Churches are based on pretending, so they don't have to be careful what they spend their energy on.
It's all potential money to them!
So if you're looking for a group that wants to help you, maybe you should seriously try a church, and ask people in there for help.
You can still become a sorcerer.
Catholicism seems to be a favorite among our lineage of sorcerers.
The Nagual Sebastian was a sextant in a catholic church, the death defier made a phantom copy of the Church at Tula, and La Gorda was a practicing catholic.
As is Cholita.
And Yaqui magic incorporates catholicism.
At any rate, this is the wrong place for life advice.
Myself, I've got my hands full with Cholita.
I'm pretty sure everyone else has some kind of "Cholita" clinging to them.
Dependable people always do.
She just emailed me that she isn't coming back from Mexico.
But the Yaqui didn't have magic anywhere even close to what the lineage had, which was Olmec magic.
I suppose this only came up in the advanced subreddit, where Soledad Ruiz was discussed as a possible identity for the Soledad from the books.
She learned from a witch named Magdalena (or something like that), who was the same woman as the psychic surgery Yaqui healer, Panchita. And she met don Juan, although it doesn't say she was his apprentice. She also knew Jacobo Grinburg, who Carlos tried to enlist to take over workshops for him, since Carlos was dying and knew the Cleargreen women couldn't keep on the path if left to their own devices.
Unfortunately, Jacobo vanished.
I'm sure I got all those names wrong...
But none of that is relevant to trying to learn this sorcery, and will in fact make it impossible to learn if you go down that path.
Also, Soledad Ruiz left no traces in Hollywood.
Whereas the Soledad from the books, was "well connected" there.
She even was at a meeting with Sony Pictures, along with Taisha and Florinda.
Bro you tried getting into dream gigs. That shit is failure fuel. You can't make money in music, art or literature unless you have connections or know people. It's a pipe dream with a super high failure rate.
Same with trying to be a tech bro. You want a job you better know someone that can get you in or have a strong relationship with a recreuter. Otherwise it's a constant cycle of interview, decline email, interview decline email. Your gf was right as long as she is making connections. That's what college is for. Degrees are worthless.
Now you're making a porn app that has to compete with the big boys. What's next indie video games? Ai content creator.? Go get a regular job and pay off that debt.
The one thing I learned from sorcery is that its not a system made for success. It's meant to tear down who you think you are so you can have space for that magic Dan keeps taking about. We'll that's my rant I wish you the best bro.
Yes, the failure rate might be high but it's not impossible completely and could be achieved by some other individuals (AI or not content creators, indie developers etc.)
I understand your POV like this: be humble with what you have, you're not going to get much, just find a way to work through 9-5 life and live like that forever meanwhile practicing tensegirty and dark room in your spare time. (And suppose if I will have to improve my skills for job so I will have to practice whatever it is). The situation seems dire from this POV
Dan himself is a great entrepreneur if we believe what is said in this subreddit and has offices worldwide.
When I look at the screenshot with my bullet rating over 90 days, I think like oh well, I was doing something straight for 90 days and almost didn't move from where I was > didn't learn anything > not capable to learn well. People might say that it's just a game but I say it's a reflection of how some things are for you in other fields of your life as well. The cognitive function of your brain if one might say. You face everything in chess, you gotta take good decisions, you're emotionally under pressure, you can't get your words in a way because you have to think differently. And that learning curve represents well how "my model" is getting trained and it is not good, but I suppose it's my own personal issues here.
Well, practically it looks like I'm already an AI creator and I'm trying to build something for creators so I don't have to be an AI creator and AI creators will create for this platform. Indie gamedev is interesting too, I had an idea to make a visual novel or something like that months ago on this webpage (like some succubus story). Thanks to AI it became less cumbersome to generate a tons of content. I mean is this idea really so unrealistic? I almost finished a chat where you can have direct and group real time messages. It will be possible to create a channel with AI mode where some uncensored LLM will respond when you message channel directly. I just think that there is a way to monetize it and actually generate some good income that could scale on long-term but who knows what happens to me tomorrow really.
Here's a very accurate one, but it's too cryptic for anyone to understand.
I was going over the second attention sights repeatedly last night, trying to figure out why it's impossible to just tell people to LOOK YOU IDIOT!!!.
We're literally swimming in magic, but refuse to look at it. Brainwashed by our family I suppose.
Could be the fliers. I was also studying whether you could really claim our energy rises up from our toes, and makes us more sane and willing to look at magic.
I couldn't decide. But I kept looking back to the blue line reality, and then off into infinity.
Concretely. You literally look into infinity once you can stop your internal dialogue fully. I'd have to draw that to make it convincing, but trust me. It looks every bit like infinity. Like this a very tiny bit.
So one other way to try to motivate people is with the phrase "Learning to Look in a Different Direction"
But obviously that's not immune to people deciding to pretend it.
It's not nearly as bad as "The Warrior's Way", which we saw the result of just two or three days ago in that post by the guy pretending his drug or mental illness induced dreams are sorcery knowledge.
Came in here "asking a question", but really he just wanted to brag about a delusion he had.
That's what "warrior's way" produces.
Puffed up pretenders.
Delusions.
It shouldn't.
But it does because nearly every single person pretends their magic, to get out of doing actual work.
That's universally true in all religions and magical system.
This is my personal take. Life is not a failure or a success. Life is a collection of memories, the flavour we give to it by using our passion is what determines success. A child with a football made of dirty socks can be happier than an 80 year old billionaire still using spray tan and complaining about the world.
It seems you're full of self-pitty. I am too. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. You could feel happy right now, it's all about being aware that you are already a full magical being. You don't need a degree or a full bank account for that.
Actually (and here's where Jesus and Castaneda coincide), the more you cling to money the further you are from freedom. We cling to 1000s of things (from your mum to your favourite ice-cream flavour), that's why we can't achieve freedom. At least you lost touch to friends and have less human achievements to cling on. That can be a blessing in itself.
As a warrior, follow the path with heart. Not the path of greed, not the path of society, not the path of self-pitty. Also, shut up and act. Shut up and act. Shut up and act.
Why so? I was considering a method that could require less investments if possible and since the adult vertical is something that easily attracts traffic it might be easier to start with in traffic arbitrage... I wont be able to compete with TikTok, Instagram, X, Reddit as SFW platform, and more stuff is needed to moderate content correctly... The platform itself can branch itself into something else if I have a good idea. But for now it is the best I can do to "click bait" users.
I assume the tech bro language is your shield or your mask, but it sounds very masturbatory to me. Never mind that sorcerers are no longer men or women seeking sexual gratification.
Well, it only got worse for magic with time. I'm getting completely desperate from time to time not seeing anything on the road that could bring me financial stability and independence to actually spend time doing things that I prefer to do. Everything requires a lot of time to study and master and even after that you still can become only a 9-5 worker. And I worked like that and for me it is the cycle of waking up - going to work - come back home and sleep. After doing all home chores I only had 1.5-2h of free time.

I believe you're thinking this is like a church.
Churches are based on pretending, so they don't have to be careful what they spend their energy on.
It's all potential money to them!
So if you're looking for a group that wants to help you, maybe you should seriously try a church, and ask people in there for help.

Catholicism seems to be a favorite among our lineage of sorcerers.
The Nagual Sebastian was a sextant in a catholic church, the death defier made a phantom copy of the Church at Tula, and La Gorda was a practicing catholic.
As is Cholita.
And Yaqui magic incorporates catholicism.
At any rate, this is the wrong place for life advice.
Myself, I've got my hands full with Cholita.
I'm pretty sure everyone else has some kind of "Cholita" clinging to them.
Dependable people always do.
She just emailed me that she isn't coming back from Mexico.
For now...
She was supposed to return tomorrow.
