It’s my pleasure to say that this page appears to be doing what I had intended it to do, because in my last post someone replied saying that this page has, in fact, helped change her mind about me…at least partially. So this entry is mostly to reply to her comments and questions. I found it fascinating to read about your astral projections and meeting Sephiroth. Honestly, I used to think you were either hallucinating or making it up, but you have me mostly convinced that you're not lying now. I believe in God and angels, though it is kinda a stretch to believe that Sephiroth, an archangel who looks like the video game character, exists, but I remember reading about you saying that you read an interview that Nomura gave on his character design techniques and how the name/image for Seph came to him in a dream. I was wondering if you could expand on that point a bit. Does the archangel Sephiroth look exactly like the game character? Hair length, bangs, eye color, ect? I'm also wondering if you could tell me about your conversations with other projectors and their stories, and if the angels they meet look like game or anime characters. Thanks in advance, -Adria As I’ve said in previous entries, I’m a long, long way off from being able to say what exactly the full story is…both as applies to my gift as well as to the archangel I love. I suspect the character may have been based on the archangel because of an interview I read several years ago in which Nomura comments on his character design techniques and specifically said that the character, Sephiroth, was unique in that he dreamed the appearance and name and didn’t change it. Since I found this interview and saved it on an older-than-dirt laptop, said laptop was demolished by a particularly nasty virus and everything on the computer was lost. I’ve been searching for it again, but haven’t had luck as yet. If anyone stumbles across it and sends me the link, I would be eternally grateful! (Especially since that’s a key piece of my evidence, destroyed (presumably) by a troll with some amount of hacking experience.) Moving on, though, to answer Adria’s other question, yes, the archangel looks precisely like the videogame character. And that links back to the first question: if Sephiroth (the archangel) is the inspiration for the character. I believe this is the case, but I could easily be wrong because the astral plane is so vast and I know so little about it as compared to a permanent resident of that plane or, as is Seph’s case, of divine origin. I’m just a poor mortal, and probably incapable of grasping the full complexity of that realm. I have spoken to other projectors who have astral soul mates, most recently to someone in a situation that is comparatively the most similar to mine – though the differences are still quite obvious. For her privacy I won’t disclose too much about her (unless she writes me and says that’s alright…I’d hate to bring the whole internet down on her like it was brought down on me!) but will say that my situation isn’t entirely unheard of. This came as a surprise to me, because I hadn’t had too much interaction with other projectors until fairly recently…and had no idea that there were other people in the same sort of mess I’ve found myself in. There are several possibilities regarding Sephiroth’s identity, and I’ve already stated the choice I believe is most likely, but for the sake of thoroughness, I will mention the other. 2.) The being I know as Sephiroth could be an entirely different being all together, who had assumed this identity because it was what I needed at the time. The problem with that theory is that the bond I share with Seph is so great that if this were the case he would have known I’ve been ready for that possibility for a couple of years now. I even asked him about this early in our relationship and he denied the possibility. I’m inclined to trust him, but that is the second most-likely theory. Like I’ve said before, I’m a ways off from totally understanding what has happened to me, but assure everyone that I’ll be working hard toward understanding it probably for the rest of my life and possibly even beyond. The last thing I’ll say publicly has to do with the way I refer to Sephiroth as an archangel. In some of my posts I’ve exchanged commentary with someone who doesn’t have the same belief system I do – more specifically, they don’t believe in God, heaven, hell, angels, etc. I use the word archangel because that’s the word I was given, but for all I know it could be just a synonym for spirit guide, guardian, etc. So even though I tend to refer to things from my Catholic/Christian background, that doesn’t mean I want to imply my beliefs are fool-proof because of my experiences, and I in no way mean to bring religion into this anymore than is absolutely necessary. I don’t think any of us here on the mortal realms can say that their religion is ‘right’ or that other religions are ‘wrong,’ because in the end it’s all about what that individual believes. Personally, I think it’s very possible that all religions worship the same God under different names…and for that reason hope that my terminology can be regarded as my best attempt at being unbiased and encourage all who read this to sub in whatever words they prefer for mine.
