My first encounter with the guardian.

[human_eraser]

The guardian of the threshold is a menacing figure that you must butt before u can go into higher realms of learning. (from wiki) it's basically all your fears. To continue your journey u must confront him. I faced him. It is scary. I will explain t l8er when I'm
on my compuer. Just Wanted to kno if any1 else faced him.

can't wait to hear the full story.

Personally, and honestly, it's not part of my belief paradigm.  I don't believe I need to ask anyone to access other areas of consciousness.

However, I'm quite intrigued to read about your experience.  As with TofuAttack, I'm very eager to hear the full story.  Please do share.

Sounds more like a negative spirit throwing his weight around (assuming this is a genuine spirit) than an entity with "licensed authority" so to speak. I also don't buy into the "you must face your worst fears in the astral" idea. Okay so you have frightening experiences every now and then (some more often than others) but overcoming your worst fears isn't a prerequisite to move onto the higher planes if you ask me.

The gaurdian of the threshold is a manifestation of our subconscious fears and desires. Some people face it head on as another being, some people unconsciously work though it in the physical without a projection, others completely differently. But they are things that everyone has to face to become closer to their true selves. Everyone can experience it in different ways. The old occultists had specific methods to confront it as initiation into higher truths. Otherwise it skews proper perception.
