Hey even i am a new here and idk from where i found this website. As i said i am the most unaware person right now on this site but also the most curious one. Can you help me out ?
Welcome @Phoenix50. Please properly introduce yourself in the NEW MAGICIAN AND INTRODUCTIONS area, and tell us about yourself and any experience in magick you may have. It is a rule of this forum.
Well, there are many who are helpful on this forum. What sort of information are you looking for at this point in your life?
I found this. And read it, and article, Thank you. I hope it is semi obvious that despite my generation I do know how to learn on my own. And I am curious, and I do put a lot of efforts and weight on knowledge, and self educationā¦ I think that article is right to some degreeā¦ Itās a rabbit hole Alice. And easy to get lost. A mentor helps you stay focused and points you in the right directions when your goals are on time crunchesā¦ I am on one. I donāt think Iām all important, but I do recognize that people choose thier positions based on thier personality and individual goals. I also know that this means they want us to come to them, and we can trust they have an interest in assisting us. I find it ironic that it never occurred to me before (with everything I just stated) they thought it completely rude to not introduce ourselves, and/or see it as entitlement on our partsā¦ I always assumed it was flattering to turn to a teacher because, you know, they are a teacher; and say āteach me.ā The assumption of an unspoken dedication and appointment. The fullfillment of purpose and acceptance of such purposesā¦ Youāre a teacher. You teach. Iām nobody, I learn. And who I am, my standing, my name, my originā¦ Means nothing, because not leaving Ego and ID at the door; as eastern philosophy so states, is like filling a full vessel. I am not here to be me, because all that encompasses I AM is not sufficient, so I AM here to learn. Hence I have no title, no ranking, and my past is not important, as here, it doesnāt serve me. What serves me is my teacher and the abandonment of self. Thank you for the forum and your patience.
