My approach is quite odd, but as a paranoid schizo affective, I conclude everyone has an agenda and may mean me harm.
Unfortunately, schizo affective are by and large harmless, much as misinformation on them to the public abounds.
So I've defended myself by religion(mystical aspect), or magic. I started being raised baptist. I had no pressing karma.
My mom died and I turned to the Egyptian Book of the Dead and Wicca/Witchcraft.
I've always been friendly with nature.
Even when it hasn't been the same.
I looked into the Essenes and other groups such as Bahai and found a friendliness with them.
I loved Gregorian Chant.
I got further into witchcraft, researched voodoo. Got into HOGD study.
Fast forward some years, I am starting candle magic as part of hoodoo study. Sigil, oils. Herbs, candles. Psalms and affirmations with visualized intent.
Mysticism is now my main area of study, and am getting accustomed to the subtle bodies, light, body of light, rising on the planes, and more all through a simple meditation.
Concurrently High Magic is being done very carefully. And I will make strong use of all rites associated with sacred space or banishing.
