no prob @Agwe, thanks for sharing the pics, really beautiful statues

no lmao

My apartment is full of statues aha.

My wife and i go antique shopping often.

@Diadact some people use the term "calling" in place of "summoning"

usually cause of the larpy connotation of "summoning"

kek

someone say larp?

I only wish I had a cool cloak like this guy

What a chad

@PugThug come forward ryan, speak to me of the things a ryan would do

@Diadact nice selfie

thx bb

lol

Ryan just doesn't have the same impact as Imfthhotep, keeper of secrets 🤔

while edgebot is making the video, you guys ever read the book "Operators and things"?

Written by a woman with former schizophrenia. Really interesting way of describing it

@Osteos
You can also look into Raziel.

He's the angel which rules over secrets.

Or Marbas, the demon prince of secrets

the way she describes schizophrenia is truly terrifying

okay i got my vid

oh?

@Diadact that's a very interesting read, hope she takes medication now

I wonder how much schizophrenias hallucinations are formed around our own knowledge

she later describes it takes the form of what you believe

I bet people from different cultures hallucinate different things

she said they have 3 things in common always

it's some sort of authority figure, only you can see and hear them, and they have superhuman powers

She said someone might see Jesus in the place of the alien, or Satan

You're right in your assumption it's based around culture

its an interesting book, but can be hard to read, due to her mental state the way she firms sentences are strange

*forms

Interesting, she talks about feeling like nobody can help her, but it never seems like she entertains the idea that none of what she's seeing is real. Or maybe knowing that is meaningless?

or maybe schizophrenia also impacts the ability to make that kind of determination

She understands it's not real. In the book she has a conversation with her doctor and he tells her it's good she understands that's it's all in her head

the problem though is that she says even if she realizes it's not real that doesn't make it go away, in fact they get anger and violent if she tells them their not real

She eventually got better after 20 years of it, and was able to live a normal life

She said that her mind eventually created another being that's sole purpose was to stitch her back together again
