AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

What are your thoughts on the Maa kamakhya temple and it’s tantric practice and bali pratha…Does any devi want bali to be offered? How does one save from black magic on himself and family?๐Ÿ”ฎ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿงฟ๐ŸŽญ

Bali pratha (Animal sacrifice) has lost its meaning and purpose now. It is a crude form of worship for those who worship the Devi with pasubhava. But to the advanced sadhaka the sacrifice demanded by the goddesses is of the ego-self. 

One should not let the mind dwell upon the things one wants to get rid of. To think of, believe in, even try ways and means to ward off black magic is to inadvertently strengthen it. Whereas to dwell in the thoughts of God, to have faith in the Divine, to remember Him fondly is the best protection against everything including black magic. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

But after some time, something happened: an element like subtle like crystal/ transparent little rope but thick, as if falling upon my neck. ๐Ÿฆ๐ŸŒ™[..]

The crow generally symbolise practical cleverness though sometimes they are believed to be communicating mediums between the ancestors and the living. May be they came to bless you and give the gift of cleverness.

I just have one last question related to psychosis. Is it worth trying to analyze the meaning of the experiences that I had during psychosis (whatever I remember)? Or should I just forget them like a bad dream? For years I have been trying to find answers; maybe there are none. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

There is always a meaning or rather a reflection of certain inner states. But it is difficult to find it out either by oneself or by the average psychiatrist. If one can find the meaning it is good. But the medicines should not be discontinued….
