**The Danger of Believing in Your Thoughts **

Believing in one's thoughts can lead to mental illness as it may cause individuals to become overwhelmed by sensory experiences. Highly visual practices, such as certain forms of qigong and modern interpretations of Tantra, can exacerbate this issue for those who are not emotionally and mentally prepared to handle intense sensations. Additionally, an obsession with experiences can trigger a fight-or-flight response, stressing the nervous system and leading to instability. Caution is advised against engaging in sexual practices, psychotropic drugs, and visualization, as these can contribute to a detachment from reality and create further mental disarray.
