I'm new here so I want to say "hello" to You all. I'm from Poland, I'm 21 and I used to take some interest in occultism, esotericism etc. when I was even younger. Half of what I had read I didn't get at all and misunderstood the rest, so now I think it wasn't bad after all for me to stop being interested in such things. Now I'm little more mature, not even half as hot-headed as I was and perhaps it's time to try again in the field of the occult.
I haven't practiced much these few years ago, a little bit of this, a little bit of that and I'm not going to practice now yet. I think it's bad idea to DO things that can take effects on psyche and alleged Higher Realities before one thoroughly UNDERSTANDS what he's about to do. And beginning the "adventure" with occultism with practicing is, as far as I'm concerned pretty much what almost everybody do, probably because they are attracted by Powers, siddhis and so on.
I don't desire those, I don't want to make my life better by the means of magic(k), I want to UNDERSTAND at least as little as I can and I hope You can help me with it

In addition, I want to train my English. It's got quite rusty because I don't have many opportunities to use it. So forgive and correct me if I make any mistake

With respect,
Berdyaev
