Many have such a strong desire to attain altered states of consciousness that they are willing to try different methods without fully understanding the risks involved.
An altered state of being that involves connecting to one’s higher self or oversoul to gain insights is usually safe and often beneficial.
An altered state where one has two-way communication with beings from other planes of existence, while remaining anchored in a high frequency and in control of one’s faculties, requires some caution and protective measure but carries an acceptable level of risk depending on one’s maturity.
An altered state where one allows an outside entity to enter, control, or even possess oneself is fraught with danger and ill-advised, especially for the spiritually uninitiated.
Twilight Lady, a graphic novel series I wrote and illustrated about an ancient warrior spirit residing within a young woman, explores the potential gain and pitfalls involving each of these scenarios.
