NobodySpecial268,
Without causing you to deviate from your original intent of providing information on the fae, I would enjoy hearing as many details of your
interactions/insights/assessment of Lilith. It is fascinating to me that you stated she is “above” the fae realm and described your impression of
her with “sadness” as a primary feature. I typical assume any interactions on the internet that resonate with my own experiences are due to
projection (simply seeing what I want to see), chance, or intervention… with intervention of some other entity being incredibly unlikely. With that
being said, if human beings are becoming more connected via the internet thanks to globalization & technology, and even our wars are including the
cyber domain, perhaps intervention from the fae/spiritual realm on what were are seeing on our computer screens/phones is a potential reality to
consider…
A previously poster on your thread had asked how to see the fae, and what techniques you use to do this. My two cents on this matter would be the
following:
Assuming I’m still maintaining a solid grasp on my sanity, my assessment is the way to see these non-human entities is to view the world as best you
can as they do. Humans view seeing something as an encounter or meeting at a specific place at a specific time. A handshake when meeting a new
neighbor, seeing a tragic event that stays with you, etc. These non-human entities like the fae, or Lilith, view the world as immortal beings: through
the tapestry of events and history (recorded and unrecorded), both the major events and as equally the minor events that all make everything happen.
A single exchange of a few words at a single point in time would have essentially no significance at all. What interests them may be as simple as the
witnessing of a kiss between an awkward boy with a beautiful girl through a chance meeting, or witnessing the process a person goes through to make a
bold decision to throw themselves into some new endeavor or challenge only to be the right person and the right time for a specific event.
An example that I always thought was a helpful mental exercise was thinking about Alexander the Great, in all his glory marching into Afghanistan.
An average person may think “if only I could see Alexander the Great at the height of his power then I could understand him”. However, if you
were to see Alexander at the height of his conquest then you would be no closer to understanding him then you are now in 2021. To truly understand,
you would have to be there to know his friends, his mentors, the people he loved, and his teachers. His interactions with all of them, no matter how
small or casual. You would have to know the why of the unseen forces that motivated a single nameless soldier to make the right decision at the right
time at a pivotal moment that turned the tide of a key battle, allowing Alexander to maintain his ambitions for conquest. You may have to go back
even further, to when Alexander the Great was just a young man looking towards the stars in the East feeling a call or a whisper, or maybe just a
feeling of there was something specific he needed to do with his life. I imagine the average fae would have little interest in shaking Alexander the
Great’s hand when he was on the march in to Afghanistan, but would have a great deal of interest in the tapestry of tiny, pivotal moments throughout
his life and throughout the lives of his friends/lovers/followers, and they would be just as interested in seeing the impacts such events would play
on events and on individual people for the thousands of years that follow. Not to say the fae only care about important, larger than life figures, on
the contrary, they probably care more about figures who are simply living life and by doing so shape the world around them. Such beings will probably
never walk up to you in the grocery store and shake your hand, but you may see fingerprints of their presence a lot more often then you may think.
Hell, they might even answer back if it’s the right place, at the right time, and in doing so they may help you do whatever it is you need to do.
This assessment is probably biased and flawed, so take it with a grain of salt.
As for Lilith, I’ll share my potentially biased and incomplete assessment. Lilith is above both the fae realm and our reality, watching all of it.
She’s an entity burdened by sadness, but not from a single event of pain, but due to repetitive losses probably too many to count. She’s
connected to our world, but she will never apart of it, though she may visit to observe (for minutes or for a human lifetime). She can nudge things
here and there, tweaking minor, what seems like insignificant events, but end up being critical in the big picture of a plan beyond comprehension.
She’s definitely not to be #ed with, but she is not without her own specific concerns/loves on this earth. I think in many ways, understanding her
could help better understand the fae as well. These immortal beings have their own specific duty or function, which is a burden as well as an
empowering purpose. Anyone familiar with the “burden of command” may be able to relate in a way. With all that being said, please take all this
biased information with a grain of salt. I would be happy to hear any correction if these thoughts deviate from your own experiences (or common
sense).
