Re: Maybe it's Magi[k]c

Interesting, that makes me wonder whether I have always been intertwined with Lu - whether his appearance at about 7 or 8 was just the earliest that a conversation between us could take place (concrete thought develops at about 7)
 Quoting: Caylus Ark


Qarin recalls of Ava's Demon. Great web comic...as you know.

Western children are not taught about these things, that a good portion of the world is.

We are told 'they don't exist' and such that, we don't really talk about how much they really do.

It is both sad and perfect in its suppression.
 Quoting: Seer777


yes, absolutely! I subjugated Lu awhile myself once I started to get to the age where children are no longer allowed to have imaginary friends....12 or 13, I was ignoring him until maybe 17 or so, when I figured if society wouldn't allow for me to sanely have a daemon, I simply wouldn't tell anybody about him.

Funnily enough though, during that time period I literally ritual summoned a female spirit to help me with a certain wish (I call her Kyo) - so despite ignoring Lu I ended up with another daemon, this one a bit more how shall I put this... 'volatile'

at that time I was young and naive and believed that my feeble attempts at conjuring were no more then farts in the wind so I didn't understand what I was binding to myself.

I have since divested myself of that contract by releasing the spirit I'd bound with it. It took me awhile to figure that out , though (oops....)
 Quoting: Caylus Ark


I understand the hiding all too well. I suppose some of us are far better at it than others, due necessity.

Did you see him a lot as a child?


Are you saying you were knowledgeable of conjuring as a child? Who taught you?
 Quoting: Seer777


when I conjured kyo I could not have been rightly called a child. that was at 13-14. nobody taught me. the knowledge was in my blood despite the fact that I'd been a rigid atheist, rationalist and non-spiritualist since 10-11. somehow the need for whatever it is the 13 year old heart desires was so much I was willing to forget my skeptic allegiance and perform a ritual summoning, not that I'd expected it to work.

now the following is merely a childhood mythology, but it is rather interesting -

when i was 7 and lu spoke to me for the first time he also told me of my own past, told me a history that would be outside of my human capacity to recall, but once he spoke of it he unlocked it in me, my memories of before birth

that's how I knew that I came from a race that called itself First of the Nine Spheres

back when lu introduced himself to me he claimed my enemy and the enemy of all living things was 'scan'.

I tried to forget this but 'there's always something there to remind me'

b : an image of a bodily part produced (as by computer) by combining ultrasonic or radiographic data obtained from several angles or sections
See scan defined for English-language learners


[link to images.search.yahoo.com (secure)]

the story as I learned it was that humanity would be destroyed by 'scan' and the 'shedkonians', who lived outside the boundary of normal existence. my purpose in being incarnate (a brute force operation, that is I had to steal an incarnation - even a soul - that was not mine because it was an emergency) was to fight 'scan' .

when I was little back then I'd protect myself from his international gaze by shielding my home and heart with protective energy bubbles. society taught me that this was a pointless exercise in futility, so I stopped. ultimately, I wish I'd kept working with the energy of my imagination, since back then it was so blitzingly powerful that anything I thought of would be physically evident to me

of course thinking on it now 'scan' seems to be 'the machine', doesn't it? as a child though scan himself was a king of a race, shadow people that lived by feeding off the light of the living

also patterned on the collective unconscious, funnily:
The Anti-Spiral race (;, Hanrasen Zoku, "Anti Spiral Tribe"?), or simply the Anti-Spirals (, Anchisupairaru?), is a mysterious species of humanoid beings that realized the danger of the Spiral Nemesis long ago. They found the means to cease their own evolution by purging themselves of Spiral Power, trapping them in a state of suspended animation as their collective consciousness took form to purge the universe of all Spiral beings

When the population exceeded one million, a single Mugann appeared to begin the attack while Nia, their messenger, was awakened. The moon (really the Super Galaxy Dai-Gurren) began to collide with the Earth to destroy all spiral life on the planet. When Rossiu Adai attempted to escape with a small portion of the human population to space in the Arc-Gurren,[...]They then knocked the Super Galaxy Dai-Gurren into the Death Spiral Field, causing the attempt to create the Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann to fail since the Death Spiral Field drains all occupants of Spiral Power.

When Team Dai-Gurren escaped while also absorbing all the Spiral Power the sea had absorbed over time allowing the Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann to emerge, they tried to fight back with more Ashtanga and mass-produced Hastagry and Pada mechas, but were defeated quickly. The Anti-Spiral then sealed Team Dai-Gurren away in the Extradimensional Labyrinth. [...]

The Anti-Spiral is depicted as being omniscient, omnipresent and nigh-omnipotent in their home universe. They have the ability to replicate Spiral lifeform traits (for example, Granzeboma and its drills). They can freely appear anywhere in the Gurren Lagann multiverse and can produce mechas for combat.

Their attacks are powerful enough to create and destroy entire universes, such as the Infinity Big Bang Storm, which has the power of a Big Bang explosion. Their abilities have been shown to rip holes through multiple dimensions, showing that their power is on a God-like scale, furthered by the fact that they can alter the fundamental laws of reality, such as altering probability and creating matter much larger than any galaxy out of thin air.

They can freely move between dimensions (much like powerful Spiral Warriors), and can even create and destroy entire new dimensions. They can create an entire universe in which they have control over all factors such as space-time and probability. The only being in the Gurren Lagann multiverse that is shown to be their equal is Simon, who surpasses them in the end.

Yes. I understand being haunted by one's choices, all too well.

I once took a piece of broken brick which lay just feet from a solitary confinement cell in, Alcatraz.

Down at the very bottom. You have to ask a 'ranger' to get down there. There was sand under the brick...

It was stupid on my part but I felt completely compelled to do so.

I've been looking for this clip for years...

Netflix put Total Recall up for streaming and I just started watching it again 20 minutes ago.

Funny thing. I noticed in the screen it was Re'k'all.

Rekall.

wait, it was Re'k'all on netflix? blink

I think I catch your drift, I know the plot of the movie because of the more recent episode of southpark parodying virtual reality and that movie - i really want to see it now though especially after watching that.

if all existence is mirrors, would that make God a narcissist?

No. The movie is 'Recall' I saw it in the screen in the commercial while watching the movie. Rekall.

Sorry Quaid, your whole life is just a dream...


I have often wondered if we are repeating some kind of chosen but still subject to chance reality, when we incarnate on Earth.

I think it...could be a game. A game Man(?) created. To extend consciousness into eternity...

Re: Maybe it's Magi[k]c
for the USN, the concept would provide a way to produce a mechanically noiseless wave propulsion machine! lol

and the amount of lubricating fuel needed would be minimal, not to mention that the need for nuclear fuel would also be dramatically decrease.

this is a almost self propelling, stealth ship.

I have also had that thought....

The story centers on a circular animal-like creature that is missing a wedge-shaped piece of itself. It doesn’t like this, and sets out to find its missing piece, singing:

Oh, I'm lookin' for my missin' piece
I'm lookin' for my missin' piece
Hi-dee-ho, here I go
lookin' for my missin' piece

It starts out on a grand adventure searching for the perfect piece to complete itself, while singing and enjoying the scenery. But after the circle finally finds the exact-sized wedge that fits it, it begins to realize that it can no longer do the things it used to enjoy doing, like singing or rolling slowly enough to enjoy the company of a worm or butterfly. It decides that it was happier when searching for the missing piece than actually having it. So it gently puts the piece down, and continues searching happily.

that's why the analogy of the source being like a fractal has always made sense to me. the book of changes is eternally becoming, ever incomplete

if the unity consciousness had been perfect when it was whole, then why would the Gods have become like men....

I think people, when left to their own devises, do what they can, when they can. The vast majority.

Most are very hard workers. Good thinkers. Who also think while they work. To discover new route to make work less hard.

Praise the engineer. Indeed.


I believe most have good intention, however skewed by present belief.
