Psychic Censor and Dweller on the Threshold in Magic
The concept of the 'psychic censor' conveys the internal psychological barrier that undermines one's belief in the efficacy of magic, leading to a forgetfulness of past successes and an inclination toward skepticism. This mental function continuously casts doubt on magical experiences, insisting they are illusory or non-existent despite evidence of their impact on one’s life. Additionally, the 'Dweller on the Threshold' represents a significant obstacle in magical practice, embodying the accumulated negative karma and experiences from previous lifetimes that must be faced and transcended. This metaphorical being symbolizes the deeper psychological struggles individuals encounter, which are not merely negative traits, but rather the totality of one's past actions that hinder progress. Overcoming these barriers is crucial for effective engagement with magic and achieving personal transformation.
