Mystics have warned for centuries to not go too fast when it comes...

A few reasons why this can lead to alot of harm a thread.
If higher awareness floods in faster than your mind can process, it can trigger confusion, paranoia, or dissociation. People sometimes mistake every thought or sensation for a "message from the divine," blurring the line between grounded intuition and delusion.
Your body acts as the vessel for consciousness. Sudden expansion (from intense meditation, psychedelics, or energy practices) can overwhelm the vagus nerve, hypothalamus, or limbic system, leading to anxiety, insomnia, or even seizures. Integration requires slow strengthening, like conditioning muscles before heavy lifting.
Rising too fast without humility can make someone feel “chosen” or “above” others, leading to arrogance. This cuts them off from grounded compassion, and ironically keeps them stuck in another trap of the ego, believing they are already “finished.”
Kundalini and other energy systems flow in stages. Forcing them upward without clearing blockages can create stuck energy in the spine, headaches, or emotional explosions. It’s like forcing water through clogged pipes, pressure builds and things break.
Expanding into cosmic awareness too fast can make mundane life (work, relationships, responsibilities) feel meaningless. Instead of integrating higher wisdom into daily living, people may become detached, unable to function, or prone to escapism.
