This Is Style Is So Cool Oh My Days

“It's a very Greek idea, and a very profound one. Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it. And what could be more terrifying and beautiful, to souls like the Greeks or our own, than to lose control completely? To throw off the chains of being for an instant, to shatter the accident of our mortal selves? Euripides speaks of the Maenads: head thrown I back, throat to the stars, "more like deer than human being." To be absolutely free! One is quite capable, of course, of working out these destructive passions in more vulgar and less efficient ways. But how glorious to release them in a single burst! To sing, to scream, to dance barefoot in the woods in the dead of night, with no more awareness of mortality than an animal! These are powerful mysteries. The bellowing of bulls. Springs of honey bubbling from the ground. If we are strong enough in our souls we can rip away the veil and look that naked, terrible beauty right in the face; let God consume us, devour us, unstring our bones. Then spit us out reborn.” ― Donna Tartt, The Secret History

I’m gonna be so real some of you just need to lock in and stop trying to find excuses not to apply.

You don’t need any more information, stop scrolling.

You already know what it is you need to do.

So just decide.

Decide you have what you want RIGHT NOW and don’t let anything break you from that resolve. You have it right now.

Persist in the knowing that you have what you want.

Just lock in. Stop waiting. Stop living your old story.

I don’t know what it is but I feel like henry winter has his fingers in every fold of my brain

I can’t escape the man

Well, I shifted.

I made a big post saying how I think I'm gonna stop shifting, 2 days later, I wake up in my dr.

No words. Genuinely. I have never been so humbled

pretending i’m camilla macaulay as i write my 7,000 word essay on women in ancient greek mythology for my EPQ

i love every character in the secret history. they're all freaks. they're all alcoholics. they're snobs. they deserve nothing but the worst. i adore them. i want to study them as if i were a mad ornithologist and they were rare, cantankerous, bastard birds.

Tsh fandom has many many faults but by far the most irritating is when they decide to nitpick which actions are justifiable or even non-existant and which are disproportionately vile and irredeemable just so they can place some characters (francis, camilla) on a higher moral plane than others (bunny, charles) like they weren't all equally awful people and the point wasnt that they were all batshit crazy

Void Method

Get into a comfortable position, close your eyes and relax

Start focusing on your breathing

Start affirming, I would use the affirmations " I'm pure consciousness", "I'm not attached to any reality", "I'm in the void state" until you get into the void state (I will explain the void state tomorrow)

You will now that you are in the void state if your senses "fade" (noises become quieter for example), you feel like you are floating and you feel like you have no attachment to anything

Once you are in the void state affirm that you are in your DR and start visualizing your DR (visualizing is optional)

Do this until you feel your surroundings change or until you fall asleep

The void method was the method, that I used, when I almost shifted and it is one of my favorite methods
