When I first became exposed to the idea of tremendous information that people discovered through esoteric methods, I jumped in with both feet. I found books that were helpful and many of those hinted at risks in opening the self to the universe for connection to the wisdom out there.
My zeal cooled, although I will go into periods of regular meditation that benefit in many ways. With the meditation and a little dream work, I continue to gain benefit at virtually no risk to unwelcome influence.
I don't mean to say "cool your jets," because seeking definitely is exciting. Consider this as just a message for newbies: a little bit of temperance will ease any fear that may be more hazardous and possibly act as an impediment to your progress than exposure to something "out there."
You have my very best wishes for success in your personal development:exclamation: It has already started.
hello kycahi, i appreciate your perspective! though i am not sure if or why you might have drawn a conclusion regarding the 'level' of my personal progress
there is a lot of fear and danger pushed around this subject which tends to bring lots of judgements about. at what point does the advanced student turn to the road of adepthood? it is different for everyone, and i am not here to judge anyone's level of progress. however i am ready to discuss this information with those who are ready or those who might have already taken these steps. i know that i certainly dont have all the answers, although i do have much related information that i believe to be of value.
in posting this i was hoping there were some adepts on this board who would be up to elaborate on some of the material, or to share other like teachings, speak of their own personal experiences, etc.
i will say that i do not encourage this for newcomers if that wasnt clear before. and if there is not much interest here for discussion of the subject, that is okay
