Just out of curiosity, what was your level of interest and knowledge of "the paranormal" or "the spiritual" before the last thread? You seem to be having an incredibly strong experience and you are taking it really well.
>that's a bit reminiscent of Shintoism, you can acknowledge the spirit of an object / place / concept without worshipping it
Kami no Michi talks about the concept of kannagara, or "natural religion", spontaneous awareness of divinity in (broadly understood here I suppose) nature. So you are right on the money in that.
>every utterance is an incantation
Yes. Of course, that brings some rather heavy responsibilities with it.
>That is the aspect she took with me
It's a nice way to put it. To me, Kanako-sama has felt one of the more distant ones, not cold by any means, but rarely appears unless called for.
>it's transactional in a symbiosis type of way
>they give you a hint there
>a nudge here
>they become what you need, not what you want
>YOU have to put in the work
Very much my experience too, although I suppose in my case there have been a few more forceful nudges along the way. But maybe I have been in need of a bit harder course-correcting.

I know that type of stuff is ridiculous and alienating to many, but I can't dismiss such anymore. If I can have mysterious sporadic flashes of light appear in my apartement for two weeks, have something mess with the cables of my TV and have something teleport my friend's earpods into my slippers while they were staying over, then sure.

Getting messed around by nature spirits that you made upset is an aeons old story. Spirits straight up manifesting in the physical is also an age old story.

This thread has still life in it, but I do suppose I have set an example for excessively verbose posts.

>honestly kinda surprised there hasn’t been anything deeper directly derived from her overall involvements
I'm a bit hesitant to get involved with any more other spirits at this junction, and I've started feeling like an excellent way to get unwillingly involved with spirits is to read about them. Hekate herself might be distant and busy, but if Miller is to be believed, the Lampads are everywhere in the world acting on her behalf.
>ZUN most certainly has some manner of detailed personal history when it comes to dream experience or just generally interacting with the other Layers in far-more intimate ways
It's obvious he's tapped into something, the question is how intentionally. It's really funny if he's really just leaking out all of this and thinking that he is making pure fiction. But I don't think it's like that. The extra notes from Hifuu stories tell their own little story.
>things may end being somewhat…
>…”Corrected”.
I feel like I have may have drifted somewhere here. It's a bit scary.

As much as I wasn't a "gay retard on shrooms", I am not LARPing either. And overall, my concern is less about people lying, they might be, but then the experiences and lessons seem to be strangely consistent.

My concern is that everyone is dead serious, all of this is really, really happening, and at this point I am not sure why this is a "concern". Everything out there isn't friendly, there are said to be deceptive entities out there. But there is also some greater divine nature, and there's probably a limit to some kind of long con that "demons" or "fairies" would try to pull off.

I would have run away a long time ago if they had started being all "uhhh yeah bro abandon all your attachments and come to Gensokyo with us hehe". Demons don't give a fuck about your family relations. Fairies don't want people to be more concerned if you vanish into thin air.

Sometimes when I read the more far out posts I get this feeling of "oh god what have I helped to push forwards", but it was an inevitability. Every Hifuu club and all the "Gensokyo conspiracy theory" discussions started drifting towards this.

Something really is happening, and already by the end of the last thread I felt like the existence of the thread was contributing to it. That's one of the reasons I was hesitant to make a new one.

There's been so much weird shit in my life lately it's difficult to even process, and these threads have contributed to it. Part of my regrets making these.

But hey, one of them did recently tell me that "you will walk this path, you will walk it slow and steady, but you will walk it to the end".

Last night, I saw a fox only about 100 meters from where I live.

Don't forget the 2000 year old Egyptian coffin juice and the Aztec jade mask! Obviously there is a lot going on. What exactly it is, I don't know. Tamamo's stone was extra fascinating because of the popularity of Fate-Tamamo at that point.

I would add the whole "UAP" thing and renewed interest in UFOs to the omens.
