lol what sad fun you are unraveling - yes I think witch boards are more effective that meditation or drugs if you wish to become crazy as a coconut. but anyway things won’t make you insane, just are able to trigger a mode nature installed into humans to answer unanswerable questions for others, keeping communities together. I wish not discuss it be real entities or some kick ass simulation of things so we can understand, and I even more refuse to discuss its origins. subconsciousness goes unfettered flying through the stars in that mode…and it can go either dark or light…well…if you choose that mode of thinking you will have to leave the world you’re used to behind you, I mean, everything you know and love. for the warlock/hermit/saint type of mind being unable to sleep and eat properly, or becoming unable to integrate among other humans, is a normal thing. those who make through the trip will then be able to have peace again and will shed the results of their struggle. nowadays, if stuff goes wrong, it will drive people not into cleansing by some priest but rather into psych wards where they are drugged up so they can do no harm to themselves or others until they recover or try to manage all the stars flying by. yeah go to a psych ward for looking at people unable to handle it, or suffering some very strong version of the trip…you need to be very strong to even try, and I think not every human has potential enough to manage it at all. and some seem to be immune, or incapable of entering the spiritual mode at all, so don’t be disappointed if your hands won’t move by themselves. I would assume though, that the witchboard is not the best way to enter the mode, due to the negative things associated with the philosphies behind that technique, but even more so due to the fact that you let go and give your subconscious control over your body (your hands) right away, I would think that is a bad idea if you wish to prevail, and not drown in that trip. I would suggest letting go to the subconscious with methods that won’t be able to manipulate your vital functions or acting in the world, you still will be unable to escape information flow until you get crazy, but you at least won’t risk harming yourself or others straight away… Just wanted to bring in some reason to all this, as the techiques sometimes will work™ and it is suggested and described here how to enter one version of trip that is particularly grim. Well if you try hard enough, you might be able to switch the trip from fierce demons to aliens from zeta 3 or fairies from a wizzards realm, will still smite you, but in a more colorful way then.
@em eh once I did meditation on methods described in certain modern, laicistic books, no spiritual thing. you know like the stuff suggested for achievers to get stronger, though I’d advise you to stay away from scientology, those just want your money and then yourself as searvant, and I think they only teach simple (but effective) techniques, probably because that won’t make you strong enough to overcome the masters among them, also they have a crazy cosmology going on that they will try to blind you with if you follow. I also made mistake to try own techniques one when I found my focus having become stronger, well, life happens and I’m still well of some kind. I also want to add, the type of meditation I’m talking about, similar to zen techniques, resolves around training the mental focus/attention and modes of it like you would excercise muscles. It will blow up your inner focus and perception, depending which moves you make with your attention again and again. you will become able to reflect your inner working, thoughts, feelings, you consciousness in a very lucid way depending on success of the excercise, this might sound interesting, but in fact can also be very painful as you are exposed to…at least yourself, without being able to ignore yourself or lie to yoursef, this can also destroy a man that is weak or who has been very dishonest to himself. If you are psychotic/“medium”, it is advised by psychatrists not to try meditation, as it can unlock loss of control in such persons. I think, if you train your attention well enough before trying shit like the witchboard thing, you might have a better start handling the effects in case some should kick in, yeah I mean try before being exposed to the illusion, you will still bleed like mad but probably will be able to swim a little trying to keep your will uninfluenced to some degree. good luck.
And of course the compass always points to the center of the world in the middle of the disc, as invisible rays of speculation pull on the polarized metal particles in the tip of the needle from there, if you find the blob of substance causing it in the center of the world, it will grant you the great power to transform the flat shape of the earth into a spherical one, unleasing a paradoxon of the surface of the earth wrapping around itself infinitely, also unlocking dimensions above, I mean now you’re no longer on a disc but inside an infinite universe, with all the stars flying around and around, come and see, all the stars, shining bright for you baby, flying around, come and see, how much the sky is shining bright for you baby, all the stars for you, baby, my heart feels the sky, flying around and around…yeah…all the stars, all the sky…
