I wonder if Dark Servitors are mean in general

Not mean, no. Theyāre protective. Some guy he didnāt know tried to reach out and connect with him, and frankly he wasnāt too happy having a stranger on his porch - not 'cause heās grumpy, but 'cause his kids are inside.
LOL, silly analogy, but makes sense, right?

Yes it does, Frank. Yes it does.
That was the greatest analogy in the history of time.
Try opening a service on writing paid analogies.
Youāre a true artist.

I know iām late to the party, but I thought Iād say that Reiki isnāt really an energy that can be corrupted or polluted, nor can it harm people. Reiki is an entirely passive and benevolent energy. Whatever problems could have resulted may have been for different reasons.

But it certainly is a reason that adds to his disbelief and underlying thought that it is all a large scam.
As with most people, the mass of actual experience of others doesnāt really count, as he is still waiting to be personally shown, Only his opinions matter, because they hold true to him, you are all just a bit crazy.
but of course, you need your own proof right?
So lets see how these crazy people fall for my tricks (by offering a ācontrolā item), so ā i ā can directly prove how crazy they really are.

True.
I think there is a way to mess it up: by not doing reiki.
A lot of people/groups are teaching it and i guess some are probably scams.
If you end up with a technique where you use your own energy to heal someone, then I believe it can be harmful on the long run.

Well, what can I say. Canāt deny it. The testimonials will only power my faith for so long until I crave an unambiguous personal experience. Currently, Iām running on other peopleās testimonials and what I like to call āglimpsesā into this world. Where I canāt really tell whether itās for real or my mind is playing tricks on me.
But I prefer to stay hopeful.
Nooo that is genuinely not true. I actually do already believe it because I have close family members who have experienced (general spirituality) and I believe them.
My reason for offering the control item is because I believe that the human mind will see what it expects to see. There is no ulterior motive to shame or humiliate people.
Although upon second thought, if by ā i ', you mean my subconscious, it is possible. The lingering doubt that it is all a scam lies deep within my subconscious and he may very well have different motivations for the same action.
Iām often not sure about the motivation behind why I do certain things. But the best I can do is try to be honest and genuine in the moment of doing an action. So maybe youāre right, maybe youāre wrong. I try not to overthink things because it tends to spiral down into confusion like this.
Still, Iām not the kind of person who likes publicly humiliating people, even my enemiesā¦so I am inclined to believe that the motivations behind using a control item were for my own purposes rather than an ulterior motive to trick people.
Itās why I chose to reveal that it was a control item. It wouldnāt make much sense to reveal such a thing after my āattempt at deceptionā had failed.
I was just commenting,
not specifically engaging anything.
I said nothing offensive really, if i did,
my apologies.
I personally cannot understand why people think i am scamming anybody,
isnāt the dragon golem a free download?
Isnāt most of the stuff free and a lot have a general try before you buy, like the thor sigils/pendants, the whole of youtube etc.
I even personally āunderā write the descriptions to make it sound a lot less cooler than they are.
So how do you logically think its a scam, ?
Do you think everyone else here is āinā on it? Or have some worldwide shared delusion?
Or only your opinions are validā¦? that cant be because you went to school and follow the knowledge of what you were thought.
Maybe you are just locked into that thought then.
But then, how are the plants even scamming, are they also in on it?
I just cant see the complete thought process.
You have valid real people here sharing and talking, nobody is here to make you believe anything, I think they have already found their truths.
It is a valid experiment, no doubt.
But you are also āexperimentingā on your friends.
Its just all the other questions that one action raises.
Go ahead and experiment, but be respectful of the people around you.
Consider what would happen if your friend decided that he being the superior moral and higher intelligence, wishes to prove your stupidity by baiting and switching something in public for you.
Just sayingā¦ think about those around you and how your actions affect everyone.

No offence taken. It is very easy to misunderstand people over the internet so I prefer to give people the benefit of doubt.
Thatās the thing. My fears about it being a scam stem from the irrational part of my mind. They are not rational. Itās why Iām still here. I wouldnāt be here if I logically thought it was a scam.
Probably. I was an agnostic leaning towards atheist just a couple of years ago. It takes time for all that skepticism to dissolve.
And for that I am truly sorry. Iām not somebody who has a clear view of what is right or wrong.
And thatās the thing. Unless he outright insulted me, I personally wouldnāt be offended if this experiment was done on me. Thatās the only thing I can go by. I wouldnāt be insulted by it so I thought it was okay to do it on other people. All I can do is apologise and not repeat it. And Iāve never once thought about myself as a superior moral and higher intelligence. That is just not who I am. If anything, Iām a guy who doubts his own motivations when other people analyse my intentions.
If this is possible, pleaseā¦read my energy and intention. You would know that I am not lying or being disingenuous or trying to make people look stupid.
And looking back, my skepticism wasnāt even with whether the dragon was present or not. It was more about whether it can be sensed online and since there is a lot of confusion about this (Iāve seen other threads with a guy saying different things about dragons being depressed), I chose to conduct this experiment. Again, I am sorry for the offence caused and I saw no other way to conduct it.

My comment is completely independent of this āexperimentā (i think Dewbob trusts you and your work Captain, I think itās someone else he doesnāt trust).
Sometimes in my darker days I used to feel like maybe it was, indeed, a shared illusion. I donāt mean your work, I mean spirituality in general. Maybe itās a trick and we play make belief because itās better than to think that nothing in life actually matters and after a couple of years we die and then there is nothing else.
This is actually the main āfightā I have with my ego, a little voice nagging me to just stop and get on with stuff that is expected of me by society rather than spend time, energy and money on āthisā (again, your work included,.but not exclusively).
Ego dissolution + SLR (and other fields i guess) have helped me with this tremendously, and I havenāt had this sort of existential crisis for a couple of weeks now :D

This. You have managed to express what I have been struggling to verbalise all this time. It is not the genuineness that I doubt but the actual spirituality itself. Shared illusion as Monkey Owl so brilliantly put it. Thank you.
Still, even if it does turn out to be an illusion, itās still something I would like to experience. Either way, I have full faith that the experiences actually exist and that (disappointing as it may be) is still good enough for me.

You know yourself and your mind best, but I think the way to go forward is to ājust do itā.
Just listen to the fields, just make the overnight playlist, just put it on because you have nothing to lose etc.
The star exercise that OM posted here - just do it twice day each day. Like donāt even consider not doing it, just do it. Donāt give yourself the mental opportunity to back out. For me what works is to approach it like āIāll to this every day until X date, then when Iām there, Iāll reconsiderā. And then not think about it anymore, just take action. Itās actually easy because itās quick, just one exercise. The practice I did before was ~45-60 mins each day.
And thenā¦ as I said, I havenāt had this sort of existential crisis for weeks now which is probably my life time record. It all clearly works

I would like to do the Star exercise but Iām currently in a place where I cannot be close to nature and ground myself on grass (without wearing any shoes). Is it okay if I do it in my room?
