The success of a lot of work, esp. inner work, is predicated on having resistance to work against. Without that, it's hard to find traction.

Doing entirely my own, eclectic thing is not a result of me doing something right, but rather of a shortcoming: I'm bad at following.

Have you read any Robert Anton Wilson? Prometheus Rising is an amazing book, lots of great stuff on stages of consciousness development

I know RAW, but spottily. I've watched some lectures he held late in his life, read various quotes... mostly read thinkers influenced by him

His books are much better than his lectures imo. I found it useful how he explains the overlaps in Jung, chakra, and magick systems (!)
