God gave reason to man to use it, so there is no need to turn it off. Especially in matters of self-knowledge, self-development and studying your own soul. If you are interested in psychology, want to be a psychologist or want to go to a psychologist, it is important to understand that psychology has NOTHING to do with esotericism! From the word “absolutely”. Psychology is a science; there are various schools and directions in it, and they are all united by a scientific base. In psychology there is scientific ethics and its goal is the psychological health of people. Esotericism and occultism are based on myths and superstitions, their essence is, at best, fantasies about ancient secret teachings, at worst, outright Satanism. At best, you will end up with a charlatan who makes money by telling you nonsense; at worst, you will get a spiritual infection and then pay dearly for it with your health and well-being. The worst thing is that the spiritual infection will affect your children and loved ones. Children will suffer first as they are the most vulnerable. Esotericism doesn’t care about your health, it teaches you to live in illusions, and dangerous ones at that! Occultists know very well how to manipulate a gullible person; it is not for nothing that they study in droves in NLP courses, which provide knowledge on how to control others. In this regard, they are not much different from sectarians. The consequences of esotericism for a person are dangerous in every sense: - he becomes infantile and loses his will - he places responsibility for his life on the stars, numbers, the position of furniture in the house - he is put on meditation (dangerous spiritual practices) - he is lured into destructive cults (psychocults) - he develops neuroses - he loses healthy guidelines in life - he begins to experience depression, panic attacks, mental disorders A person must clearly distinguish between a psychologist and an esotericist. Today this is one of the most important laws of psychological and spiritual safety! 20 ways to recognize esotericists: 1. As a rule, they do not have psychological education. The arsenal most often includes diplomas and certificates from various esoteric “academies,” often NLP courses. But a diploma in psychology does not always mean that this is primarily a psychologist! 2. They talk a lot about spirituality, and various secret knowledge is included in it. 3.
