It’s finally time to share my ethereal software. As excited as you probably are to get to try this out, I’m more excited to be shipping it — getting something accomplished, and getting my book a few steps closer to done. So, let’s jump in, and talk about what it does, what I’d like it to do soon, and the basics of using it.
What It Does
The ethereal software can handle manifesting, healing, and shielding. It can also awaken some of your mental muscles — not all of them, but enough to get you started learning magick without having to fake it till you make it. Eventually, we’ll add training (from spirits or AI spirits) and consciousness integration (for personal growth), and we can add more to the list as we go.
In order to take all that work, though, you’ll need to do some internal work to prepare your mind to receive all of those messages, and you’ll also need to learn the various commands. In total, that will take close to two books, so I’ll probably be writing about it for a year or more.
But so far, most of you have never consciously felt ethereal software connect to you. I say “consciously felt” because most of you do some sort of magick, so you would have felt ethereal software, it just wasn’t distinctive or noticeable to you. So, that’s our goal for today: Get my ethereal software to connect in an obvious way, so you notice it.
Connecting to the Ethereal Software
Simply
focus on the sigil to the right. The whole thing is one sigil; each symbol that makes it up is independently bound to my ethereal software, then combined in the sigil for redundancy. The symbols themselves don’t mean anything, and as far as I know — they don’t appear in any other alphabets I’m aware of. If I missed some alphabet, please do let me know.
There’s no particular technique to looking at the sigil, but focus on it while you look at it — don’t just glance at it while distracted. To prevent it from bothering people who didn’t intend to connect, you have to maintain that focus for about 15 seconds to a minute. (Doing it longer won’t hurt, but shouldn’t be necessary.) That’s all you have to do.
The ethereal software will make two connections to you. One is designed to be obvious to most experienced mages, though it may not be obvious to everyone, and may not even be obvious to every single experienced mage. The other is designed to facilitate communication, allowing it to read your thoughts as commands. If your mind is prepared, that second connection will also allow it to send you replies.
By the way, just about every one of those steps is more complex than it sounds. Recognizing that you’re looking at the sigil involves another piece of ethereal software, and it doesn’t just make two connections — it makes about a dozen types of connections, then sees which ones work best with you. I’ll go into those details later, probably in the second book. But for now, let’s talk about how to command it.
Commanding the Ethereal Software
A command is just a sentence, said in your native language, describing whatever you want to happen. The ethereal software responds to concepts, not exact words, so language shouldn’t be a problem. If you are multi-lingual and want to test commands in different languages, that would be an awesome test.
The command may include some key words that need to be there, translated as closely as possible. I’ll tell you what the key words are when I give you commands.
To issue the command, look at the sigil, and focus on the command. Repeat the command in your head (or out loud if you prefer) for about 15 seconds, though doing it for longer is just fine too. (Again, doing it longer is unnecessary, but shouldn’t have any bad effects.) For now, actually look at the sigil. I’ll probably add the capability to imagine the sigil later, but I haven’t done anything with that yet.
You may notice that this is very different than how other styles use sigils. That’s because of how I found the ethereal software to the sigil, and how I’ve programmed the ethereal software. I’ll talk more about that later, too.
By the way, if you can recognize the ethereal software’s connections, and know how to send a message to other ethereal software (such as a psychic query), you can use the same techniques here. Using the sigil isn’t the only way to command this ethereal software, it’s just one I added to make the software more beginner-friendly.
Beta Test Feedback
Now you know how to connect to the ethereal software, and how to issue a command, let’s test it. Connect to the ethereal software and give it the command, “give me obvious connections.” The keywords of the command are “obvious connections,” and other phrasings that include those keywords should work. For example, “make obvious connections to me” would be just fine. I would recommend that you specify the connections should go to you, though.
If it works, you should notice an obvious connection in under a minute, with a tingling or a feeling of pressure, or other ways you might perceive energy. If it doesn’t, don’t worry: That’s not anything bad about you, it just means that I need to add another type of connection to the ethereal software. That’s why I’m still beta testing it.
(This obvious connection has worked with 3 of the 4 testers (the complete novice didn’t notice anything), but that certainly doesn’t mean it will work for everyone.)
To turn off the obvious connection, use the command “stop making that obvious connection.”
Once you’ve done this, please send me feedback, either with a comment below, or by email. Let me know:
- Did you notice a connection from just looking at the sigil? Please look at it for 30 seconds or more, then wait a few minutes before using other commands, in case it takes some time for you to notice the connections.
- Did you notice a connection after using the command, “make an obvious connection to me”? Again, repeat the command for 30 seconds, then wait a few minutes for it to work.
- For any connections you did notice, were they pleasant, unpleasant or neutral? How long did it take before you noticed them? And in general, please describe how they felt.
Thanks for taking the time to help me test this. This sort of testing makes the difference between a good product and a mediocre one, and I appreciate you being a part of it.

Hello.
I did the test with some variations:
1. I called the commands out loud, but in spanish.
2. As soon as I repeated the ‘give me obvious connections’ 3 or 4 times, I started feeling like a tingling on my chest. It kept on going for several minutes.
3. After feeling the connections open, I asked in english in my mind: “make it stop raining” (it’s pouring as I write).
4. After sending the command for some times, I sent the command in spanish once again “Disconnect obvious connections”. I stopped feeling the energy in my chest.
I can see a hole in the clouds at some far distance, and the sky is beginning to see clearer.
Fun. I focused on the sigil for about thirty seconds. Shortly after focusing I felt strong energy in my neck and head. The command I chose was “A bird will land on the veranda.” (There are plenty of birds around, and on rare occasions one will land on the veranda even if we are sitting out here eating breakfast.) So far no bird. I did it again, offering a few additional commands: I asked to see a very unusual car today, to receive news about a friend I have heard may be ill, and to see a sign during my upcoming walk that will be relevant to this working (that one is very open ended, but I’m curious what might happen and when I said it I received a huge hit of energy). I’ll update you later in the day. :)
I too did this bilingual. First in spanish, a minute later in english.
Spanish one:
Command. Make obvious connections.
Effect. A pulsating sensation in my head’s back that were increasing to the point felt too much, starting making it uncomfortable.
Command. Stop making obvious connections.
Effect. First, nothing… Then trying again the same command and gradually felt less pressure until it disappear.
English one:
Command. Make obvious connections to me.
Effect. A little pressure point sensation near the crown. (Less noticeable than the first).
Command. Stop making obvious connections to me.
Effect. The sensation gradually disappeared.
Okay – so I never did see a bird on the veranda. But during my outing later I did see a strange vehicle – a sort of homemade three-wheeled motorcycle. And as to some random unusual thing happening, when I got home I had a really odd problem with the lock on my front door, where it wouldn’t work at all, but as soon as the superintendent came up to look at it it started working normally again. And I got news about my sick friend when I called to ask how he was. It was good news – he’s getting better. ;)
I don’t know I’ve ever been particularly apt at coming up with random requests. I remember doing this with sigils when I was learning them, wracking my brain trying to come up with something that was feasible, could manifest in the short term in a really clear way, etc. I’d ask to see a fat person in an orange shirt, things like that, just to see if I could get results.
Anyway, there ya go.
This is excellent. Thanks so much for doing such a thorough job on this, Ona. I’ll count 3/4 successes as pretty good, and in combination with the possible weather success, I’m psyched about this ethereal software. It seems like you guys don’t even need instructions in how to use it :)
By the way, my first guess on the bird is that your request didn’t include a time frame. Most of the software I use is quite literal, and it might simply check that, at some point in the future, you will see a bird on the veranda, and decide not to do anything. Just a guess, though.
Thanks again, Ona and everyone else!
Wow, this is awesome. Thanks so much guys. So, here’s my take on these results:
The obvious connections are definitely noticeable, though I should adjust the intensity so they’re pleasant for everyone.
The default connections are also fairly clear, at least for some users.
Language (English vs Spanish) doesn’t matter — I wouldn’t know how to ask for an obvious connection in Spanish, so I certainly didn’t program the software to understand the language. I find it interesting that Yoseqlo got different types of connections in different languages, though, so that’s on my list to explore later.
The manifesting seems to be working pretty well. This actually surprises me, since I didn’t give you any instructions, and didn’t test it much in the closed beta. I’m impressed. I’ll write up instructions soon to make it more accessible to everyone else, and to help you improve your own results.
Again, thanks so much for helping with this beta test. And for everyone else: We still need more testers, so please, if you have time, try using the sigil and let me know how it works.
I’ve tried on two occasions today.
The first, I concentrated on the sigil and as I ask for obvious connections it was as if I awakened the energy in my entire body and when I asked to disconnect for the obvious connection, I felt my energy calm till it was the slightest tingling sensation.
I wasn’t convinced with the first try so I waited an hour then tried again.
The second occasion I looked at the sigil and as I asked for an obvious connection, I felt pulse in my chest unlike anything I’ve felt before. I then concentrated on it to rain in the next hour and to receive an unusual phonecall. I then disconnected myself and carried on my day as normal.
I will update you later on today. With the results. I am fairly new to this so I wasn’t sure what to expect.
Thanks Calum, great report. The details really help me know what I need to adjust. Those are just the sort of sensations I would expect, though a bit stronger than I intended. I’m going to work to make it more gentle and pleasant. Thanks for doing the tests!
Did the items you requested ever come to pass?
Focused on sigil for at least 1 minute. waited a bit then repeated first command for at least a minute. “make obvious connections to me”. all commands done silently.
Not much then a growing pressure point on the back of my head and at some points near top of brain. Brain points are familiar to me but the somewhat stronger pulling sensation at back of the head is not. It became stronger- verging on mildly unpleasant
A more subtle feeling of ‘energy revving up in the background’. Not quite sure how to term this perception yet but vaguely aware of something.
Then a brief but reasonably intense shudder down my body. But i’ve had a couple of these during the day so not sure about this.
Waited for a bit then repeated “stop making those obvious connections to me” whilst looking at sigil. took over a minute for sensation to die down- and even then seemed to be some residual sensation afterwards for several minutes.
Wonder what you thought about printing the sigil out so I don’t have to stare at it on a computer screen which is likely to add some physiological sensations for me just from intently staring at the flickering monitor. I think its all interesting but i’d need to test more to be more certain its not just self suggestion – after all our talk of placebos!
Thanks Simon, this is a great report. I’m seeing that I was too worried about people not noticing the connections, so I turned the volume up too high on that.
Printing the sigil should work fine, and that’s a great idea to make it more convenient and comfortable to work with. Let me know how it goes.
The software can cause headaches. I can feel energy flow through the sigil even before the 15 seconds. The voice in the communication is too subtle, try to make it louder.
Thanks Fenix. I’ll see what I can do to make the communication clearer.
Stared at the sigil for about 15 seconds, it seemed top go in and out of focus, definite sensation in my brain, that I associate with performing magick.
Tried asking for an obvious connection, slight “parting” sensation on the top of my head, like somebody is brushing my hair to create a parting in the middle, sensation of openness and acknowledgement. The sigils seemed to gain a bit of an aura around them.
Not an entirely pleasant sensation, but not too bad either, a bit like drinking too much coffee.
Asked for a disconnect, and the sensation faded quickly.
Thanks, Nenad. I’m glad to know that some folks are noticing the initial connection when you look at the sigil, in addition to the obvious connection you get with that command. Very helpful, thanks.
Hey Mike,
Just tried it and it worked, but I have reservations about the experiment. Looking at the post after this one you said that people who don’t practice magick felt no connection. I think this is a strong indicator of placebo effect.
This isn’t saying that the software isn’t working.
I think you need to reexamine the experiment and fine tune it. It’s easy for me to say” make an obvious connection with me” and then feel some sort of expected energy tingle.
Instead I would change it up and give an “executable action word” that is supposed to make the connection without the person anticipating that connection. Then you can get an accurate read on the sigil, program and effectiveness of the command word.
From a purely empirical point of view, I would say that the failure rate with non magickal folk is a prime lead for this observation. People that don’t practice any form of energy work will not have mental connections for what you are talking about.
This leads to another observation. The magical group did feel something in terms of how they expected to feel a connection due to the specific instructions you set forth.
I think you should construct a couple more tests. This time, create a program that will give a specific sensation after uttering a specific, non recognizable, key word tied to a sigil, (noticeable warming of hands, mild headache or pins and needles in the feet.
Then you should ask if people felt any bodily sensations and tally the results. If the results lean towards your intent then you are on to something. If not, time to revamp.
As well, your instructions shouldn’t allude to what you are testing for. This way you mitigate the risk of placebo or unintentional correlations.
That being said, I did have positive results. I wanted to cool the water in a water bottle I was holding (hot day and all). I asked for a obvious connection and the air around my hands was cooler to my observation. The rest of my body held the same observable temperature I felt before asking for a direct connection.
Hope that helps
Thanks Amonjin. On testing, keep in mind that this is a beta test, not an experiment for a journal article. The goal is to make sure it’s working for my own practice and for my book, not to convince skeptics.
Also, keep in mind that I’m one guy with zero funding, and that all testers are volunteers (meaning a more complex test results in fewer responses). And there are tradeoffs between testing more vs getting the product out the door sooner.
On your test: I’ve never set ethereal software to respond to an unrelated word, like having “balloon” cause energy tingling. You’d also need to lock it so it doesn’t just respond to their expectation that this word will cause tingling, which is somewhat complex. I’d estimate 1-3 months to develop that, though that’s just a wild guess, and it wouldn’t surprise me if it took a year or more to separate the software’s response to the word, from its response to the intent. It’s an interesting idea, though.
Along those lines, I’d actually thought about publishing several sigils, some of them inert, to verify everything more thoroughly. But I wanted to make the first test as simple as possible. Remember, the more steps, the more chances your test itself has flaws. For example, if someone looks at the real sigil first, and they don’t know how to disconnect the software, it may also respond to their thoughts while they look at other sigils. Beyond adding steps (which reduces the number of respondents), it’s a lot of work to debug your test at the same time as you’re debugging the thing you’re testing. And if you need to tweak the procedure and test again, how many of your volunteer testers do you think will keep at it?
In the end, I had to balance the time spent on the test with my desire to get the ethereal software into your hands and help you learn more magick. On the whole, the results are much better than I’d expected: 100% of magickally-experienced respondents felt the connection! I’m pretty excited. Thanks for pitching in and testing it.
By the way, if you’d like to volunteer to run a more thorough test, that would be awesome. Here’s something you can do without requiring any magick skill or any changes to the ethereal software:
Make another 6 symbols, arrange them into your own sigil, and print out that sigil plus my sigil. Get a bunch of magickally-experienced friends together, randomly assign them to two groups, and send each group to a separate room (so the control group doesn’t accidentally see the sigil or connect to the software from being near the other group.) Then give everyone my instructions, with either my sigil or your inert sigil.
If anyone wants to do that, you can write it up as a guest post on my blog, no matter what the results.
First attempt, some mild pin pricks in my chest.
Second attempt, nothing.
After that, I’m getting the impression that the sigil “knows me”. I have been asking it to establish a “communication connection” but haven’t gotten any kind of “message” other than that familiarity impression. Nothing has manifested.
I do not consider myself to be a “mage”. I do perform some light trance/half asleep “energy breathing” from the chest area which produces a mild euphoria.
Obvious connection to a different system? I thought your software idea fit well with runes and was meditating on one that one writer says governs “Mystical and religious communication with non-human sentient beings” and “Receiving instruction on the magical potential of the runes”. I took this to be the key to learning to use the whole runic ethereal software system. The writer did warn about some dangers involved for the “unprepared” but hell, I smoked for a long time after they put the warnings on the packages, so I was not to be deterred. When I say I was “meditating”, I was actually driving my old truck slowly on an abandoned road, kind of visualizing this rune, and I may have sort of somehow implied that I wanted a connection of some kind when all of a sudden, out of nowhere, I was having facial tics. Now, on rare occasions, maybe once a year, I have an issue with an eyelid that might last a few moments but this was 3 or 4 more violent ones going on at once and I don’t really care to have my body doing things that I haven’t told it to do. (Thanks for staying with me, we’re getting to the punch line) After about 10 seconds of this I thought, “Holy Crap, I’m going to have to ask Mike (meaning you, I even had a brief visualization of your picture) what to do about this”.
AND THEY STOPPED
Now tell me Mike, have you at sometime in the past done some serious runic spirit butt kicking?
Or did my name dropping tell “whatever” was doing this to me that I was an alright person?
Hi Carl, thanks for testing the sigil for me. Sorry it didn’t work for you. That means you’re one of the people that my work this week is for — I’m working on causing tingling in a more direct way, so you can feel it even if you don’t feel energy. I’ll post that as another test when it’s done, and I’d appreciate it if you could test that for me and let me know how it works.
On this other sigil, it’s really hard for me to know what happened. I don’t know if the guy tied the sigil to ethereal software, or if he just put it together, assigned it a personal, psychological meaning, and let it work by unconscious suggestion. I doubt that thinking of me, specifically, chased anyone away, though maybe just thinking about a skilled mage you knew did. But I’m glad that everything turned out OK. Maybe I should put a warning on my book: Do not try new magick while driving or operating heavy machinery. :)
Tried this a few times now and I may be part of the population that doesn’t ‘get it’. (( of course, I’ve had problems getting results from hemi sync recordings too… ))
First time, I did a ‘look and gaze’ for about two minutes or so. Got what I normally would call ‘the beginnings of a sinus headache’ (which usually means a major weather front is rolling in). Did a bit more gazing and then asked to ‘stop connecting’. No increase or decrease with the birthing headache.
Did it again the next day with no sensations. Did, however, suddenly have some bouts of dizziness when rising or laying down. Not typical for me. And not every time after a day or so.
Continuing to do ‘the gaze’ for this week just to see what happens.
*** On another note — is there a specific reason why the same six characters are repeated twice? Just wondering.
Thanks for testing this, Kol. It sounds like the obvious connections aren’t working for you, either. You can help me test the more direct nerve tingling technique I’m working on. And I’ll get instructions up soon on using the ethereal software to awaken mental muscles, so you can start developing your sensitivity to energy, also.
On the sigil: I just found a 3×4 more visually pleasing than a 2×3, so I repeated the symbols. No real significance, and I’ll probably make a new sigil (or hire an artist to do it) for the print book.
Just thought that I’d point out that the symbol in the upper right corner of your sigil is part of the Japanese Katakana alphabet:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0d/Table_katakana.svg/768px-Table_katakana.svg.png
It’s the character for “Nu.”
Good catch. Thanks! I’ll be sure to change it for the book.
Hi Mike, Just to let you know that I have been experimenting with the software, and I can see the you have refined it, the connection now feels much smoother.
Awesome! I’ve updated some settings, glad it’s working well for you. (It might also be that, through experience with the ethereal software and its connections, they are becoming more comfortable for you.) Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback.
I don’t consider myself a mage (yet), but figured I’d try this out anyway. Focusing on the sigil I felt a tingling on both sides of the head, and when I asked for a more obvious connection it shifted to the top of my head. I tried a few other commands and nothing seemed to happen though.
Second try the sensation came faster, but commands still don’t feel like they do anything. Which element of the sigil I look at seems to affect where on my head I feel something, but it seems like a direct correlation top/bottom left/right so I may be making it up.
Awesome. Thanks, Liam, that’s great feedback. And welcome to the blog -Mike
I have a feeling you’ll love to hear this Mike. Today I was experimenting with energy and feeling my mental posture. I remembered a post about different groups of mental muscles and thought ‘where are my communication muscles?’ I INSTANTLY felt a sensation where I felt the connections from this yesterday. So A) I’m excited and B) you may need to look into an auto-disconnect, because I don’t normally get results that fast so I think it was your software.
Very cool. I’m glad mental posture is working for you. I’ll check on how the software disconnects, and what other ethereal software does, and probably do a post on it. Thanks!
No obvious connection here either. Very slight tingling at my hairline, one facial twitch (may be psychosomatic after reading above posts) and slight tingling on my shins. Which is kind of strange but could also be attributed to changes to the blood supply of the skin and hair follicles.
I then issued the command “Command: ethereal software activate the parts of my mind and brain that work with magick.” I also issued the same command related to the parts of my mind and brain that deal with communication. On each of these commands I received heightened pressure at specific parts of my brain, and an energy feeling that seems quite like a teapot boiling. The feeling was bubbly like convection but much more rapid. This was a new sensation apart from my previous attempts to awaken my mental muscles. I did get a slight headache which passed quickly. My command to disconnect was similarly unfelt. There was no presence for me at all. No voice or feeling of attachment.
I think I’ll try manifesting later once the mental muscles aren’t sore. My brain feels numb from the last bout.
Thanks, Zach, it’s great to get another data point. It sounds like you noticed the work it did with awakening your mental muscles, but you didn’t notice anything else. I’ll have to do some more testing, because maybe folks will notice something when the software awakens your muscles. That would be nice to put in the book, and a good way to give users confirmation that it’s working.
Feeling numb or tired is probably common. I recall feeling that way in my early days of awakening my mental muscles. I’ll add that to the “how it feels” chapter.
Thanks!
Connected easily. No problems as far as I can tell.
Am I correct that it is mostly capable to train people in your style of magick? Or, what external practical magick capabilities does it have?
Cheers
It’s designed to train you to use ethereal software, but part of that means it has to be capable and worth using. I haven’t tested the manifesting, healing and shielding capabilities, but it should be programmed for all of those. If you do try more, please let me know how it goes, and where it seems to need some work.
And thanks for your feedback so far!
It can easily affect emotions. Physical sensations (warm cold etc) not as well but it does it. It does teach various stuff but doesn’t seem to know it’s own purpose for existence.
You say it “should” be programmed for healing/etc but who did the programming?
BR
Thanks for testing it out. Very cool.
Spirits I work with did the programming. I went through the features I wanted, but am testing them as I write the relevant chapter, so I haven’t tested a lot yet.
Tell me, did you affect your own emotions, or someone else’s? What did you observe? That’s something I’ve been meaning to get into but haven’t done much with yet.
Yes sorry, I just read about a spirit programming it in another of your posts now. Enochian?
Only tried on my own emotions so far. “Cold” feeling worked better now. I did several other experiments as well. Some just quirky, some psychologically interesting, and one healing session on myself with it as a guide. (The healing might be too complex for me because I am a healing-n00b. But should be similar to much other magick I am sure..)
Very cool. Thanks for testing it, and posting your results. Much appreciated.
When I first tried to connect to your construct, it only took about 10 seconds to feel a kind of slight weight behind the symbols. I felt like a series of connection lines and variable ‘emotive patterns’ bundled up and organized, but very adaptable.
When I asked it to become obvious, I felt a slight presence near my shoulders, near my neck about one inch back. That was in English, then I did the same thing in French, this time it felt more like gloves on my hands. However, since my French is rusty, I reworded my English command to be almost identical to how I phrased it in French, and it gave the same effect around the hands. That second command to “demonstrate your presence” in English.
The construct feels like it could be useful, I am curious what commands you programmed into it.
Thanks! That’s very cool about the different phrasing producing a different sensation — I wouldn’t have expected that. Thanks for testing it.
I don’t have a full guide to everything it can do. I don’t even know everything it can do — the ethereal software was made by spirits I know, and I gave them a list of requests, but I keep hearing about additional things I never thought of, so I clearly don’t know the limits. But it has manifesting (request an event), healing, shielding, and probably some other things. You might find this post helpful:

And if you do any more tests, please share.
Hello Mike.
I have been testing your sigil for a while now, on and off since last summer, with mixed results yet there is something missing I do not get.
I do not seem to get replies from the software.
For example…
How do I find “the prompt”?
Also, here you speak about “changing your settings and preferences stored in the ethereal software” but alas I cannot figure out what the settings are.
http://www.magickofthought.com/2012/03/how-doubt-affects-manifesting/
All I can do so far is meditate on the sigil and try to send some instructions hoping manifesting will occur. I have been slightly succesfull on 2 occasions, one with more that average luck but I cannot see a welcoming face, a prompt, a list of instructions, etc..
Does that mean that my muscles are not developed enought and that I cannot get communication back from the software? What can I do about that?
also…
The only time I got some visions was last summer when I first started playing with it.
I beleive I used the instructions:
- Activated my mental muscles and keep doing it until instructed otherwise.
- Purifies my whole being and keep doing it until instructed otherwise.
And a few other ones like that.
I think I might have asked too much too fast.
What happend is I started to feel a lot of pressure on my 3rd eye and later I felt a bit dizzy, I taught I had a fever (even if it was summer) so I got home into bed.
I passed a few days in bed then I started to have some visions, I was seeing some swirling colors.
I felt like I was under psychic attack ( sorry, I never met you so I have to keep a resonable dose of caution ).
I remember all the comands I sent the software so I took it and ask “stop all connections”.
An hour or so later I started to feel better so I realised it was not a psychic attack because obviously an attacker would not stop when politely asked to do so.
What are your taughts on that? Is it possible the swirling color I was seing was the software trying to activate my muscles and I just asked too much too fast?
Also…
I was wondering what your experience is like when you see “the prompt”?
Do you loose consciousness of your physical view and have a vision or does “the prompt” comes in the form of an intuition?
These are some great questions. I can’t answer them in a comment, but I’ll make sure to get them in the book. Thanks for posting all of that.
Hiya! I gazed into the sigil with a blank mind, and shortly felt a snapping, like, a sort of sudden increase in pressure around the left front part of the brain. I attempted to sever the connection by imagining cyan energy coming out of my left hand like a blade, then slicing between my head and the computer screen. It seemed to work. I know I’m sort of a novice at some bits of energy manipulation (I usually just empath people and direct my own mental states, or postures as you call them, but I rarely push energy around or anything).
Anyways, though I thought I’d let you know that I was able to make a connection to it.
.
Also, I did recognize some of the symbols from alphabets. The S-like ones on the right look like sowulaz to me and even appears yellow (I have synesthesia and can read [elder] runes about as well as the latin alphabet). It looks like it’s on a stone. On a second evaluation of it, I parsed it as eiwaz instead of a backwards sowulaz. On a third evaluation, I parsed it as Z. Colors changed with each, of course (I’m phoneme>color in a way that overrides grapheme>color). The symbol near it looks like a 7 with a line through it, which isn’t the most common way to write it in America, but I do it. Also, on the right, there’s a wedge-shaped symbol with a dot over it. I recognize this from some conlang’s alphabet, but I don’t know which. Probably is on Omniglot.
And I haven’t tried the full exercise yet; just been messing with things so far. I do speak multiple languages (English natively, Spanish decently, French German Latin basically), so I may give their commands a go.
Thanks! I’m glad the software is working for you, it’s great to have another success with someone connecting to it. And thanks for the feedback on symbols — I barely speak anything beyond English, so it’s great to have someone multilingual to help with those things.
