In my experience the advice was not practical in the real world; or world of delusion. We really need an external guide like the Map of Consciousness to act as a companion for the wisdom text. It would also be greatly beneficial to include sacred ceremony and protection practices and rites against black magic. Black magic hurts. Bad. And when it destroys your life despite all of you best efforts to not take it personally....it's impossible to maintain. So, for me, under extreme duress, the advice written is impotent.
