The Dangers of Exploring Consciousness Paradigms

Meditation, on the whole, seems fairly benign at best, but comes with quite a bit of research that says it’s helpful. You rarely hear people say, it can come with dangers. Just practicing mindfulness exercises, being involved with thinking about consciousness on a daily basis, whether it’s UFOs, ghosts, magic rituals, and or mild exercises that lead to the increase chances of having lucid dreams or out of body experiences can result in some crazy conscious experiences that may cause you to question your reality and sanity!

Not to say I want you to worry. It’s not like cultivating these experiences will kill you. Pretty sure. I mean, we don’t hear from those folks who died in a dream, or because that vampire sitting on your chest was actually a ghost and not sleep paralysis, or those shadow people that you ignored once to often got irritated with you and took you out.

Lots of folks advise people not to take up Ouija Boards. There is even a disclaimer at the Tulpa Website advising people with mental health problems to consider not engaging!

I am of the opinion if these strange, paranormal things are real, I would rather know them and take them on straight, as opposed to walking around with my head down in fear. Will I get squashed? Maybe. Eventually life takes us all out.
