I’ll be quick, I’m in a very shitty life situation that I could get out of with just a little hard work and a little bit of magick, but both of those things require discipline and dedication, two things I don’t have because the tragedies that have happened in my life created in me a hedonistic mentality where I seek immediate pleasure and work as little as possible. I know I can improve, but that would require months of attempts and relapses, in that time my life and the lives of my loved ones I could help would pass in front of my eyes while I try to become a dedicated person and fail several times in the attempt. That is why I seek the help of a spirit who can reprogram my mind to become a responsible, determined and not at all lazy person, be it a god, a demon or whoever. I know this is totally possible because I have read the many stories posted here about you getting help from spirits to make whatever changes you please in people’s psyche, heck, I have even read how you manage to change someone’s sexuality. That’s why I’ve come here for you to share some of your wisdom with me, although I’ve never read a story about a magician seeking to influence his own mind and not others, I’m sure it’s possible, so could you help me by recommending someone? And as for how I’m going to pay the spirit for his help don’t worry, I already have that covered.
Agares, Azazel and Belial have been helping me with procrastination and motivation and it seems to be working really well. If you are enthusiastic about these things that need the work, it makes all the difference.
But do they influence your mind so that you can feel motivated and have the desire to get down to work, or do they make you active by other means? Keep in mind that what I am looking for are changes in my psyche, not someone yelling at me to get me to work, because I already do that myself and it doesn’t work. Thanks for the recommendations anyway.
Motivation. I specifically sked or that as I’m the same: just yelling at me is going to make it worse as I’ll dig my heels in and be stubborn, and do it less just because I’m being yelled at about it - that would be demotivating for me.
I remember now I also did two rituals from Corwin Hargrove’s Jinn Magic book, for “Reverse a Negative Cycle” and “Maintain a Habit” - as in the “7 habits of highly effective people” (a self improvement book) type habits.
Well, thanks then, I will wait for more recommendations and in the end I will see which is my best option
Yes , it’s called : Alchemy !
you can change the Mad into Wise @Burgel
Helping to align your thoughts would help before you choose the best type of help.
I like to work with the philosophy of: “I work hard when it helps me excel and build momentum.” This differentiates from working hard as a slave, vs only when it benefits… and a fine line between optimizing how you spend your personal energy and resources. The second is to then be Hyper-focused on the right things.
Out of all of them, Belial is the best candidate, because he’s helped me be grounded and strong in my own body and Hyperfocused… but also has shown me the “why” his personal energy does that.
He’s not just about Politics or Court cases, he is also about Success and a great many things.
Some kind of “inner/mental alchemy”, right? I’ve heard of it but haven’t studied it. Is that what my spirit of choice would do to me?
I have read about Belial and his harsh treatment of practitioners but I have also learned of his incredible ability to make changes in people’s minds. I’m honestly a little scared but he seems like the best option if he accepts the deal I plan to propose to him.
He can be harsh, but that is a case by case situation. It isn’t like being in a Candy store with a mad rush cash grab. If you read his goetic description it states that he must have “Offerings, gifts and sacrifices.” Most people, including on this forum I’ve noticed seem to ignore that; But just by paying attention to that and doing it in the proper way he teaches a lesson that also holds true for all spirits and magick.
Agares has been super present with me this entire month to help with the same thing and it’s been great, definitely recommend him.
