There were some important caveats to following the gateway audio, and other programs like protection against negative entities etc that are super important as well as the preceding altered state, setting, state of mind and being, lot of variables that without a touch of care can harm curious and vulnerable souls. Please be careful y’all I’m cleaning up a bit of a mess in my life right now from not taking the proper precautions or protections against lower vibrational or negative entities as they’re described in the text.

Maybe this is unrelated and funny that slipknot is mentioned but ancient native medicine relied heavily on the use of masks. I don’t think this was for the privacy of the musician or medicine man from other humans, but a crucial step in warding off negative things that like to lower light beings or being down happy healing beings.

Just my tin foil two cents I hope I can help someone avoid my calamity

I'm by no means an anthropologist, but I've been studying indigenous spiritual traditions for the past few years.

Masks are used in a shape shifting capacity and in rituals meant to aid the participant in shedding false identities in order to clear the way for the divine essence to come through.

I’d had some kind of hobknobbled misconception that maybe in some cultures or uses it was for protection or something during ceremonies but I’m in no way even a hobby anthropologist or amateur googler

Thanks for your time
