When you reach the age of reason, will you reject supernatur

In a conscious choice, between Heaven, under the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and Hell, under the Snake, which would you choose.

I personally think that some enlightened people would choose Hell, knowingly, as a form of protest.

You were saying that you could make your own rules, though, if I am not mistaken.

So, where-to, from here?

I can't say anything on what I'd hinge on the speed of light, I really haven't factored that in one way or another.

I think what I've noticed is that the characteristics of my own experiences - certain things that have happened like a cascade of energy (on a couple occasions) lighting up the crown of my head and tunneling down to the soles of my feet or my couple encounters with an Isis/Mary-like being, were just blunt events that I could not cause nor willfully repeat. Others, such as my attempts to work with certain entities, causes me to wake up after midnight being tickled by them or feeling the full presence of a very friendly being laying on top of or half draped over me. There was a boundary to how intense those presences could become, there were clearly certain characteristics to how i'd feel their presence. Any attempts I was lead to, by suggestion of various orders, to try anything like The Secret would typically bust - certain odd synchronicities around what I wanted would manifest but what I actually wanted would not happen.

That puts me in a place where I can't easily comment on the blunt-force experiences; they were highly powerful but too short for me to examine them in such a way as to get any sort empirical grip on them or check for environmental effects aside from what registered in my nervous system. My actual work though where I did certain things - I do see a sort of plasticity to chaotic systems that can draw things toward you that you're thinking about but it's a highly un-dependable effect and for as much as a person has to knock themselves out to get something done that route they're much better off just doing it by more direct, mundane, or worldly means. I think it was actually Aleister Crowley who said something really sensible to this end - that it's pointless to try and effect things with ritual unless a person has already done every mundane thing in their power to assure something happens; ie. only then it's a bit like that one gram of added icing on a 500 gram cake.

I hide in bakeries, and pretend that I am the most authentic pastry, in the whole place. The sweetest one, I'll give you diabetes, if you look at me sideways.
