As always, you can find the links to each section of this serieshere. I need to add an explanation of what BDSM is and why it's truly comparable. For now, you get this. :) The BDSM Angle I’ve said for years that the Process is like a BDSM scene. Meridjet is the dominant/top ...

What Fires Your Soul with Passion and Inspiration?
Well over a year ago, I started a post with an old original-to-Sheta survey and my responses. It's still unfinished in the drafts folder, but I was just looking at it for the first time since and found this question. My answer pleased me, so I'm giving it up here. ...

Sheta’s Story, Part 2 – Meeting Meridjet
Part one is immediately previous to this post. I recommend this mp3 for this post (right click and save as). :) Meeting Meridjet, via Henry Disclaimer, I guess: Despite my years-long history of spooky encounters, the notion of a spirit being anything than either a guide or something to be afraid of ...

The Early Days – Sheta
Alanora has inspired me by telling her story, and I realized I've never told the beginnings of my own story with Meridjet. Pretty much everyone knows how it started, but I've never expounded upon that. I guess I should do so now. :) First, The Backstory For those who haven't heard the ...

In the Spirit of Friendship
I get email forwards all the time. Most of us do. Today I got one that was a little more inspiring than the average fare, and I thought I would share some of it, with a little commentary. I hope you will find it equally inspiring. People come into your life ...

Filtered: Very Long, Very Personal
Last night, I was chatting with my friend Tim (he comments here as Sarenth) about his new spirit companion. His situation is going well, but that's not the topic of this post. I was feeling a vaguely emo feeling, nothing painful, just the sensation that something needed to be looked ...

The Problem with Ouija Boards

Book Series, Part 1
Chapter One, part 1 For the purposes of this series of articles, a spirit companion is more than a spirit guide or a spirit friend. While technically each of these could be considered companions, the term “spirit companion” was created with a specific dynamic in mind. Simply put, a spirit companion ...

Crossing the Abyss – A Repost
I originally posted this about a year ago. I just made a permanent page for it (link in the sidebar of this blog), and I'm reposting it here because I don't know if the RSS feed picks up pages. The first time I posted it, it received zero comments, which ...

Filtered: Graffiti Reflections
Seen on someone's wall once: "What you see in a mirror is a reflection of a temporary entity." I keep trying to tell myself that. Because then what Meridjet tells me would be true. He says that judging a human being for their body (looks, et al) is like judging ...

Meridjet Motives in a New Light
I was reading Wikipedia a bit ago, about schema therapy. There was a link at the bottom to their page on Cognitive Dissonance, in which I found this gem: Most of the research on cognitive dissonance takes the form of "induced compliance without sufficient justification." In these studies, participants are ...

Happy Endings Take Too Long
I've just finished watching Definitely, Maybe. I'm crying more than a little bit, and trying to figure out why, and trying to understand how a movie can be good yet make me never want to see it again. P.S. I Love You had the same effect. Normally I don't watch ...

Filtered: I Think Maybe It’s Time
Sometimes I think I'm not really growing at all, that I keep repeating mistakes when I thought I'd learned better. For example, when I was 19-20 years old and hanging out with a bunch of musicians all the time, I had an unhealthy attachment to the way they treated me ...

Filtered: Personal Philosophy, Final Chapter
Via random events (if there are such things), I'm reminded today that this chapter is long overdue. I apologize for how long it has taken. So much has happened, and this month is horribly packed with deadlines plus endless interruptions of urgent mundane matters. I may never catch up. But ...

Filtered: This is Personal
Over recent months, as I seem to snowball in my ability to express things that should've long ago been expressed, my mother and I have had many long talks about various feelings. We've uncovered old wounds and redressed them in cleaner ways, allowing for healing. We've expressed gratitude and regret. ...

Personal Growth Discussion
I was having a chat with a long-lost, rediscovered friend today that resulted in some stuff I wanted to save. Skim if you like, but I recommend reading. We were discussing qabala, and I found some quotes... Sheta: "The word nephesh (soul) designates the lower self in the time of sleep, ...

Meridjet and Lying, or Moral Ambiguity for a Cause
In an archival post from the old, defunct LiveJournal, dated 24 October 2003, I quoted an email regarding his ability to lie. My ideas have changed since then, but I am gonna go ahead and give you the old perspective first. The email text in italics, then the body of ...

Meridjet’s Use of the Process
As promised, I’m posting some archival stuff since InsaneJournal is loading (albeit slowly). I’m going to put in a few excerpts in an attempt to create a progression because it’s been a while since my last set of archival posts. From 13 October 2003: …First off, it became increasingly apparent yesterday that ...

Spirits are Morally Ambiguous
Today, as I slept, there was discussion on the spirit companion yahoogroup regarding spirits, lying, and teaching lessons. One member described how her SC tests her by teaching her hard, painful lessons, and other members chipped in to opine that ‘good’ spirits would never lie or do anything to hurt ...

Archival Post – Meridjet Manipulation
In an archival post from 11 October, 2003, I refer to Meridjet’s methods of manipulating my emotions for the purpose of helping me see things. I refer to this as “Processing.” I started out referring to the processes of discovery via his manipulation and guidance, and gradually the word became ...
