I wish I knew that feeling a strong pressure on my third eye meant that it was open and since then I should have focused on the other chakras.
You don't have to smoke weed to be laid back, detached and cool just be a Satanist instead (just before I got into SS I got into drugs and was heavy around the time leading up to when I decided to dedicate).
I knew about SS when I was 11 but dissociated about it until later on. Stayed up nights on my first laptop reading the JoS page. At that age I later had an experience which was like being attacked by greys or something, a bright white beam being projected into me and caused me physical as well as mental pain and I couldn't and still can't see spirits or anything, but I'm pretty sure whatever it was got chased off in some way or another. I believe that was what drew me away initially, being very young and suggestive. At the time though I thought it was just some sort of pseudo-nightmare, I never had nightmares as a kid but at younger ages would always stay up late at night unable to sleep and hyperanalysing every detail of the previous day and things I knew, sometimes so tired of it I'd be crying hard anyway so I thought it was a resurgence of that. I think at very young ages it was going into past life stuff but I can't remember any of this at all. Anyway I think I would tell that young version of me to meditate, sit and have a long chat about absolutely everything. Meditation wasn't very clear to me as a kid back then when reading the JoS, even though I was raised in an atheist environment and the only christian figure was a fat jewish looking landwhale teachers assistant that smelt like vomit, I for some reason had this incredibly strong subconscious aversion that I had to overcome over the years. Meditation was also a new concept for me, and it was only when I was in adolescence that it started to feel necessary and like a good idea.
There are a lot of things I would want to do as a kid again but it would be purely impossible. That's why we have time though lol. The amount of time you get as a kid is tiny compared to an adult, and you accomplish breakthroughs in all avenues of your life with time. Surely you can correct your problems now then no? Right now. https://youtu.be/wbgYh-ULLNw
For me, I'll say when I first dedicated I had a lot of zeal that I don't have now, but that's farcical for me. My nature is zealous in of itself. When I find myself at the next crossroads in life I'll probably be that pent up again lol. But meanwhile I'm not just gonna sit and wait for that, there's a lot of time to do stuff meanwhile right, at a moderate-fast pace too.. or slow with stuff that needs patience.
Youth is overrated in that sense. Hormones confuse things and only rarely, really charge someone up into the right direction. You have lots of time to do stuff either way. You exist always.
Johnny Rotten says: "only a fool looks back to the past" and I listened. Don't worry about the past or the future, focus on the here and now with the absolute certainty and intent of a strong mind, and you'll be growing. When you need a point of reference on how or where to grow, then consult the past or future, but don't bother worrying about it.
