Follow up with experiences and stories to share, visualization has improved quite a lot. Colors become vivid to visualize as well. If I think of any color I can really just *see* it in my mind.
Some "one" is really on the moon, hallucination or reality?
A couple months ago, had some interesting visions. Went to bed tired, as my brain quickly drops to the theta states, until eventually reaching the sleep state, I start having random visions of places. I see this area of tall grass and when I focus on it I see this yellow striped snake slithering around, then I see various insects. I finally become one with the moment and intrigued with all that I'm seeing, I figure this would be a great opportunity to test to what extent I have control over what can appear in my head, so I focus on the moon.
After awhile, I start seeing this rocky white landscape, but not really fixated on one place, like skimming over it. It's not actually rocky, I saw somewhat white smooth stones among them and reminded me of a bunch of stones at the river. Just a big debris field of them. Afterwards, everything becomes black and I see this person, muscular, with glowing purple eyes. His skin is like a hue of grey and blue, but you could make out he was Aryan.
I don't know the name of what it's called, but they were wearing this cap that you wear with space suits, similar to a diving suit. Like the thing that buzz lightyear wears but it was white/grey. Which gives the impression that it's someone "inside base" and not fully suited up. Anyway, they were looking at me with a very stern/cautious look. I could neither feel if they were aligned to the gods or not, and the look was anything but happy. Kind of gave me a shock that put me out of a trance and vision.
There was a book I read afterwards detailing the anomalies of the moon, the author suggested certain craters on the other side of the moon are in fact the results of possible mining being done by other intelligent beings residing there. The rocky debris field could most definitely have been what was described. I had my mind intrigued on this for a long time with a video I watched a long time ago.
I've had many more instances of things like this, but I would just let it happen and see what it was I was seeing. But this was the first time I tried to have some control over what can appear. It's kind of like turning the wheel of a sea ship in rough waters, it either goes or doesn't, unpredictably as well.
Goddess Bastet
I described my vision of Bastet here
https://ancient-forums.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=86801
Very beautiful, eastern woman. Didn't have cat ears or features. Had this vision after requesting for her help in my mind while looking for a lost cat. The vision appeared after a couple days while I was going to bed. I can probably assume by now the gods know it's the best time to initiate visions of certain people while they're in lower states of consciousness, most commonly when they're sleeping.
Anyway, I wish I could have initiated it better. But basically I found myself looking at the side of an Egyptian woman, looking at me with a puzzled look, like someone just appeared in your temple and you're figuring out who is this guy kind of thing. So take it from me, initiate a proper ritual and state your convictions/requests appropriately.
I eventually did get what I was seeking for, not exactly but similar. I found myself absolutely adoring cats afterwards and have been what I needed in my life all along.
Lord Ra
After the vision with Bastet, I put my mind towards seeing lord Ra. As I knew Bastet was her daughter and wanted to take the opportunity to see him. Being into Yugioh as a kid got me heavily interested in egyptian culture.
Anyway, I saw an Egyptian man with a postiche, headdress and black eyelines. The vision was also to his side, like Bastet. But he slowly turned his head with a slightly intrigued look, but it was the impression of "What do you want?", or "who is this guy and what does he want?". Afterwards, he rolled his eyes and looked away and then everything was blackness. I could tell that he was busy with other matters, or simply didn't have time.
I then realized that it's probably not a good idea to invoke the gods without valid reason or proper initiation. However, when I saw Lord Ra I was a little bit excited, like you're seeing the ancient past come to life before you! That it's still alive and well.
Lady Astarte
Follow up from previous post
https://ancient-forums.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=77423
I believe I'm also affiliated with Astarte, possibly from a previous life too. However, one time while trying to commune with Astarte, I was invoking her name by "Astarte, my lady", then a voice came to me saying "You will address me as Lady Astarte".
So do be careful how you word your title with some of the gods. :?
A few weeks after, as I was invoking Lady Astarte for her energy, I had a very short vision of what appeared to be a *BIG* Nordic woman on a throne with crossed legs and her face resting on her palm. Her face kind of expressionless, but I saw her with her sky blue eyes looking down at me and you could feel she was looking through your soul and examining it, but also the impression of meeting someone for the first time or something like that. She then tucked in her lips and could probably tell she knew that I've being going through some things.
Mainly, I was more interested in what she appeared as I was in a conflict of agreement over what Astarte really looked like or whether Ishtar or Astarte were the same deity. Actually, before or in the early stages of finding JoS, Ishtar was actually the first demon I invoked, although not really intentionally. But I had this vision of an Eastern looking woman with long hair and had assumed it was Astarte/Ishtar but then came to realize it was a deity affiliated with Ishtar.
Anyway, the depictions of Inanna/Astarte are no exaggeration. The gods are HUGE. My body would barely reach to her thigh in comparison.
Also you really want to have rectified all past issues and whatnot. As HoodedCobra made a post sometime, they can see you inside out. You may not see them when invoking them but they're examining you. And you'd really want to be able to approach them as the person you truly are, otherwise you may be put in an odd situation...
Abraxas
A little bit worse than the other experiences in regards to initiating contact with the gods for the first time, but this was a vision I had a few years ago. Basically, at my workplace there's this conspiracy guy, a flat earth conspiracy guy... He was friends with my Boss and using his office for his own personal things and when he had free time he took me to an office to "talk" about things I "would not be ready to handle". All a bunch of blabla about flat earth but he was insistent that all the problems were of Abraxas or something.
I kept recalling on that time, how incredibly hilarious the things the guy said about flat earth, though he was right on some things like Mk Ultra, paperclip and other things like Aliens. Though putting Abraxas into the flat earth conspiracy was just a chuckling thought, and made further jokes about it in my own head.
Same experience with Bastet. As I go to sleep, my mind starts going to blackness and then the vision of a muscular man, with longish hair starts appearing. Wearing some kind of black armor/suit though, but very intimidating. His face was just a look of unhappy, confused, just very confrontational.
It's kind of like you play with the phone, joke around with the police, then suddenly you find them at your doorstep... However, some optimism from this is that the Gods are real and truly are *listening*, that if the world would embrace the truth we could literally live alongside them and the world would be a better place.
Because they actually do give a damn, not like some worthless imaginary friend sitting on the sky.
