>Overwhelming frustration and also such intense emotions that I feel like I can terminate myself and yet leave a permanent mark.
I can't really say I know that feel because I'm sure your interpretation of your emotions is unique to you but when a negative emotion strikes me I feel as though a blade or arrow pierces my body and I feel it's weight and the drag of the air as it hangs off me, no physical pain though. Not sure if this just some reoccurring thought form, the effects of an entity, maybe the work of an ex-lover who was neophyte perhaps an adept by now. But, I have a meditation of sorts that I do where I imagine all of the blades and arrows that have accumulated on my person, in my flesh; a human porcupine I become with the usual lot, and i just rip them out one by one tossing them to ground, sometimes bending the blades, breaking the arrows, but always focusing on banishing the negative thoughts and healing the wounds they have caused.
>Have you read Manly P. Hall's book about the sacred mysteries and how the initiate dies to the world?
No, not yet. If you have the exact title I will add it to my long ass reading list.
