>Is a human a coward for being frightened by a lion staring them down from across their hall? I practice chaos magick... all is belief. You must believe you are stronger, and these things excel in preventing the feeling of strength.

exactly. What's your mental process to prevent the loss of strength?

For me since I am so ardently focused on chaos I recognize that no matter the situation I am the strongest spirit. So, if a 'demon' were to approach me and tear me apart in that moment I would become the demon tearing myself apart. It is a switching of perspective. You are not your body, your mind, your thoughts... it is just a persistent illusion. All is one. You only die or are hurt when you identify with that which can be killed or experience pain.

But mostly it is just experience. You need to face the lion head on so many times before you can beat out your instinct to run. Dont get the wrong impression though, I am imperfect also, but it is what I have learned through experience.

are you in a plane of chaos when a demon approaches you?

Heh, believing yourself untearable becomes delusion when your body is split asunder. I identify with nothing and so I hold belief in nothing. Could it backfire? Depends on what you mean by that.

The question is - If you believed yourself untearable would it even split?

Wouldn't it be better to imagine yourself forming back together than to become the demon tearing you apart?

>Could it backfire? Depends on what you mean by that
IDK, what if you try to 'become the demon tearing yourself apart' and it doesn't work.

What if the mental process of 'becoming the demon tearing myself apart' makes you more prone to possession by said demon due to how this entire thing works (like you've imprinted on it in some way or vice versa)

It's more of a 'prevention is better than cure' kind of thing for me. I'd much rather take an approach where I believe I can't be harmed than I become the thing trying to harm me.

But maybe that is impossible, guess I'll find out. I'm going to start getting into the occult, gonna start off with the usual entry level stuff:
Introduction Into Hermetics
Kybalion
Agrippa's three books

What book would you recommend for Chaos/Sigil magic?

Try believing that and asking someone to stab you, tell me what happens. Perhaps the knife will bend and leave you unharmed, I have seen strange things happen for sure but that isn't a gamble I would want to take. I wont deny the possibility, only question the probability.

>Wouldn't it be better to imagine yourself forming back together than to become the demon tearing you apart?

You are misunderstanding... nothing can hurt you! You are all. If you are attacked by a demon you attack yourself.

I cannot be possessed because I become that which is possessing me, do you understand? I am the victim and the victor. Survival by osmosis. Become one with it.

>What book would you recommend for Chaos/Sigil magic?

All you need is Liber Null & Psychonaut and then experience.
