Uhh… yeah, about that last part. I'm into perennialism and magical solipsism. The first is the world view that traditions such as Norse myth, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism etc. derive from a central and axiomatic Truth that goes beyond natural specifications. Salvation, Enlightenment, Awakening and similar concepts refer to the same refined state of mind one is able to achieve through spiritual self-realization. This is where solipsism as an approach comes into the picture: Essentially the world a person experiences is always defined in relation to the perspective, the point of view, the self that experiences. However you twist and turn and make up abstract and imaginary perspectives, the one perceiving them is always “I”.
Your only axiomatic experience is this. All else is relative and comes as a mental construct based on the random stimuli you perceive, a very strong convincement, an unconscious habit. Well, obviously, currently your self-image is completely reliant on your physical (i. e. cosmic and thus mortal) vessel. I mean, when your brain shuts off during deep sleep for example, your consciousness sinks into a comatic (mineral) state in which you aren't aware. Most of your dreams pass with you residing in a vegetative, instinctuous state.
So, if someone is this unaware of what is really going on with oneself as the whole reality of the perspective at hand, it would be far more irresponsible to start tampering with things one doesn't fully understand.
For example, how reliable is a mental construct? How aware am I of its being? How remote, how comatic and ignored is it? If My world is essentially me, but even my body and mind are objects (heterons) in comparison to who I am, what am I really doing when I'm forming a Tulpa or Servitor? How is that any different from my relatives? I mean, when they're not here, they only reside in my memory… and what if they said that I was sleeping so long that I must have forgotten about them, could it be that they are no better than non-local spirits in a completely rigid form and they are just sharing their script? Could it be that I, as a superconscious, have created a physically and mentally severely limited character to be the main character in my self-designed sandbox game? Obviously, Mario won't know more than its limited functions, but his power comes from the spirit possessing him: The awareness of the player.
Well… I guess I've just confused you even further now. Sorry about that.
Anyway, reality is the deepest game ever, and you can completely fuck things up if you foolishly meddle with the deeper layers of it, tampering with your inner and outer daemons.
Knowing how to do something is not the same as knowing how something works. You might be able to fire a pistol, but if you don't know how a gun works, fate might turn it against you.
Today's world revolves too much around technical education. You are taught where to use a mathematical function, but usually not why that function works as it does. You are an ape with an AK-47, and you think you know what you're doing… but in most of the cases you don't, you're just too used to notice how blindly you accept the things you've been told since the day you gained consciousness.
