Deity Yoga

[Fahari]

I am aware of Buddhism and the enemy influence in it's doctrines but there's practice in Vajrayana Buddhism Deity Yoga that if someone with more insight on it could please expound more.
It's a practice where you visualize a deity and gradually move from seeing them as external to a kind of co-presence — not full identification like "I am this deity" but more like you and the deity occupying the same space simultaneously. The technical term is Deity Yoga (lha'i rnal 'byor), and there's a specific stage called yuganaddha that describes this non-dual union without one side collapsing into the other. Like opening your psych towards the deity's current

What got me thinking about this is that I've had direct contact with my daemon — seen the form, felt the quality — and I've been wondering whether holding that memory and meditating into that same kind of co-presence would be a valid practice to ease communication, or whether it risks sliding into something more like obsession or grand delusions,

I see no problem with this practice if it's used in the context of Zevism.
