Exploring occult arts and esotericism independently: are there risks or limits?

[Goldlead5]

Hi everyone,
Knowing that Satan supports free knowledge, I've recently started reading about Western esotericism and occultism not exclusively from the JoS website but also from different sources (e.g. John Dee's Monas Hieroglyphica).

I am perfectly aware that JoS's knowledge is the only one whose truthfulness is guaranteed, but what are the risks in reading historic occultism books (like the one mentioned above) or exploring new esoteric practices? Could it be somehow disrespectful? And finally, are there topics or techniques one should avoid learning about?
Thanks in advance.

Mainly focus on JoS, while be aware of others.

While you advance in wisdom and spiritually, after a point you will be able to see for yourself what is false and what is true in other doctrines.

You want to see it by yourself, so focus on JoS and grow, if you do this, will see how much truth is there.

Because of your own efforts to make your way up, to be able to understand by yourself.

It is not that there is something else that we don't want you to know about. It is that there are many lies, curses, and dangerous things and we do not want you to hurt yourself by following those lies. We don't want you to become confused, injured, or cursed by following all kind of bad things. Don't waste your time and don't hurt yourself.

There are many risks yes.

For example you read a big lie, or some imaginary stuff like that "the soul has an animal aspect, and everyone has a different animal, and it is very beneficial to awake this animal" or anything like this, any you'll be surprised that we never talked about this, and than you'll be confused, start to question the JoS.

Yes it is okay to question anything, the problem is that you'll be confused and it will probably have a bad effect on your spiritual life.

The best you can do is to ask Satan to lead you to valuable information that you need to know. And don't be surprised if you end up in the Satan's Library.

If you read historical texts, the #1 risk is becoming disappointed because those old books, especially those that are judeo-Christian based, are much inferior to modern stuff from JoS and contain almost nothing useful in terms of practical techniques.

I've done something similar myself, I read the "Three Books of Occult Philosophy" by Cornelius Agrippa expecting to find some hidden practical knowledge. I read all the 3 books and I was very disappointed. Even New Age stuff is better and more practical than Agrippa. It's just outdated nonsense written by someone who merely collected knowledge from other sources, as there's no evidence that Agrippa practiced any magick himself.

Most of it is full of hebrew bullshit, enemy angelic crap and Christian anti-Demon nonsense.

And finally, are there topics or techniques one should avoid learning about?

Everything jewish/hebrew or Christian-based, like the qabalah or enemy grimoires that were used to abuse the Demons and everything that is full of angel stuff or has to do with enemy beings. John Dee's writings being an example, it's just "angelic magick".

There's nothing wrong with learning what the enemy does in order to avoid it, what's bad is trying to use enemy angel magick or trying to abuse our Demons using grimoire techniques, or vibrating enemy "god" names in Hebrew.

Generally, if you want to study stuff outside of JoS, Eastern Esotericism (like Qigong/Esoteric Taoism and Tantra) is safer than Western Esotericism. Western Esotericism is filled with Jewish/Christian crap and treating our Demons as if they are slaves.
