I got goosebumps from reading. I support you.
Phase in with them, attune your vibe to theirs, like de-tuning your violin to fit in with the worldâs worst orchestra, then tune it back up perfectly once out.
Youâll develop useful muscles that way, to be able to attune yourself to any frequency, from disarray and chaotic low minds to the more refined stuff. Everything is a gift for your evolution if you treat it that way.
You also get to live many âlivesâ this way, a kind of subjective synthesis of personality and soul harmony.
I did that a moment ago with feiry serpent/dragon energy, which seems to be testing me (Typhon)
Wouldnât it be safer to shield all the energy out and have an objective outside observer stance?
Honestly i havent figured out full shield out yet. If I was still able to do that, I probably wouldnât have been Advanced as I am now.
I was pretty good at it back whenever I was still a mundane, thereâs no way in hell Iâm going back to that now.
Can you shield yourself from malicious entities or psychic attacks? Thatâs your siege wall. But you can still have windows and scanners so youâre aware of whatâs going on outside. Thatâs your empathic abilities and ability to sense energy. But you can always mute or unplug the red alert system when itâs being redundant and board up the windows if shit hits the fan. Full system lockdown.
Working on it.
Thanks, Iâll put that into my spiritual toolbox.
Sounds exciting but also distressing. A challenge that will lead to triumph and and a great feeling of achievement whence you have solved it. I support you; You obviously have been chosen for something. Carry that torch high my sibling!
I honestly NEVER ask an entity about itâs working with another practitioner. Hell, I hardly concern myself with others works too much other than to glean some insight on their approach and methodology. I certainly donât compare skill sets because we all are at different levels and paths.
I picked up on âdrunkennessâ and âloss of equilibrium.â I feel that as well the more I invoke. Iâve lived in a shell a lot of my early life up to almost 40 years old. Iâve lived in a self made prison and stagnated those years in depression and worse. I may have built up such an inadvertent shield itâs hard to break away the calcified rock/lead shield to let anything in. Yet Iâve tried and make some headway. Like scrubbing a hard caked cast iron pan that sat for a while; you have to apply more preasure and scrub more and in various directions until to remove all that debris.
It might be that very reason I have a hard time sensing and communicating with spirits as others. I have to rely on rather odd talents (like my annoying sneezing).
Lost my train of thought⌠oh! YeH, when Iâm hot and obsessed I just push it. So long as Iâm not harming anyone. Only if I hit an absolute wall would I stand back cool off and rethink with diversions before tackling that level of intensity again. Like working out on different muscle groups.
Shielding is a HUGE prerequisite for even doing anything magic OR astral-based. @anon72564005, you need to know these things Iâm saying, so donât feel itâs an attack or that Iâm being an asshole. Call it an ethical and moral duty Iâd tell anyone in same situation.

One does not get âadvancedâ because you didnât take proper steps to learn how to shield. One gets loaded with parasites and malicious entities. You can LBR all you want, but you wonât eliminate a parasite wound around your spine or in your brain. You wouldnât believe how many rhp and lhp ppl Iâve removed parasites from that did regular smudges or banishing rituals.
-
Shielding doesnât automatically get diminished just because you stopped being mundane. If you could shield then, you should be able to shield now, perhaps even better. Doing daily shielding is almost law. Doing daily meditation is almost law. I donât understand that line of thinking. Shielding is a built skill that only grows stronger in time if you have it. Path doesnât determine that. If youâre doing heavier work you MUST take steps to learn advanced shielding beforehand to prevent infestation. FACT.
Honestly, I think you need to evaluate if your âadvancedâ title is coming from all these unshielded activities that arenât the workings of beneficial entities. I note that you mentioned a 30 and 45 day fast from magic but I see you evoking 9 Godâs etc. You speak about being on the edge and needing a break from it but not doing it. Youâre not shielding, youâre not purging, youâre not doing necessary work to retain your sanity or purity of Evocation (ensuring youâre not engaging pretenders), or your basic safety. You need to learn grounding for empathy if you have trouble in crowds with high tension and there are hundreds of things on Google about it.
I implore you to do these things. Youâre only hurting yourself and possibly othersâŚand your potential to become an advanced Magi.
Heâs correct on shielding. But also learn the Art of Filtering as well as purifying and sublimating energy. As you learn to shield its like setting up a Firewall allowing certain things to come and go.
Every once in awhile I will Shut Down all traffic and interestingly people who I expected from certain known locations will show up at my location as strange as that soundsâŚsimply to try and psychically connect. Just happened twice Fri and Sat night =) by now I know almost all the faces in the âcommunitiesâ because of this.
Shields can be constructed and programmed to filter. You can be very specific, much like the email filtering settings on Outlook.
I agree, you either shield, or you start fucking round with the Divine Paradox and risk losing your mind, but I think the former is most useful and likely to be effective in 99.999% of peopleâs situations, especially as magicians.
I did a walk-through on shielding using simple wards here, you can extrapolate from that to creating visual walls or whatever:
I love how you mentioned the parasites. I fully agree that smudging and banishing rituals wonât do Jack shit if itâs already gotten inside of your brain.
My current sanity notwithstanding, Iâm doing my own measures in order to ensure that I donât totally lose whatâs left of my mind. Iâve already checked, there are no parasites or lower entities that are hooked in. I made sure of that. The only thing that is currently drawing off of my life force is a being that I welcome to do so.
My current magickal undertakings no consequence, whenever I did the recent gatekeeper calling, I did that as a experimental procedure, to see if they could offer Insight, instead, well, you watched the video, you saw what happened.
As far as shielding goes, itâs pretty interesting that I havenât figured that out fully yet. Every single mundane in the world is able to go throughout their entire life without any issue, but if I get around a crowd of over a hundred people, I get sick to my stomach and I feel like my headâs going to explode. Iâm going to work on the detuning idea that Lady Eva gave me.
I remember some old tricks that I used to use back whenever I was part of the love and light crowd, maybe Iâll see if theyâre actually effective.
I have a way of cutting absolutely everything loose if something goes down completely askew. You always have to have a backup plan, and then after The Back-up Plan fails, you need to have a contingency. I havenât even gotten to my backup plan yet.
Thank you everybody for the suggestions in the comments, Iâll keep you guys posted.
Yes, I would.
Thatâs probably the smartest thing I think I ever seen you type.
There are levels of insanity that Iâm willing to accept. A good, solid chunk of everything we do involves a small degree of insanity, you just have to pick where you draw your Line in the Sand.
My biggest problem is I havenât been using my full spiritual toolbox. I learned mirror shielding, as well as glass filtering a while back, I just keep forgetting to actually put it in practice.
These things get interesting really quick, donât they?
You know what? Forget you and your passive aggressive bs remarks.
I dunno, Joe (and Jane) Normie is neurotic as fuck, carrying one or more behavioural or chemical addictions, and hitting up the doctorâs, the liquor store or the local dealer to numb the pain.
Meanwhile each new intake of kids are on more and more psych meds from kindergarten as well, and crime, violence, petty aggression to powerless people (retail staff, customer service, and transportation workers for example) flourish, and inability to rationally discuss differences of agreement flourish.
Normieville is no paradise of blithely ignorant fools, theyâre hurting out there.
Iâm probably just hardcore jaded from my experiences when dealing with the mundanes and the normies. I can gladly admit to that.
My personal attitude regarding Humanity as a whole shall be omitted.
My mental state notwithstanding, I have some good ideas about what Iâm going to do in the very near upcoming future.
As far as the shielding from the normies, I may have to look back into my old mirror Shields, they worked fairly well.
My biggest problem, as I stated before, is not using all of the weapons in my Arsenal, not utilizing every tool at my disposal.
Over my time in the occult, and magick in general, Iâve had the benefit of learning hundreds of awesome techniques, everything from baneful magick, to Healing practices, divination, and yes, shielding. I think itâs pretty obvious which area I didnât pay much attention to, but the knowledge is there, I just need to actually utilize the techniques that I have actually learned.
As my madness slowly begins to subside, and Iâm able to hold myself in one Realm nearly the entire day, I begin to notice certain things.
-
Iâm starting to see auras again, itâs been years, but I really needed to retrain myself on that one. Theyâre still faint right now, but the more I work on it, the easier it will become.
-
I find that I am remembering everything thatâs in my spiritual toolbox, from Psychic vampirism, over to shielding techniques that I seem to have forgotten.
-
Iâve also noticed that itâs easier to see the veil between me and the spiritual plane light easier. Itâs hard to concentrate on things when youâre mind is basically being reduced to mush.
-
Iâm also having a much easier time deciphering the vast amounts of information thatâs been placed within my mind, not to mention the fact that the headaches are starting to fade, and I feel, much better, a lot happier.
I only have one or two things coming up that require me to dive back into the spiritual, but Iâm keeping myself as tune out as much as possible. I feel confident that this is really going to help, a lot. Just what the doctor ordered.
If I have to do anything else, Iâll make sure that itâs something that wonât require a lot of excess energy, like tarot, or simple energy readings. I seem to be pretty good at those.
