i was recently thinking about inviting a spirit or jinn of some sort to share my body. im sure an entity with no corporeal form would enjoy the change and im sure i could put the extra energy to use. obviously there is potential danger. i realize that. i would just like to hear your opinions on whether or not i should do it, and if i do, how to go about it, or what kinda spirit to invite.
Although im sure this is probably not the answer you wanted, I would still share my opinion with you since it could be helpfull as an alternative to your request. (IMG:

All the energy you require is allready within you(even if at small doses based on your daily use of that energy). If you wish to get more or just need more for some reason, the best way would be(logicaly) doing more on a daily basis or requesting it from your own core for a specific need if you feel you are lacking.
You can at the same time take from natural resources around you(wether the core of the planet or anything else "nature" wise) as a safe alternative that has little to no side effects that will bother you in daily life.
The reason im not recommending or suggesting ways to achieve the goal you asked about is because of several concerns. Spirits\entites(which ever you may try to contact) are unpredictable and may cheat you on "deals" quite often just like people would. Also what your suggesting is not a fair deal when they are allready getting what they wanted(which is sharing your phisical body\senses and mind) and at the same time they are not obligated afterwards to do what they promised in return or what you expected. Getting rid of an external entity\spirit is much easier then trying to do so when its swimming around inside and polluting your energetic system.
Also it is a common belief in the path i chose that your energy, your personal energy, is the best kind for you and any other may either pollute your energetic system or degrade it. Not negating the use of external energy other then your own by will alone for a certain idea or goal but why go through the trouble of doing so if, and that is only an assumption correct me if its untrue(based on what you wrote and asked for), you still lack the tools to do so.
In conclusion i would also add another point of view that you may try to "call" or "summon" a certain something specific that you wish for and you may end up with something else pretending to be just that. Could be very unpleasent if you do not have the tools yet to distinguish between them.
You just seem inexpirienced to me in dealing with these "beings"(either jin or whatever you may call them) and again i apologise ahead of time if i am wrong(otherwise it doesnt seem logical to me you would be asking what you asked for) since it is not my intention to insult you or your current ideas of magick. Anyway, even if some of what i wrote may be irrelevant in your mind i would be very glad if you at least considered my words before setting your sights on achieveing this goal at the current time.
(my personal opinion on the matter)
Best of luck! (IMG:
