There are people who do, what we would call, lower sorcery. It is best not to be concerned with them. They are not happy people and they can't be a problem if you are aware of what they are doing.

As the kundalini energy increases, as the energy of the psyche becomes more pronounced, which it does as thought becomes eclipsed by silence, all the variant mind states burn away.
