I've been a student of bardon... kind of on and off for about a year and a half now.... and it tends to dwell on personal growth and the like.... but I've been studying magic in general, mostly heart- chakra type activities under a teacher..... recently we've had a..... falling out of sorts, because I didn't bend to his will the way he wanted me to...... and anyway... I have a strong feeling that some bad things will soon fall upon him or rather his plans will fall apart, and he is going to blame me directly for it and a confrontation will be inevitable...... since our falling out I decided convert to strictly hermetic studies because it has interested me since I first learned of bardon...... and I was wondering what the hermetic view is on confrontations and what should be done about them and during them when they come up....... it's a long story what caused this chain of events and I don't wish to bore you with the details, but I'm just wanting to know what I (as a student of hermetics) should do, supposing this confrontation occurs as I believe it will... any advice and/or suggestions would be welcomed...... I intend to work ferverously through IIH (starting again from scratch) in order to strengthen my position in the situation, but if there's any other tips someone can give me on how to deal with it I would greatly appreciate it... I believe I will have about 2 or 3 months to prepare, so if there's any outside IIH sources that anyone knows about that I should study/meditate on that would be beneficial to me as well...... thanks Chris
