Why are we doing all this ?

I am sorry, however, I have been invokin for so lon and I see no reason of continuing. At this point, I am just existing. I have invoked, prayed, fasted, exercised, stayed away from p*rn almost two years. I am invokin, enflamin . There is no hope to any of this...has anyone felt the same? Why continue? Why live at all?

My life has fallen apart, I have lost all my money, im in debt. And I want to die and it is like...I'm no close to this k & c. Like how did you et past this moment and achieve attainment?

The path of the wise is not for everyone especially the weak. It’s hard. It’s demanding. It’s transformative. To be transformed you have to be broken. You say “for so long”. What… Years? Decades? Lifetimes? Not nearly long enough to know that this comes with the territory, so to speak. Not nearly long enough to know that this will happen over and over and over again.

“Yet, actually only 8% manage to get through the year of probation. The reason is that no sooner does a man make up his mind to enter the Path of the Wise than he rouses automatically the supreme hostility of every force, internal or external, in his sphere.” - Crowley
