Questions and Answers - Part 3


It seems my Q&A post will be a little earlier than normal, due to an influx of amazing questions contributed by the frequent readers here on my blurty. So thanks to all of you, for making sure I’m kept busy and active on this website.

R.C.W Freshman: Is it possible for two mortals to communicate with each other while both are within the astral realm?

Yes, but it's difficult. To explain it in terms of our physical world, it would be like trying to meet up with someone you may or may not have actually met, and telling them you'll be wearing a red tee-shirt, but forgetting to mention where, exactly, you're supposed to meet (not to mention when). It's one of the most trying tasks a projector can undergo, and one that even the most seasoned expert can't undertake lightly. For my part, I've never encountered another projector from earth...I suspect this is because I reside on a higher plane than your average projector can access.

Of the seven layers, over 85% of all projectors cannot move past layer three. I reside primarily on level four, and rarely progress downward, because downward holds nothing for me and doesn't interest me.

My focus of study is layer five and up...and even I can't travel to layers six and seven.

So as a summarized answer, yes, two mortals can meet up, but the circumstance would be one in a million.

Ladybow: What kind of things about him annoy you, and what about you annoys him?

One of my biggest pet peeves about him is that he will randomly become unavailable for a week, ten days, two weeks, whatever...doing something he can't tell me anything about. It's unfair of me, certainly, but I wish he could tell me at least what he's doing while he can't come to see me. As for what annoys me about him, I'd have to say probably that he expects some things of me (such as his opinion that I should practically belong to him) that I won't bend to. There isn't a lot I won't do for him, but I retain my independence.

Ladybow: Has he ever said/thought anything that really hurts your feelings? (consistant things, included)

There is one thing in particular that really hurts me in regard to what he says/does. After all the years we've been together, he still doesn't trust me completely. It seems like whenever I happen to be spending a lot of time with one of my male friends (my favorite sparring partner, for instance) it seems like he automatically assumes that I'm attracted to this guy and gets irritated.

Long distance relationships are tough, and his paranoia is understandable, but really...after all these years you'd think he would realize I'm not planning to just leave him.

Ladybow: Vice a versa?

Vice versa? I wouldn't know...he plays his cards fairly close to his chest, so I can't say for sure. If I had I think he would tell me (I've told him), but I don't know.

Ladybow: Ever been in a huge fight?

Yes. Regarding a friend of mine I had in high school - he had a huge crush on me, and I felt sorry for him, so I consented to go to homecoming with him as a one time thing. But somehow between me agreeing to go to homecoming with him and the end of that sentence leaving my mouth he decided we were seriously dating and I didn't have the backbone to set him straight right away, because he was my friend and I didn't want to hurt him. But that incident was nearly the end of my relationship with Sephiroth.

Past that, not really. I feel like a wimp for admitting this, but I make an effort to not do the things that would annoy him. I've figured out what those are, for the most part, and I'm okay with restricting myself from doing some of the things I might have done if he wasn't in my life.

Ladybow: What's one important subject both of you can't seem to understand each other on?

The issue of my loyalty to him, hands down. No matter how many times I tell him that I'm physically incapable of falling in love with anyone else, he still suspects me of flirting with some of the men here on earth...and I don't. It's really frustrating.

Ladybow: Has he ever accidentally hurt you when you were training together?

This is kind of a complex question, relating to the interaction of the three parts of the human body (physical, spiritual and etheric) and is a little difficult to explain. Depending on you belief system / how well read you are, many metaphysical practitioners believe that the etheric body (what actually travels to the astral plan) controls the flow of energies through our being. If damaged (say, during training) it can manifest physically as minor illnesses / ailments (like a cold or headache) but usually is naturally repaired within a couple of days.

So yes, I have gotten hurt during training, but the injuries I sustained on the astral plane don't directly manifest back to my physical body.

Ladybow: What's something about him when dealing with you that you wish was different?

I wish he could learn to trust me as completely as I trust him.

M-chan: What -does- make him laugh?

Usually it's pretty random, and usually I'm not even expecting it...but usually it's something totally off the wall. One incident I remember was back when I first learned some people online had gotten me confused with Summoner Yuna, at which point I read up on her and was thoroughly disgusted.

Because things like this bother me, I mentioned it to him, outlined some of her more spectacular moments of sub-human intelligence...and he laughed at me for getting annoyed that I was being confused for her.

I think human behavior in general amuses him, because to a spiritually advanced being like him...I'm sure we seem pretty dumb sometimes. Our petty concerns and interactions probably seem very funny...because our wishes and whims are, for the most part, fairly shallow. In retrospect I shouldn't have been so offended by the Summoner Yuna thing, but it seemed important at the time! XD

I suppose I have to thank ED for graciously clearing that up for the internet.

But that's normally the type of thing that entertains him.

Adria: I hate to sound morbid, but, what do you think will happen when you die? Do you think you can go be with Sephiroth?

'I hate to sound morbid,' but I'm looking forward to dying. XD No, I'm just kidding. Your question is actually one I know the answer to! Sephiroth has already told me that when I die, I'll be able to be with him forever...possibly even assist him in his work (which, seeing as how I'm still among the living he can't tell me anything about).

The old cliché is true, you know...death really is just the start of another adventure, and because of my experiences on the astral plane and my relationship with Sephiroth, I'm not afraid of death.

I remember several years ago, on February 6, 2004, two of my very good friends were killed in a car crash on their way to school. The road was icy, and the driver was speeding. Of the four people in the car, two were killed - including one of the first friends I made in high school...and I found out throughout the day as teachers leaked information they shouldn't have, so by the end of the day I knew.

And I was terrified.

Even though I was already in my current relationship, I had never really thought about what would happen after I died. I guess I accepted that, as a Catholic, I was promised a place in heaven for being a good girl...but as I started reading and researching I admit to having doubts, until I eventually asked Sephiroth, and he not only told me that my friends were alright, but told me that when my time came, I would be with him forever.

And I think that guarantee is just about as good as a mortal can get.

Allegra: How often do you see Sephiroth?

I try to see Seph at least three or four times a week. I would, of course, see him every night if I were able, but the mechanics of astral projection make it difficult. You see, to an onlooker - say if, someone walked into a projector's room - they would appear to be asleep, but the reality is because you're projecting, your body isn't restoring itself like it would during a real night's sleep.

So to continue functioning here on earth, I have to plan out nights that I'm just going to sleep. (Which isn't to say I haven’t' been known to be very irresponsible about that on occasion.)

Of course, there are a lot of factors that influence a projector's ability to project...such as illness, or just plain exhaustion.

I guess that's as clarified as I can get.

Allegra: How does spending so much time in another universe affect your relationship with this world and the people in it- do you think it makes you feel a bit detached? Or do you think of it more like going on a trip and then returning home?

The affects of spending a considerable amount of time in a realm other than our physical one vary from projector to projector. For me, I think the most noticeable thing in the beginning was maturity. When I started to project I was still in my early teens, but had a lot of trouble relating to my peers because I saw things so differently from them. I had two friends in middle school that I remember clearly...they disgusted me. XD They would sit around the lunch table, huddled over some magazine or other, and the only phrases I could hear from them as they turned the pages was 'oh, he's really cute!'

I never went through that early-teen obsession with celebrities and whatnot, and feel that was a direct result of my ability to project and my relationship.

The other thing I noticed, that has persisted throughout all this time...is that I'm not as engaged in what's going on around me here on earth as most twenty-year-olds. I rarely go out of my way to start a conversation with someone I don't know, and unless they approach me I could go the whole semester in that class without even learning their name.

It's kind of weird, because I am living in two realms simultaneously, and the physical realm becomes less and less interesting every day.

Some people might consider that a drawback...but it doesn't bother me.

I'm just...naturally more inclined to spend time with my pets than other people.

But again, this doesn't hold true for every projector. That's just me...and I'm an Aquarius, so maybe that also has something to do with it...we Aquarians are known for being a little detached.

I hope that answers your questions - those two were very good! A little complicated though...so I hope I didn't confuse you! XD

M-chan: I imagine that you talk to him in English. Doesn't it feel odd to you that a being like him talks in a human language? Also, how do you -hear- the words both you and him speak? Just like in real life or is it something different?

Yes, I speak to him in English, but I suspect that as an archangel he could speak whatever language he wanted to / needed to. I don't really find it odd that he speaks a human language, since with my Catholic background there are numerous areas in the bible that reference angels talking with humans. And, yes, I do hear his words and mine like it was a conversation going on between two mortals on the physical plane.

I guess to kind of relate it to another metaphysical topic, the art of scrying (getting images/impressions from a crystal ball or dish of water, etc) is very much reliant on the 'third eye' or, in the terms I would use as a projector, astral sight and hearing - alternatively, clairvoyance and clairaudience in the physical world.

So on the astral plane, it's really just like what you'd hear talking with someone else.

M-chan: Is he ever in a really bad mood or not very talkative?

Seph has been known to get a little bit moody, or just not interested in talking. I think (though I can't confirm) that this ties into him having a bad day at work or something of the sort, and when such a time occurs, I usually am content to just sit with him for a while and hope that being there for him helps...because I know that when I'm in a bad mood having him nearby really does me a lot of good.

M-chan: When it comes to clothing, is he dressed exactly like the game character? Does he always look the same?

No, his clothing isn't really like the videogame character...though it mostly is black. What he wears changes a lot...normally it's something like a dress shirt and a pair of jeans.

M-chan: You mentioned that neither of you is particularly romantic... if I'm not trespassing, could you give and example of a romantic thing that you/him do (or say)?

Well...hmm...I guess all I can really say about this is that for us, it's really an all or nothing sort of mood. This is one of the few things I'd rather not say too much about here, but suffice to say that if one or both of us are feeling romantic, we feel really romantic.

M-chan: Is there something he particularly likes/dislikes?

This is probably going to sound weird...but he really likes chess. XD On a more serious note, in terms of what I would know if Sephiroth were my husband here on earth, I can't say for sure...obviously neither of us needs to eat in that realm, so I don't know if he has food likes/dislikes...the same for music, etc. So it's a little hard to say with him. I know that he enjoys chess, even though I can't play to save my life.

As for dislikes...all of my male friends. XD

M-chan: Does your family know about him? (again, feel free to skip this one if it's uncomfortable)

Ah...the family. -.-; Yes, they know. My father and I fought so often about the issue of whether I was insane/lying/possessed by Satan was half of what drove me to move out as soon as I was able. It's something that we'll never see eye to eye on, and he drives me insane with his less-than-subtle hints on if I've met any new guys lately, if I'm going out with my favorite sparring partners yet...it's maddening, really.

My mother and three younger sisters know, but they won't talk about it with me. I don't think my little sisters believe me, and the one time I actually got to sit down and talk to my mother about my relationship...I made her cry. She said she was sad for me, that I was 'condemning myself to loneliness,' and was depressed that she wouldn't get any grandchildren out of me.

I love my mother dearly, and we have a great relationship...but that's the one thing I can't discuss with her or anyone else in my family.

In fact, the internet knows more about me and my relationship than anyone I know in the real world with only one notable exception - my best friend.

Pretty sad, huh? XD

(On a side note, that's another thing Sephiroth doesn't like. He dislikes that my family can't accept what I have to say and doesn't accept the relationship I have with him.)

M-chan: I confess I never expected him to wear something so... normal and common. But what about when you guys train?

Yeah...I was a little surprised at first too. XD When we're training he just wears a pair of sweatpants.

M-chan: But what about his hair and eyes? Does he have the same hair color/length as the videogame character? Most real guys wouldn't look too good with such long hair, in my opinion. Does he look better? And what about his eyes?

Anyway...Seph's hair is like the character's. Silver, nearly down to his knees, and prettier than mine. XD To be more serious though, I love his hair...it's just beautiful. -^.^- As for his eyes...we don't have a shade of green here on earth that's even equivalent.

Which leads to one of my anecdotes...I don't know if anyone here appreciates reading them, but I feel like they clarify where I'm coming from: One of my favorite things to do with my family is visit the local renaissance fair during the summer. Normally my father takes the two little sisters to the shows and games and stuff, and I go shopping with my mother and eighteen-year-old sister.

But there's one thing about the fair that drives me crazy every year - my mother and sister. Mom's married, but she and Laurel aren't actually doing any shopping...they're exchanging notes on the nearest 'cute' guy!

I don't know if I'm abnormal, but I've never once seen one of these men and thought they were even remotely attractive.

Mom and Laurel think I'm insane.

I think the five thousand men they point out just can't compare to Sephiroth.

What can I say? My family is just...very, very strange. XD

M-chan: Does he ever have the "evil" look about him?

No, Seph has never looked 'evil.' Angry, yes. Evil, never.

M-chan: Knee-length hair? Isn't that uncomfortable? Especially when training. And does he have a normal pupil or cat-like eyes?

You'd think knee-length hair would be uncomfortable...I know I would drive myself insane by sitting on it every time I sat down and pulling my own hair. XD But it doesn't seem to bother him - I guess you just get used to it after a while. When we're training, he usually just pulls it into a ponytail on the base of his neck, and it stays out of the way - I do the same thing.

I used to know a guy who had hair that long here on earth, (a Duo cosplayer...he could have been Duo!) and that's what he told me - you just get used to it after a while.

As for his eyes, they have a normal pupil, not the cat-like look that Advent Children advertised.

M-chan: Does the Astral Plane have any similarities with the physical plane that you didn't mention until now? Like, do you breathe/blink/cough there (or feel like you do)?

Well, I feel like I'm breathing, blinking, coughing, etc...but I don't think I actually am , if that makes sense. Obviously it isn't necessary, but since I inhabit a mortal body it's something that my etheric form still does, whether I need to or not. It's a little confusing.

M-chan: Are there any natural laws like gravity there? If there are, can you bend them?

All the natural laws of earth apply to the astral realm, but unlike earth they can be bent, and sometimes broken, depending on what you want to do. For example, if I really wanted to, I'm fairly sure I could fly, but the exchange would be a shortened time on the astral plane, because it would take a lot of energy to do. So I would also be a lot more exhausted come morning.

So I guess the best answer is yes, all the natural laws of earth still apply there, but only as long as any given being wants them to.

M-chan: What can you actually do and not do on such a plane?

I'm not sure there's anything you couldn't do with enough training and practice, but like I said in the first question, for a mortal, it would take up a lot of energy and leave you fairly exhausted. So it's a sort of trade off.

M-chan: Do you feel warmth/cold/pain?

Yes. All of your natural senses apply to the astral plane, so you feel the effects of, say, a long period of training. I feel hot, tired, out of breath...and usually hurt. XD I can say you definitely can feel pain...a lot - sometimes even to the extent that your physical body feels sore in the morning, if your etheric body took a lot of damage to a specific area.

A good example I have of this is the first night I was doing 'what if' training exercises with Seph. (What if you were attacked by someone who had a knife/gun/etc?) The way he teaches me is, pretty much, he shows me what I have to do...and I play the part of the attacker. So I had a knife, he asked me to charge at him and do my best to hit him - at which point he grabbed my free arm and threw me over his shoulder...into the wall. XD It hurt like hell...and all he had to say was, 'You left yourself wide open to that. Remember I can attack just as easily as you can.' Ah...tough love.

Anyway, in the morning I felt like I'd been hit by a bus.

M-chan: To what extent can you modify your environment?

Like I've said in another one of your questions different places on the astral plane are easier/harder to change than others. Similarly, some changes you make may be permanent, or just for that particular visit. But aside from those parameters, you could change it to be whatever you wanted.

If it was a major change (say, you got psychotic and decided you wanted to recreate...Midgar) it would take a lot of energy, and for all that work may or may not be permanent.

The condo I have was built mostly by Sephiroth, in an area he knew would accept the modification similarly to how earth would if a building was constructed in an empty field. But as a human, I can't tell what areas are 'good' or 'bad' for modifying.

M-chan: Does Sephiroth display abilities on the Astral Plane that you consider superior to yours?

Seph is pretty much better at everything. XD He's the superior fighter by a lot, he knows the area around our condo backward and forward (whereas I would be totally lost without him), etc. I learn a lot from him, because he's a lot smarter than I am. In fact, there are a lot of times I've felt downright stupid next to him! But even though he has so many advantages over me, he's always patient enough to help me out.

The only area I think I have him beat is in my ability to trust and be open to him.

Wow, that was long! Anyway, if there are any additional questions, I’d be happy to answer them as always, and hope all my readers are doing well.

Thanks for contributing to what’s becoming a sizable list!

You've mentioned that there are 7 layers to the Astral Realm, that the 1st appears to overlap the physical world the majority of us are stuck in for the time being, and that you reside mainly on the 4th. Given that, when you project yourself to the 4th layer, do you visualize yourself passing the 2nd and 3rd layers, or do you see yourself passing directly from the physical world to the 4th layer? Or do you expericence something completly different than or a variation of what I've described? R.C.W. Freshman (Reply to this) (Thread)

	sephirothslave 2008-03-04 18:06 (link)
	Good question. XD I guess the closest thing I can describe it to is like...a really vast-moving elevator of sorts. I don't necessarilly see the first, second and third layers, but I'm aware of passing through them, if that makes sense. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've just gone back though your previous entries, and I can't find any mention of animals. Do animals exist in the Astral Realm? Does anything live exist besides human-like beings? (Reply to this) (Thread)

sephirothslave 2008-03-05 16:24 (link)

Depends on your definition of 'animals.' The common term for 'animals' on the astral plane is 'astral wildlife,' and primarilly consist of things like elemental spirits - i.e: the elemental creature of fire is the mythical salamander. Most projectors believe that these 'mythical' elementals exist on the astral plane and from there influence their respective elements. Following that logic, they would primarilly reside on layer one for working purposes, but could in theory reside on whatever layer they chose based on which area of which layer best suits their needs as elementals. Does that answer your question? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

(Anonymous) 2008-03-05 18:40 (link)

It answers my original question yes, thank you. I suppose my definition of 'animal' would be that of which I am most familiar as one who does not project. Yet the influence of the elements somewhat confuses me. (In an attempt to understand, I came up with this comparison) Is the influence of elemental spirits in any way similar to the way the Greeks and Romans believed that their respective gods and goddesses influenced mortals? And out of curiosity, do the elemental spirits act in a smilar way to the wild animals or pets the rest of us know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

sephirothslave 2008-03-05 19:24 (link)

Ah...here's where I'm going to have to drag a little of my personal beliefs into it. As a rule I try to refrain from doing so, but it seems it's unavoidable in this question. You see, how the elements affect our planet and the creatures living in it has no 'set' definition. So it's really up to each individual to decide what they think about elementals - from whether you believe they exist at all to how much influence they actually have in the physical world. For me, I believe that all the elements are influenced by the respective creatures tasked with their control. Some people also beleive each element has a governing entity who oversees everything. To use an example close to home for you and close to my heart, I believe that sylphs (water elementals) are woking very hard to try to keep the Chesapeake Bay clean...but they can't compensate for the amount of pollution, whereas the waters around Hawaii are much cleaner and clearer - obviously because there isn't as much pollution, but I also feel that the elementals play into that equation just as much. I'm afraid I'm not very articulate on this subject, but I hope that clears it up. But to answer your last question, the elemental spirits and other astral wildlife behave like any wild animal would a person walking around in their territory - they run away or hide. It isn't unheard of for them to become friendly with human-type entities, but I'm not sure exactly how one would go about befriending an elemental. I'd equate it to trying to befriend a wild deer.

Hello Julia! I have two questions for you :D I've talked a little with you over on DeviantArt before, but I figured it'd be easier to just ask the following here. Question number one: Now, I know you first Projected without actually knowing it, but when someone is activly trying to learn it, would you say it is important to have much knowledge about the astral plane trough books and such beforehand? I mean, are there any known dangers in Projecting, that would make it unwise to experiment with only basic knowledge about it? Question number two: You mentioned astral wildlife, and that made me a little curiouse. What sort of beings are there, other then the elemental spirits that you mentioned? Z.H.Z (Reply to this) (Thread)

sephirothslave 2008-03-12 22:14 (link)

Hey, Thank you for dragging yourself over to my blurty for these questions - I really appreciate the effort, since it makes my life easier. XD 1.) I would say, yes, learning as much as possible before you begin the actual training will help in the long run. If I had to make a comparison, I'd ask if you've ever had a professor who made you do some sort of exercise, but you didn't know why? It's kind of like that. If you understand why you're doing the things commonly asked of you in the beginning phases of training, you're less likely to become bored and frustrated from not seeing results. Even more importantly, I'd say, is the understanding you gain of how the astral realms work and how it relates to our physical world. I wouldn't say it's necessarily dangerous to experiment without a thorough knowledge of what you're getting into (though all things are, no matter what, right? Most people won't enter a car race without ever having learned how to drive, as the case were) and say that really, the most important aspect of astral exploration if you aren't working with a guide is confidence. If you're confident and at least pretend to know what you're doing, chances are, nothing is going to bother you. If it does, you just have to assert your authority. 2.) Like the physical world, the astral plane has a variety of 'animals' that don't serve a visible purpose, unlike the elementals. Some of them look a little like some of the animals from earth, others are so bizare I couldn't hope to describe them from the fleeting glances I've gotten. (What I wouldn't give for an astral camera I could develop here on earth!) There seems to be a dynamic between the creatures as there is on earth, in terms of predator and prey, though I've never personally see an astral animal kill another, it stands to reason that it's possible. This goes into the gray area of experts' studies on the astral realms. Though most people do believe in some form of afterlife, like heaven or hell, it's difficult to say how that belief interacts with the physical world and the astral planes. At this point, no one is really sure if astral beings can die period, let alone if they too progress to an afterlife. Natives of the astral plane (who aren't just visitors, like myself and Sephiroth) are typically secretive, and if you do happen upon one with human-like intelligence they aren't usually inclined to humor your questions. It's interesting...and I hope to make some progress in the field in determining just how the astral wildlife interacts with the planes. Here on earth, the wolf hunts the deer, kills it, and the pack eats most of it. What remains decomposes and becomes fertilizer for the plants to grow...which later provide foor for the deer - this is common knowledge. But obviously the astral plane has different rules than what most of us know, so I look forward to learning more. Thanks for the questions! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

So, here's my question, and I don't know if it's been asked or not before, I just really don't feel like rooting through your archives since I'm lazy like that.... How does Seph feel about you revealing his and yours personal relationship on the internet? And have you ever given him gifts? I wonder if that'll make him trust you more, like, if you make a pic for him and only him, and no other guys.... Have you tried looking around for trust exercises?

sephirothslave 2008-03-17 18:59 (link)

Hey Can, 1.) Sephiroth was dubious about me reopening the blurty, but more because he was worried about me attracting more negative attention than because he was against me revealing things about our relationship. There are a few things I've agreed not to discuss at his request, but he's very supportive now that he's seen how well this page has been received. 2.) Well, there are a lot of things that I do for Seph here on earth, and a lot of things that I dedicate to him. In my competition fights in the martial arts I study, I'm thinking about winning, but more for him than for any other reason. In fact, most everything I do is for him...and it's a little hard to explain. Like, for me, my art, writing, music, everything I do I expect to do to the best of my abilities because it is a reflection on me, but artforms are how I express myself, and whenever I'm working on something of the sort, I'm most likely thinking of him. 3.) As for the trust issue...we've just kind of learned to work it out, because it's tough to avoid suspicions when you're literally separated by entire dimensions. XD I understand why it's hard for him...because I start getting over-defensive and bitchy just when a crazy fangirl shows up to bash me. He's more than entitled to a little possessiveness, and we've learned to sort out our little conflicts by now. I hope that answers your questions, and thanks a lot! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Back to the subject of animals... You mentioned that "Like the physical world, the astral plane has a variety of 'animals' that don't serve a visible purpose, unlike the elementals. Some of them look a little like some of the animals from earth, others are so bizare I couldn't hope to describe them from the fleeting glances I've gotten." and that there are some animals similar to earth-bound animals. I'm having trouble phrasing this quite the way I want it... is there anything that resembles what we might call a "mythical creature"? Such as centaurs or dragons? R.C.W.

Out of sheer curiosity, I must ask.. Is there a reason why he chose you? As in.. For such a busy(or important) being, how was it that he noticed you? As another question, do you know/believe if there are others out there.. Say.. Another astral being for someone stuck here on this plane of existence? Or at least one that feels the same way Sephiroth feels for you, for someone else. God I'm horrible at wording these questions XD Hope all is well on your end, take care Mandy (Reply to this) (Thread)

Ah, this is a complex question. I have only one theory on why this happened to me: Quite simply, if I didn't, I would be dead. I believe that my arch angel husband also served in the role of my guardian angel, and though I understand it took a special sort of clearance to do what he did, I believe he was allowed to go to me because I was in mortal danger. As for others like me, yes, there are. My research has indicated that one of the first known cases occured in the Victorian era, to a woman who did have problems with depression and felt she would never be happy. For the most part this is something that happens to women more than men, though men have also had this happen to them. No one is really sure why this happens to some individuals, but most of the accounts are quite similar to mine. The people born into this fate are usually unhappy in some way. Some have depression, and are medicated for it...but it's never until they meet their astral mate that they can live their lives to the fullest. Some have reported seeing these entities in waking visions, some have communicated through scrying or telepathy, some dream of them, and others have the ability to fully project out of their bodies. I hope that helps. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, I've got a few questions I'd like to ask: 1) If Sephiroth truely exists in any form (e.g. entity, physical form), is it possible for him to know about people whom he has never met? 2) How will Sephiroth feel if someone taunts him in any way? 3) Do you think its possible for an unknown entity from a different astral realm become strong enough to interfere with our world? (e.g. take physical form and remain in the desired state for a very long time) Side note: I'd prefer not to take other people's opinions and believe them. I'm just searching for the truth about this whole astral phenomenon. ~UrbaniteLN14 (Reply to this) (Thread)

Ah, look who wandered over from DA. Welcome! ^.^; 1.) Yes, it's possible for him to access information on people he hasn't met. No, it's not possible for him to relay that information to me. As a mortal, I'm not privy to that sort of information, so I can't answer questions you might have for him. He probably knows the answer, but because of my relationship with him and the restrictions placed on interactions between mortals and divine beings he can't tell me these things. 2.) Sephiroth couldn't care less if someone taunts him or even doesn't believe in him at all, but he does get annoyed on my behalf, because those are two things that tend to get me 'seeing red,' as it were. 3.) Yes and no, I think would be the best answer here. No, they couldn't take physical form, but I believe (this is as yet unproven) that a metaphysical practitioner can most likely attempt to evoke a being from the non-physical realms to the physical realms in a ghost-type form for a short period of time. The exact amount that said being could interfere with our physical world is also unknown. For my part, I believe that Sephiroth has had a hand in protecting me in several occasions, most notably the car crash I described in the second entry of this journal...in which I blacked out while driving due to a very sever migraine, and ran off the road. I struck a sign and a small tree, and somehow the car stopped before striking a large, solid wooden fence that would have surely severly injured or killed both me and my sister, who was in the car with me. She said she was screaming for me to hit the breaks, but I never heard her. I believe Sephiroth stopped that car. Does that answer your questions? If not, I'd be happy to elaborate if you have more specific things you want to know, and am glad to see another one of the DA crew coming over to have a look. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
