Before you discount that statement<br \/>\nas hyperbole, we have already put<br \/>\nforth that taking mind altering substances can be a key to magick. Few would<br \/>\nargue that drugs don\u2019t take a toll on the individual mentally and physically.<br \/>\nTo believe you can do these things without any ill effects is the epitome of<br \/>\nhubris. Like much in this book, Liber F is simply our take on practices that<br \/>\nhave been used for thousands of years and proven to work. Having the ability to<br \/>\nstick to a routine, calm your mind, and control impulsive thoughts goes a long<br \/>\nway in helping prevent addiction and other complications.<\/p>\n<p>It may seem incredulous,<br \/>\nbut doing magick can lead to bizarre and often self-destructive thought<br \/>\npatterns. To believe what the majority of society tells us simply does not<br \/>\nexist places stresses on the mind and tends to isolate an individual socially.<br \/>\nTo be constantly contemplating spiritual questions, (Why are we here? What is<br \/>\nthe nature of the universe? What is truth?) can lead to obsessive behaviors.<\/p>\n<p>We do not take this<br \/>\nlightly because we have lost friends to mental illness. While no hard data<br \/>\nexists, those who practice magick have noted that magi do seem to suffer from<br \/>\npsychological conditions more frequently than the general population. Consider<br \/>\nLiber F to be a vaccination against those maladies. In fact, a magus should<br \/>\nmake routine a priority in their day-to-day lives. So when you do occasionally<br \/>\nparticipate in activities far outside the norm, you can easily recover. This<br \/>\nwill make it that much easier to hold down a job, provide for loved ones, and keep<br \/>\nsocial ties outside your magical circle.<\/p>\n<p>Part of what sets Liber F<br \/>\napart from other courses of this kind is that it encourages the magus to start<br \/>\nworking with a group as soon as possible. Those who work in substance abuse<br \/>\ntreatment have proposed that the opposite of addiction is not abstinence, but<br \/>\nconnection. Those who have strong social bonds and favorable living conditions<br \/>\nare able to recover from addiction and are less likely to become addicted in<br \/>\nthe first place. This applies to other mental compulsions as well. EMK favors<br \/>\ngroup magick not only to create better magick, but so that each magus has the support<br \/>\nnetwork they need to prevent harm caused by the dangerous work of magick<br \/>\nitself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liber F.pdf Completing a course in Liber F, and continuing to practice these exercises, helps protect the individual from the perils of being a magus.
