Let’s Talk About Entities

One of the areas I feel most misunderstood by friends is the topic of entities.

Specifically, entities they feel they have to ‘protect themselves’ from.

I know a lot of people who invest a lot of time, attention, and money into practices, services, and products meant to clear, remove, or protect against entities. The result is a pantheon of techniques performed with quiet anxiety, like a friend who hand sanitizes every time they leave home. In the extreme, I’ve seen this perspective break people’s minds with paranoia.

In it’s mundane expression, this perspective leads to interesting yet innocent behaviors, in it’s extreme, I've seen it precipitate psychosis.

So I get passionate when the topic arises. I’m eager to share my perspective, because it’s different than almost everyone I know; and it works.I’ve tested it. Hundreds of times and in extreme conditions.

However, whenever I try to explain my POV on entities, I find myself misunderstood almost every time.

Let’s see how I do today.

My view is:

What I’m saying:
​There is nothing that arises in your psyche that you can’t alchemize. There is nothing to fear (when it comes to psychic phenomena). You have as much agency as you’re capable of noticing and claiming.

Now enters the misunderstanding

Depending on who I share this with, I get different responses, but eventually, it becomes clear that their take away from my share was that I don’t think their experience ‘was really real.’

It’s such a bummer to share a perspective that has had a 100% success rate at navigating the hardest experiences of my life, and people’s response be ‘so what you’re saying is you don’t believe entities are real?’

What I’m saying is what you actually are is way more than a meatsuit in a material universe that has a subjective experience inside your meatsuit’s head; that if you remember what you actually are, you can eat demons and dance with angels.

I’m telling you I have tested this view in hundreds of high pressure experiences. I’ve used this view to literally save my life. It has saved the lives of others, and it is in alignment with Buddha and Christ’s teaching that all of us live with the same power they both had.

It’s a rant for another day, but remarkably few people seem to understand the scale of the revolution Jung heralded. And it has been one of the great artistic aims of my life to figure out how to talk about this revolution in a way that really clicks for people.

But before you, dear reader, misunderstand me too, lemme clarify:

1. Magick is real
2. So are entities
3. it’s just not like the movies, its both more exciting and harder

The Three Stages of Magickians

First, let’s cut through some noise.

Everyone is a magickian. If you can read and write, you’ve learned the fundamentals of real magick, the kind of magick that can vaporize cities, fly planes, and end civilizations.

Continuing the spirit of savage simplification, there are three levels of inner Magick:

1. NPM (Non-Playable Magickian)
2. YSNPM (YOU SHALL NOT PASS Magickian)
3. MFGS (Mother Father God Lover)

I. NPM

The non-playable magickian doesn’t yet realize they have agency in psyche. They likely struggle to recognize they have an interior life at all. This is us when we accept every thought we think. This is us before self-awareness.

A great way to guarantee graduation from this level is to start a practice of telling yourself the truth every day (I recommend journaling).

II. YOU SHALL NOT PASS Magickian

The YOU SHALL NOT PASS Magickian is most of us most of the time.

The YSNP magickian has a medicine bag. Maybe it’s filled prozac, maybe it’s palo santo. The methods differ but the intention is the same; there are feelings I don’t want to feel and I will do whatever I can to not feel those feelings.

Can you hear the Gandalf in you yelling “YOU SHALL NOT PASS.”

In part’s work, we call Gandalf a protector and The Balrog an exile.

When you remember the truth of what you are, you remember every possible emanation of entities are parts of the true you. When you remember who you are, you understand a ‘haunting’ is actually a ‘pleading.’ You remember that what feels like a monster to the ego is a crying child looking for the love of the Mother Father God Lover.

The graduation from YOU SHALL NOT PASS magickian is realizing the treasure is where the resistance is, and the treasure is A FEELING WE’VE BEEN REPRESSING.

III. Mother-Father GOD Lover

Climax of ‘Princess Mononoke’ — watch it for Mother-Father God Lover symbol

The Mother-Father GOD Lover is how I describe the feeling of the perspective that isn’t afraid of any interior content because it remembers what it is.

I think the ending of Princess Mononoke, where the male and female protagonist come together to offer a symbol of immortality (the Deer God head) back to a symbol for death (the nightwalker), we get one of the greatest symbols of the MFGL our generation has produced in popular art.

Becoming a student of dreams eventually makes this all obvious.

I’ve been working with people’s dreams for more than 15 years. The most common nightmares people have involve running or hiding from a threat. This reflects a Non-Playable magickian. The magic at this stage is to help people cultivate the courage to turn around and face the threat.

A second kind of nightmare is when the dream ego is able to ‘do magick’ or express superpowers that kill, banish, or overwhelm the threat in the dream. This is an important developmental step, and people who have these dreams often wake up feeling very proud and energized.

However, this can become a place they get stuck. This is the YOU SHALL NOT PASS magickian.

While learning how to create boundaries is developmentally essential, there is a stage beyond this we're meant to grow into (when we're ready).

What I’ve seen working with 1000s of people’s dreams is that all our nightmares, our hauntings, our monsters, pursuers, and attackers are heralds for emotions we’ve avoided feeling.

People’s long awaited transformations are coupled with dreams where they finally turn around and face what we’ve been running from, hiding from, or protecting ourselves from.

This is the Mother-Father God Lover. When we face the monster in our nightmares, it transforms. Often to an injured person or animal; a burned child or a blind elder. When someone who has been haunted by a nightmare for years does this for the first time, it always heralds a powerful transformation in consciousness. You'll know the MFGL view has opened in you when what use to scare you now brings you to tears or laughter.

Next time you notice yourself reaching for your Gandalf staff to protect yourself, see if there may be some tender feelings at the edge of consciousness asking for a little of your time.

When you remember what you really are, you’ll remember that these ‘entities’ are children trying to come back into the light.

You’re their light, when you’re ready, stop keeping them in darkness.

Toolkit for Mother-Father GOD Lover perspective

For what it’s worth, here are the magickal systems I’ve studied that appear to have unlocked the Mother-Father God Lover in me:

1. Vipassana Meditation
2. Truth journaling
3. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
4. Jungian Parts Work
5. Reichian Breathwork

Vipassana will grow your capacity to not automatically fuse your awareness to every thought you have. This capacity enhances the effect of all the following techniques. Start at 5 minutes a day. Work up to 20 minutes a day. 10 days in a row is more important than a spasmodic Hercules. You’ll start to notice significant changes after 30 days. You’ll find yourself in a new timeline after 90 days. If you keep it going for years, you’ll be a light and a bridge to everyone you meet.

Truth Journaling will cultivate your self-respect / self-love / courage. Committing to the practice of writing yourself the truth appears to have a similar effect as someone who is ‘blessed’ or someone who ‘walks with God.’ It’s uncanny, I don’t know how it works, but I’ve seen it happen for hundreds of people. How do you do it? With pen or keyboard, write at least one thing that scares you to say aloud. Practice finding and collecting those scary sentences everyday. Eventually you’ll start speaking them and your life will change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the most effective psychotherapy Western Culture has produced in more than 150 years. The essence of this practice is you learn the 10 common cognitive distortions we tell ourselves. These are the most common ways we lie to ourselves. To this day, practicing CBT for a few weeks has done more for my mental fitness than almost any other practice or technique I’ve learned.

Jungian Parts Work is, well, it’s a rabbit hole into a worldview that saved my life from my childhood nihilism. It’s best captured through Robert Johnson’s ‘Inner Work.’ Short version; begin recording your dreams as you remember them. Begin unpacking your dreams using Johnson’s technique (which is his clear instructions on how Jung taught dream work).

Reichian Breathwork is a kind of wim hoff breathwork that is done daily to encourage the expression of any trapped emotions that may be ready to express / discharge from the body. Aim for 5 to 20 minutes a day. You can lay down or sit up, and begin full inhales and exhales through the mouth. This looks like Wim Hoff breathing, except the jaw and mouth remain relaxed on the exhale. Don’t scrunch your mouth on exhales. Keep the mouth open and jaw relaxed. I find almost everyday tears stream from my eyes and I don’t know why.

My spicy claim: the MFGL view will deal with 100% of the entities you’ve been trying to protect yourself from (and by dealing with them, I mean you begin to face and integrate your projected shadows and your exiled aliveness).

The Twist

And we’re going to need it because the plot twist is; entities are real, they’re dominating our world, and if you want to help build a future our grandchildren can live in, you’re going to have to recognize the real magick that has been hiding in plain sight, and learn how to use it.

And you’ll be glad for this renewed aliveness, because once you realize you don’t have to fear yourself, you can move from constantly looking inward, to looking outward. You’ll see a world of 8 billion other Godshards. You’ll see a sick dominate culture severely wounding our Mother planet as it hurls itself towards extinction.

You’ll be able to see the real entities on our planet. We know them as Nation States, Ideologies, and Corporations.

You’ll be able to see the real magick of our time is storytelling, legal codes, and entrepreneurship.

When you integrate the MFGL view, you stop fearing your mind (and therefore stop obsessing over your interior life). This frees you to look out at this beautiful broken world and begin to notice where we are and what’s happening.

Welcome to the Schizophrenic Renaissance; where it’s never been more dangerous to be a non-playable magickian, and where the powers of a focused intentional magickian has never been more potent.

Next week I’m going to talk about Egregores, light and dark magick, and that to be a magickian who answers the call of the times is to learn how to create, grow, and deploy egregores (in the form of corporations).

The Renaissance happened because the wealthy funded the artists. In 2025, I don't trust the 1% to fund a renaissance. We're going to have to learn how to fund ourselves.

You either learn the how to play the money game, or hope someone else who does, will take care of you. If this triggers, consider the MFGL view and see if there are feelings to feel.

Big love,
Erick

Note: Let me know what blocks, triggers, or disagreement you have with the idea that, in order to contend with the issues of our generation, we’re gunna have to learn the fundamentals of entrepreneurship. I get more resistance to this idea then anything else I talk about. I love it. This means I’m touching something important.

He's one of the most moral and attuned people I know.

Quote I'm Enjoying

Alan Moore on Magick:

Weekly Journal Prompt

Assume we are all magickians. Take inventory of the current magick you perform on a daily basis. Look around your home; what magick have you allowed it? What logos do you trust? What egregores do you submit to? Have fun, it isn't really real...right?

My Next Event: 5 Day Retreat​

September 17th - September 21st I'll be hosting a 5-day retreat designed for creatives (amateurs, professionals, entrepreneurs), who would like to 'get away and get to work' on their most important project. This is a unique event you likely have never seen someone do before, and the first cohort raved they got more done in 3 days than they had in the past 3 months. Check it out. We'll be in Lockhart, Texas.
