Imbalanced Egos brother the curse of the Spheres/gates/ and self. See the spheres/influences arenr cursed but have what i refer to as a blessing/curse simply put it works like this: The magician enters a sphere works with an influence etc… and with that essence comes the blessing of fulfillment but if the magician is imbalanced or hasnt worked through his/her own demons then it is his/her demons that they will be confronted by or torn to pieces by. So basicly Work to know yourself be impartial as hell but truthful enough to face yourself and in so doing you shall reap the blessings of that sphere or influence. As opposed to being ignorant, foolish and full of ones self wherein there be demons that shall destroy you till you see yourself for who and what you truly are. I find this mindset works very well in aspects of magick as i say in my teaching videos of the necronomicon Check your egos at the door.
