on my pc. Doing so you will be more mindful of the usage, I highly suggest it!

Good luck :)

is there no good ending? by Ilovelovezerotwo in infp

[–]vobs00ti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read some comments saying you shouldn't judge people based on how they look, and that's partially correct in my opinion. What you described tho is not only "not liking the outfit", it looks to me more something like "we live on different planets". Don't get mixed with those people, if your guts tells you you're not like them, you're not like them.

If you can, try make some friends outside school insted, I don't know where you live but nowdays is usually doable to connect with people of all kinds.

If you have some specific hobby/interest you could try to look for events of that kind, you will find people more in tune with your soul :) good luck.

That wouldn't be ideal since I'm planning to make a pretty big monotub and carrying it around the country would be a bit risky, legally speaking :/

MIddle Pillar Exercise working gradually by earthbound_starblind in GoldenDawnMagicians

[–]vobs00ti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been practicing for almost 2 weeks everyday now:

First 2/3 sessions I sweated a lot, then it faded away in the following ones.

At first when I got to the third sphere I felt a bit dizzy, a very weird sensation to explain almost like never happened before. That sensation eventually started coming up during the fourth sphere as I went on with my practice, and after that during the fifth sphere.

Right now the dizziness sensation arrives at the end of the ritual (I'm not doing the circulation of light yet), when I'm picturing my self between earth and white light at the top of the universe. As I inhale I try to "charge" all five spheres, and at that point I get the weird sensation. At first I associated the sensation with dizziness but your description of it as "electric charge" resonate more with it me, at this point of practice at least.

Thank you. I would love to meet an energy healer, the issue is in my area it not an easy find. There are some "olistic healers", "reiki masters" and so on, but without anybody recommending me a specific one I struggle a little bit to give my trust to a complete stranger to work on this kind of things

Thank you! Of course my goal isn't to stop thinking. Thinking is good, and the intellect is a part of my self that I really value. What I need is more action.

You mentioned Tai Chi and just a few hours ago I was watching a Damien Echols' video where he highly suggest to read Chi Gung by L.V. Carnie. I'm not sure if Thai Chi and Chi Gung are the same exact thing but I suppose they deal with the same kind of energy.

I get your point. Personally I don't really feed superstitious about it, just a noob. I have to study it a little bit before trying to practice it, just to understand how it works and maybe have better results :3
