Very interesting ! I am actually realising that there are quiet a few videos made by former satanists/occultists/Other "savoury" types. Nothing more revealing than those who have been deep into this sorts of things. Strangely, some, after leaving it, do get back into it without people suspecting their new change of mind.
First, its a bit like drugs. The drugs can be a problem. If you don't believe me get to know ANY meth user. But, the person is also a problem. It takes a rare kind of foolishness to get started on meth or crack. Even without the drugs those people are foolish. Now people get plenty of warnings about the occult. Those who do good homework find out the warnings are right and not worth the risks. Those who don't do good homework are already headed for trouble just by merit of being the kind of person who does not listen to sage advice or exercise caution. I'll make an exception to all this. If you are lucky enough to have a good friendship or family relation with some you are confident has your best interests in mind and they are willing to teach you, then it might be a good idea. Regarding links, I'd be very surprised if there are any. Some stuff just does not make it onto the internet. This is from hard won personal experience and observation. But I'll expound a little. 1) Most importantly and most generally, it is (again) like drugs. It takes someone who is predisposed to carelessness, lust for power, and other character flaws and amplifies them. The same applies to law school and several other pursuits. Not only does the pursuit amplify these flaws, but being around other people who have the flaws subconsciously influences you to think these flaws are more acceptable and regress toward the group mean, which is always lowering. 2) There are large portions (most) of the population of this planet that are possessed. If you don't believe me ask anyone ranked captain or above in any military on the planet. Note that being possessed for long periods of time tends to wear most people down and make them a bit degenerate. Anyway, demons, like drug addicts, enjoy hanging around with a particular crowd. If you go there, don't be surprised if you get what I warned you about. Most occult "schools" are like pyramid schemes. They are not there to teach you, they are there to use you, rape you, pimp you, get you to do crime for them, get you to do stupid stuff and blackmail you, etc. 3) There are a variety of mechanisms to cause a person to become a sociopath or instill other mental illness. I am very familiar with several of them. I know for a fact that a few of them are not uncommon in occult practice. I also know for a fact that some occult practitioners will do this to you on purpose because it makes you easier to manipulate and get you to commit crime for them. It would be irresponsible for me to elaborate further. Also, you should be aware of mantras and yantras. Doing or saying particular things can have an unexpected effect. Don't say ANYTHING in a language you are not intimately familiar with. Don't sing ANY song, even one you hear on the radio. A few words of it are fine but not the whole song. The vast majority are fine but not all. Don't read any script out loud or read lengthy passages from a book out loud. It does not matter what the book is. It could be a CEO's autobiography. Don't read large portions of any book in one sitting. If reading a book makes you tired either the person that wrote it is trying to possess you, or a demon is trying to stop you from reading it. Be especially cautious of expensive books. People like to possess other people that have money, not poor people. Lastly beware of redheads. I'm not joking. Mental illness, especially borderline personality disorder is rampant among them. If an occult school has more than one redhead out of a hundred people (which is the approximate proportion to the general population) be careful. If there are many at all either they are there to abuse the school and the school admin is the fool, or the school its self is making use of them as criminal shills and / or whores. REDHEADS SPREAD DISEASE. DON'T TOUCH THEM. OK, I just gave you about 40 years of education in the school of hard knocks, and saved you untold misery. Its time to show some gratitude, how much are you paying me? I left out a lot of it is also just B.S. time wasting book selling scams.
Well poorboy : any reason why you are still using this nickname? I assume you know about LOA. With all the information you have provided just here: what is your price to really inform one on the "workings' of these occult groups and practices? You seem to know a LOT from firsthand experience ? I'd be also very much interested in what things would get people that are deep in the occult or to "reform" or to "go away" if such encounters occur.
Somebody be trippin'. Most people into this are Ninth Gate party types. They enjoy dress up kinky sex and getting high. However, there are some true believers that are not to be trifled with. Lots of loyalty tests and such before they'll really let you near the deep dark shit. Most, like myself, bail out way before getting even remotely close. I'm going years, decades back with my dance around the fringes with this stuff, but I can say there is some deep, dark and REALLY sick shit out there. Got to go dark/deep web to find them now. Be careful what you look for.
It's real. The spiritual realm is real. Occult practices are gateways to conjure spirits/possession etc. Stay far away from it. Fear God.
Some real warnings. Achille28: how did you come to believe that spiritual realm is real? CaptainObvious : it seems that those who are real deep into it, are from a long line family of occultists. Then there are those who got into it from a very young age ( down to 5-6 years), but then again, one finds out that they were first introduced to it by a family member ( uncle, etc). Those who go into it, without having any "occult" blood running into them, seem to be actually recruited only to be used for whatever purpose later on. No matter their degree of loyalty, they never get into the family inherited practices. Just to know, CaptainObvious : regarding your babe into sorcery, was any of her family member into it, and from what lowest age, was she willingly active sexually?
