Interesting, but from where are you getting this?

I have this pair of magic glasses. They let me slot in templates like a lens for self-reflection. What emerges often times predicts the future.

What would be the purpose of ascending to Aetherius?

I may have confused this accidentally on purpose. It has to do with how they connect themselves to the moons. The specifics of the ritual are naturally and necessarily obscured, however it generally involves an amalgamation of influences of certain bloodlines, remnant relics, and associated knowledge, amplified and directed in order to create a “gateway” of sorts through the ethereal.

So, it isn’t so much they ascend to Aetherius as they multiply aetherial influences to focus and “drill down” on a pattern, which allows them to manifest energetic connection to certain “anchors” they are targeting, specifically the moons, which facilitates “ascension” in the sense that from their place on Nirn the moons are indeed “above,” in as much as such references are relevant.

Even still, the physical component to this transport is largely figurative, the occupants of Nirn having yet to encounter aetherially any influence of kindred awareness on other worlds that would be able to establish for them the bindings on their side of the bridge necessary to physically relocate their actual person.

It is however sufficient, to draw these microscopic shards of the God-body, which themselves are all-containing by association, and in sufficient accumulation, establish a powerful gateway in their own.

This and also the process by which they “impregnate” the world may be generally viewed as “additive magic” in this interpretation, a drawing in more than a fanning out, though at the point a "critical mass" is achieved the purpose is the same. This is in keeping with the spirit of the Psijic Endeavor.

Of course saying is a far cry from doing, or truly being. Which is why I remain skeptical.

I've gotten so used to MK/Vehk Techno-Babble that nothing using actual words makes sense.

Trivec sounds like Trebek.

Ergo, our savior will be a Warrior-Poet-Gameshowhost.

It becomes a reminder to the architects of their own mistakes or negligence, at which point they can choose to take responsibility to correct, by subtle or direct intervention on that failed trajectory of what is essentially of them, or lower themselves by dissociation and denial, refusing to acknowledge they are capable of making them.

This memory magic we employ, it is what turns the work from potential breakthrough to hopeless entropy. Destruction of the self-manifest reflection, no longer content to wait for better answers to emerge, instead to settle for reliance on some equivalent or associative archetype of all-spark, however realized or even understood.

You would sabotage capacity for a short-sighted functionality, and to what end?

The inverse of guidance. Rather than leading to individual discovery and emergent awareness by experience and free will to learn and to improve, this not only seeks to bypass where we feel it inconvenient that purpose of our being, but to eradicate even the possibility of such individual coarse, to enslave all to an interpretation that can be more readily assimilated into the base vocabulary of ritual.

* * *

The answer is found in the truth of the “experiment.” By eliminating what is manifest and pointing to the absence of some intervening external to prevent it, we do not prove there exists no such external, only that our assumptions about what it is and how it works are false, and that it cannot be summoned up to contest your petty meddling by show of spite alone.

Millions of worlds. Keep that in mind at all times.

Even if you silence all that would know better, YOU will still know. You can assume you will forget, what you had to silence to believe your own delusions, your fearful assumptions, your desperate materialism and atheistic impotence, but then you make a lot of wrong assumptions don’t you.

Perhaps you should then turn the experiment upon yourselves. For, having no one left to blame for your pitiable failure to transcend this spiteful nihilism and essential unworthiness, your own self-loathing will feed upon your pride until even that is devoured....

I hope this isn't another one of those 'Thalmors are out to destroy Nirn' thread.

But... they are.

You're a very wise man/lady.

"Just a man." One solitary being, alone, but with all. I am always here.
As much as waves may crash upon my island, I still remain, willing to consider.
But not unwilling to fight back where it is necessary!
I will carry to a point those seeking understanding, but only so far as they are willing to do what is necessary.
Those who approach in earnest with compassion shall be rewarded.
Those who covet and assault with violence will be burned down under the weight of my dissociation
from their view of what I represent, lest their poison be conveyed to others that would follow me.
It is unfair that violation and invasion should separate us from each other.
But sometimes, being unable to distinguish between the unknowns of this universe
and of our own technology, it is easier, even necessary, to turn away.
That much I understand...


I am a 32 year old theosophist and writer, living alone in relative isolation, as much as I can afford. It is far from ideal. I am cut off from my people. I have no place of sanctuary. But I have not yet achieved financial independence, so I accept it is assumed I must deserve it.

It is a hard thing, knowing what I do, and being defenseless...

But I have learned to accept that what I require is unattainable by the aid of others, for all that is expected. A quiet place of privacy, the basic requirements of maintaining the health of this body, even when everything that is required to achieve it, only serves to further distance me from those essentials I was seeking, as a means to my own ends.

Who has time? Never enough time... Never at any other time, so why any different this time?

It is the lifestyle product, the manufactured subsistence and debt to more than nature, which is more and more destroyed. Vulnerable compliance not to what is natural and no longer sufficient to provide us what is necessary to survive an environment engineered by technology, but to human designs on our unique perspective.

So we do what we can, while we do what we must. Such is the way of this world.

Oh snap, I mentioned financial insecurity! Now people will avoid me like the plague, or unhappy people!

Seriously, next post, if I make one, will be back to lore. I swear!

The difference between mytho-babble and this thread is that in the former case, TES-lore-enthusiasts use a lot of terminology that is specific, however made-up and confusing. Here, the writer is using a lot of real words, but they're too general, not really saying a whole lot about TES lore.
