(please excuse my grammar as English isn't my first language)
My apologies in advance as my post may sound like an angry rant.
To give you an overview, I've been practicing AP on and off for a while. I'm also a member in a local AP group in FB where newbies and more experienced members share their questions and experiences regarding AP, but they've gone inactive for a while now. One member invited a new on in the group, he claimed he's a licensed Reiki practitioner, an experienced APer and also a "3rd degree hereditary eclectic witch", whatever that means I have absolutely no idea :/ .
So a few of us are eager on what he could share with us and some member think he's somehow legit based on the pictures he have with his "clients" and the esotheric gathering he attended. He's claimed that he could AP regularly and travel to the Vatican so he could read books in there. He could easily communicate with the Angels and Demons through enochian language in the astral and also advises us to place a protection barrier first when attempting to AP. Then on other times, he proceeds to discuss with the group various demons/entities he previously communicated that shouldn't be done by newbies with no experience or else a family member will die if this demon is improperly given an offering- stuff like that.
Let me share a few more: (Sorry;;;) Right now he's giving a discussion on the group chat about how to release curses (by lighting sage in the house etc), how to find your twin flame and how to do a 'proper' meditation of the chakras with the correct hand gestures.
He sometimes shows people his latest esotheric gathering with 'the leaders of modern witchcraft' and stuff like 'Here's me doing a ritual magick, I'm the leader in this group btw.', 'Here's a picture of my Handmade voodoo dolls. They're not just dolls. They we're made with a thousand year old formula and some of my clients try to give me $1000 offer in exchange of the the doll but of course I didn't give it.'
Whenever he goes out of the chat, he keeps informing everyone what he's about to do ('BRB I'm about to do a walking meditation outside, try it, it feels great!', 'See you guys, I'm about to do a 3day meditation in the buddhist temple', 'Bye guys I'm about to have an appointment and do yoga in the cemetery') -which honestly sounded like a bunch of humble bragging.
So my first question is I'd like to ask if any of the things he said about AP is actually legit? Can these be done freely and easily in the astral? I want to give this guy the benefit of a doubt (because he's been very friendly and sometimes give profound quotes from 'Ascended Masters' in Buddhism and Hinduism) and I really don't want to act arrogant and blurt out that this is all BS to the group because I myself haven't experience a full conscious AP. Also, his advice is somehow fearmongering and my fear about AP is starting to come back.
Also, based on I've been reading on this website (especially on Franks article) and MBT, I've made a technical/scientific and non-mystified approach of our reality and the astral. When people explain their AP experience with the use of 'chakras' and 'opening the third eye' in other forums and group, I try to filter them and make a non-mystified interpretation of their experience. But this guy... He just keeps on throwing fancy words that I couldn't really tell if he's just quoting from a book or just giving us a whole load of BS.. I know there's nothing to be feared in the Astral but stuff he keeps saying contradicts my belief system.
My second question is, when trying to find answers and methods on the internet, how do you filter out which one is the correct advice and which one is just a fancy made-up stuff?
Thank you
