Three Friends Possessed and Hospitalised After Playing With Ouija Board

[Horuseus]

If you add up what these "techniques" are really doing, it is giving one courage.

I'd say it's more the belief than anything else. The 'Mind over matter' axiom is quite literal and true.

It takes courage to believe, no?

Right, but it's the 'belief' in courage which is the distinction. Belief is always primary to anything given it is the belief in any concept (In this case the idea of being courageous) which provides the foundation and generates the experience (Thought/belief creating form). In the context of this thread and avoiding such greetings it's more along the idea of acknowledging and the belief in ones own sovereignty, rather than the belief in being a victim, as this is what will feed back in ones reality tunnel. Often such 'beliefs' are unconscious, which is where inner work is useful to address said imbalances.
