Exploring occult arts and esotericism independently: are there risks or limits?

[Goldlead5]

Hi everyone,
Knowing that Satan supports free knowledge, I've recently started reading about Western esotericism and occultism not exclusively from the JoS website but also from different sources (e.g. John Dee's Monas Hieroglyphica).

I am perfectly aware that JoS's knowledge is the only one whose truthfulness is guaranteed, but what are the risks in reading historic occultism books (like the one mentioned above) or exploring new esoteric practices? Could it be somehow disrespectful? And finally, are there topics or techniques one should avoid learning about?
Thanks in advance.

(Sorry for my English, for it's not my first language)

Mainly focus on JoS, while be aware of others.

While you advance in wisdom and spiritually, after a point you will be able to see for yourself what is false and what is true in other doctrines.

You want to see it by yourself, so focus on JoS and grow, if you do this, will see how much truth is there.

Because of your own efforts to make your way up, to be able to understand by yourself.

It is not that there is something else that we don't want you to know about. It is that there are many lies, curses, and dangerous things and we do not want you to hurt yourself by following those lies. We don't want you to become confused, injured, or cursed by following all kind of bad things. Don't waste your time and don't hurt yourself.

 

[AFODO]

There are many risks yes.

For example you read a big lie, or some imaginary stuff like that "the soul has an animal aspect, and everyone has a different animal, and it is very beneficial to awake this animal" or anything like this, any you'll be surprised that we never talked about this, and than you'll be confused, start to question the JoS.

Yes it is okay to question anything, the problem is that you'll be confused and it will probably have a bad effect on your spiritual life.

The best you can do is to ask Satan to lead you to valuable information that you need to know. And don't be surprised if you end up in the Library of Thoth.
