Over There...

Most of us wish we'd gain "magical sight", and then commonly see supernatural beings walking down the street. As if they were simply invisible before.

Believe it or not, that's a "predatory urge" in you. And if you learn to stop your internal dialogue well enough to perceive those beings, that belief that they are "here" like an ordinary object, just invisible to anyone but a cool sorcerer, will make it impossible to see them long enough to understand what's going on.

The fact is, at least for a very long time after you first learn to stop the internal dialogue, that those beings are not "here" at all.

Even if you see them as here.

They're very much like the text Carlos told us to learn to read, instead of viewing "videos in the air", using our Silent Knowledge abilities.

That text is NOT "here". It's "out there in infinity". No one would seriously think there's now giant text in the sky that was merely invisible before. Obviously, it's not really "there", in the sky. And yet, you can read it up there.

Same for those entities you'll begin to notice, scurrying around outdoors. Assuming that you learn to stop your internal dialogue.

It's more like "leakage" from another reality. Why only the specific entity you see leaks through, is not really such a mystery.

But you'll have to learn that for yourself. A good starting point is to gain your own Ally, and learn when it's just the entity, and when it has a background behind it.

Does this imply that supernatural entities you see outdoors can't be interacted with or that they can't interact with you?

Nope. It just means, there's some overlap going on. And if you try to force the entity to be 100% in your version of reality, the overlap will vanish.

You have to remain impassive. Uninterested.

Curious but not trying to profit from it.

The merchant mind is perhaps our worst enemy. Those who are afraid of supernatural beings, need to look more inward for the real danger.

It's "you".

But "you" is optional to sorcerers. You can change to another "you", until you finally lose the human form and have none.

Someone on facebook commented that as a child he did stuff like this, and even more. But over time he was unable to.

Makes sense.

But don't anyone get any clever ideas.

As Carlos said, "Leave the kids alone."

Just don't do the opposite. Punish them for "seeing things".
