is that why people aim to open chakras and stuff like that?
gpt
Yeah. Opening is just a board key word tho. Think of it like oiling a door or cleaning a pipe.

this is pretty interesting,is there anywhere i can read about it?or maybe its better to ask how were you able to know this

You can read almost any book on it but honestly, most of the time books are meaningless for starters. Without experience, you can't actually understand it. Think of it like explaining someone that doesn't know water, what a hydropump is. So best start meditation first then read.

Julius Evola's books are pretty systematic. Initiation into Hermetics of Franz Bardon gives a good technical view on spirituality in general. You can find similar books too, if you look around.

Most of my knowledge comes from experimentation but it's a dangerous territory for some. I suggest reading Carl Jung. His books give very good insight on how to keep sanity when working with this stuff.

how do you know if its your imagination or if its actually real?every time i try to do this kind of stuff i think its just my imagination

At first, you actually can't tell and always doubt if you are losing your mind. 

In time; you become happier, can cope with heat and cold better like monks, have a more focused mind, feel younger, feel smarter etc. These subtle changes actually what makes people go on with it. 

This continues for few years, until you can actually understand it. At one point you become able to use diffirent 'supernatural' abilities, see energy, manipulate it, etc. At this stage, you can easily manipulate some aspects of the outside world and use remote viewing, astral projection stuff easily. At that point you actually believe and get deeper into it.
