I read that we should avoid right side of the brain activities, like listening to music, artwork, video games, and mentally drifting. This writes on this site:https://www.templeofzeus.org/Undesirable.html

Why we should avoid listening to the music and playing video games?

Ave Zeus!

The context is psychic self-defense.

Other effective methods of psychic self-defense include grounding oneself. Get physical, indulge yourself physically, watch something funny and lighthearted on the TV, and just turn your mind away from magick and the occult for a while. It is also a good thing to meet with friends- anything to focus on the physical world and forget the astral. When our minds are preoccupied and focused on something of interest, even the most determined spirit will have a hard time getting through. Avoid right side of the brain activities, like listening to music, artwork, video games, and mentally drifting.

Psychic self-defense aside, there has to be balance in all things.

We should not avoid listening to music and video games or other similiar activities - yes, excess is bad, as it is with other things.

In conclusion, balance is the key.

I'm baffled that you're even able to misunderstand it like this. Obviously, this was written in relation to defending against astral attacks. The very page you read it on is about that specific topic, and not as some general advice. Avoiding right-brained activities can help to leave you less focused on the astral.

Noone is to avoid right-brained activities in a general sense, just like left-brained ones. Both are necessary in order to stay healthy.
 
Reread the passages. The context is important. It states to avoid these activities to ground yourself and improve focus. That’s the why. She’s not saying to abstain from these activities, but primarily doing these things and avoiding physical activity for long periods of time can make you feel disconnected and more open to enemy suggestion. It’s all about balance.
 
Nowhere does it say to do that forever, HPS Pythia says that if you want to temporarily "disconnect" from the astral to ground yourselfbyou should avoid those in that given moment.

There's other reasons for which you should avoid video games but that's another topic.
 
HPS Pythia is saying if and ONLY IF you are having problems with enemy attacks or attacks from unaffiliated spirits on the astral, engage yourself in exercise, athletics or sport, social activities, mindless things on TV (comedies, not things like horror, documentaries or anything too 'deep' or disturbing), or things in the real world that deal with pure processing, action or logic. Whatever is bothering you will get bored and go away.

Music (unless you are dancing or something like that), art, video games, daydreaming, aimless thinking and anything too right-brained, visual, psychic or abstract can be an opening when you are experiencing shitheads on the astral. When you understand how things like Neptune and its energies work you will understand this more fully. The advice is just temporary. Not a permanent rule.

Social activities in real life especially are the best way of shutting off and ignoring malignant entities. Plus most entities will not harass two or more humans.

A few people who experience endless attacks tend to not have real life friends.

This was written in the context of defending against unwanted entities. The writing implies that left-brained activities would distract your focus enough to prevent it from empowering the entity. A right-brained activity, like music, would not be a significant use of your focus, therefore intrusions by the entity would more easily distract you.
 
That is if you are dealing with an unwanted intruder on the spirit world not for everyone all the time. Trying to focus on the physical only would be tuning them out.

I dont see why any of these right brained activities would be bad though here. All of them seem like a way to tune something out on the spiritual if you put all your focus into it.

Insert emotional flip out. Insert dumbfoundness. Insert making myself feel better by putting you down. You wrote this on our groups? Seriously!??? A simple question?

All jokes a side. Void is good to conquer the mind, but fun is necessary as well. A balance of both.

Alright, now go kill yourself for writing this, ya dipshit you.
