Aura of Protection, Prayer to Satan for Protection, and general self-maintenance - Mentally/Psychologically and Physically, as well as Spiritually. I read recently that Satan puts an Aura of Protection around dedicated individuals, as well. The chances are that you will receive mental harassment, such as worrying if you are a jew and whether or not Satan has accepted or rejected you, making up reasons and excuses as to why you shouldn't meditate (which has happened already, so that would be a big one probably) and procrastinating, with some other interruptions, such as being disturbed and sometimes unable to continue for a few hours or a day or however long.
Worrying is a massive no-no. Where your thoughts are, energy goes. What you think about consumes you. Where your thinking goes, energy flows. You
must employ Void meditation to calm yourself and your mind and emotions down, so that you control them, rather than them controlling you. It is also important that you do Physical, non-Spiritual things, as well - anything that you like. These can include going to the cinema, having a walk somewhere, doing exercises, playing computer games, chilling (in a non-druggy/non-alcoholic manner) with mates/friends, playing sports... anything which you are interested in, but not over-doing them. There needs to be a balance between Physical and Spiritual things, and you should also not rush things. Going too quickly - therefore hastily - with meditations can be dangerous. Your Body and Mind and Soul need time to adjust, just like weight-lifting or training for a marathon. You can't win from point zero.
You may very well make mistakes and forget, do too many repetitions or not enough, miss a day, etc., but don't worry about that (also don't do them, either!); the Mind is stubborn and needs to be coaxed into doing what you want it to do. Fake it 'til you make it. Maybe reward yourself fairly and correctly after doing working. FYI - meditations are to be done every single day for... well... forever. It might not be possible to do it every day at first, but that's OK. As I said - you can't win from point zero. You have to build yourself up and get there -
a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. As for procrastinating and making up excuses and reasons -
the best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago. There is also
mighty oaks from little acorns grow. I do like that one. You need to build a firm foundation, planting your roots properly. Just relax and make a proper meditation programme for yourself, "we all go at our own speed" and as I like to say - start lowly and slowly and build up from there.
Not to end on a downer, so - I was emailing a member ages ago, and they told me that when they dedicated, they saw their Guardian Daemon's Astral self walk through their wall after they dedicated. You may have worked on yourself in one or more previous lives so you might not be starting from 0 actually; but it is also important to remember that you do not put expectations on things, because this, nearly every single time, will lead to disappointment, which will lead to discouragement, which will lead to sadness/annoyance/frustration, which will be an open invitation for mental and emotional harassment - a
Void it, baby! Instead, just do. Just get on with workings and meditations, and improve yourself.
Things will happen as a result - maybe in weeks, maybe in months, maybe in years, but you have to start to be able to continue and to be able to get somewhere - and there is no end date nor time; advancement is eternal. Before you know it, you'll be able to do some cool things which you haven't been able to do before, like:
- seeing Astral entities and Auras around living and inanimate objects,
- hearing Astral things (such as music and sounds),
- feeling Astral things (such as having Astral sex),
- I think someone said smelling Astral things,
- why not while we're at it - tasting Astral things(?),
- telekinesis, pyrokinesis, cryokinesis, electrokinesis... (if you practice these),
- Astral projection (your Physical Body stays where it is, and a part of your Soul leaves you and visits wherever),
- visiting dimensions on the Astral plane (similar to Astral projection, from what I can gather, but is like visiting dimensions 'above' Physicality),
- having lucid dreams (being awake inside your dreams, controlling your dreams however you like, doing whatever you want, including doing things which are impossible in real life),
- looking back at a time and in a place to witness an event,
- potentially seeing possible future events (the future is not set in stone, though; it is fluidic),
- seeing your past life or lives,
- hearing other's thoughts/speaking with others via your thoughts (telepathy),
- healing,
- making good and bad things happen in your and others' lives,
- with opening, unblocking and empowering your Third Eye it will be harder for others to deceive you, and you'll know the truth...
Any of these might take a while, but they can be done. Meditating brings its own rewards, and the results of doing these workings and meditations far outweigh a bit of very temporary doubt and harassment and worry.
