Processes Behind Yellow Magick
Have you ever successfully shaken off an old idea just by ignoring it? Starving it of mental energy. You can wilfully starve an idea of mental energy? The more I resolve to not think of something, the more I think about it. Don’t think about an elephant. I just did. You can replace it with…
