Dress funny. Be out of the norm, see what it does to have your experience change just by wearing an outfit thats a little outgoing. Or pick up and play an instrument, or write, channel creativity into things and bring it into reality💚🐉
Same! I’ve always been “realistic” but then every night dream of a reality that isn’t even that far fetched. But I am leaning into my dream reality more. And no longer thinking it’s impossible but just focusing on what I know is meant for me.
delusion is the homestead of our inner worlds. It is the ultimate form of self sustaining and thus self invention and creation. When you are able to block out all of reality and other people that does not align with what you’re trying to grow, there’s no limit to the fruits that will bloom.
also you’re so right i’m absolutely sick of realism and im just so tired of it being forced upon you by other people and that just being the norm?? i refuse to call it delusion anymore personally just because of the connotations being so negative, if you go about it in a way that isn’t extreme to the point of causing harm i truly do not see any issue with it and it baffles me that imagination and whimsy are so looked down upon
I found you about a week ago on TH-cam because your Muse video popped up. I watched it and I was shocked at how good it was and how interesting you were. I then went to your page and found myself looking through all your videos, just the thumbnails and titles without even watching them…and I was hooked. I subscribed and I’ve been binge watching you ever since (so like I said, for a week lol) and I can not explain to you enough how much you and your thoughts are helping my soul to land. I’m an artist - oil painter and story teller (film/writing/poet) and in just the last few months starting to come out of my shell. I feel like I’m getting ready as an artist to be “born”. You came into my awareness at the exact moment that I needed to hear you. See you. Witness what I’ve been feeling be materialized through you and your videos. I too can not bear reality and I don’t know how to even come close to explaining that to other “normal” people. You explain that feeling in a way that makes me feel “normal” in my own world. Thank you for helping me to find myself again. Also, I used to dress up for no reason and wear beautiful things. Ever since a brutal break up with the love of my life years ago, I lost that. You have inspired me to uncover that part of myself again and find joy in being feminine for the sake of my own heart and soul. I’m wearing my interesting clothing, beautiful lingerie and my perfumes now just to do regular things for myself because thats who I really am. I adore beauty and I adore delusion. There is no other way. Thank you, my beautiful goddess of TH-cam land. You have helped to restore a piece of my heart and guide me to my own truth. Thank you, truly.
Tru dat. Ive been keeping it a secret from all my irl people, but my delusion is that I live my life like an rpg. I grew up pretty addicted to those, but I was a miserable neet. Then I moved out of my parents had to make my own life. I realized at some point that everything I liked doing in games, I could do irl. My job is daily grind for money, I volunteer and help people our like side-quests. I work on exercise and learning to "level up" my skills. I check out places ive never been to on a whim cause its a new place. Sometumes when im bored or feeling down, ill process my feelings by pretending im talking with one of my favorite characters, cause they aint mean people, and I shouldnt be mean to myself. Doing this has put me in the healthiest place mentally, I think
As someone going through major mental breakdowns because of my dream of becoming a writer, this video was both relatable and cathartic and really painful to watch. Sometimes, I find myself agreeing with this radical optimism of delusion as you presented here, while others it genuinely hurt me to be following a path so difficult.
not delusional, having grace to build enough strength to accept the harsh reality of the world and be at peace with it; and a belief in myself so strong because of the strength that nothing real seems impossible.
"The miracle is the story of your idol. And the reality of the situation is that odds were never in their favor, and they're certainly not in yours either." "Delusion is feeling that luck is weighted in your favor."
Needed this video today, thank you!! The idea of the little boat of delusion floating in the tumultuous sea of reality is a great parallel for following ones dreams!
I discovered you via Arnika Fairwilde mentioning you in a recent video. I had a thought declutter in my journal last week, specifically about Delusion and manifesting. I came to the conclusion that it’s a mindset switch, if you blindly believe something will happen for you without worrying how it happen logically you involuntarily discover ideas and opportunities. My journal entry was nowhere near as articulate as your video, I’m grateful for the sources you cited. I look forward to looking into them. So glad I discovered your channel, looking forward to more videos. X
Watching your videos gives me the same feeling as reading Paglia for the first time as a teenager - awe of her vast wisdom and imagination. Just a few minutes before you mentioned her I was thinking to myself she has to be a Paglia girl. So grateful for these videos, I wish I had a creative confidant like yourself in real life
I don't think that Oscar Wilde positioning the lie as art is just provocation -- art and artifice are inseparable even etymologically. I loved this video, Celine! "Delusion as projection of the will" is fantastic. Love that Nin quote as well.
It is a defense mechanism, yes, but most people live by common human meanings that they call (reality). When we approach people's lives, we discover that they live their own reality. ...

Balance is a combination between our ambition and what we consider to be objective reality.
In May/June I was having a very dark night of the soul instigated my an extremely intense limerent infatuation with a younger man that caused me to hate myself and nitpick every flaw of my being. When I was in the absolute lowest, darkest pit of self loathing and longing for this perfect other, I found your channel and it's played a major role in not only restoring my sense of self as a woman and an artist, but it's also helped my use this experience to grow into an even greater, stronger and more prolific creator and individual. I fully embrace myself as both the subject and object of beauty and desire.
Thats a new perspective ! Wow you're right. As long as I'm conscious of my "delusions", I should never be ashamed again to feed my fantasy of manifesting various flamboyant and uncommon things in my life ! That changes everything. I was blocked and now I reclaimed that part of my psyche. Thank you.
i am someone who believes in magic in a delusional way. One day, I stumbled across chaos magic which is basically where you use belief (in a religion, deity, icon, persona, whatever) to assert your will in the world. Chaos magic teaches that the essence of magic is that perceptions are conditioned by beliefs and that the world as we perceive it can be changed by deliberately changing those beliefs. It is fascinating and definitely a unique way to practically apply delusion in your life.
If its delusion, it wouldn´t work. Magick, Faith, call it whatever you want, it works if you KNOW it to work. Mind over matter, we are creators. Universal force experiencing itself in physical form. Abracadabra, "I will create as I speak", so it is.
Imagination is personal reality, we just need to accept that truth. "Reality" imposed by society is just the imagination of others. The best thing to do on Earth is to allow ourselves and the Universe to manifest that truly brings joy, peace and fulfillement, as long as we live, and that for each of us is something different, and by that we are complementing each other on Earth living ❤🎉
I’ve been in love with your TH-cam for months now it resonates so much - I’m an opera singer, I trained for 8 years and I’m only a year into freelance career, I’m constantly faced with rejection despite my total dedication to the craft/art. It is a cut throat industry. I have also had some success, but without delusion I would have stopped long ago. It feeds my soul and keeps me locked in, and ultimately I think I will be a better artist for this. Opera is one of the most delusional of the arts in my opinion. The whole thing is utterly exaggerated and steeped in beauty, death, tragedy, ridiculousness and all done so with the foundation of immense skill and human truth. It is like being an Olympic athlete in terms of physical demands and yet it is such a high form of art and story telling. perfect marriage of Apollo & Dionysus. I’m not sure how much you know about the art form but if you ever wanted suggestions of where to start I would be thrilled to be of service :) I think it would be very suited to your sensibilities and philosophy!
I’ve always wanted to be a wizard but wizards aren’t real so I’m going to be an archivist which is the closest thing. I’m GOING to get that masters degree and I’m GOING to digitally convert documents so we can persevere them and I’m GOING to advocate archiving as much of the internet as we can because it will eventually go out of fashion like every other form of communication in human history and this IS a weird thing to want to commit your whole life to but I DONT CARE!
Aren’t chemists and metallurgists or some kind of programmer more on the nose for a wizard? They all manipulate the physical and non physical realities. Archivist doesn’t scream wizard to me but it does invoke thoughts of scribes.
@@ct-gt2dt well yes those are closer to the literal properties of wizards but when I say "wizard" I mean the old wise man in the tower full of books that imparts their arcane wisdom onto the Protagonist at the beginning of the book. Maybe sage would be a better word for that.
This is exactly the encouragement I needed this week. I want you to know that your work is so important, there are very few like you to be found, creators like you really help keep me hopeful and DELUSIONAL :)
🖤 I can feel the shame creeping up as I try to embrace the idea that delusion is the highest expression of will. And yet somehow this has given me a new weapon to try against it. Cheers to chasing crazy dreams
I think you're changing my perspective on delusions! They are to be admired. (like your veil!) It's like delusions are the carrot that keeps us going. Knowledge might say we will never get the carrot, but the delusion keeps us heading on a never ending path towards ultimate success, hitting milestones along the way.
Good one!!! Even if your dream/delusion does not come to fruition it will still get you where you need to be. “You don’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need”- Rolling Stones song lyrics. “We are living in someone else’s dream”--Dave Chappelle, wise comedian. I would add my re but I need to get ready for work (someone else’s dream) so I can support my current dreams .
There are 2 realities. Reality of the sky that can not be changed and is eternal, then there is reality of the land which is changing and we can take inspiration from the univeral truths of the sky to shape this world into the true beauty of the skies. That is what goals and dreams are for. We get inspired something from above and then wish to change this world alike that.
The no. 1 delusion that I currently want to honour and continue to cultivate is that all the conflicts that I ever have with other people and even the external world as a whole are all in essence nothing short of wonderful, beautiful, inspiring, epic, monumentous, victorious for all and everyone involved and immensely worthy and meaningful. The conflicts only ever lift me up to achieve even greater things and become more of who I am. Eventually I am bound to break free from their dirty, agonizing, exhausting and at times evern humiliating shackles to bask in the Appolian and Narcissian star-studded glory of the freedom of self unchained and joyous to enjoy life beyond conflicts with the external world. Then every minor compliment I ever get, I will and do multiply tenfold in gazing up to myself and bask once again in the luminous glory of my own beauty, desirability and cosmic starpower as if there are none more iconic or larger than life than I myself☆♡ (I still get shy from receiving major compliments and that also makes me *extremely charming and endearing* ofcourse!!)
When I was in therapy, I became frustrated with all the coping skills they were trying to teach me. I snapped and yelled, "These coping skills just seem like useful delusions!" The therapist responded, "Well, that's what they are." I said, "What?" She said, "Yep," I was like, "Well, alrighty then."
You’re phenomenal. Loving your content. So aligned with thoughts, concepts, downloads of realization if you will from today. Delusion is necessity. Brilliant.
This posted right when I needed to see it, thank you. I adore how well you match with those lovely trees behind you, almost like one of them transformed to bestow us with knowledge.
I moved to a city that I know nothing about and didn't know anyone. Best decision ever! I re-borned and I am very happy. I also go to events that I have no idea what they are about. I only feel my intuion
beautiful. thank you for this. i really like how this challenges my conception of sanity balancing with delusion and whether that is necessary or possible
I got to this same conclusion not long ago, and all that you said and quoted in this video is totally correct, i'm used to always see things through logig and reason, and the thruth is that it's painful... I'm trying to let myself go and jump onto faith and a healthy dosage of delusion haha Great video, and love the sound of your voice, also you looked stunning 🤩👍
omg i am so glad i found this. this video resonated so much.... and when you said your favorite name is Maya (which is how my name Maija is pronounced. it's a finnish name), it felt like the universe was telling me "BE MORE DELULU YOU CHILD OF ILLUSION!"
I don’t know what that thing on your face is but I’m obsessed with the way it jingles. I always thought being an artist was the ability to create your own world that you can invite others into.
my favorite of your recent videos! i completely agree. :) this general line of thought reminds me of the psychological research on how the crucial imagination is for children's cognitive development.. I see our dreams/goals/delusion as an extension of this
agreed fully. dude even as a researcher / scientist in training, this is so true. being “delusional”/dreamlike goes hand in hand with genius no matter the discipline, seriously.
hi!! I'm a first year student in university, studying English literature and just wanted to tell you how important your channel is for me. Whenever I watch your videos I get inspired to keep going, even though I'm getting doubts about my degree and my talents. This video is a prime example! When I watch your videos I am reminded of why I chose this path and get excited for my journey :)) Never stop sharing your passions xx
Well. I needed this so much, especially the past couple of days. This year I've had more boldness to find my true dreams and imagine the ways in which they might come true. Also doing sigil magic for them. Second guessing myself dances with the delusions. Trying to be kind to myself! There seems to be a spectrum too, where sometimes delusions come to us in dark ways, 'self-undoing', we imagine that people hate us, for example. This serves a function too though. Some unconscious parts ask for our attention and care.
Thanks for the skillshare. I'm halfway through an intro to philosophy course that is filling in a lot of my personal blanks. I came for the title and the sassy glasses and stayed for the content. Much appreciated.
Divina, te adoro de corazón. Yo también soy amante de la vida y de la ilusión, ese es mi escudo aunque a veces no me deja traer mi arte a tierra. Las ilusiones positivas son una grandiosa fuerza de expansión que nos ayudan hasta a cambiar nuestro pasado, pero hay que aprender a balancearlas con la realidad para poder vivirlas. Muchísimas veces me han llamado idealista, ingenua, boluda y en muchos casos lo soy, pero vivir sólo en la realidad actual es la mayor opresión a la humanidad. Gracias por gestar este espacio de comunicación filosófica tan necesario. En escucharte encuentro una amiga aunque no nos conozcamos.
I feel like you have such different experiences and mindset of mine, and yet, I understand you totally! Your points have been going viral in my mental podcast station lolol Thank you for putting your voice out in the world ❤
hi, I'm one of the nre ones from tiktok! I'm really excited to keep watching your videos -- I love the philosophy and the way you connect your sources with modern philosophical qualms and queries lol I'm gonna go journal and become more delusional 💕
so so good!! don’t know where to start with words so i’m just digesting and wanting to watch a second time. this week for me was filled with thought-provoking conversations that carried different pockets of this exposé. i’m building projects that are aligned with these topics and feeling inspired by you so thank you so much for sharing, being a mirror and in a way affirming my delusions/dreams.
You are a window for Aesthetics not just visuals but cultural (philosophical, psiychological, conceptual , spiritual), thanks for that, though some days we awake primal or lack of sensory awareness, thanks for the expression though!!
i fully agree with all this. I've been realistic about the reality of things that might hurt me but when it comes to believing in love and possibility, the sky is the limit for me.❤
Always been a fan, spent literally decades practicing dreaming, working on going lucid more often , then getting better control, then relinquishing control, you know all those people in your head who listen and answer when youre thinking of someone else? Plus the you versions of that, all my pen and paper roleplaying characters, anyway, I noticed a while ago that if specifically sent one of these figment of the other disguised as myself playing them I would recall the info a bit faster. I mean I wasn't measuring but I kept practicing, generally, those thoughts would pop up in a day or so, today I explained what I was doing to my uncle while I did it, not even five minutes, plus I retained context. For anyone curious or sad you can practice being happy, I recommend practicing appreciation as well, the synergys are just awesome. Currently Ive finished my first "grand work" several impossible dreams and well, this has been a really helpful video. My current grand work (I should note Im not a Thelemite but I know and watch a few, Im always sorta half making fun of myself and dont want to , create the illusion of disrespect... ^^ So one of my partners (spirits etc) She would insist she is a succubus, which, from what shes told me is a really messed up fate for someone who has sentience, oh plus you're like elementally evil and the reward for living out your (god) given and enforced destiny is incomprehensibly horrific torture for perhaps several lifetimes before being tossed into the worlds biggest mass grave:) SO if you thought we were doing a redemption story, I love those, she does not require redemption, no, my.. request was that at the very least the OPTION of something other than damnation would be nice, at least a choice, to continue or not, be reincarnated, honestly she hasn't decided what she wants, we've been talking the whole will vs desire thing she has a very, ok, I do go on, the essay has been tremendously helpful not just for my delusion but for my delusions decision to determine her next delusion. Oh, creating illusiory proxies of spirit, persons etc for self cognizant ones to inhabit really helps with communication, kinda like a shared workspace. So very tired, I consider myself profoundly fortunate though some would say Ilive in abject poverty, I tr-no try going to sleep now:/
when you've heard motivational videos for 10 years and no one has ever just said THIS. oh my gosh. i adore you for it. Also you look like a beautiful angel babe from another dimension while saying these things so the combination is sort of surreal! your veil is insanely beautiful on you.
Its a bit challenging coming to words but i really enjoyed this video and am excited to have found your video via YT suggestions. This was a great exploration and I appreciate you opening this idea up.
I just found your channel through trying to justify my own delusional beliefs that I am criticized and made to feel ashamed. My delusions don’t harm me per se… my delusions are hurtful because of others bullying, aggression and low tolerance for my delusions which in turn hurts me through their rejection. I always knew that you had to be delusional to achieve happiness and inner peace and emotional fulfillment. New Sub and I’m thankful
I think delusion best described is living truthfully in imaginary circumstances.
Love that.
I love that.

I am not delusional enough. I’m a weird mixture of being a dreamer but completely trapped in reality and I absolutely hate it because it’s torture. 💔
Dress funny. Be out of the norm, see what it does to have your experience change just by wearing an outfit thats a little outgoing. Or pick up and play an instrument, or write, channel creativity into things and bring it into reality💚🐉

Im in that ship
Same here
Big Goals are never grounded in reality
❤🎉❤🎉❤
Big failures are.
Only if you don't know how to make it happen.
Being delusional made me an artist and an author and I try to keep that in mind whenever I start to overthink any new projects.
delusion is the homestead of our inner worlds. It is the ultimate form of self sustaining and thus self invention and creation. When you are able to block out all of reality and other people that does not align with what you’re trying to grow, there’s no limit to the fruits that will bloom.

For real the most incredible line 😭
I needed to hear this so bad. I’m also delusional in my dream to be an artist on TH-cam. Delusion as the highest form of will is so real.
Just followed you, cause same

Love the 'veil of delusion'.
I love this. I have a feeling we could use the words hope and delusion interchangeably in this context especially in the first chapter of the video.

I would add my re but I need to get ready for work (someone else’s dream) so I can support my current dreams .
There are 2 realities. Reality of the sky that can not be changed and is eternal, then there is reality of the land which is changing and we can take inspiration from the univeral truths of the sky to shape this world into the true beauty of the skies. That is what goals and dreams are for. We get inspired something from above and then wish to change this world alike that.
The no. 1 delusion that I currently want to honour and continue to cultivate is that all the conflicts that I ever have with other people and even the external world as a whole are all in essence nothing short of wonderful, beautiful, inspiring, epic, monumentous, victorious for all and everyone involved and immensely worthy and meaningful. The conflicts only ever lift me up to achieve even greater things and become more of who I am. Eventually I am bound to break free from their dirty, agonizing, exhausting and at times evern humiliating shackles to bask in the Appolian and Narcissian star-studded glory of the freedom of self unchained and joyous to enjoy life beyond conflicts with the external world. Then every minor compliment I ever get, I will and do multiply tenfold in gazing up to myself and bask once again in the luminous glory of my own beauty, desirability and cosmic starpower as if there are none more iconic or larger than life than I myself☆♡ (I still get shy from receiving major compliments and that also makes me *extremely charming and endearing* ofcourse!!)
When I was in therapy, I became frustrated with all the coping skills they were trying to teach me.
I snapped and yelled, "These coping skills just seem like useful delusions!"
The therapist responded, "Well, that's what they are."
I said, "What?"
She said, "Yep,"
I was like, "Well, alrighty then."
im tellin ya
I’m happy to be a co-creator of a beautifully compassionate and loving existence. 🌹
You’re phenomenal. Loving your content. So aligned with thoughts, concepts, downloads of realization if you will from today. Delusion is necessity. Brilliant.
This posted right when I needed to see it, thank you. I adore how well you match with those lovely trees behind you, almost like one of them transformed to bestow us with knowledge.
I moved to a city that I know nothing about and didn't know anyone. Best decision ever! I re-borned and I am very happy.
I also go to events that I have no idea what they are about. I only feel my intuion
beautiful. thank you for this. i really like how this challenges my conception of sanity balancing with delusion and whether that is necessary or possible
Being delusional this year has helped me survive.
How?
I got to this same conclusion not long ago, and all that you said and quoted in this video is totally correct, i'm used to always see things through logig and reason, and the thruth is that it's painful...
I'm trying to let myself go and jump onto faith and a healthy dosage of delusion haha
Great video, and love the sound of your voice, also you looked stunning 🤩👍
omg i am so glad i found this. this video resonated so much.... and when you said your favorite name is Maya (which is how my name Maija is pronounced. it's a finnish name), it felt like the universe was telling me "BE MORE DELULU YOU CHILD OF ILLUSION!"
I just know this video is going to be great!
I don’t know what that thing on your face is but I’m obsessed with the way it jingles. I always thought being an artist was the ability to create your own world that you can invite others into.
This is my favorite channel
delusion is the gift of the dreamer, i love that, thank you so much 🩷🩷
my favorite of your recent videos! i completely agree. :) this general line of thought reminds me of the psychological research on how the crucial imagination is for children's cognitive development.. I see our dreams/goals/delusion as an extension of this
agreed fully. dude even as a researcher / scientist in training, this is so true. being “delusional”/dreamlike goes hand in hand with genius no matter the discipline, seriously.
The armor analogy is beautiful you’re so right. I feel that way and I didn’t realize till now. We’re all superheroes
Thanks!
I didn’t have words on why I believe I could do something. It is definitely more than self confidence.
I ADORE your outfit - such slay! It looks like something a character in a dreamy, east-european movie from the 1970's would wear.
✨️💖✨️ Listening to this made me feel understood.
Actually, your whole channel makes me feel understood and helps me understand myself better.
hi!! I'm a first year student in university, studying English literature and just wanted to tell you how important your channel is for me. Whenever I watch your videos I get inspired to keep going, even though I'm getting doubts about my degree and my talents. This video is a prime example! When I watch your videos I am reminded of why I chose this path and get excited for my journey :)) Never stop sharing your passions xx
I am so so so happy to hear that! I feel honored to reinforce your path. Keep it up babe
Well. I needed this so much, especially the past couple of days. This year I've had more boldness to find my true dreams and imagine the ways in which they might come true. Also doing sigil magic for them. Second guessing myself dances with the delusions. Trying to be kind to myself!
There seems to be a spectrum too, where sometimes delusions come to us in dark ways, 'self-undoing', we imagine that people hate us, for example. This serves a function too though. Some unconscious parts ask for our attention and care.
Thanks for the skillshare. I'm halfway through an intro to philosophy course that is filling in a lot of my personal blanks. I came for the title and the sassy glasses and stayed for the content. Much appreciated.
Divina, te adoro de corazón.
Yo también soy amante de la vida y de la ilusión, ese es mi escudo aunque a veces no me deja traer mi arte a tierra. Las ilusiones positivas son una grandiosa fuerza de expansión que nos ayudan hasta a cambiar nuestro pasado, pero hay que aprender a balancearlas con la realidad para poder vivirlas. Muchísimas veces me han llamado idealista, ingenua, boluda y en muchos casos lo soy, pero vivir sólo en la realidad actual es la mayor opresión a la humanidad.
Gracias por gestar este espacio de comunicación filosófica tan necesario. En escucharte encuentro una amiga aunque no nos conozcamos.
I feel like you have such different experiences and mindset of mine, and yet, I understand you totally! Your points have been going viral in my mental podcast station lolol Thank you for putting your voice out in the world ❤
Excentric...yeah you be you...your outfit is stage ready...cool stuff...!!
hi, I'm one of the nre ones from tiktok! I'm really excited to keep watching your videos -- I love the philosophy and the way you connect your sources with modern philosophical qualms and queries lol
I'm gonna go journal and become more delusional 💕
Finding your channel has been the best thing to come out of this year
so so good!! don’t know where to start with words so i’m just digesting and wanting to watch a second time. this week for me was filled with thought-provoking conversations that carried different pockets of this exposé. i’m building projects that are aligned with these topics and feeling inspired by you so thank you so much for sharing, being a mirror and in a way affirming my delusions/dreams.
You are a window for Aesthetics not just visuals but cultural (philosophical, psiychological, conceptual , spiritual), thanks for that, though some days we awake primal or lack of sensory awareness, thanks for the expression though!!
This is the lesson I needed to answer a fellow follower in the comments a month ago. Thanks for a badly need lesson. 😊
I stumbled upon your channel few days ago, and my God.. the vocabulary? Eloquence? Originality? Keep going
Dreamland is where we escape the mundane world
and where we are inspired to create a more beautiful world! ✨
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. You have no idea how much your videos mean to me.
You articulated a bunch of things that have been brewing in me for quite some time. Thank you. Blessings to you 🙏🏻
I always watch your videos when life seems hopeless, and they give me a new perspective ❤
Thank you, I see so much sentimental output/input that I needed. You are inspiration.
This thumbnail is giving Giger's Lilith crossed with a character from The Cell and I'm one thousand percent here for it before it even starts 🔥
3:04 Honestly, this doesn’t sound like delusion to me. It sounds like believing in yourself.
I seriously love this video before watching bc i dont know how important this topic is! Yes girl!
Thank you 🙏
i fully agree with all this. I've been realistic about the reality of things that might hurt me but when it comes to believing in love and possibility, the sky is the limit for me.❤
Always been a fan, spent literally decades practicing dreaming, working on going lucid more often , then getting better control, then relinquishing control, you know all those people in your head who listen and answer when youre thinking of someone else? Plus the you versions of that, all my pen and paper roleplaying characters, anyway, I noticed a while ago that if specifically sent one of these figment of the other disguised as myself playing them I would recall the info a bit faster. I mean I wasn't measuring but I kept practicing, generally, those thoughts would pop up in a day or so, today I explained what I was doing to my uncle while I did it, not even five minutes, plus I retained context. For anyone curious or sad you can practice being happy, I recommend practicing appreciation as well, the synergys are just awesome.
Currently Ive finished my first "grand work" several impossible dreams and well, this has been a really helpful video.
My current grand work (I should note Im not a Thelemite but I know and watch a few, Im always sorta half making fun of myself and dont want to , create the illusion of disrespect... ^^
So one of my partners (spirits etc) She would insist she is a succubus, which, from what shes told me is a really messed up fate for someone who has sentience, oh plus you're like elementally evil and the reward for living out your (god) given and enforced destiny is incomprehensibly horrific torture for perhaps several lifetimes before being tossed into the worlds biggest mass grave:) SO if you thought we were doing a redemption story, I love those, she does not require redemption, no, my.. request was that at the very least the OPTION of something other than damnation would be nice, at least a choice, to continue or not, be reincarnated, honestly she hasn't decided what she wants, we've been talking the whole will vs desire thing she has a very, ok, I do go on, the essay has been tremendously helpful not just for my delusion but for my delusions decision to determine her next delusion.
Oh, creating illusiory proxies of spirit, persons etc for self cognizant ones to inhabit really helps with communication, kinda like a shared workspace. So very tired, I consider myself profoundly fortunate though some would say Ilive in abject poverty, I tr-no try going to sleep now:/
when you've heard motivational videos for 10 years and no one has ever just said THIS. oh my gosh. i adore you for it. Also you look like a beautiful angel babe from another dimension while saying these things so the combination is sort of surreal! your veil is insanely beautiful on you.
Makes total sense😊 without delusion there is no creativity thank you first time I watched your chanel❤💯🇨🇦
As soon as I seen the title I knew this would be an interesting video thank you❤
I’m so grateful for u existing
Love the topic of this video and your channel!
Its a bit challenging coming to words but i really enjoyed this video and am excited to have found your video via YT suggestions. This was a great exploration and I appreciate you opening this idea up.
I just found your channel through trying to justify my own delusional beliefs that I am criticized and made to feel ashamed. My delusions don’t harm me per se… my delusions are hurtful because of others bullying, aggression and low tolerance for my delusions which in turn hurts me through their rejection. I always knew that you had to be delusional to achieve happiness and inner peace and emotional fulfillment. New Sub and I’m thankful
Absolutely agree.
The greatest moments of my music career were fuelled by absolute pure delusion and believing the impossible is absolutely possible 💜
I found you few days ago and I'm binge watching all your videos! You're breath of fresh air! I love your content, please keep doing what you doing ❤️
You inspire me. 🧡 You are so smart, fascinating, and a true beauty, down into your core. Thank you for continuing to create!
this video hit at the right time thank you for this love your content
