Near the beginning of my posts, I mentioned that I had all but ruled out Sephiroth being another being merely using that appearance and name. And finally, I’ve gotten my hands on the book with the information to write this entry. I believe I told you all that I had accidentally had it packed into storage when I moved, and had to buy a new one. And while this isn’t an uncommon book, I still had to order it in, and finally picked it up today, allowing me to write this entry – one of the first I had wanted to, but merely didn’t have the resource to do so. And so, without further ado, Spirits could lie using information they acquire through the [Akashic Hall] and the mental plane. For this reason, [one] needs to have a, accurate way of testing the identity of what he or she [encounters]. Luckily, there is an effective system for determining an entity’s identity. The first step of this process is for [one] to learn as much about an entity as possible before evoking it. Careful notes should be made of what type of entity it is, its office, the names of its superiors, its appearance, its talents, its areas of expertise, etc. Then when the entity appears, [one] should as it what its name is…If it answers correctly, than it may be who it says it is. If it gives you a name you never heard of, chances are its not. Sometimes an entity will answer in a kind of code. If you make an accurate list of the spirit’s known attributes, then even coded answers could make sense…But no matter what the spirit says, it is a good idea to put its identity to the ultimate test. Simply ask it to sign its name, either in a book you provide, in the air, or on the surface of an [evocation] mirror, if that is the type of evocation you’re performing (for an explanation of spirit signatures, see chapter 6). For some reason, entities cannot sign any other name besides their own. This is the most foolproof of all identification methods. ~ Konstantinos, Summoning Spirits Okay, so I know that was a really long segment of text. The book this was taken from is actually on magickal evocation, and though I tried to edit out the information not really necessary, that’s the best I could do, so just ignore the references to the craft. Really, the last two sentences are all you need to read, though I felt having the rest of that segment typed out puts it into better context. And at any rate, there you have it. Like I’ve mentioned in other entries, I have done what I can to confirm the identity of the being I’m wed to, and when I asked him to do this particular test, he did sign ‘Sephiroth.’ So that’s why I’ve mostly ruled out the possibility of him being someone other than who he says he is. This is a fairly challenging thing to prove, as you may guess, because this is a field in which acquiring hard proof of what I say is all but impossible. Other metaphysical practitioners and researchers often have some way to prove what they see – ghost hunters have a whole mess of electronic equipment to pick up proof of ghostly presence…even the UFO, sasquatch and Loch Ness monster hunters have something to present as proof that what they believe exists does, in fact, exist. My field, astral projection, is much harder to present hard proof of, which is why I’ve been going to all this trouble to use these references from other authors in my field, as well as in others, because really, that’s the best I’ve got for the time being. I suppose this would be a good entry to mention that even though I am at a disadvantage for hard proof, I am searching for a way to physically prove myself. The problem I’ve been running into is that no matter what evidence I could potentially present if any of my ideas worked, proving the validity of said proof would be almost impossible, especially if I were putting it on the internet. The reason I have this evocation book is that this seems to be a good way to potentially get some proof of my claims. The concept I believe this would work in would be if I could become skilled enough to perform a full-body evocation to the physical plane, I could theoretically take a photograph to prove Sephiroth’s existence. But I can already hear what they would say about that. ‘You photoshopped that picture.’ ‘It’s fake.’ And even my main argument, that if I wanted to fake evidence I could have done so ages ago, wouldn’t do much to change minds. Psychics I encounter often say they feel Sephiroth with me…even my current psychiatrist (whom I love for her interest in metaphysics and her background in psychic work) says she can feel him near me. But that’s just spoken word, and I fear I may never be able to definitively prove myself. I would like to hear what my readers think by way of other things I could try to present proof. I’ve been thinking about it so long I sincerely doubt I could think of anything new by this point…I’ve just been going in circles about the best approach. But for the time being, I have this article, and I hope this entry has shed a little light on the situation. Post a comment in response: |
