Many people approach metaphysics and the paranormal simply because they want to see something strange and unusual happen — and as such, they do so without any safeguards, protection or clarity about what they will and will not allow into their space. Using a Ouija board as a party game and attempting to contact spirits is a prime example. As an analogy, the way many people approach this would be a lot like going into a random chatroom online, giving your home address to the first anonymous person you see, and inviting them into your house to ask them pressing questions about your life. Once you give explicit permission to any entity that feels like entering your space, you may well end up with something that doesn’t want to leave.

If there’s a genuine desire to pursue these subjects, it’s always good to do research and learn from the experiences of those who have been there already — especially those whose mistakes you can learn from.

Another side of this subject is people with a bit more experience whose arrogance takes them in an unhealthy direction. An arrogant personality who believes nothing bad can happen to them, and spiritual practice, can be a recipe for disaster. Online forums for instance, are filled with people who think they know a lot more than they actually do, and who believe they’re capable of more than they are. Negative entities are experts at stroking one’s ego for the purpose of manipulation. I have known people who came to believe they could “control” spirits — and as a matter of policy I distance myself from those people, quickly. Why? Because as soon as you fall into the trap of trying to control other free willed beings, you step onto a playing field where you’ve already given full permission to be manipulated and controlled by something that has a lot more experience at that game than you do. It’s not going to turn out well.

Arrogance and recklessness are two of many possible imbalanced personality traits that can be exploited by manipulative entities. Much like the addictions discussed in the last post, increasingly grandiose ego-boosts can become like a drug that negs are only too happy to provide. Seeking one’s next “fix” then begins to override the protective functions of logic and reason, intuition and common sense. Metaphysics and spiritual practices can add whole new levels of meaning to our lives – but could potentially lead one down a dangerous road if not approached in a respectful, responsible and balanced way.

The next post in this series will elaborate on possible pitfalls for newly awakening seekers and those who discover some natural metaphysical ability.
