Day 1 (0)
First day of the new run and funky stuff is already happening. On a subreddit I follow someone told me about hypersigils, especially in the context of funny Scottish fellow named Grant Morrison. If you know more on the topic feel free to either post it here or PM me, I'm gonna do some research on him and his ideas so any and all information may end up useful
I'm not sure if I want to use his techniques but at the same time there is merit to it from my point of view. I don't want to discuss this here in detail, I'm not sure how well it will stick with rule 4, but needless to say it's all about sigil as a way to externalize and make your desire material. As thoughts are in constant flux and one's desire change depending on mood, needs and for all, I know, the population of the emperor penguins, it might be a good idea to assign a symbol to a given desire.
I believe I tried something like that in the past and it did not work too well. But at the same time I did not put much thought into it so it hardly counts.
Now, the idea of hypersigils is more complicated and that is what I seriously need to research. But, like I said, research I will. There is great 40 minutes long lecture of his and I think I will listen to it 2 more times or so, making notes and posting my thoughts here on the forum. He says interesting things about nature of time for example as well as individuality and this whole "make your reality" stuff. I have some objections to his ideas but most of it holds quite solidly.
Before I end I want to ask of you to give me your thoughts on one more questions I was thinking about recently. This goes to @Shannon in particular but all can contribute. Assuming the theory of multiverse, a so uncertainty of the future as many potential futures are possible, does the same hold for the past? Is there only one Past or are the many pasts, the only requirement being that all these pasts led to the Present? The goal of this question is as follows - does the past (which we know from memories and little less, and even that is filtered through the lens of our experiences and reasoning) really objectively matter or should we simply focus on (certain as we experience it Now) present?

For not by numbers of men, nor by measure of body, but by valor of soul is war to be decided.
