Divine Fire and The Game

6/23/23

When I stoke my internal furnace hot and bright enough, i channel divine fire through me.    For a while I coulld only catch brief glimpses of the divine fire.  First years apart, then months, and that alone would correct my course or drive me when it happened.  But over time the skill develops.  I make kit, as a vessel, a more conducive environment for these sparks to catch and for the flame to grow.  Now I can channel it longer, and in greater force.  It becomes easier to fully channel something from without, to make a vessel for a will/force higher than itself.  This vessel can be possessed, and with time it  is able to contain hotter fire, and for longer.  the entity that is kit is aware of the other-ness of that which is being channeled.  It knows it is interacting with forces and agents above its own perception, and although it cannot comprehend that which fills it, if it is able to cleverly line up its own intentions in just the right way in relation to those forces and wills higher than it, it can utilize those forces to further its own ends. 


imagine playing a board game, say, chess, and putting on a blindfold.  The board and the pieces are there but you are only made aware of the state of the game via the moves themselves.  like being able to see the ripples but not the object that caused them.  Yet you can still interact with this layer of reality.  You can play this game even without having the faculties to perceive it fully.  Even perceiving only the ripples is enough to allow one to play, albeit at a disadvantage.  These brief glimpses of divine fire are like getting to take the blindfold off for a moment.  At first I thought these glimpses could only be short, you take the blindfold off and peak at the board but only for a moment.  But with time I’ve found that I could keep the blindfold off for longer and longer periods of time.


All the information I gain from peaking at the board I could figure out from just thinking it out and calculating, but thats inefficient and takes a while and there’s a clock, so not having to do that manually is a huge advantage.  I know if I’m able to see the board I’m gonna be faster with my strategizing and calculation, so the longer i can have the blindfold off the better.  Sure I could train my brain to be just as good at calculating while blindfolded, orrrr i could get better at taking the blindfold off, and get better at keeping the blindfold off for longer.  


Ultimately, I must be capable of playing the game with the blindfold on.  It still benefits me to improve at playing with the blindfold on.  There will be times where i leave the blindfold on for a long stretch of time, and there was a time before i even realized i could take the blindfold off.  The gift of an over-the-board perspective more benefits the player who already has a good internal model of the game mapped out as opposed to the player whose conception begins at the board and pieces..


I feel myself cooling quickly.  I can still see the ripples although I cannot see the original object.  I can perceive the music thru the walls as it resonates, although I cannot perceive it pure, from the source.  The blindfold returns to its place over my eyes and i am must rely on my internal model of the game once again.  but this momentary reprise from blindness creates its own ripples, and its boons will make themselves known in due time.
