solitude and creativity

I reason not.

Reason is the trickster of inner self's freedom. It temps you to trade your desire for comfort and new over the old.

Throughout our lives we've accepted that reason is a sort of currency in the world of imagination, you want to convince someone of something in return for the feeling of having their trust and do so through language. But words have no place in the world of imagination, they build roads that limit the inner man from going where he wishes to go. We've accepted that to convince self, or be convinced, has to be through words of logical reason.

It's only when we truly go within and feel around that we realize how limiting words themselves can be. Realize this, trying to reason yourself into why and how you are what you want to be will also be how you reason yourself out of it. As the inner man you don't have explain why u are who you want to be, why you have your desire through words and then hope it works.

Are you trying to convince the 3D or yourself?

Because then after the acceptance of doubtful event, your inner self feels " I don't have it" and is met with you saying "no i do have it now, look" then you proceed to imagine different things in an attempt at changing things in the 3D bc you believe satisfaction lies there, only to spiral further and panic.

Do not trust in my advice to be the full proof answer that will finally make u manifest but trust in your ability to understand and guide yourself through it, you can take my words and make them your own.

If creation is finished, then to desire is to have because it exists, you desire it because it exists and how could u want sth beyond your comprehension or its existence? you reason yourself into why you should go into the kitchen if you're hungry? Do you reason why you are in your bed right now?

Trying to reason or explain why you have what you want is the outer man trying to find a logical way things would happen through his limited sight, because he does not see what you, the inner man feels.

I know it can be incredibly difficult for some of you to silence the thoughts of reason, but the point is not to silence thoughts. It's about choosing not to deal with them.

I remember a time after I decided to let go of my negative thoughts, it was only because I cared only about what I wanted to feel, rather than what I should. Reason tried to argue with me but I would always shut it down with "but I really do not care" because I didn't, I didn't care how real it was or even I'd it was real, if I was doing it right. I only cared about feeling it for myself.

If you have to use words and reason yourself into it, you'll find yourself stuck bc words can be limiting to the inner man who feels beyond man made language. We put our feelings into words, but we know that what we feel is far greater than what we say. In a change of state you won't have to explain how you have what you want when you're met with doubt.

You don't reason with your thoughts,you don't reason against objects, you're going against yourself and trying to convince yourself at the same time. It is the same as " well I can't make it happen in the 3D but I have to find a way to materialize it by imagining and if I convince myself then I'll finally have it "

The feeling (acceptance) of self is all that matters and the core of Neville's laws. Neville never imagined to "get out" of a situation or "make something happen" he did it to change himself. He imagined being in Barbatos-the complete opposite environment where he was- to convince himself he was already there, not to forcefully feel happy or greatful, but to show himself proof he was there, and the outer world followed.

Instead of using words as your way to get by in imagination, bring life to it through feeling. Reason might be your currency but belief is your fortune.

omg working with deities sounds so cool! probably a stupid question but how does that work?

oh! well it changes a lot depending on the deity(ies) you're thinking of! for instance, the way people work with the christian god is a bit different from the way people work with the greek gods. it also changes a lot from person to person. some people like to pray while others never do.

i know this isn't a great answer but if you're interested in working with a deity, i would recommend researching them first! research their history, how people worked with them in the past and now, etc!

in general though, i'd say some common things are talking to them (out loud, in your head, through writing, however you want really), asking for advice/help/companionship, and giving them things (energy, gifts, answers, it really depends on the deity)/helping them in return. again, this does depend on who you're working with and how often so this whole list could be wrong for some deities. definitely do research if there's a specific one you want to work with!

Once again reminding everyone to start their research into the Greek and Roman gods with theoi.com. I cannot convey to you how helpful the translations and (most importantly) vettings are. Yes, yes, Ovid is on there, but it tells you about who said what, what they said, and the time period it was made. From there, you can continue your research and learn more!
