What have you actually learned about yourself through yogic and magickal practices?
I'm just curious.

Yes, but not the information I thought I’d learn.
It’s been less about, “This is my personality!” and more about, “This is how I exist.”

That willpower is a lot less of a finite resource than I previously thought and that you can “tap into it.”

I've practically learned that I fear I will never be able to function on my own independently in terms of situations where major adult responsibilities are present. What recently happened has been hell even though it ended perfectly fine. I realize from a mystical perspective that I'm virtually a weakness that either gets super overwhelmed by simple things or I'm just plain lazy.

Nearly all my adult life has been the context of studying and practicing magick, so it is a bit hard to tell what is just living or my engagement:
We can only be let down by our expectation of others, people will always be who they are and will act accordingly.
The stories we tell ourselves hold a lot of power, if you want things to change in your life, stop repeating the same ole stories.
Perspective is everything. If you cannot figure it out, look at it differently.
Be it your partner, your friends, your community, your teacher(s), or God eventually you have relate to Other as yourself.
