Many people think proof of spirituality is aesthetic performance & posting online. It’s not. That’s LARP & grifting. I see this in esoteric & religious spaces alike. Once you see most peoples’ theology is just a cosplay for the cultish audience they pander to, you can’t unsee it.

This is how a lot of spiritualists lose their way over time. A tale as old as time. /5
Once your intuitive faculties are open, you have some degree of psychospiritual senses but… without an open heart, humility and integrity — the source of information one channels is corruptible (i.e. one channels dark energies vs. energies aligned with Loving Consciousness), one’s intuitive… /3
Esotericism without spiritual integrity & proper guidance gets dicey; it is easy to lose your way if you’re not on top of your alignment & inner purification. But, this is also why many spiritual traditions require formal initiation with a master teacher — they keep you in line. /2
Having a sharp intuition without maintaining an open heart, humility & code of ethics is how esotericism veers into baneful magick & unethical practices. This is also why many fall into the trap of creating narcissistic identities around their ability & become false cult leaders. /1
You aren’t special for being connected to your intuition. You’ve just woken up from cosmic amnesia and have returned to baseline functioning.
Because, you will just not find proper frameworks to sanely, groundedly discuss the esoteric anywhere else. The Spirit & the psyche are not separate, the spiritual is real but, our “modern” world is just not there yet — but, many of us are waking up. We are getting there. 👁️
I am that eccentric auntie that will tell you fairies exist, your djinn encounters are real, your dreamscape is realer than reality & all your brushes with the Unseen are valid — & I will do so with a cutting-edge scholarly nuance informed by mystical frameworks & depth psychologists alike.
Normalize prophetic dreams. Normalize gut instincts & psychic premonitions that turn out to be eerily correct. Normalize visionary experiences. Normalize soul recognition. Normalize telepathy. Belief in the paranormal is normal; it’s the illusionary nature of our world that tells us it is abnormal.
Denying our innate psychic ability is a eurocolonial paradigm that separates us from our inner knowing & makes us more manipulatable. You also won’t be able to distinguish spiritual fraud from the real till you develop a degree of intuitive discernment & spiritual wisdom yourself.
الحكم (al-Hakam) — The Supreme Judge, The Giver of Justice, The Arbitrator The One who delivers justice to everyone in every situation. He is the best of judges & He is the only true judge. His judgment once rendered cannot be thwarted. Nothing happens except by His authority & decree.
I don't know who needs to hear this but, take this as a sign to leave whatever it is in the divine's care. Taking justice into your own hands will never trump the spiritual court system.
Divine justice is far more brutal than any sentence delivered by the worldly court system, which is ironic, because the latter is very unfair and corrupt while the former is always just and perfect in its execution.
“And [remember, O Prophet], when those who disbelieved plotted against you to restrain you or kill you or evict you. But they plan, and Allah plans. And Allah is the best of planners.” —Surah Al-Anfal, Al-Qur’an [8:30]
Being divinely protected is interesting because, I may personally be past a situation but, you still won’t be able to access me because That Which Spiritually Guards me is not… After a point, after certain uncrossable lines have been crossed — it’s not between you & me anymore.
If you want access to me, you will have to get through the spiritual mafia that guards me first — which includes a fairy troll that lives under a bridge with an impossible to solve riddle. I don’t make the rules.
Our decisions fall within the sphere of divine will, which no one can change. We can only impact the journey our soul takes within that sphere. Co-creating with divine will aligns you with the most optimal path/highest timeline instead of fighting against cosmic inertia in vain.
Sometimes, you will be guided to act, sometimes you will be guided to sit on your hands & other times you will be guided to sit on your hands until the time is right. Either way, you will get whatever optimal instruction plan is needed to be a conduit for divinely-guided justice.
“Let God fight your battles” doesn’t mean pray & do nothing. It’s a battle cry, a call to go inward & commune with the Unseen: to access the Spirit of guidance, receive instructions & become a finely tuned divine instrument that enacts the Laws of Karma with righteous precision.
Sometimes, it is not that you have been rejected. It is they who have been cosmically evicted & deemed unworthy. The Universe will use peoples’ ego trappings against them to veil them & trick them into leaving you alone. Being misunderstood & unseen can be a protective blessing.
Your job is to forgive & be grudge-free — for yourself & as a prayer to the One. But forgiveness doesn’t always mean welcoming someone back with open arms, especially when they haven’t done the work to be a safe person for you — which is something the cosmos knows before you do.
Often times, we personally forgive people — but the forces of the cosmic justice system are not done with them. It is why we end up separated from people who wronged us, even when we are past the moment. The Universe saw things you did not & simply cannot allow them around you.
Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) worried for his ummah to the point of weeping. Moses/Musa (AS) confronted the Pharaoh. We know Jesus/Isa (AS)’s story. Prophets, mystics, gurus & guides are our spiritual ancestors. If you walk a spiritual path even slightly, you endure trials that test your devotion like them.
Every spiritualist gets initiated into what I call “The Prophet’s Wound”. All prophets, mystics, gurus & guides endured cruelty, disrespect & crazy-making from those around them. They navigated grueling trials that pushed them to their limits. They felt the pain of humanity as their own.
Be the nuance you wish to see in the world. If it doesn’t exist, it’s because you’re meant to create & anchor it, yourself.
Saturn will shut up your victim complexes about everything. Because, there is a healing boon found in accepting things as they are, realizing you have been called to take up the mantle of responsibility & discovering that you can, indeed, handle what you were complaining about.
Aquarius placements must learn to stop succumbing to depression & victim complex for being the only one who sees outdated ways of being/feeling at war with external rigidity. Aquarius is a humanitarian who guides the collective into innovation — you see from a higher perspective.
Alternatively, being “in attachment” — otherwise known as the wounded ego adhering itself to someone in a misaligned way (or a misaligned person altogether) — makes the potency of one’s spiritual work plummet. Magnetism goes down, abundance flow tanks, beauty & health dull, etc.
Being in Love in general will intensify any spiritual work you do. Your magnetism (& ability to attract abundance) goes up, the subtle energy center of the heart opens (aligning you with divine energy), blockages naturally demolish due to Love’s purifying nature & etc.
It’s easy to reject unwanted admirers & misaligned suitors when you grasp the subtle energy dynamics of unnecessary entanglement. It is an attempt at destiny swapping your spiritually aligned partner, which creates kinks in your shared timeline & knots across all spheres of life.
