So I have not studied Hermeticism at all, but I plan on studying as much as possible. I have some smaller questions before I get to the big on about the photo. First, any suggested books that I should read? second is any suggested techs I should learn?

so here goes: In this photo: hermeticism.tribe.net/photos/...17867a57

what is the sphere in front of the persons forehead? Because I have felt something there for most of my life. it feels like a dense mass, that seems to block my awareness. I've tried to run Gunas on it, which allowed me to remote view(I was looking around my roof with it.) . I've had a Babalawo(Ifa) try blasting it with a didgeridoo, which is a form of thoughtform removel. All that did what give my body a shock. So it is a part of me. Any Ideas?
