Post No. 2,778 - Psychic Protection ... and Sanity

In response to   “The Drama on Spiritual TikTok Has Utterly Lost The Plot”   https://youtu.be/EEuy8EzBz9E?si=4m-T7RyKjPw8k4Lo   , which describes a probably imagined event and refers to spiritual psychosis, I thought it would be useful to do a quick summary post on a key point:   

nonphysical health, strength and wellbeing   (see   http://gnwmythrsglossary.blogspot.com/2016/05/nonphysical-health-strength-and.html   )   is always essential to this sort of work

A few specific points I wish to emphasise on that are: 

  • stay in contact with your genuine friends - they are your family of choice, a source of balance, and will provide caring feedback when it is needed;
  • get regular mental health check ups - they dont have to be focused on your psychic work, as everyday life in the modern world can be stressful enough, but at least see your doctor (if you have one and can - that isn’t always possible in all places of the world) for an objective discussion;
  • use the principles of nonphysical health, strength and wellbeing and protection
  • familiarise yourself with the concepts and nuances  of evidence, risks of falsification/bias, checking, etc; and
  • remember that Form 09 energy work is ultimately the best form of psychic defence.

The problem of mental health and emotional stability is an old one in this field - even Dion Fortune warned about it in the first half of the 20th Century, as have others (some earlier).

If you put that warning aside in the quest for psychic abilities or power, you are NOT genuine in your quest (you could potentially get the same satisfaction from a nonBPM activity, or being “better” than others in some other way), and deserve every set back, block, or problem you encounter. 

Be ethical, and care for yourself!  



Following are a few other sources of possibly useful information: 

 

PS - I have just watched   “Announcing The Scratching Post Community”   https://youtu.be/Ca0hlyBUZhE?si=J34fuCivGlHsOdu9   which also includes a link to a free video on Patreon which debunks some abusive claims of a “therapy” to “cure” autism. The video includes the need for careful consideration, especially of true scientific evidence (claiming it is scientific, or claiming so because you did some trivial counting without comparative cases [including placebos or the equivalent] of without considering alternative explanation as outlined in Chapter Nine of Stuart Holroyd’s book,  etc, does NOT make something scientific), and is worth watching - in the context of this post - for that discussion. The video is on Patreon because of some staggering incompetence (IMO) by YouTube, who mistook DEBUNKING misinformation for misinformation      

 

Also, note the following: 

  • From my monthly posts linking to practice exercises: 

Also, don’t forget to do everything - including any psychic work - ethically. 

I discuss that at https://gnwmythrsglossary.blogspot.com/2023/05/ethics.html, but I would like to add/emphasise the following - the details of which are subject to the current laws of whatever jurisdiction you live/work in, so if you have any concerns, consult a suitably qualified/registered/experienced expert

  • even if you do not charge people, you may be liable for the advice you give them. As an example, if you told someone to give their money to a shonky person, even if you did not charge them for telling them that, you may be liable (you SHOULD be, IMO)
  • legal protections go both ways, so you are likely also protected against attempts to blackmail or threaten you; 
  • as the signature block indicates (in part, and slightly reworded): mind your Mӕgan
I consider many people who are not outright fraudsters get themselves into trouble because they are actually seeking emotional validation for their beliefs - especially if they wish to talk about or “demonstrate” proof (see Victor Zammit and  Dean I Radin's “The Conscious Universe: The Scientific Truth of Psychic Phenomena” [Harper One (2010), first pub. Harper Collins (2009), ISBN 978 0062029096, Amazon] on that topic before getting in to any debates/discourse). I suggest doing the emotional work to be able to move away from physical proof and live with spiritual values and ambiguity/uncertainty - you will be more effective for yourself and others, and less likely to damage the entire field that way. 
  • At the bottom of almost every post I make:
    • there may be flawed logical arguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan  Myers’ free online course “Clear and Present Thinking” 
    • I could be wrong - so keep your thinking caps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.


Possible flaws 

Where I can, I will try to highlight possible flaws / issues you should consider:

  • there may be flawed logical arguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan  Myers’ free online course “Clear and Present Thinking” 
  • I could be wrong - so keep your thinking caps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).
