Over the last couple of days my mind has been reeling with facts, stories, and potential experiments, to do with remote viewing. I’ve flown all over the web, downloaded all the information I can lay my hands on, and even visited YouTube to catch videos on the subject. And this is only the tip of the ice-burgh for me.
The more I read the more I’m convinced that remote viewing is nothing more than astral travel under a different name. And that got me thinking about one of the greatest traps a practitioner of magick (or any discipline which requires commitment for that matter) can fall into.
There’s always an infinite number of ways to accomplish what you want. And it’s every person’s responsibility to find the one which resonates with them. And this is where the trap lies. Because most want to reach their goal quickly with minimal failure, the tendency is to attempt to discover the best path before committing to action.
Frustration and overwhelm sets in as a person is inundated with millions of pieces of conflicting data. And 9 out of 10 this results in a person failing to accomplish anything at all. Paradoxically, if that same person had first taken action (any action at all) they would’ve had plenty of time to have made many mistakes, learned from them, and still reached their goal (or at least be far closer to it).
I’ve come to the conclusion it’s far wiser to take any reasonable method and run with it than dipping one’s toes in the water.
What do you think? Does this sound reckless to you? If so what would you suggest ? How would you dodge the overwhelm so you would constantly be moving toward your goal?
