Introduction
In part 3, I am going deeper into the manipulation of our reality from unseen realms. This may sound like conspiracy theory, I admit, but it isn’t based on speculation, rather, spiritual truths. My sources range from scripture and ancient writings (all traditions, from Mesoamerica, to ancient China), modern accounts of UAPs, cryptids and other high strangeness phenomena, personal experiences encountering various mythical beings from the unseen and finally direct revelation from divine source. What I am trying to do here, is to tie all strands together and create a theoretical, metaphysical framework, into which all of these different strands fit nicely.
I laid the groundwork, first by detailing the cosmological underpinnings of this universe and the various realms within it:

Then I recounted my own experience with an entity and what conclusions could be drawn from it:

After that, I started this series, exploring the spiritual and prehistoric origins of the Left, both in the spiritual and political sense:
Part1: The spiritual and prehistoric origins of the Left (substack.com)
Part2: The spiritual and prehistoric origins of the Left - Part 2 (substack.com)
With that introduction out of the way, let’s jump right into the next topic: Possession.
The phenomenon of possession - and its implications
What is possession? A term that has been popularised by a host of movies and books, not to mention religious writings, it is remarkable how little is actually known about it. It is a phenomenon, that affects millions worldwide, yet it remains unacknowledged by science and medicine, with both just preferring to ignore it and overall, pretending it doesn’t exist.
Personal experiences
Now, I am no expert. There are exorcists and priests out there who know a lot more about the topic, than I do. My only brush with a possessed person was online, a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic, who was into black magic and sent curses my way, which did not affect me and my immediate family directly, due to divine protection, but it did have unfortunate effects on my wider family, with two sudden and unexpected deaths (an uncle and a great-uncle). A friend of mine was affected directly and there were several scary accidents and unfortunate emotional events (such as his wife filing for divorce) in his immediate family. So, I am well aware, from personal experience, that black magicians are out there and they can set demons upon people. Yet, divine protection exists and you can take precautions.
This person ended up in a mental institution several times. Even one of his psychiatrists thought he was possessed and his immediate family certainly did, attempting three exorcisms on him, unsuccessfully, mostly because he enjoyed the power the demons (or, most likely, Jinn, since he was a Muslim by birth and he mentioned his love for them and interest in them) gave him.
I also came across what I believe to a malevolent entity once, which I recounted in my trip to the underworld post. However the entity wasn’t successful in influencing or latching on to me and subsequently I managed to drive it away completely, using a spiritual protection and/or warfare method. I am actually convinced, that these are essential and they should be taught to everyone, especially if they are spiritually inclined. Closed off people, who are entirely materialistic and show no interest in the spirit realm are usually fine, because they are of no use or interest to spirits, but this can easily change if they take psychedelics and I am convinced that many so-called psychotic or schizophrenic episodes, often drug-induced are really just spirit possession. I will explain why I came to that conclusion by the end.
The Metaphysics of Possession
There are two worlds, from our perspective. The physical world and the spirit world. We are present in both, spirits are only present in one. Normally, we are shut into a physical body and cannot experience being in spirit alone. Exceptions occur during deep sleep, when we might leave our bodies. If you’ve ever dreamt about floating or flying above unknown landscapes, that’s what’s happening. People might also leave their bodies temporarily, due to an accident, which can simply knock them out of their bodies. In such cases, you end up floating above your physical body, still tethered to it, somewhat helpless as you cannot move easily about. I was in this situation once, after slipping in a bathtub and hitting my head. Just to turn around, I had to flail my arms and legs vigorously and the outside, physical world, looked and sounded distant, as if sensory phenomena were coming at me through a medium of water. Then when I returned to my body, it felt like I was shrinking and was swirling and whirling down a drain, like a genie returning to its bottle. Once back inside my body, it felt like a prison of flesh, incredibly constraining and claustrophobic.
There are also full-blown NDEs (Near-Death-Experiences), where people actually die for several minutes and are taken to another realm. There is a bright light, going through a tunnel and people are greeted by loved ones who have passed away before them. Usually, there is a decision involved to return to their bodies to complete a specific task. Very often, they are greeted by a religious figure commensurate with their beliefs, who passes wisdom and guidance down to them. Some people also experience hellish realms, especially if they’ve led self-destructive or evil lives. They see demons, of the sort that I described in my trip to the underworld, with a goat-man or other type of chimera being common. Upon their return, they usually take it as a warning and start to reform themselves.
It is important to note, that whilst I have termed the entirety of the non-physical world as the spirit world, it isn’t just one realm and is made of many different ones, which are usually described in layers or circles. Some are hellish realms, others are part of the heavens and there are realms which are in between, much like ours. The vast majority of these are non-physical and can only be visited in spirit or in our astral / subtle bodies, so to speak. Hindus and Buddhists note dozens of different ones and these are differentiated from each other in terms of spiritual refinement. We simply don’t know what the physical explanation of these different realms are, but looking for them in the dark matter / energy spectrum, might yield some scientific explanations one day. I suspect we are centuries away from that happening.
The closest realms to us are the so-called lower astral ones. By close I mean, that they vibrate to a frequency that is very close to ours, in the sense that our very universe or reality vibrates at a set frequency and the reason we cannot normally interact with other realities, is due to them being on different frequencies. Physicist Michio Kaku explains it well in this video:
Michio Kaku - Parallel Universes (youtube.com)
Accordingly, crossing over between universes that are close to each other in frequency is relatively easy and there are physical points of intersection, called thin places, where this might happen routinely. Such places seem to yield a reliable supply of cryptid and UAP sightings. A reader, who lives near Mt Shasta mentioned it as one of these spots on the planet. I suspect there is one near where I live, in a beautiful, sub-alpine suburb of my town, Sopron. There is an erstwhile Carmelite monastery on the spot, now a hotel and spiritual retreat, a favourite of Viktor Orbán, who brings the whole government here for a few days every year:
The church attached to it is still functional. It is dedicated to the Queen of Heaven aspect of the Holy Mother, the one I feel closest to personally. The church itself is called the Queen of Heaven church and there is a large mural on the side wall, showing her in all her glory. There is also a smaller, but more famous fresco showing the Archangel Michael defeating Satan, with the interesting detail, that Satan has Stalin’s face. See for yourself:
This was done during the height of Stalinism and the artist was taking a huge risk doing that, it would have been considered a counterrevolutionary, clerical and fascist act at the time, certain to put you in jail or a gulag. Thankfully, the authorities never noticed, but the Carmelite nuns were evicted in 1950. This remains the only painting in the world, which depicts Stalin on a church wall, let alone as the devil incarnate, in a literal sense. Under the Queen of Heaven Church, there is an entire maze of unexplored caves, which were used to initiate nuns, and before that Pauline monks.
Right next to the monastery, is a World War I military cemetery, which is home to the remains of over 3000 fallen soldiers from 20 different nations.
People who live in the streets near this spot are so used to extranormal phenomena, that they hardly notice it any more. Doors and windows keep opening and shutting randomly, along with drawers. Strange noises can be heard sometimes, lightbulbs flicker, then go out, many have seen apparitions and ghosts. You can definitely feel that other realm intersecting with our own here.
Lower astral realms and types of possession
The lower astral realm, being so close to our own is also where many mythological creatures, cryptids and so forth, dwell. Padre Pio described some of his encounters with demons, who plagued him his whole life, due to the danger he represented to these entities and their hold over our reality. For instance, he noted, that "These devils don't stop striking me, even making me fall out of bed. They even tear off my shirt to beat me." Note, that he is talking about devils and not demons here, probably a deliberate choice. He wanted to emphasize the physicality of these beings, who most probably also possess physical bodies of a type, but just outside the spectrum of reality we can perceive, most likely in a parallel reality intersecting our own, in a hidden dimension, or trapped between the space in two realities, like the Jinn. Whatever the case may be, physical encounters and altercations with such entities are a common occurrence. Scratches and other bruises are common, those attacked can often hear footsteps, scurrying, there are certain foul smells reported, a drop in the temperature of the room is very common, etc…
I will try to explain this to a way that makes sense to a Western reader, who perhaps doesn’t believe in the existence in such entities, which is understandable, if they’ve never encountered one, but is open to the possibility of non-human intelligences interacting with us.
Using scientific terms that most of us are familiar with, what we are dealing with here are interdimensional entities. Their reality is close to ours, but they can move into ours for short periods and manifest, so to speak, but they cannot stay here for long, as their base frequency is incompatible with our own. It is not known, from a scientific perspective, how their reality might relate to ours. The most likely explanation to me, is that their reality might parallel ours, in a sort of inverse fashion, in that everything exists over there, but theirs is a mirror universe of ours. This is just a hunch and it may be something else entirely. If anyone has ideas or input, I am happy to hear it.
The point is, that the beings that are involved in possession generally have a physical aspect to them, which may be confusing, since it doesn’t make sense that a physical being can possess another. I am deliberately avoiding using the term Demon here, as that comes from the Greek word for spirit, which may be confusing in this context.
Let us define what possession is first of all. It refers to an act, whereby a non-physical entity gains control of a physical, biological life form, either temporarily or permanently. The hold of the non-physical entity isn’t complete and a person experiencing possession may go between periods of losing control and regaining it. There seems to be some overlap with psychiatric conditions like schizophrenia and multiple personality disorder (now known as dissociative identity disorder), though the exact relationship between these is unclear. Exorcists of the Roman Catholic rite insist on a psychiatric assessment before any exorcism, as these conditions can be confused with possession. In my mind, the difference can easily be discerned, when extranormal, unexplainable phenomena are involved, such as levitation, speaking in unfamiliar tongues, including extinct languages, mysterious scratches and bruises, poltergeist and so forth.
Possession rarely happens out of the blue, it usually involves an invitation of some sort, in the form of rituals, objects, occult acts, such as playing with a Ouija board, the use of drugs and psychedelics, unnatural sexual acts, sexual abuse or ritual abuse. It is important to note, that the body possesses a natural defence system to keep out uninvited visitors. These can be significantly weakened and overcome by entities through the above methods. There are also people who use the above methods to trap someone for the sake of an entity and induce possession artificially. Books have been written about how such people can become useful intelligence assets, though I cannot verify whether any of this is accurate, so I won’t mention names.
There is also another type of possession, deity possession, which is a high-level practice in Eastern religions, particularly tantra. There, the aim is to embody the deity for a short time or even longer, so as to allow the deity to pass on teachings and blessings to others, whilst at the same time, the practitioner takes on some of the characteristics and the shakti (energy) of the deity, considerably accelerating their path to enlightenment and liberation. In other cases, positive or neutral entities are invited in to provide prophecy. This was the method used in ancient Greece among the oracles of Delphi and is still practiced in Tibet today. Such possession is voluntary, the entity in question is generally benevolent or neutral and the effect is temporary.
The subtle mechanics of possession
Now let’s move on to the mechanics of possession. For this, we have to turn to yogic philosophy again, as that is the tradition, which provides the most detailed explanation as to the exact process. I mentioned the astral or subtle physical body in a previous post. This body is primarily sustained by chakras and nadis. Chakras are wheels of energy, whereas the nadis are meridians through which energy flows, invisibly to our physical senses and scientific instruments, but largely overlapping with the nervous system and specific nerve clusters. Everyone has these, they are not unique to any particular group of people as they are a part of our biological makeup. The most important one for our purposes, is called the Muladhara or base chakra, located at the base of the spine, slightly above the perineum. From a microcosmic point of view, the crown chakra is our connection to higher realms, such as the heavens, whereas the base chakra connects us to lower realms, including the hell realms. It is also the chakra that stores the seed energy we took with us when we incarnated in this body. This energy is called Kundalini Shakti, referring to the fact, that it is coiled, like a sleeping snake. Yogis and Tantriks ceaselessly work on raising this energy to the crown, whereby enlightenment, liberation and union with the Godhead can be achieved. This is called a rising Kundalini process. However, there is an inverse of this rising process, which is called reverse Kundalini. In the Kundalini rising process, seed energy and particularly sexual energy, including semen in men, is subsumed and transmuted, turning into a higher form of divine energy, whereby it rises and streams up along the spine, into the brain, fuelling enlightenment.
In both tantra and yoga, practitioners go to great lengths to close off their anus, both energetically and physically, using various muscle tensing and breathing methods, with Mula Bandha being the most famous. This averts the escape of sexual energy (libido, as Freud called it) and forces it to turn upwards at the base of the spine, thus enabling the practitioner to energize and transform their various subtle bodies.
In reverse Kundalini process, the opposite happens. Usually the anus is opened up forcefully, either physically, spiritually or both at the same time. This is why the universal prohibition on anal sex in every major religion makes a lot of sense from the spiritual perspective. Forced anal entry, both in terms of the spiritual and physical is the primary method by which any outside entity can gain entry into the energetic and physical system of a person. Usually, this is done to steal energy. Shakti or seed energy, can be stolen directly from the muladhara, but when the reverse kundalini process is initiated during forced anal entry, energy from the brain streams down in a great explosion and is absorbed by the penetrating entity through the anal cavity. Energy can also be absorbed through the birth canal in the case of women as it is located right next to the anal cavity, but that is slightly less effective than anal entry.
This is the great secret behind the raper-rapist dynamic in prisons, during war and in society in general. It isn’t just about sexual gratification, rather it is literally about gaining power, by absorbing psychic energy from the victim. A common trick entities might use to gain power in this manner is to possess a willing or unwitting host and use them as a conduit to steal the energy of others. This is particularly true of those, that target children. Often, the result is an empty shell of a human being, with no defences against the demonic. Such people can end up possessed themselves and generational possession can also occur, where the sexual abuse and thus the entities behind it are passed on through successive generations.
Some entities don’t need a conduit in terms of a human being they influence to do their bidding. They can latch on to the root chakra of an individual, that has weakened defences, especially if they already engage in unnatural sex acts, take psychedelics or are involved in the occult. The latter part is important as it takes me back to the topic of vibrational compatibility. Those that invoke entities from the lower astral, those that are closest to us in terms of their base frequency, absorb some of that energy and become tainted themselves. To use a gastronomic term, they become tasty to the demonic, they acquire an imprint that is attractive to such entities. Generational child abuse is a typical way by which such an imprint is acquired, but like I said, there are many other ways to become “tasty” in such a manner.
The counterpart to this is becoming godly. Through prayer, devotion and spiritual practice, any individual can move their base frequency rate up, towards divinity and the frequency of heaven. The frequency of lower astral realms is so low, that they are generally dark and dim, perhaps with a reddish glow. Black absorbs light and red is the colour of fire and blood, therefore these are associated with these lower realms. As you move up the spectrum, you end up with pure, undifferentiated, white light which removes all vestiges of ignorance and darkness.
The best protection against demonic possession is therefore living a life of devotion, prayer, selflessness and spiritual practice. Meditation is a great tool, because it can teach you how to move your base frequency up the spectrum and become unattractive to, even entirely incompatible with the demonic. Of course precautions must still be taken, there are prescribed protection methods that one must perform before each meditative session, which can vary between traditions. However, once a person is advanced enough in terms of mastering their soul, body and spirit, no entity, however malevolent, can harm them.
At this point, I also have to circle back to the chakras. Note, that each of them are like mini-wormholes, also called quantum fields. They are swirling vortices of energy, in a non-physical medium, most likely fluidic in nature, or perhaps air-like, so they resemble hurricanes and tornadoes. Their ends connect to other realities, each reality ruled by a specific deity in the yogic system, but they can also connect to the demonic, if the conditions I listed earlier are present. The below Yogic drawing shows how each deity rules over a separate chakra, each one being a gateway to the realm they rule over:
Although there are six or seven main chakras, there are additionally hundreds of side chakras, that are lesser known. All of them can be used by a different entity to gain access to the same person, a bit like in this famous depiction of Neo from the movie The Matrix:
Each access point can be used by a different entity to control a person from another reality and they can fight with each other for dominance. This is often what happens in the case of Schizophrenia or Multiple personality disorder. Even though the diagnosis is purely mental. Multiple personalities can be layered and each personality can be controlled by a different demon. This is often what happens during generational trauma or abuse, which can split someone’s mind into multiple personalities. Remember, the mind is not just the brain, our thoughts, emotions and memories are present all over the subtle body and typically, they are regulated or stored by the chakras. A common experience yogis have, when shakti starts rising in their spine, is that as the energy hits each chakra, memories, traumas, even past life memories resurface in a vivid fashion and must be dealt with, for the yogi to be able to progress towards the path of enlightenment and liberation.
Summary
We can draw the following conclusions from the information I revealed to you above:
Possession is the primary tool of manipulation malevolent entities have in our world.
Nevertheless, examples exist, where possession is used as a positive tool, by oracles, or by mystics, in order to accelerate their path to liberation or to better serve the deity they worship. In such cases, possession is voluntary, whilst in most cases the possessed person is a helpless victim.
Through possession, events in our world can be manipulated by malevolent entities from the lower astral. It is an open secret, that top Nazis were possessed, due to their dabbling in the occult, via the Thule society.
It is likely, that possession remains a potent tool in the hand of demonic. We may lack concrete proof, but the signs are everywhere and unmistakable. Demonic entities place their symbols and sigils all over popular culture, through people they possess or influence subconsciously. This is particularly common in art, where it is the norm, rather than the exception. Some creative types are also knowingly and openly involved in the occult. Marilyn Manson and a slew of Heavy Metal bands would be obvious examples. However, looking at the body of work that film directors like Stanley Kubrick, Roman Polanski and the Wachowski Brothers (now sisters) have produced, the conclusion, that they must be in the know and are initiates into these mysteries, is inescapable.
Generational trauma remains an important tool in the hands of the demonic, especially in terms of generational child abuse, thus passing the baton from one generation to the next. A person with split personalities will be especially easy to dominate as each personality can be controlled by a different demon, through a different chakra. Note, that the demon does not need to actually enter the body, their control is through the interdimensional gateway or opening, that a chakra can provide, under the right conditions.
In order to avoid any misunderstanding, this does not in any way suggest, that chakras, nadis or the human energetic system is in any way evil or diabolical. They are part of our basic makeup, everyone has them. They are simply access points, through which a trained person can access any realm they wish, but it’s also a two-way door and if somebody neglects to lock the door behind them, so to speak, malevolent entities can take advantage of the opening to enter. Generally, this is done through the lower chakras, due to vibrational compatibility. The higher chakras, especially the crown, are for heaven. They are how heaven communicates with us, through spiritual, artistic, religious and scientific inspiration.
Sexual acts are perhaps the most common way the demonic can enter into a person. This is the best way to access the two lower chakras, which regulate our connection to the earth and lower realms, but also regulate sexual function and are potent batteries of psychic and sexual energy, that entities can absorb from their end of the quantum field (typically, from the back).
Important to note: the Left Hand Path in tantra does not typically endorse any of this, though there are important exceptions, in the form of black magic practitioners. In the West however, things are rather different. The new age movement was born out of Theosophy, which gave rise to a revival of pre-Christian pagan beliefs. Occultists, like Aleister Crowley, took the teachings of eastern tantra and twisted them to suit their own agendas, so in the West at least, the Left hand Path has been turned into a tool of the diabolic and demonic. Not in every case, mind you, but certainly, it is the dominant strand.
As the Left hand path made important strides in western society, leading to a pagan and occult revival, it became dominant in high society in the pre-war period. Badly translated works from the east led to many misunderstandings and cultural misappropriation. Pagan and Witchcraft tradition were revived, the gaps filled in from whatever rudimentary work on eastern practices people of the time could get their hands on. This unholy union and a mishmash of different traditions led to tragic results. The Nazis were the most enthusiastic adopters of these bastardized traditions, but despite the demise of National Socialism, it spread to other parts of the world and popped up in different forms, giving rise to a slew of cults and unmoored spiritual movements. With the West rejecting traditional Christianity, people’s hunger for spirituality and meaning in their lives, was often satiated by these movements.
The problems that can and often do lead to possession, such as unnatural sex acts and generational child abuse aren’t specifically a problem of the left hand path, in fact, right-hand religions have been just as guilty in allowing it to happen and protecting perpetrators. Possession, oppression and demonic influence is a problem all over society today.
The best protection is to not vibrate to the frequency of the demonic. Easier said, than done, but everyone can practice basic spiritual hygiene. Each of us has to be aware of undue influences and consciously notice where it may try to take hold of us, often through temptation. That said, full-blown possession is relatively rare and often involves an intergenerational conspiracy of silence, or an institution that was specifically designed to serve the needs of the demonic.
Protective methods
I mentioned some of these already. Devotion, prayer, spiritual discipline, strengthening the mind through meditation, these all help. One must also exercise basic common sense. Ritual objects, such as statues, idols, amulets can serve as conduits for possession. Crystals are particularly dangerous and I have encountered cases, where fortune tellers give a crystal to an unsuspecting customer, which has been cursed. The person then experiences great misfortune and demonic oppression. The witch will only remove the curse in exchange for an outrageous sum of money, but those who can, always pay up. Such scams even exist in the US today, though they are even more common in the third world. Involving a priest is always the best course of action, if you suspect you may have been cursed and / or suffering from demonic oppression and possession.
Demons fear the Holy Mother the most and all expressions of the feminine side of God, from whatever faith. I will explain why, in a subsequent post, through a Hindu text, which talks of a time when demons overran the world (this was well before written history) and it took several manifestation of the Divine Feminine to defeat it.
In any case, in the Christian context, this prayer is the most helpful to remove demonic influence:
The Mother of God is The Queen of Heaven
- which is used frequently by exorcists themselves.
I was only able to give a cursory look into the phenomenon of possession and sexual predation here, this would obviously require a book-length treatment. My aim was to expose the hidden dynamics behind this phenomenon and hopefully, you had several epiphanies and aha moments whilst reading this. You can read Fr Gabriele Amorth’s books if you want to dig deeper, at least if you’re interested in the Roman Catholic point of view.
There was a lot of good info in here. I'm really curious to know more about the Divine Feminine and Blessed Mother, especially from someone who is not a professing Christian.
And I love that you included a section about the Theosophists taking rituals and beliefs from eastern religions and bastardizing them, which is my big beef with the New Age. When I studied Hinduism (and Buddhism) academically, there was always an emphasis on temporarily accepting (for the goal of understanding) the entire epistemological worldview of the cultures and religions we were studying. So I've always had a problem with problem with people picking and choosing what they "like" or what "resonates" from completely different cultures and using them to form their own "individual spirituality." I don't think it really works like that (though it seems you have an understanding of the mystical workings animating various religions while showing much respect to each tradition, I'm guessing that understanding was hard-won from your OBEs). If you want to worship Krishna or Ganesh then immerse yourself totally in that specific tradition, don't go to a kirtan then charge your crystals in the moonlight and then meditate on your chosen Native American goddess and think you're going to get lasting profound insights. That is capitalist individualistic culture masquerading as spiritual discipline. Devotion, growing in virtue, self-denial, knowledge, humility, prayer, fasting are all important but they need to be grounded in tradition and wisdom for most people to grow closer to God, and for spiritual safety. The problem is most people don't think they're "most people" and fancy themselves as part if the left-hand path.
This may not be my best question, but it it the one that keeps coming to me as almost a barrier when I read this article, so I will ask it first.
As a woman, penetration is not something I generally think of as bad. For me, it is God given (but at the right time). I have no desire for anal sex, I feel sure vaginal is better and not physically dangerous like anal, e.g. fissures, etc., so that is what I mean. But the article says the "birth canal" is close to the anal canal and can be used. Agreed it is used in rape ,by the way. What is more regarding penetration, people take enemas, sometimes under a doctor, sometimes at home. They also have colonoscopies (oddly, I'm told I almost died at my last one - I will not have another - because my blood pressure plummeted). So I do not see that all penetration is bad, not as hurting my spirit. Of course, penetration by an object that is too large is bad. I've read detailed descriptions in crime novels about techniques that can be used to stretch the anus somewhat before penetration. I will spare the details.
So for me there is good penetration and bad. Pain = bad. Promiscuous = bad. Self-medicine, I supposed, could be bad. But sex = good. Gynecological and protocological exams = good. (Oh, catheterization is the worst, the trauma and incident of forced catheterization a child will not leave me. Done voluntarily I guess it is OK.)
I am rethinking the question of whether gay promiscuity is more harmful that heterosexual promiscuity. I still think the latter is worse due to more potential to harm women and children, but I've been challenged a lot regarding my views of gay sex and of course gay adoption deprives kids of two complementary role models (I do not think I will ever come to stand in condemnation of a private monogamous non-hurtful act between two consenting adults, however. And transgender poses the greatest threat of all to children and they are not to be taught about it.)
You likely know that with me and with pretty much every Western person of Christian background, you are going to get someone who believes in good and bad. ( Circumstance counts: take a properly prescribed pain pill, for example, but no other narcotic.) Trying to conceptualize Left hand as "sometimes bad" is interesting. However, already I want to move all non-harmful sex to the right hand and all harmful sex to the left hand, in my mind.
Again, with many gay friends in life and two very, very close ones, I know their left had path activities, though both also did a lot with the right. Even if I asked, for example, "Can I go to a sweat lodge?" or "Could you get me some mushroom?" they basically forbade it. I thought maybe they had a trace of misogyny or heterophobia (opposite of homophobia) but I think now they were keeping me on my path. Both say they took a "ladder" to deep spirituality. Rod has explained this a lot. I wish people would leave him be. After some left hand stuff (e.g. LSD) and then leaving that path, of course he wants more info than average about these things, and it is up to him to stop when and if led to do so.
