THINGS I WISH I KNEW WHEN I WAS GETTING STARTED WITH THE LAW OF ASSUMPTION (AS SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN MANIFESTING FOR 5 YEARS)

1. the law of assumption is personal. considering how we have different sets of experiences, different environments, different upbringings, and even different languages, we have different assumptions.

because of this, we are affected by teachings and success stories differently. it's important to note this since a lot of manifestation coaches will teach you about the law in a way that worked for them (and the others they may have taught) but it's possible that their advice (even my own) may not be the best for you. even abdullah and neville goddard, two of the people who are known to start this discipline, may have ancient or varied belief systems and techniques. this is normal considering the world they lived in before is different from the world we live in now.

although, you should still read on abdullah and neville because they will teach you the basics and they will help you understand the foundations of the law.

as an example, you might manifest your dream career faster with simple affirmation techniques but a coach may have taught you to focus on visualization techniques.

even the idea that "dominant THOUGHTS manifest" or "what you BELIEVE in manifests" is entirely up to you.

note: notice how i said "may not be the best for you" instead of "may not work for you". any technique can, does, and will work.

how i learned this: when i was learning about the law, i mainly focused on neville's teachings because he was one of the most prominent figures in the practice. and though i liked his practical techniques (especially mental diet and inner conversations), there were some beliefs that i do not agree with e.g. divine timing, appointed hour, avoiding "does not" "is not" "will not".

when i was going through sammy ingrams' takes, she said that it's better to have concise affirmations/short list (non-verbatim) than a long list of 25+ affirmations. but going through affirmations without being specific about them doesn't personally resonate with me and that's just because i'm a detail-oriented person (also a writer).

what i can advise:

learn about different approaches

a. through scientific concepts. e.g. quantum physics, reticular activating system, cognitive reframing, cognitive behavioral therapy, the psychology of placebo effect, the psychology of affirmations, Baader-Meinhof phenomenon (a.k.a. the psychology of self-fulfilling prophecy)

b. through religious and/or spiritual concepts. e.g. passages from the Bible, passages from the Quran, deity work, spells and rituals

c. through self-development. e.g. identity-based habit

start the practice with an identity you like in the present or an identity that you resonate with (learning style, talents, interests, etc.)

examples:

-visual learner = vision boards

-loves writing = scripting

-words of affection love language = affirmations

take teachings with a grain of salt. do not limit yourself and do not allow other people to limit you. experiment with concepts, ideas, and techniques, and have fun with them.

2. techniques are only reminders. you are manifesting either by thinking, feeling, or acting out your desires. you are manifesting every second of the day either with your thoughts, emotions, or by embodying a state. you are only being intentional when you anchor techniques.

note: it is true that your dominant thoughts manifest. it is also true that what you believe in manifests, the same way that your inner knowing manifests. BUT these ideas are meant to empower you. they are meant to remind you that manifestation is as easy as thinking, feeling, acting, believing, understanding, deciding, etc. if an idea doesn't feel good to you, it doesn't have to be an ultimate truth you embrace and carry on with. this is the same with techniques.

what i can advise:

choose one technique and practice it for 7 to 21 days. it can be mental diet, affirmation tapes, sats, mind movies, etc. as long as you can persist with it. give it time. give it time. give it time. in other aspects of the world, you give change some time. when you're calcium deficient and you decide to drink calcium supplements, you realize that it's counterproductive to ask "why am i still calcium deficient?" as soon as you start your regimen because you know your body is changing with the supplement and you put your trust into it. after all, why would you choose a supplement you have no faith on? you just give it time.

note: you can still manifest changes to be instant. you can affirm "i am seeing results now", "results come immediately", "my manifestation is quick". the amount of time you're using a technique does not equate to the amount of time your results will come.

the reason why i encourage you to practice for maximum 21 days is so you can fully explore and master the technique you chose. with the abundance of topics and methods discussed in social media, switching and trying new things is tempting. now, there is nothing wrong with this. it's just that, you wouldn't be able to take a step back and reflect on what worked and what takes more effort when you change techniques every so often.

try a technique that is popularized in the media. a lot of the times, the reason why this technique gained traction is either because it's simple or because it has worked for a lot of people. now, here's the thing: if said technique wasn't for you, at least you can say "oh this is a tiktok/twitter/youtube/old/beginner technique, there are other techniques out there" and you can try another technique with less resistance. but, if it did work, then it did. congratulations.

you can invent your own. here are some techniques that i invented throughout the years.

a. "name is set and solid with the fact that..." - works amazing for sp, getting people to commit, getting people to pursue you

b. "okay! manifestation powers go brrr!" - funny but i do this when I'm spiraling; it also helps me surrender doubts and i think it's because it's so simple and unserious lmao

you can combine them. for example, you want to do sats but you cannot hold a vision for long, what you can do is montage photos or videos that is similar to the vision you want to manifest. you can also have affirmation tapes running in the background.

3. "concept" work can be such a banger. assumptions are basically the conception about the world, about yourself, about the people around you. hence, when you manifest and apply the law of assumption, you change or reinforce a conception.

these can be done through:

self-concept

what it is: your awareness about yourself; the way you perceive yourself.

how you can apply it: there are multiple ways to establish your self-concept but the best way, is to start reinforcing the universal truth: that you are inherently worthy. you deserve money and resources because you are worthy. you deserve love because you are worthy. you deserve ease because you are worthy.

other ways to grow your self-concept is celebrating the identities you have within yourself that you like e.g. that you are strong, you are disciplined, you are beautiful. be careful about strongly tying yourself into these identities though because these are not the reasons why you shall receive. again, you shall receive because you are inherently worthy.

why it works: by having a strong self-concept, you develop ease. you are less likely to rationalize or question the law or why you deserve the things you're asking for. and as you may think, rationalizing may be a form of resistance. questioning may be a form of resistance.

one of the ways i have seen this is when people receive incentives from work, instead of just receiving or saying "thank you", they say things like "what have i done to receive this?", sometimes completely rejecting this gift because of fear that they might lose something when they receive. this can be an example of a weak self-concept. consequently, the company starts questioning "did my employer really do enough to receive this?".

on the other hand, someone with a strong self-concept can take this incentive and buy the things they like because they know they deserve it. they can also take this incentive and say to themselves "oh it's because i worked hard these past few days". it's the knowing and confidence they have within themselves that everything around them has no other option but to recognize.

conception of other things (e.g. of love, of money, of a specific person)

you can work on your conception of other things the same way you work on your self-concept: choosing a narrative that is uplifting to you.

in case you have resistance to a specific object, you can also listen to people's success stories to start shifting to a more positive and desirable perception. one of the ways i do this is by going back to abdullah and neville's story. these two men lived at difficult times, through difficult eras, yet they manifested their desires. they managed to let go of the 3D.

4. practice some distance as you're starting. you were exposed to a different life before the law, it's only normal and human to have doubts or spiral once in a while. however, when you set distance on things that do not help you embody the state, you set distance on things that will feed your doubts and spiraling.

for example, if you're shifting to a state of wealth and you're affirming "i have 1,000 dollars". it's unhelpful and opposing to be constantly surrounded by someone else saying "you only have 10 dollars".

now, i do understand that not everyone can do this right away because of circumstances. but PLEASE do whatever you can to set this distance. find a voice to reinstate your truth.

a personal story, i am an asian girl living with a grandmother who was pessimistic about love because her two children (my mom and my aunt) struggled with it. because of this, she used to constantly remind me of how love is difficult. i didn't know this at the time, but this created a set of beliefs in my head. consequently, as a teenager, i only seeked and allowed love which was difficult because that was all i've ever known. that was all my assumption.

but around the pandemic, i went back to the countryside with my dad where i had a lot of time on my own. this was when i got deep into new-age spirituality and did shadow work. from here, i realized: this is not my assumption about love. before my parents broke up, my assumption was that love is easy. you only have to make the other person laugh. when i was busy in school and would spend most of the time at my friend's house, my assumption was that love is support and light. i started to get these epiphanies that a lot of my pessimistic perception was because of someone i was constantly surrounded with and that i have to build new assumptions.

but around august 2020, i have to go back to the city with my grandmom. i was afraid of the toll i might get into when i got back. however, because i already practiced distance and understood what are the assumptions that serve me, what are the assumptions that i want, i was more at peace. i listed down affirmations about myself, about love, about money, about being "deserving".

after this, every time she told me what love was, i can stop her and say no. i can tell her that it's not the universal truth, and certainly not mine. along the way, i started manifesting that she believes love is easy and supportive. i started manifesting that she believes i deserve love that is soft and tender.

then, when i got into my relationship, she was nothing but happy and supportive.

other ways i have practiced distance while manifesting:

unfollowing content creators who normalized hating men.

unfollowing content creators who were shady and negative about relationships.

unfriending highschool guy friends who do not make me feel safe about men.

unfriending relatives who make unnecessary comments about my looks, my studies, my relationship, and my earnings.

unfollowing girls who made me feel bad about also liking girls.

unfollowing manifestation gurus who romanticize struggles because "the more you struggle, the more you get blessed"

unfollowing manifestation gurus who say stuff like "if you want money, you have to take action to deserve it. not just manifesting"

now, you can totally manifest these people to change and be better, as long as it will make you feel good.

that's all i can share today (since this post is already getting long). i hope you learned a thing or two. thank you so much for reading. i love you and i appreciate you !

I'm doing a College class on Ancient Foods. My focus is on Honey like the different recipes and usages in Medieval era. I found like a couple recipes, a thing on religious relation ("Milk and Honey of Paradise") /Crusades, medicinal use, and possibly bees/beeswax because I was struggling to get something.

Y'all have any recommendations?

(I've brought Zoe in on this one; the following is a collaborative effort. Also I'm assuming you have access to your university library so you can get ahold of the cited material below quickly and for free.)

Can you include beverages? Honey is the main ingredient in mead, which should give you a lot to talk about. Susan Verberg is the premier researcher on medieval mead, and has some excellent works on both mead making and honey production. She has a website at https://medievalmeadandbeer.wordpress.com/ where you can find both her formal publications and her blog.

If you do want to talk about beverages, there were other medieval drinks that used honey. Some citations for you:

Breeze, Andrew. “What Was ‘Welsh Ale' in Anglo-Saxon England?” Neophilologus, vol. 88, no. 2, 2004, pp. 299–301.

Fell, Christine E. “Old English ‘Beor’." Leeds Studies in English, vol. 8, 1975, pp. 76-95.

You can also go into cultural symbolism; here are a couple on that:

Enright, Michael J. Lady with a Mead Cup: Ritual, Prophecy, and Lordship in the European Warband from La Tène to the Viking Age. Four Courts Press, 2013.

Rowland, Jenny. “OE Ealuscerwen/Meoduscerwen and the Concept of ‘Paying for Mead'." Leeds Studies in English, vol. 21, 1990, pp. 1-12.

Also you might want to look into the general concept of the "mead of poetry" from the Old Norse sources. You can find the origin story for that in the Prose Edda, I believe.

Definitely check out https://www.foodtimeline.org for recipes with honey during the period - they have more than you'd expect. There's also a few medieval cookbooks you can parse through. Here's an online one you can sort through that does a great job modernizing the translations: https://www.medievalcookery.com/etexts.html

As for honey itself -- there's actually quite a bit of research on that! Honey was quite a specialized trade, and most of the medieval world used it for sweetener, so there's a good amount of research.

A few leads:

honey as an alternative to sugar, which was expensive, imported, and could indicate class

honey grading: honey was graded based on location/provenance, type (lavender, orange blossom, etc.), and also by grade. However, their method of grading was very different to our modern one.

honey as a preservative, not just for flavor

Articles on this subject:

(DEFINITELY this one!!) Fava, Lluis Sales, et al. “Beekeeping in Late Medieval Europe: A Survey of Its Ecological Settings and Social Impacts.” Anales de La Universidad de Alicante. Historia Medieval, no. 22, 2021, pp. 275-96, https://doi.org/10.14198/medieval.19671.

Wallace-Hare, David, editor. New Approaches to the Archaeology of Beekeeping. Archaeopress, 2022. JSTOR, https://doi.org/10.2307/j.ctv2b07txd.

Verberg, Susan. “Of Hony: A Collection of Mediaeval Brewing Recipes for Mead, Metheglin, Braggot, Hippocras &c. — Including how to Process Honey — from the 1600s and Earlier,” 2017. Academia.edu.

If you want to look more into the medicinal usage, Cockayne's Leechdoms, Wortcunning, & Starcraft collects all the medical & scientific texts of the Old English period. It's old enough to be public domain, so it's available on the Internet Archive and HathiTrust in searchable form, meaning you can just ctrl-F "honey" and see what comes up.

Let us know how it goes!

So, what are you and your friends' thoughts regarding Personas 1 and 2? And honestly, you can be as critical and as brutal in your replies as needed.

I can only speak for myself, but I'm very fond of both. The original has this really distinct, lugubrious atmosphere propelled largely by the music of Aoki, Okibe et al. It's a huge shame that English-speaking players are forced to choose between a version with an infamously compromised localization and a more approachable one that eradicates the aural identify of the original game.

I have a ton of affection for this era of Kaneko art as well. You can tell he was having a lot of fun using then-contemporary celebrities as references for the character designs; there was a certain facial idiosyncrasy that would be lost as he settled into his more distinctive, modern style. Also a big fan of the lanky, expressive sprites in both games- it's such a rarely deployed idiom.

The battle positioning and diffuse exp acquisition go a long way to diminish any satisfaction there might be in the battle mechanics, but I do appreciate the oddly terse dungeon design, which feels like a complete outlier among the first-person dungeon crawlers in the series.

I'll have more to say about the P2 duology once we revisit it for the stream, but I think these games are really singular. EP in particular has what I would consider the platonic ideal for character portraits in this style. Super eclectic, tons of heft to the construction, and clearly a lot of care invested in every expression. An early peak for this representational mode in the series.

The dungeons are kind of wretched. Brutal encounter rate, and these huge, nothing rat mazes that feel completely divorced from the urban structures they're intended to represent. Record stores do not look like that, they are in fact very small! Fuck off!!! The combat is functional but basically frictionless. Best negotiation dialogue in the series.

One thing that I love, and this is present to a lesser extent in P1 as well, is the way your party members will populate the various stores, shrines, parks etc. There's like 50 of these fucking places, and every new plot flag refreshes the dialogue for each character. They easily could have written so many variations of "Hey, are you sure we should be wasting time here instead of heading to (next plot destination)?", but almost every interaction is full of fun character-building moments that would otherwise have no place within the urgency of the narrative. I think this superabundance of tertiary dialogue is actually very charming when engaging with it is left to your discretion.

But most importantly, it's the perfect capstone to the fin de siecle obsession with the occult in Japanese pop culture as it had manifested in the previous two decades. The games throw absolutely everything into the equation- alien spaceships, divination, ancient prophecies, the NWO conspiracy, Lovecraft, the fucking Dan Brown Hitler subplot- everything was on the table. It's this fantastic summation of the Nostradamus/Y2K/Millenial zeitgeist of 1999, and just a great outlet for that sheer, Okada-Kaneko-propelled creativity. The modern games are incredibly anodyne in comparison.

hope all my guido guys out there enjoyed this post and no one scrolled past it b/c they thought I wrote fucking 7 paragraphs about kandori

The bloodmoon is actually pretty tbh

Wyldfyre is in denial over Rontu and Egalt being stone now lol

You know, Kai is right- he only managed to do the rising dragon strike once. That doesn't mean he knows how to use it

GAWDD LLOYD- I JUST WANNA HUG YOU

By the way, why has Galandarias orb thingy have so many cracks? I don't think that's good, to be honest. oH IT'S EVEN TAPED TOGETHER

I KNEW IT'S A BAD IDEA WITH THE BOX

PROPAGANDA

Xander Harris

ok look he isnt perfect. but hes consistently lumped in with the "did everything wrong" category when (a) he is literally just a normal guy who cares about his friends, (b) EVERYTHING super shitty about him is due to either 1) his character arc, or 2) the writer deciding to project on him, and (c) he probably hates buffy dating vampires for valid reasons, like how his friend was killed IN EPISODE ONE by a vampire and *xander* staked him. like for example i cannot stress enough how the early seasons misogyny sucks and is gross, BUT is part of his character arc and is a thing he grows out of! plus as a kid who had a shitty home life and was bullied, and also wasnt super special in any way, he is intensely relatable because he is the "just some guy" of buffy. except his story shows that you dont have to be powerful or fulfil ancient prophecies or anything to be needed. ("its okay to be just some guy" - btvs) he defeats a villain with the pure power of friendship! basically xander harris deserves better and DEFINITELY didnt do everything wrong

Princess Bubblegum

"PB isn't evil but she uses a political system that can be easily turned oppressive under the wrong ruler (dictatorship)". She is highly morally grey and willing to assume the mantle of a warlord if provoked. All her family and even her offspring Goliad are at LEAST morally grey, with many being straight up evil. The candy people are arguably made stupid on purpose... eugenics? Also her right hand man Peppermint Butler is OBSESSED with dark magic and practices it adeptly.

A word vomit of GO consciousness that will make the barest scintilla of sense BUT hear me out

Are we 100% convinced that Agnes Nutter and her freaky-deaky prophecies are not going to make an appearance in S2? I realise Anathema burnt them in an excellent moment of character self-revelation but the whole "Ye Saga Continues" seemed rather ominous, far too ominous that it would be forgotten about? Can we be sure that she did have a wee skim of any that would be majorly important, and make a note of them for future reference? Send it on to Aziraphale in his bookshop (because you must be JOKING if you think I don't believe those two are now firm penpals)

Speaking of future reference, others have put it out there and something in me agrees and wishes to reiterate: the parallel of Nina/Maggie alongside Crowley/Aziraphale seems just as important as the specific presence of Nina/Maggie themselves... Does Agnes put out a prophecy that refers to a couple specifically in Soho? And C/A in their infinite and ancient wisdom think it refers to that cute lady couple across the road?

OR, separate thought on Nina/Maggie, in the Crowley Summons Force Lightning Scene™, presuming it hasn't been cut especially different to the actual scene, we see Nina and Maggie in the coffeeshop when Crowley summons lightning... And that lightning hits the shop... So, not necessarily worrying about why had a meteorological temper tantrum, but what was the effect that that lightning had on the ladies in the shop? And is that actually the start of them becoming involved in the story?

I'm 100% convinced that Amnesiac!Gabriel is not even one of, let alone the main storyline. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the Gabriel disappearance barely spans more than, say, two episodes. I feel somewhat (don't @ me) that the storyline is a little bit glib and a bit... shallow? Which, given NG has an Intellect We Shalt Never Comprehend, leads me to believe it is a vaguely rose-pink herring and that for the purpose of the trailer and not spoiling anything actually pertinent to the main story arc, they have deliberately centred the trailer on a pretty funny skit that, going by general continuity of the clips used in the trailer, only really lasts a short time and will provide the segue to the main story...? Imho, it's a bit of a downgrade for a story to originally focus on the contextual morality and mechanics of Despatching the Antichrist, to... well.

RESURRECTIONIST PUB. This is the bit I'm really looking forward to, especially now we've had a sneak peak of the article that presumably gets Aziraphale's attention (the Jukebox Jeopardy). I've put it in another post half-jokingly, but this is the same kind of magic (unsure of the nomenclature regrettably) that presumably affects the Bentley. My understanding for the rationale behind the mystical haunting à la Bentley, and it's been a while since I read the book so might have this completely wrong, is that through exposure to Crowley, it is affected by Crowley's demonic influences... Nothing awful, but has absorbed enough to have adopted the Queen-obsessed IDGAF attitude.

It would therefore stand to reason that the jukebox is being effectively influenced by a demon in a similar way....? So, with that in mind, what if (and it's a leap, I grant you):

-Gabriel gets kidnapped by demons, God only knows why (and probably orchestrated the bloody hoohah)

-Gabriel escapes/demons forget to lock the door/cast a spell on him and send him off bollock-naked unto the misty London night

-Heaven eventually track down Gabriel at the shop, and possibly enlist Az and Crowley to help them find whoever did this to Gabe (for a good ole-fashioned Retribution)

-They track them down through various news articles (which, let's face it, is very Witchfinder Army of them, I'm proud), but especially one that leads them to the Resurrectionist pub and its Jukebox?

QED: Think it's a little coincidental that one perceives a Bentley and a jukebox with the exact same symptoms, potentially instigated by long-term exposure to a hell-raising demon, and not conclude as being tangentially related

This is kinda related to the above but not really and I have no idea what I'm trying to get at, but one thing I noted in the Con panel audio clip of Muriel and Aziraphale is that Az... Doesn't really seem surprised by Muriel being there? Like, sure, she's not a Horrible Boss Archangel, but he almost seems immediately... affable, to this random angel just appearing at his shop, in full white Met Police kit, talking like they possessed an original Bow Street Runner...?

Cmon, he obviously knows straight away what they are and why they're there, but he just seems so... Calm, about it all? Not one bit anxious, not one bit worried that they're there to spy on him? Almost definitely on orders from Heaven? Who, whilst Az has broken away from them, could still very well destroy him or, worse (?), put him on the one way train to Falling? So what I'm trying to say I guess (honestly I'm not even sure) is that - have Az and Crowley actually been seeing more and more angels/demons coming to Earth for a lil vacation? Have taken a metaphorical leaf out of their book, and decided to find out if Earth truly does Slap?

I no doubt will continue to add to this but in the meantime I will proceed to scream into the abyss in the hope that an echo bounces back and metamorphoses into an Intelligent Thought™, such is my preferred form of meditation

Ciao for now~

Dream dragon AU by milder-manners (check it out, there is good world-building, beautiful concepts and just as nice strip pannels drawn by them) theory

Okay, I'm going to try my hand here because I'm not sure how much people will think it's spoilers if I ask but I still want to get it out. This is more a jumble of thoughts than a true theory about what will happen

First, there is the (to me at least*) open secret that Dream is the white dragon since the first pannel and the prophecy implies he will tranform himself sooner or later (but can he already ?)

Dragons hybrids can shapeshift (thanks to vow this is now a fact (aka, her being a human silhouette then having a large tail in Dream's flashbacks) + the author confirming that some magical beings can shapeshift)... but it also said it's something you have to train for, even if genetical grounds matter a lot. So is that why Dream try to steal the End info, to power up his own strength ? Is it for himself, as dragons- nature can makes them want to hoard knowledge (on that note, is that the same motivation than vow ?) or is it to be able to get revenge (especially since we now know for sure he comes from Deepheart's capital)

Which brings me to a second theory : Dream's presence in Deepheart (2 things)

1. Magic : Wardens seemed very careful about who could learn the death magic. It seems logical than only a very few can learn it, aka the Ancient Council. I doubt another hybrid than warden (especially a cow hybrid since they aren't supposed to have magic) would be invited to learn it. Was Dream ever interested in this if he likes hoarding knowledge ? Could he try to study it even if his magic doesn't resonate with it ? Or maybe it's just a coincidence and he never had an interest in this kind of stuff (but ok, I'll admit the dsmp impacted my theory with c!dream and all that. Idk how much it ties into pure warden lore. But the death link is there and I don't want to close the door on this too quickly)

2. Growing up - dream's parents and heritage.

I want to be clear I may be wrong and the author may want to take us in a very different direction, but the white horns, the prophecy, the fact Dream is fireproof and that usually when you follow a guy you know is the hero and makes himself pass for a prey hybrid... all those makes me 99% sure about what Dream is supposed to be.

Where it's interesting is that dragons hybrids are rare, and that it's genetics that make an hybrid. So Dream's parents should be dragons hybrids too : what were they doing in Deepheart and why didn't they survive ? It may be that they weren't lucky genetically and weren't fireproof, or died from buildings falls, but maybe they weren't even there, Dream already alone at that age. Tried to know a bit more about dragons habits with their kids but seems like I was too sneaky with my formulation :')

Anyway. If Dream had parents keeping him safe, what were they doing in Deepheart ? Were they interested in magic too or trying to live a normal life (possible, but uncertain seeing how they are characterized so far). If his parents weren't there : why is Dream there, has he been left there voluntarily ? Why Deepheart especially if the Empire seems interested in the End, he would have been more in his place there. Unless his parents didn't know he was a dragon hybrid (which, they could both had recessive dragon genes which could explain the whiteness).

It could be an easy plot point where the author just needed a town to put Dream in that the Empire would attack but I think they wouldn't mention sculk magic that way and the importance of Deepheart if there wasn't more to find.

...I feel like an old crazy geeze trying to analyse this lmao, feel free to interract if you have more ideas to explore or points you disagree with

#w.d.a #initials of the au bc i don't want to appear on the tag and i'll be real i post this so i can have an official record for myself of theory

“God exemplified his wisdom in not endorsing any of man’s cosmologies in his Word. If God had done otherwise, it would have needlessly exposed the Bible to ridicule in nearly every age, for man’s cosmologies have changed continually over time.”

-Dr. Danny R. Faulkner, The Book of Enoch and the Flat Earth

"The various enactments of the law, moral and ritual, were written on the heavenly tablets (iii. 31, vi. 17, &c.) and revealed to man through the mediation of angels (i. 27). This conception of the law, as I have already pointed out, made prophecy impossible unless under the guise of pseudonymity. Since the law was the ultimate and complete expression of absolute truth, there was no room for any further revelation: much less could any such revelation, were it conceivable, supersede a single jot or tittle of the law as already revealed. This is exactly the view of the Rabbinic scholars. Thus they taught that whereas the Prophets and Hagiographa will in the future cease to be, for there is nothing in them which is not suggested." "[Apocalyptic literature] has been always pseudonymous from the third century B.C. onwards. This pseudonymity was due to the absolute supremacy of the Law, which left no room for prophecy." "God had, according to the official teachers of the Church, spoken His last and final word through the Law, and when the hope was expressed that in the coming age a prophet will arise, he was only conceived as one whose task was to decide questions of ritual or priestly succession, or legal interpretation in accordance with the Law. Thus in 1 Mace. iv. 46 the stones of the defiled altar of burnt-offering were to be put aside till a prophet arose, and similarly in xiv. 41 (cf. ix. 27) the high-priesthood of Simon was to be provisionally acknowledged till a prophet arose, who could decide on the validity of his high-priesthood. Accordingly the first fact we are to recognize is, that from the time of Ezra and Nehemiah the Law has not only assumed the functions of the ancient pre-Exilic prophets, but it has also, so far as it lay in its power, made the revival of such prophecy an impossibility. The prophet who issued a prophecy under his own name after the time of Ezra and Nehemiah could not expect a hearing unless his prophecy had the imprimatur of the Law."

"It is now clear, I think, that from Nehemiah’s time onward prophecy could not gain a hearing, whether the prophecy was genuine—that is, appeared under the name of its actual author—or was anonymous, unless it was acceptable in the eyes of the Law. From the class of genuine and anonymous works we pass on to the third division, the pseudonymous, There are at all events two of them in the Old Testament, Ecclesiastes and Daniel. With the former we have here no concern. But how are we to explain the pseudonymity of Daniel and the other apocalyptic works of the second century B.C., such as Enoch, Jubilees, and the Testaments of the XII Patriarchs? This pseudonymity has already in part been explained. These apocalyptists do not merely repeat the old truths, which in so many cases had become the mere shibboleths of a petrified orthodoxy, they not only challenged many of the orthodox views of the time and condemned them, but they also carried [more truths;] according to Zech. xiii. 1-5 (a late work written from the priestly standpoint), if a man declared himself to be a prophet his father and his mother were to put him to death. By such drastic measures prophecy was driven forth[...] and has never since been suffered to return. The task of leading the people into more spiritual conceptions, alike as regards the present life and that which is to come, devolved henceforth [to the pseudonymous apocalyptic]."

-Charles, R.H., general editor, The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament, Oxford, 1913

Re.Gray 027 - Suspicion

[ Masterlist ] [ Read on AO3 ] [ Raws ]

Summary: Bookman and Lavi introduce themselves, and tell us a bit about the Noah. Allen goes for an ill-advised walk.

C H A R A C T E R S

Allen Walker Lavi Komui Lee Lenalee Lee Bookman The Millennium Earl Arystar Krory Eliade

S T O R Y

It all began about a hundred years ago, with the discovery of a single Cube.

The substance it was made of, God-crystal (also known as "Innocence"), was imbued with a strange power. Inscribed upon it was an apocalyptic prophecy from an ancient civilization, as well as instructions for the handling of said substance.

7000 years ago, those who inscribed the Cube bore Innocence into battle against the Millennium Earl and his demonic cohort, and were eventually victorious. However, as written in the Biblical tale of Noah and the Flood, the world was then destroyed.

To prevent the recurrence of this apocalypse, nicknamed the "Three Days of Darkness", Exorcists — Accommodators chosen by the Innocence — join the battle against the Millennium Earl.

In the phenomenon-stricken Rewinding Town, Allen clashed with Road Kamelot, a girl who called herself a member of the "Noah clan". But she vanished, leaving many unanswered questions in her wake....

What orders will the Black Order give Allen and his compatriots next?

Allen: From my father, whom I turned into an Akuma some time ago.

Bookman: "Allen Walker", Bookman: the child who was given the "Time Destroyer" prophecy. Bookman: We are those you call "Bookmen".2 For our own reasons, we have become Exorcists.3 Bookman: The brat's name is Lavi. I myself have none.

sfx: pi— [Komui whistle-snoring; he's on the floor beside Lenalee's bed, surrounded by stacks upon stacks of books and documents, a quill in his hand still poised in the middle of signing one] sfx: pi—ko— [wheezing exhale and inhale] On forehead: OFFLINE

Allen: Komui?

sfx: osugi— [the wheezing changes slightly as Komui's head lolls on his shoulder]

Allen: Lenalee's going to get married.

sfx: gacha! [Komui is abruptly on his feet, scowling, helmeted, drill in hand, glasses doing the villain glint]

Allen: Morning, sir.

Komui: Oh, Allen...? What is it?

Allen: Just visiting Lenalee.... Allen: Looks like she's still asleep, though.

♦ 11

On box: MANDARINS

Komui, side: How's the eye?

Allen, side: Fine.

sfx: ton ton [Komui briskly taps a sheaf of documents on a flat surface to straighten them] Komui: Bookman has seen to her, she'll be all right. She's just having a very long dream.

Allen: Bookman, hm.... Those medical instruments were unusual.

Komui: It's acupuncture, an ancient Chinese healing art passed down to the present day. Komui: The old man's an absolute whiz at it. ♪

Allen: ...... Allen: Komui? Allen: Why are you really here? It's too hectic for you to be away from HQ. Allen: It isn't really for Lenalee and I, is it. Allen: Who are the Noah clan?

♦ 12

Lavi: He came to ask us just that. sfx: do—n [boo; Lavi emerges from the stacks, surprising Allen and Komui] Lavi: To ask Gramps, I should say.

Allen & Komui: !! Allen & Komui: How long has he been here!?

sfx: niko [Lavi grins, once again unsettling and insincere]

Lavi: "Noah" is the name of a rootless family only spoken of behind the scenes of history.4 Lavi: They show up at major historical turning points time and time again, but you won't find them mentioned in any books or records. Lavi: And now here they are with the Earl. Lavi: That's why Komui came all this way.

♦ 13

Lavi: To talk to the only ones with records of all that underhistory: us BookmEGH—

sfx: DO [Lavi is interrupted by a boot the face, courtesy Bookman] sfx: dogyan [rest in pieces kiddo]

Bookman: How many times must I tell you to watch your mouth? Bookman: Bookman secrets are not for outsider ears!5

Allen & Komui: How long has he been here!?

Lavi: Aw, c'mon, it's fine! I'll be succeeding you any minute now, right?

Bookman: Like hell you will be! You're so wet behind the ears you're dripping! sfx: puh [so emphatic he's nearly spitting in Lavi's face]

Lavi: Kiss my ass, grampanda. ��

sfx: chira [Bookman glances over at Allen] Bookman: Allen Walker.

sfx: biku [startle] Allen: Y-Yessir!?

♦ 14

Bookman: Take this time to rest. Bookman: When Miss Lena wakes up, you'll have to head out again. Bookman: Don't be in a hurry.

sfx: BATAN [door slamming; Lavi and Allen have both been unceremoniously evicted]

Overhead: FROZEN OUT

sfx: pata pata [Tim flapping at Allen's shoulder]

Lavi & Allen: ......

♦ 15

Lavi: How old're you?

Allen: Fifteen, ish.

Lavi: Aha, I'm older. I'm eighteen. Lavi: Only fifteen, huh? That grey hair geezers you up. Lavi: You can call me Lavi, by the way. Or Junior; some people use that, too.6

Allen, side: Grey...

Lavi: Hey Allen, can I call you "beansprout"? sfx: gusu [snicker]

Allen: WHAT? sfx: bobu [the big snowball he was making crumbles in his hands]

Lavi: I mean, Yuu calls you that.

Allen: ? Allen: "Yuu"?

Lavi: You mean you don't know? That's Kanda's given name. Lavi: Kanda Yuu, that's him.

Allen: Is that so... I had no idea. Everyone just calls him "Kanda"....

Lavi: You should use it next time. His eyes'll bug out of his head, just you watch. sfx: kekeke [villainous giggle] Lavi: Well, you might not get the chance for a quite a while now, though.

Allen: What do you mean?

Lavi: Mm, call it a hunch.

♦ 16

Lavi: Kind of suspect this next mission will be a pretty long campaign. Lavi: The Earl's making his move. Lavi: That's what the Noah showing up means.

Road, flashback: This time, within the bounds of our lord's Scenario.

Lavi: Gotta watch our backs.... sfx: pon pon [patting the snowman face he's just finished making smooth]

sfx: gigi [Allen clenches his left fist tight in front of him] Allen: I... became an Exorcist to destroy the Akuma.

♦ 17

Allen: Not to kill human beings....

Lavi: ......

sfx: zah [Allen begins to walk away]

Lavi: Hey, what's up? Lavi: Beansprout—

Allen: It's ALLEN!! Allen: I'm just going for a little walk, you go on ahead! sfx: zukazuka [stomping off]

Lavi: Oh boy. Lavi: He is just a kid.

♦ 18

sfx: kiiii [the sun shining in a beautiful sky; five missiles streaking through] ?: Entering drop zone. ?: Proximity: 2800 ?: 2000... 1500... ?: 1000... 500. ?: 100.

♦ 19

Allen: What is it? Allen: What is it?

♦ 20

Allen: What am I so afraid of? Allen: Is it being in a crowd of people? Allen: They all look human. Allen: Right now my left eye sfx: doh [thump; heartbeat] Allen: doesn't work. Allen: Are they human? sfx: doh [thump]

♦ 21

No dialogue. Allen walks through the cheerful human crowd, and as he passes, the faces now out of sight behind him twist into leering, fanged monsters.

♦ 22

sfx: bah [he spins around, on high alert] sfx: kui kui kui [all seems normal, the faces blithe and human again]

sfx: ho... [phew....]

Babykuma: Ekthorthist?

sfx: DON [impact]

♦ 23

Lavi: Whew, close one.... Lavi: What are you doing, Allen?

sfx: bushuuu [air blows past Allen's face from the impact, which was Lavi's giant hammer smashing the babykuma and its mommykuma into the street] sfx: dan [he's balanced easily atop it, one foot and a hand on the long handle]

Lavi: Get up. Lavi: We've got incoming.

♦ 24

LAVI

As a Bookman successor, he cast off his real name at the beginning of his journey.

His true nationality is also unknown; he's the product of many mingling bloodlines.7

18 years old Height: 177cm, 5'9 ½ Weight: 68kg, 150lbs Birthday: August 10th Leo, blood type O

Lavi wasn't originally a D.Gray character, but the protagonist of an entirely different story called "BOOK-MAN". I'm very fond of him, and delighted that I finally get to introduce him here. The Bookmen, archivists of underhistory, and their successor, Lavi, may now become integral key figures in the story of D.Gray.

Someday (if this doesn't get cancelled) I'll show you why he wears that eyepatch, so stick around.

FOOTNOTES

奇怪 kikai "strange, mysterious, weird" is the same word used to describe Innocence phenomenon, though it's unlikely that Allen's Innocence has any hand in healing his cursed eye. If anything, it might be the opposite: something Dark-Matterish about Mana's curse. [ ♠ ]

我らは　ブックマーンと呼ばれる相の者 warera wa "Bookman" to yobareru saga no mono, "we are those with the nature/destiny to be called Bookmen"

There's something really difficult to translate here: that word saga refers to "nature" in the sense of "human nature", or "destiny" in the sense of "biological destiny".

"Bookman nature" obliges them on a fundamental level to fill a particular role in the world, and it's almost certainly something they're born with, something inherent to them. [ ♠ ]

Hahaha, he just comes right out and says it: he and Lavi chose to become Exorcists for Bookman reasons.

I've theorized before that Bookmen are able to jailbreak Innocence and Dark Matter at will so they can position themselves ideally as observers (and, relatedly, that Cross was able to jailbreak Chomesuke and prevent himself from Falling because he's the "lost successor").

This line makes it pretty clear that Innocence didn't really choose Bookman and Lavi as Accommodators; Bookman and Lavi co-opted it so they could be in the field as Exorcists. I assume they have backdoor hacks enabling them to be wherever they need or want to be because they're not exactly participants in the "simulation", but something more like dev or tester avatars, coming in from "outside the framework" to make error logs and bug reports. [ ♠ ]

無根 mukon "groundless, baseless, rootless". I think this actually means something like sourceless in this context: nobody can figure out where they came from, where they originated. They're just there, out of nowhere.

Also: 裏歴史 urarekishi describes a "hidden, unilluminated, unseen, behind the scenes" history, the history beneath or behind known history. I plan to translate it pretty consistently as either "behind the scenes" or "underhistory", depending on sentence structure and context. [ ♠ ]

This is almost exactly what Lero said to Road when it was scolding her about sharing Noah secrets with outsiders. Lero and Bookman insist on secrecy; Road and Lavi don't see the harm in spicing things up a bit. Parallels! [ ♠ ]

As I recall, the next and only person to call him that is Chomesuke, the aforementioned jailbroken Akuma. Which means the "some [people]" here refers to Cross, who hasn't been back to HQ since before Bookman and Lavi joined up. Early hint that Cross and the Bookmen are acquainted, and not through the Order. [ ♠ ]

様々な異種族の血を引く samazama na ishuzoku no chi wo hiku "descended from the blood of a variety of interracial matches"

Weird line that could either just mean he's a bit of a melting-pot, a mixed-race kid born to mixed-race parents, or mean that he's the product of a deliberate breeding program of some kind (which, yikes). [ ♠ ]

INCIDENT REPORT FORM

DATE: Some kind of Tuesday

TIME: It was 2 AM somewhere

LOCATION OF INCIDENT: City of Atlantis

NAMES OF PERSONS INVOLVED: Do not ask me to remember thousands upon thousands of names

DESCRIPTION OF INCIDENT:

Please answer the following questions in detail:

1. How did the incident occur?

I was merely taking a stroll, talking to the locals when I was accosted by the Spirit of the Forest. I was minding my own business. Am I not allowed to waltz through the markets and chat with the vendors and their children about the wonders of the sea and the depths of knowledge that could be obtained?

2. Who or what was responsible for the incident?

I would point the fingers at the Spirit of the Forest and the Serpentine Deity that embodied Chaos.

3. Did any supernatural Entities, such as ghosts or unicorns, witness the incident?

Do said entities count? If there were any, I would not be able to acknowledge them.

4. Was any magical or enchanted objects involved in the incident? If yes, please specify.

None that I know of.

5. Did any of the witnesses or victims have any pre-existing medical or psychological conditions that may have contributed to the incident?

Likely, given the fragility of humans. I believe at least a couple were ill with various diseases when I took my stroll across the markets. One had a stye, I think.

6. Was there any use of time-travel or inter-dimensional portals that may have caused the incident?

None that I am aware.

7. Were there any witnesses who were under the influence of any magical or mind-altering substances at the time of the incident?

I think the turnip vendor was working while under some sort of opioid.

8. Were there any extraterrestrial beings involved in the incident?

If there were, show me.

9. Was the incident related to any prophecies or ancient myths?

I suppose the legend nowadays counts, no?

10. Was anyone wearing a cape at the time of the incident? If yes, please describe the cape in detail.

I wore a shawl if that counts. Many of the locals wore some kind of cape, and I think the Spirit of the Forest had one too. His smelled like deer dung.

DETAILS OF DAMAGE:

Please provide the following information:

1 (A). What was the extent of the damage caused by the incident?

The entire city burned, razed, and then sank, and with it its inhabitants.

2 (B). Were any ancient artifacts or treasures destroyed or damaged? If yes, please specify.

I would not know. Personal ones of the locals, perhaps.

3 (C). Did the incident cause any disruptions to the natural order of the universe or any other planes of existence?

A few changes of temperature in the local seas, added debris and polluted corrals, but that is all I was able to witness.

4 (D). Were any of the witnesses or victims harmed during the incident? If yes, please provide details.

The inhabitants of Atlantis would be such victims. Witnesses include the Serpentine God of Chaos and the Spirit of the Forest.

ACTION TAKEN:

Please provide the following information:

1. What action was taken immediately after the incident occurred?

I merely left. There was nothing left for me to visit or see.

2. Were any emergency response teams called to the scene? If yes, please specify.

I passed by a few rescue ships, but by then it was too late.

3. Was any magical or supernatural intervention required to mitigate the damage caused by the incident?

I am not aware. Maybe the local Cthonic Gods stepped in. I would imagine at least Thanatos did.

4. Was anyone punished or reprimanded for their role in the incident? If yes, please provide details. [LEAVE BLANK FOR O.A.B PERSONEL]

5. Was any follow-up action required after the initial response to the incident? If yes, please specify.

None that I was given.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:

Please provide any additional information that may be relevant to this incident.

All I did was merely walk around the town and talk to the mortals. No more, no less. I did not even get to shop and was denied buying nice amulet. None of the souls could have been consumed because I was intervened first anyway. Which is a shame, as I am certain no one would have missed that particular politician mucking up one of the districts of the city.
