📜 A Thought for People Beginning a Spiritual Path
One of the most challenging exercises I ever encountered wasn't a ritual, a tarot spread, or a deity communication exercise.
It was a mirror.
Sit with yourself. Not the polished version. Not the version you show your friends. Not the version you post online.
The version you avoid.
The jealous one. The angry one. The fearful one. The selfish one. The wounded one.
Then, in meditation, meet that version of yourself again.
And again.
And again.
Not to destroy it.
Not to "raise your vibration" out of existence.
But to understand it.
In my personal practice, I approached this work with Anpu and Set as guides. Your path may look completely different, but the lesson remained the same:
The parts of ourselves we refuse to acknowledge often become the parts that control us.
Many spiritual seekers want to rush toward enlightenment, divine communication, psychic gifts, and deity work.
Few want to sit in the dark room with the version of themselves that still hurts.
But that is often where the real work begins.
When you learn to recognize your own shadows, you're less likely to project them onto spirits, deities, readers, communities, and the people around you.
You become harder to manipulate. You become harder to trigger. You become harder to deceive.
And perhaps most importantly:
You become more whole.
Not because you removed your flaws.
Because you finally stopped running from them.
🕯️ If you're beginning your spiritual journey, consider making self-confrontation part of your foundation.
The gods are often patient with beginners.
Use that time wisely.
