Understanding Self-Gaslighting in Magical Pursuits

Self-gaslighting often results in individuals believing they are working towards their best life while actually undermining their own efforts. Key to this phenomenon is the lack of alignment between conscious desires and unconscious motivations, where the conscious mind might set goals that the unconscious does not genuinely support. For instance, someone may consciously wish to change careers but subconsciously cling to the validation derived from their current job, creating internal conflict. This misalignment makes it crucial to interrogate and recognize these dual desires to facilitate true transformation and ensure that one's magical practices manifest effectively.
