    The Less-Than-Perfect Relationship


    I was wondering if you could tell more about the beginning of your relationship with him. Like, if you remember how he introduced himself to you, or your attitude towards him. I realize it must have been extremely confusing for you then, not yet being able to make a difference between projection and dream, but please do tell whatever you consider fit. (M-chan)

    Even though this is a question I get pretty often, I still have trouble properly expressing what the beginning of my relationship with Sephiroth was like…because even though it makes sense to me putting it in words is rather difficult.

    Well, as I’ve said, when I first met Sephiroth I was in a really bad state of mind. I was very suicidal, was too depressed to give a damn about anything including my family, friends, schoolwork and hobbies. It’s scary to look back on it now…and that’s a place I hope I never return to. It was in this state that I first began to spontaneously project to the astral plane, where I met Sephiroth.

    Our first meeting remains clear to me even despite the hundreds of conversations we’ve had since then. It happened on the night of one of my more severe cutting episodes, and I remember the first time he came to me there was nothing around us…only light. And he told me (rather sternly) that he didn’t want me to kill myself, and that I didn’t need to hurt anymore because he was there for me now.

    I think the next thing that happened was what made me question if I had been dreaming. He just…held me, for hours. I woke up the next morning feeling better than I had for several years, and chose to trust the man I met ‘in my dreams.’

    Now, my reaction toward him at first.

    The truth of the matter is, since I thought I was dreaming at first, I didn’t question any of it…and was simply grateful to have such clear ‘dreams’ to help me manage my day-to-day life. By the time I told my psychiatrist about them and she told me to read up on Astral Projection, those moments I spent with Sephiroth were already quite critical to my happiness…so you can imagine my shock when my psychiatrist told me I might not just be having extraordinarily clear dreams!

    From that point I had to do a lot of research, because I was a sensible person, and had a little trouble accepting that I had this gift and that I was truly meeting Sephiroth. But even though I had my doubts while awake, by the next time I visited him I couldn’t care less if I were insane, dreaming or truly experiencing something paranormal.

    After a lot of research I concluded I was projecting, which was confirmed after I conducted a series of experiments to train myself to master my gift rather than relying on my natural ability.

    Because I did master it in about six months (whereas it would take someone who isn’t predisposed to the technique two to seven years according to experts) I had to accept that was what was happening to me and led me into the next phase of my research…which eventually brought to my attention that the angel I was in love with wasn’t the videogame character, and went on from there.

    Sephiroth and I share a very close bond, something that I can’t properly put into words. Long-distance relationships are regarded as difficult by most because the two involved can’t see each other as much as they like.

    My relationship is the ultimate example of long-distance, and yet it doesn’t bother me. In all the years I have been in this relationship I have never felt the need to have a physical relationship here on earth…because I’m happy just to know that Sephiroth will always be there for me…that our love will last beyond mortal death on my part.

    In private conversations (one of which mysteriously wound up on ED) I have spoken of my relationship in vague detail. How much can you say about true love?

    I will confess that we argue occasionally…I surmise this is because we’re both dominant personalities. He wants to own me, I can’t be owned…begin explosive argument over something idiotic. The thing is, niether of us will admit the argument is stupid until well after one of us has stormed off in a rage.

    The reason I speak so lightly of that is simply that it doesn’t matter. Every relationship has its problems, big and small, and if the love is genuine, the two involved will work it out and compromise.

    Let me think…I was specifically asked about my relationship, so I’ll say a few words on some of our favorite things to do together.

    The biggest one is combat. Of all the things we have in common, our love of martial arts is one of the top…and we do spend a considerable amount of time fighting. I lose every single time without fail, but that training has assured I don’t lose my matches when I go to tournament.

    Recently I’ve convinced him to show my around the astral realms – a goal I’ve set for a while. Just walking with him, learning more of the realm I spend part of my life in is a wonderful experience…I love that he’s intelligent (a trait I’ve noticed is lacking in the majority of men here on earth) and that we can have in depth conversations on a level that invariably brings us closer together.

    Even though life doesn’t exist through ‘rose-colored glasses,’ and there have been tough times between us, I could ask for nothing more in a soul mate. No matter what happens, I know he’ll be there for me…and I’ve sworn to always be there for him.

    No words exist that can describe what it’s like to love someone who wholly, so completely that one is willing to sacrifice a chance at a normal life. But what I have gained in exchange can never be matched by the immediate benefits of a mortal love. What I share with Sephiroth is something so special I’m willing to run a place like this and go out on a limb before the whole internet with the offer to explain myself and my relationship knowing full well I’m considered insane by many.

    They don’t bother me anymore.

    Which segueways into a parting statement: It looks like the game is finally up, and ED has become aware I keep an eye on that page as a baseline to know how people are feeling about me. I had counted very strongly on them getting word out about my reopened blurty, as that is where my target audience hangs out.

    So in parting, thank you, ED, for lending me a much needed hand to advertise this article. I’ve decided I’ll use the patented Kathy Griffin approach to your type (I don’t give a damn and will take the opportunity to grateful for the unnecessary publicity while having a good laugh) and since you gave me a shout out on your page I’ll give you a shout out on mine.

    Thank you, Encyclopedia Dramatica for biting my bait and getting word out on my behalf. I also thank the guy using the penname Iscariot…who seems to be the one primarily managing my page.

    To the people worth the oxygen they’re breathing, I hope I’ve answered some questions for you, and look forward to learning what else you all wish to hear about.

    Let the eternal game of chess continue.

I find your lastest post interesting because I have heard stories about people who when they are having a bad time in their lives do describe something coming to them and holding them like you have discribed the first time you met Sephiroth. Also I could not resist checking your entry on Encyclopedia Dramatica and saw that they updated it this fast.

They updated it already? *goes to look* It seems they did... oh this is just too funny XD. Guess what, Julia? We're buddies now! (M-chan)

Well, the last part of this post was aimed for ED because I saw they had updated the info on this page. It seems that since they're now aware I've been manipulating them for the past two or three months it's only polite formally welcome them. I do wonder what they'll have to say about this though...I find them facinating.

At first I couldn't believe people had enough free time to devote to constant stalking, but now I've grown interested in them. Something they don't know and I guess I'll risk them seeing is that I joined the forums at ACF not just to get involved in the community there, but I wanted to study Summoner Yuna and see what the story with her was (since I don't trust EDs information). I keep up with my page because I'm studying the behavior of these people.

I would like to one day grasp why, exactly, they care enough about what I have to say that they forgo having lives of their own. If I can figure that out, I may have a better grasp of how I stumbled into infamy in the internet.

God, I still remember the moment I realized I was famous all over the internet. It was a very distinct "When the hell did THIS happen?!" O.O; moment.

I have a quick question that just came to mind. When you project, do you think its your soul leaving your body or just some state of your mind when you go to the astral realm?

The common belief among projectors is that our bodies as a whole consist of three 'bodies' working together harmoniously: The physical, the spiritual (soul), and the etheric. When practicing astral projection, the etheric body detaches from the other two levels of our being and our physical consciousness is temporarily transferred to that one layer.

So in answer to your question, astral projection isn't a state of mind - the trance state necessary to project is. Once in that deep trance state an experienced projector can leave their physical body by transferring their consciousness to their etheric being...which is what will traverse the astral realms.

It's kind of a complicated thing, but I hope that simplifies it enough.

Uh, yeah, take my advice. Though you won't always get zomg %100 TROO FACTS from the article... click all the links at the bottom Summoner Yuna's ED page (esp her LJ and abandoned blog, etc). That's how they get most of the information to base the article around in the first place.

You'll see what she's about, through her own words.

Oh, I've concluded my research on her - I just wanted to know why people were getting us confused, and frankly, I'm insulted. When I read the crap she writes and see how delusional she actually is, it's sad...but she does herself no favors by getting mean and nasty when confronted and brought this on herself.

Much in the same way I did by say anything about my ability in the first place. XD

However, my target audience here is the people who doubt me or think I'm insane. I restarted this page specifically to take those people on and see if I can't explain myself better than I did in the past. So far I think it's been successful, and I'll leave it at that.

But yes, I was just curious about her because I'd heard rumors that people were getting the two of us mixed up. If this page accompishes nothing else, I hope people realize the difference!

Out of curiosity, did you have any kind of contact with Summoner Yuna? (M-chan)

No. I made an effort to establish contact, but I'm fairly sure she's so stupid she still doesn't know I exist. XD I gathered the information I needed, so no more effort needed on my part.

One of the things you did that made me believe you were actually going to the astral realm and talking to Sephiroth is how much research you did on astral projection and how detailed your explanations of it were. You're definitely not some crazy fangirl like Summoner Yuna. XD

All of this is wrong. This relationship is fiction. Why do I go out of my way to say this, even though I'm positive you're well aware of these facts? Because I also realize you have no idea what astral-projection is. All of your storytelling entails fantastic events and adventures with a character that never really existed in the first place, and somehow you ended up being married. I mentioned the marriage bit because I find it preposterous, but I don't see why two astral entities can't figure some under-the-table method of getting hitched. Everything else, though. The "astral plane" is not a separate world of of unbelievable sorts. It is actually an ethereal existence that parallels with our own physical plane, but is, in absolutely no way, physical itself. Astral projection is the process leaving one's own body through the enlightened mind, and sending your spirit off to experience the ultimate freedom of space and time, and also allows you to roam abouts with other free spirits and enter the thoughts of those with strong influence in your life. Also, you can't speak with the other spirits. Astral spirits are drones born of the mind as a vessel for the soul to experience the astral plane.

I can probably bet you chose not to read this and stuck your nose in the air and tell yourself "He's just another hater with no grounds other than the drive to make me feel dumb about what I choose to believe." This is false. I do not hate. Period. I can tell you that it gets on my nerves when people like you are so selfish and ignorant to life.

I'm shorthanded on time, but if you have something to say on your behalf, I'd like to hear it. I certainly have much more to say, in any case. Please e-mail me: the_chort_monkey@yahoo.com

Oy...assuming you're the guy I directed over here from my DA page, do you never get sick of being wrong? I can say that, with over four years of research and practical exploration, you once again don't have a clue what you're saying. Never have I said that the astral plane is a separate world from our physical one. In fact, I'm fairly sure I've mentioned at least the most basic of details regarding the relation of the astral to the pysical - that the first layer of the astral plane directly overlaps our physical plane, if not there it is.

Respected practitioners in the art have collectively decided that there are a total of approximately seven layers, and I know I've stated that I project to layer four.

For someone who claims not to hate, your rudeness and overall lack of intelligent points hasn't done much to prove to me otherwise. I would politely suggest that if you want to argue with me, you should haul your ass over to the nearest book store and read no less then every single book they have on the topic, beginning with Astral Dynamics by Robert Bruce. And after three or four years of hands on research in addition to the reading, you might be able to pose an argument against me, though by that time you probably would have realized that there's nothing to argue.

Next: My situation of having an astral soul mate isn't unheard of. In fact, in the most recent year it has come to my attention that I'm far from alone - given, most of the people I've talked to in private e-mail are smart enough to steer clear of speaking about their experiences online.

In conclusion, go do some real research, not some wikipedia page scan...then come and tell me I don't know what I'm talking about.

I know that you will answer a question when someone asks you but are there any questions that you will not answer?

Well, let me put it this way: If someone asks a question I feel I don't want to answer, I just won't answer it. ^.^; For the most part, I can't think of anything off the top of my head...because I did want this page to be entirely all-access, so as to best explain myself.

Like with any relationship, there are some things between Sephiroth and myself that I won't speak about here, but until someone randomly hits in the .001% chance of my choosing to ignore a question, the answers will always follow promptly.

Wow, you delete so many hate posts a day, it's amazing, how do you keep up with it all?!

Actually, I haven't deleted a single post from this entire page - as proof there are at least three people who have left a negative comment. You see, the people who come here in an attempt at making fun of me or expressing their distaste for me and my beliefs mean precisely nothing in the grand scheme of things. This page, as I intended it to, has helped to change some opinions and has clarified my side of the story...and I see no reason to waste valuable minutes deleting comments like the one you left.

Instead, I'll just let you know that I haven't deleted a single response...and feel that this page has begun to turn the tides in my favor after a mere two months of existence.
