I’ve witnessed a narcissist gain self-awareness & develop empathy. It’s a painful transformation process to go through if the narcissism developed as a protective mechanism to get needs met in early childhood. It is possible, just not very common. But it’s ok I didn’t take you literally when you said that 😉 haha I really enjoyed this video- I’ve fallen into a lot of these literal ways of looking at things. Ani Difranco has a poem called Literal that I love: “when they said he could walk on water what it sounds like to me is he could float like a butterfly and sting like a bee literal people are scary, man literal people scare me out there trying to rid the world of its poetry while getting it wrong fundamentally down at the church of "look, it sez right here, see!"
Ha! 😁 And remember that walking on water, floating through the air, casting no reflection in a mirror, walking on snow without leaving footprints...all these things are dream signs. They let you know you're on the astral plane.
@@lyamchristopher2393I’ve definitely been able to lucid dream when I’ve noticed I had no reflection before. Yet there are other very obvious dream signs I’ve missed- like the person I’m arguing with shapeshifting and then vanishing- and instead of becoming lucid, I kept arguing with thin air 😂 goes to show how stupefying anger can be
@@Livfree33 Each dream sign is an invitation to wake within the dream. The goal, as you may have gathered, is not only lucid dreaming but lucid waking. A permanent change. A state of being in which karma cannot--or is very unlikely to--take you over anymore.
23:20 not to take things too literally (lol) but at least in Theravada Buddhism, it's worth noting devas are capable of becoming enlightened as well as humans.

I had Vic Di Cara the astrologer say to me see yourself as the object of someone else. Most people are stuck in the mindset of seeing objects as outside of themselves. I took that to mean see yourself from someone else's perspective. Then your not just solely locked into your subjective mindset. I always do try to do that, but it's frustrating when the other person doesn't do that, and any any kind of attempt at reconciliation on your part is just precieved as an admission of fault 😂 I guess this is where surrendering is required, would I really give a flying fuck if I wasn't so concerned with being right myself. Would it actually have just been a disengenous attempt at reconciliation on my part. Not a true peace instead just looking for a cease fire 🤔 reminds me of an mma fight I once saw where one guy was absolutely destroying the other guy and it was a completely uneven contest but the guy who was loosing simply would not give up, so the guy who was winning out of admiration and compassion for his opponent took the knee and submitted... Yeah I feel it. Both absolute titans, both winners. See it's amazing the random things that pop into your mind when the times right for you to see the connection. Now I'm thinking about the concept of *face* in Chinese society... It's essentially the same thing as what I'm doing. I've been watching videos pertaining to capricorn today about how Capricorns care about being right, but not only being right but wanting everyone else to see their right. I have capricorn moon conjunct capricorn ascendant... That's fucking me! 😂 This eclipse that's happening right now conjunct Saturn and Jupiter in my birth chart is tickling my bahlsack let me tell thee. No matter what one is to believe in you can't deny the experience of things just coming together. I've had people in this field compliment me for my efforts in trying to over come my subconscious programming yet critique me for my faith in things working out for the best. Implying faith is for the feeble minded. I say they don't understand my faith. It's not passive faith, it's faith in my own actions and faith in the actions of others to come together for tomorrow and I've yet to see that not result in the future. Outcomes are tangential. As the Beatles said we can work it out
Thank you for the vid Lyam! I don't know that it would warrant an entire video, but I would love to hear your thoughts on the strict adherence to only practice what is put forth in KMGST. I've had a debate with a friend over this. I'm of the opinion that the purpose is to develop self discipline and things were laid out the way they are for a reason. My friend will practice KMGST in the morning for example, and her other practice at night. She is of the opinion so long as you aren't blending techniques it's fine.
Most of Western Magic is an example of this kind of rationalized debasement. Of the ego distorting a system of liberation from suffering, twisting into a system that perpetuates suffering. The peril of working without a teacher.
“Most of Western Magic is an example of this kind of rationalized debasement.

I’ll contemplate this often I’m sure.
I think in one of the Forbidden Realms articles you said "astral projection" and "lucid dreaming" are the same thing. But I've heard many dream enthusiasts describe differences between the two as well as sleep related "out of body experiences". I'm confused. 🤔
There is a difference, but both are, in essence, the same. One type of lucid dream is caught up within the sphere of sensation, and another type is (apparently) beyond that sphere. You can reach a point at which you break out beyond your own projections. This is a difficult thing to talk about. At least for me. My experience is still limited.
Study symbolism and metaphor in literature. And write down what happens in you dreams. You'll figure it out quickly. You are already in non-literal mode a lot already. But is has you hypnotized. The task is to wake up to it.
@@lyamchristopher2393 well I already do this and I have these crazy dreams. Like the other day I dreamt I was walking in a desolate grey landscape and some spirits appear in front of me with a frightening appearance. In my dream I remember I can command them to appear to me how I ask them to and say something "By the power of the almighty God I command you to appear in human and friendly manner". Then they suddenly change shape from the monstrosity to looking like a Normal man or woman ... What do you make of that ?
I am a neophyte, I fear someone has been "praying for me" and that it may be hampering my progress. Is there a way to shield myself from their influences on me in a peaceful way?
Yes, the LBRP appears to pushing that influence out into the periphery of your awareness, where you can discern it, accept it, and let it evaporate into space. That's the way banishing works. It intensifies an influence so you can confront it and allow it to exhaust itself as you simply let it disappear from your life.
@@lyamchristopher2393 It's such a powerful daily ritual, thank you for your answer and thank you for your lovely book. It makes so much more sense that the ritual works in that way, reading the magical diary reveals this has been happening.. simply amazing!
What about everything about magic being in a constant state of evolution as a base perception of magic because change is about the most consistent thing that a person can count on?
@@lyamchristopher2393 I've been thinking about this since the video and I keep wanting to go as minimal as possible. That ends up being an equation of sorts. Magick is energy plus our participation in a chosen format should equal manifestation. Because this is a base equation it should be able to rule out judgement, as in one way is better than all others which several of the options you talked about would end up being due to the qualities of loyalty and devotion or self aggrandizement which is an over inflated ego. If the idea or the goal is to be able to be completely flexable with out regard to any specific practice, then the equation I've ended up with seems to be the other way I can find to look at this.
@@lyamchristopher2393ok, so here's how my thoughts ended up at a mathematical solution of simplification. The aim is to remove all the obstacles the list you presented creates. If the magician is a midwife and must be able to piviot and be flexible, all obstacles to that process must be removed. That's the challenge and going as simple as possible and as emotionally detached as possible is the best answer I could find, and that ends up being a mathematical approach which is why I ended up with an equation of simplification. Which is weird because I suck at mathematics. Anyway, here's the thing, the equation is magic, the energy,(magick is an energy at it's most base form. I see it as energy because it exhibits the same behavior as all other forms of energy) plus our participation in a chosen format equals manifestation. Ok... so, the chosen format would be like ritual magic or folk magic or wish magic or sigil magic, any format that uses the energy of magic to achieve a desired outcome or manifestation. I hope that's clearer than mud.
@@lyamchristopher2393 an example would any form of operation to achieve an outcome. Sigil magic, candle magic, wish magic are good examples because of their simplicity. Magic plus a format (the method of magic) equals manifestation. The idea of putting the problem of simplification into mathematical terms has to do with removing everything that creates an obstacle to sucess. I hope I explained it ok enough so it's clearer than mud.
I think i understand your point, but this small perspective view point is very natural is it not? Its connected to the polarity principle and it's moving a person to act on his belief.. if you have a non literal perspective you can be lost in it and even be in a psychosis from internal paradoxes..
@@lyamchristopher2393 i agree, but this insanity is also in non duel perspective is it not? I see internal paradox in every perspective.. if try to be as grounded as possible this world seems funny, cruel, beautiful, and crazy all at the same time..
