>culminating in having a dream of her showing up and speaking Japanese that you don't know and struggle to find a definition
That's a quite powerful experience you had. The closest I've had to an actualy contact was a fairly recent experience where I was meditating and some very unpleasant thoughts started to surface. Then with my eyes closed I see a brief flash of light and fleeting image of Chimata. I ask her if I can relinquish my ownership of the difficult emotions that surfaced. I receive a sense of acknowledgement and I suddenly feel much more at ease.

I've also had this...I don't even really know what to call it, I just somehow feel really in-tune with Keiki. I want to become a better version of myself that includes some aspects of what she represents, and somehow I feel her pushing me towards it. The quality of my life has improved tremendously ever since I..."got to know her", if I can use such an expression. It's taken a lot of work of my own, but the effort has felt very light compared to my previous attempts at fixing my shit.

>people with interest in esoterics to lack certain sense of survival or judge things as much as necessary, to the point that they agree with anything.
I would say that with me it's more that I can kind of seriously entertain some ideas while not 100% commiting to them. I think that might also be the case for some of the more sensible esoterics. But yes, there are people who fuck around and then find out, and I was one of them. I had a really bad time the first time I got into all of this.
>i.e. may or may not feed egregores that wouldn't exist otherwise, creating a problem out from scratch
That's a very interesting notion. Then again...if we can create egregores, to put into the context of this thread, we can affect Gensokyo with our beliefs, then couldn't we steer it towards a desirable direction..?
>Or Islam, those people believe that the Almighty needs prayers.
The esoteric notion that it's give and take with spirit entities is certainly more realistic, I think. They want something from us, and in turn can perhaps give us something. If we know how to work with them.
>lies in assumption that humanity both exists in a conventional sense, or more importantly, that such unified paradigm exists
That's a very interesting view. So you see that some kind of conventional humanity that can be put under some unified paradigm doesn't exist?
>At bare minimum the only needs a human may need are survival and maintenance (intellectual ones too) concerns, everything else, love and happiness included, can be disregarded.
I suppose so, yet somehow we seem to constantly either to seek concerns beyond that or then reach some level of ascetism where we just crater through the existence.
>pleasure is alluring and may make people unwilling to consider otherwise
Yes, I understand that. I don't really see myself currently personaly motivated by pleasure, but rather a desire to become the best possible version of myself. I have simply started entertaining the notion that there might be an extremely unorthodox path to such development.

Thankfully Keiki-sama is a picture of good mental health.
