PostPosted: Sun 08 Jun 2008 17:01    Post subject: About me. Again. Reply with quote

I'm too lazy to go around the forum and see where I posted what part of my story, so I'll just make a thread to include the whole thing. This's about my spirituality and my condition of having two souls. In particular it's meant to address any questions anyone might have about the moody emo jerk in my subconscious, the one I refer to as "Master".

First I'd like to ask a question to the forum in general. Why are over half of the introductions (including mine) missing? Mad

Here and there I've said that I have two souls. Master is the one who isn't controlling my body and typing this message. When Hyraxylos reincarnated into this human body he decided to split himself in half in order to bypass the memory loss that happens in reincarnation. (see this post for my beliefs on the nature of souls and on what I believe causes the memory loss) My purpose is to gather information about the human species from a first-hand perspective so that Master can analyze it, and Master's purpose is (or was, rather) to tell me things about myself that I otherwise wouldn't have figured out. We made a deal with one another when he finally revealed himself outright; he would tell me everything about my past life and his discoveries of metaphysics, and at the end of my current life he will devour my soul and totally become one with me. That part almost always alarms people who read it, but bear in mind that we WERE completely the same being at the very beginning.
He's locked up in one compartment of my mind and is constantly hungering for me. But since he can't reach me (yet), and because he's miserable and driven utterly mad by both his hunger and his own dark view of the world, he tries to take it out on me by "urging" me to do strange things that probably shouldn't be done. Often spontaneous things, like suddenly drop this post I'm writing and throw myself out the window of my room, or randomly light things on fire for no reason. He manipulates my negative emotions such as anger and fear, and leaves it up to my better judgement to leave them aside unless they're needed. I suspect though that when we merge his personality will become more like mine.
As for his name... I suppose that technically, since this isn't HIS body (although he occupies it, he doesn't/can't control it directly) he isn't "alive" in the definition I apply to a "living" soul like myself. In that case he'd probably go by the name he had before he died. But he started speaking to me long before I knew his name, and I didn't have anything to call him. At first he refused to reveal the name "Hyraxylos" to me out of some sort of snooty pride ("You have to EARN that knowledge first." -_- ), but in December 2006 I decided to join Draconomicon, the first otherkin forum I applied to. I didn't know what to call myself, so he just relented at that point and told me what name we used to go by.

The forum is cleaned every once in a while, old posts are removed, so that the server can keep on running like it does now, pretty fast. It also keeps the forum from getting cluttered with old topics. That's why you can't find your, or my introduction anymore.

In reply to a comment in the thread about my narrative I decided to post here instead as the discussion pertains more to my spirituality in general than my writing on the "incident".

The same... condition? Does this mean that you too have an unusually large stockpile of info about a previous life? The two of me coexist with each other as well, but only grudgingly.

If you're possessed by another soul, then you don't need to talk out loud. Just think to yourself and imagine that someone can hear you.
Quote:
To humans I'm some kind of schizo.

Honestly I actually wondered too if I had anything that could qualify as schizophrenia so I looked it up. According to the DSM IV-TR, I do fulfill one of the major three parts by exhibiting both mental delusions ("hearing" and "feeling" Master's voice) and hallucinations (controlled mindscape, "phantom" sensations). Actually "hearing voices" is one of the key symptoms of a large number of disorders. Look on Wikipedia and note particularly the part about CONVERSING with voices in the head. Master doesn't actually interfere with my life (aside from that one time when he convinced me to give up on religion, which I was already losing my faith in anyway); if I ever give in to anything he urges me to do, it's by conscious choice and I don't feel "forced" to do it. In short, he doesn't control me. Since I'm missing one of the required criteria, I don't have schizophrenia. Since I'm well aware that hearing the voice of a dead guy is, in truth, a delusion (at least scientifically), and since the two of us don't "switch places" so to speak, I don't have any personality disorder. It's a close guess though. :3

That's why I'm here. To let others hear what they have to say.

That's up to you. Hyraxylos may have created my soul, but that alone didn't mean I HAD to sell myself back.

Btw... who are "they"?

Quote:
Everyone of us is eaten alive by what ever we have inside.

Ugh. Since I lost my ability to feel hatred, I think guilt is now my least favorite emotion. XP
Quote:
Perhaps you should ask not what you want from your inner dragon. Perhaps it is he that needs you. Perhaps the reason he says nothing might be that he does not know quite how to say what it is he needs to say. All you must do to hear him out is listen. That's all anyone wants is to be whole.

The only thing he wants from me is my death; he's said so time and again. He'll just have to be patient though, because I'm not yet finished programming video games and arguing with fundamentalists. I want to be whole as well... I too feel that same hunger, but it's much much weaker because I've got other things to distract me.
Quote:
I do hope you make peace with him. As I think he may be a powerful ally.

We'll continue to snap at each other with no possibility of being at peace until we merge. He's not interested in being anyone's ally either, only in being annoying and oppositional and gloomy and in enjoying his own insanity. When I argue with people, he urges me onward. When I get along well with someone, he dislikes that person. And he's going to be very pissed at me for this, but he's extremely TERRIFIED of Celtore... Twisted
Quote:
I write these words not only for you but for your dragon as well. Try the song Comfterbly Numb. That song helped me alot. Aaron Lewis's version of it is best. Or I could just post the lyrics here.

I can deal with him as is. Thanks anyhow.

Yes anytime I am asleep I can dream of only what they've done.
How they died, why they died. The whole bit.
They tell me what I need to know through my dreams.

I don't know if I'd call it a possession, but I don't know what to actually call it. So I guess I'll go with possesed, but it would be by many souls that I am possessed with.

I have, just sometimes it just gets so loud when they all speak at once
that I just blert out what I want to tell them, it's like standing in the mists of a stadiam and every person in the audience has a bull horn. It's an endless storm that rages with in me.
Truthfully I try as best I can to answer the questions that I could never know the answers too. They ask me not to tell everything they asked. One thing that they ask me is who they are. Some are just lost souls trying to find where to go. They have the option of leaving me when ever they choose. They keep telling me the reason they come to me is because I am a spirtualist medium. I have no clue as to what that means, if you do I am open to anything you know of it. Auroara is my dragon spirit. She told me that she she would try to help me answer, most of the questions that dragon spirits ask me. Some she wants me to figure for myself I admit that some times I meet dragons I am abit afraid of.

In the story you wrote Auroara,
was also reading it. She thought she heard of your inner dragon somewhere before, but she tells me nothing of it. She prevents me from coming even near her mind. They all have some way of blocking what thay don't want me to know. All they say is Patience you will now in time. So I am. They have alot to tell me but I trust them with my life.

Are they unaware of each other? They should learn to wait turns... Mad

It means someone... I don't know exactly. Someone specializing in communing (or carrying) spirits I think.

The name doesn't ring a bell. Think

That's to be expected seeing as how Auroara has not been around for some
ten thousand years.

Auroara has a message for Hyraxylos your inner dragon, that she wants me to write. If it offends anyone I apologize. Anyhow here is what she has to say ,"So you died. So did I perhaps not in the same way, but I can comprehend what you went through. You say you live in your own hell. Think of this. the same things your thinking might be what got you there. You want to escape your hell. Stop whining and do a something about it. Don't come to some one expecting them to pity you. It's uncanny really. So your dead, move on. There is always reincarnation. Perhaps it is then that you'll be reunited with your mate. I know the sun for you has gone away. Doesn't mean you can't find light, and if you don't have the strength in your heart to find it. Then you will never be able to leave your own little hell, don't expect pity from me". Again if this upset anyone I am sorry. Any how Auroara is interested in hearing what Hyraxylos has to say in response as to what she just said.

He once described the emotion "Guilt" as "a burning hellfire that consumes from within". That one time I saw his illusionary form, he was completely engulfed by a ghostly-looking fire that hardly gave off any light.
My theory about what he beats himself up over is most likely correct. It wasn't that he FAILED to save Suliathe, it's that he realized there wasn't anything he could have done to prevent her murder. I'm the same way. This sounds strange to many people, but whenever something terrible happens that hurts me, I'd prefer it to be my fault. At least then I can better prepare in case it happens again.

Quote:

His hunger for me has driven him completely mad, and his madness has unfortunately made him a bit masochistic. From time to time he forgets why he locked himself up in the first place (to protect me), and at other times he retains full memory of what he was trying to do.

Quote:

He can't escape as long as my living brain continues to function. Only I can let him out, and until I find myself dying I won't do that.

Quote:
Dont come to some one expecting them to pity you.


He doesn't. Pity is a "Light" emotion and would only make him angry if directed towards him.

Quote:

I'm not sure how Master figured this out, but he told me that his sister hasn't reincarnated. She's roaming around being hyperactive for no reason. And quite frankly, both of me are sick and tired of reincarnation. This will probably be my last life for a few aeons.

Quote:
I know for you the sun has gone away. Doesn't mean you can't find light, and if you don't have the strangth in your heart to find it. Then you will never be able to leave your own little hell, don't expect pity from me.


"Pity" again? We don't even KNOW this being! Confused
He doesn't like the idea of "Hope" applying to him either because "Hope" is... you should already have guessed. Laughing In his defense, whining is all he's got (aside from hissing about blood and trying to sound creepy) because there isn't any way he can speed up my death and get out. In spite of that he's actually quite patient. But I'm not. On bad days I'm not very tolerant of him going out of his way to annoy me. So I'm trying to get him to open up more, but it isn't easy and I'm not sure whether there's even any progress being made. By default he automatically fears anybody who shows any sign of liking me. Like I said though I'm working on him...

No trouble. Smile
