'Admit it. You aren’t like them. You’re not even close.
You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the normal people as they go about their automatic existences. For every time you say club passwords like “Have a nice day” and “Weather’s awful today, eh?”, you yearn inside to say forbidden things like “Tell me something that makes you cry” or “What do you think deja vu is for?”. Face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator (and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on conversation with a stranger. Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others.'~Timothy Leary.

Let’s Talk Abot Fear
"Speak of the Devil and he appears."
"...For a magician, it is better to be possessed by the demon than ignored by him..."
(if ur possessed u know he is there, if it ignores u , he is still there, doing his business, its the same has a disease.)
The most important secret of magick – and of life: DO NOT BE AFRAID !
Do not get me wrong. It’s good to be cautious, but fear is poison. I am not fearlessness righteousness and courage, when I began it seemed like I was afraid of everything, i was superstitious, I fantasized ‘seeing’ things out of the corner of my eye, and had the most outlandish speculations.
My fears arose from my childhood religious programming. I was still unconsciously brainwashed – trapped in a hostile universe with a wrathful God who frightens little children into acceptable behavior (so that they grow into obedient God-fearing adult little children). I was programmed by the doctrine of fear and self-loathing.
Gladly I had a magical mentor who ridiculed my childish fears and helped me develop an attitude of a scientist, driven by intense curiosity and wonder. A magician is faced with disturbing psychological and spirit-world challenges, and the key is, a detached attitude of fearlessness, determination, and an unshakeable passion for enlightenment.
––––
a magician who believed health issues were the result of magical workings; it's best to ascribe them to the normal demons of body chemistry and stress. they aren't caused by a magical operation, your doubts and fears over the matter only serves to give the entities you fear permission and encouragement to keep doing it.
By becoming preoccupied as to whether this pain or that fever might be a demon messing with you, you voluntarily give the demon power to give you this pain or that fever – in a very real sense the demon has evoked you!
you’ll probably live through, and there's nothing that neutralizes the power of a pesky demon more than having its scariness ignored
“... fear neither man not spirit. Fear is failure, courage is the beginning of virtue. ..."
