Yea I defintely think some self reflection is in order. I did read the entire series. I waited till I had all of them before I could completely submerge myself, uninterrupted. Alan, yourself and the entire creative team did a wonderful job and it really is something I hold very dear to me now, something and personal im not quite sure I could or would I feel comfortable in describing completely through a comment section. All in all, it really did humble me on how very much reality is fouded upon ideas and the imagination and the mystery and beauty in “something from nothing.” Thank you again for that.

hey there austin
good luck in all your artistic endeavors. i suggest that you take a moment of quiet time for an hour or so to reflect on your thoughts. doing this exercise may help you come to some conclusions in terms of your creative drive and re-enforce those artistic energies into positive thoughts on the subject for yourself. glad you were to find some merit in promethea. did you read the entire series? or just the first 3 volumes? the final 2 volumes can really expand thoughts on creativity and it’s relation to our daily lives in terms of how creativity helps shape our individual realities. it’s all told through the events of the story itself, in the way the story happens and the characters influence on the outcome.

I have to admit I haven’t read any Crowley but his idea, as I understand it, of “True Will” leaves me both frightened and at ease at the same time. I just turned 20 and I like to think im a somewhat decent artist with hopes of doing something in comics/storytelling and im getting to the point where im obliged (fucking right) to settle on an occupation and I’m not sure if my intent is genuine or if I’m, as you say, “derailed.” self deception or artistic rut, its something i’ve been pondering as of late and its funny seeing it mentioned.

P.S. - Just finished Promethea (Im late!) after sitting on the first 3 volumes close to a year now and would like to say thanks for that lovely, whimsical experience. Easily one of my favorite books now.

i should also add that if one stays true to one’s self honestly that outside perceptions will inevitably be made irrelevant and be forced away.

hey there heather
i agree with that view as well. however it still seems to me that no matter how the perceivers view our own self it does not alter the way one perceives themselves and ultimately that self perception is what will most impact one’s own life in the long term. to be truly genuine and honest about one’s desires will shape one’s reality no matter what else intervene’s. intervention in one’s life is always temporary to the soul’s true desires that will always become manifest as long as we listen to who we really are inside. that is not to say that we don’t fool ourselves into false pretenses of who we are meant to be, or rather who we deeply desire to be. we can and do derail ourselves resulting in unhappiness. that unhappiness is a symptom of our true desires needing to find release into the physical reality of our daily lives when one has seduced themselves into falsehoods of their true personality. i hope that makes sense.

Re: Manifestation

Well put. Although I must say I also believe the way a person is perceived is also based on what the perceiver wishes to see, sometimes ignoring the pieces of a person that they do not understand or do not want to accept.
