EQUILIBRIUM

How much control can you possibly hope to exert within your reality when you can't control your own mind?

Forces are at work in and around our lives at all times, these forces encompassing everything from gravity to relationships to finances to spirituality. Amidst this tempest of forces we must strive to maintain an inner-equilibrium so that we may navigate this reality with clarity, awareness, and power.

In short.... we have to KEEP IT TOGETHER. We live in the world, whether we like it or not, so we must become masters of living in the world. Gaining control of your mind will enable you to avoid the all-to-common pitfalls that many occult/pagan practitioners deal with. Social anxiety, bi-polar disorders, depression, obsessive & compulsive behavioral patterns... the list goes on. You know who & what I'm talking about, sadly it is (like the Health struggles) an unfortunate cliché that all too often rings true.

I'm not saying that its going to be easy, or that these few bold words in my little book are going to overturn years of mental illness and social ineptitude, but what I AM saying is that you MUST get your mind under your control before you can realize your full potential, as a practitioner and as a human being.

Actually go talk to people... yes, that guy/girl is probably going to reject you, but fuck it, the planet is full of them, so keep trying (but don't make an ass out of yourself accosting everyone). Of course you might find that you aren't one of the "popular" people, deal with it, because in some circles YOU are center-stage (just don't let it go to your head). And that holds true for business just as much as relationships. If you have some behavioral or psychological issues try reading some books, examine yourself and your life, and if you can't get it together on your own then by the gods get some professional counseling, there's no shame in getting help, just don't rely on it exclusively.
