The Reality of Shifting, The Multiverse, and Becoming Our Own God

In this blog I’ll be talking about the multiverse, being our own god, along with shifting as a whole.

Shifting, the practice of moving one’s consciousness into a desired reality (DR), is often dismissed as fantasy or an elaborate visualization technique. However, for shifters who practice and believe in it, shifting is more than just a mental exercise; it is a way to access real, parallel universes within the multiverse. This ability ties deeply to the theory of the multiverse, the belief in infinite realities, and the inherent power we hold as individuals to simply shift to the life we desire. By exploring how shifting is real, its connection to the multiverse, and our role as explorers and travelers of these realities, we’ll see that shifting can transform how we view ourselves and existence itself.

The Multiverse: Infinite Realities and Infinite Possibilities

At the heart of shifting is the idea of the multiverse, a theory in quantum physics and metaphysics that suggests infinite parallel universes exist simultaneously. In these universes, every possible outcome of every decision you’ve ever made—and those you haven’t—plays out. For example, there could be a universe where you are a world-renowned artist, another where you live in a magical realm, and countless others where your life unfolds in ways entirely different from your current reality.

Shifting is based on the belief that these universes are not just theoretical but tangible, existing on planes of reality that we can consciously access. Practitioners of shifting argue that the mind is the key to traversing these realities. By aligning their energy and focus, individuals can “travel” to any universe they desire. This concept challenges the conventional understanding of reality as static and instead proposes that reality is fluid, shaped by our consciousness and perception.

In the multiverse, every reality exists independently, and we are not creating these worlds—rather, we are simply shifting our awareness and consciousness to one of them. These realities have already been formed and are already real. When we shift, we are not imagining something new; we are moving from one universe to another, a journey across dimensions that already exist.

The Reality of Shifting

For many, the most compelling aspect of shifting is its assertion that these alternate realities are not simply imaginative constructs but fully real. When someone shifts, they are not creating a temporary illusion or dreaming; they are stepping into a world that exists independently of their current reality. People who have successfully shifted often describe their experiences as vivid, consistent, and indistinguishable from their waking life. They interact with people, objects, and environments in their DR as if they were physically present.

This challenges traditional notions of consciousness as being bound by the physical body. Instead, it supports the idea that consciousness is a separate, powerful force capable of transcending time, space, and dimension. If the multiverse exists, and consciousness can shift between these universes, then reality is far more expansive and malleable than we’ve been led to believe.

When you shift, you are not imagining or creating a universe—you are traveling to one that is already there, existing independently. It is a universe that you can explore, live in, and interact with, just like the one you are in now. This makes shifting not just a mental journey, but a real journey across dimensions.

Becoming Our Own God

One of the most empowering aspects of shifting is its connection to self-realization and the idea of becoming your own god. Shifting reveals that we are not passive participants in a predetermined reality but active travelers with the power to choose where we want to go. In this sense, each of us is a god of our own existence, capable of moving between infinite realities at will.

When you shift, you are not bound by the limitations of your current reality. You can step into a universe where everything you’ve ever desired is already a part of your life: wealth, love, adventure, or even the chance to live in a fictional world you adore. This ability to access any reality, any version of yourself, emphasizes the limitless potential within each of us. You are not creating a new world—you’re traveling to one that already exists, where your dreams and desires are already part of the fabric of that universe.

This idea ties into the law of attraction, which suggests that our thoughts and beliefs create our reality. Shifting goes beyond that; it suggests that not only can we manifest changes in our current reality, but we can travel to a universe where everything we desire has already come to fruition. It’s about moving between realities to find the one that aligns with the life we seek, rather than having to create that life from scratch.

By acknowledging our ability to shift between universes, we realize that we are powerful beings capable of experiencing all that we desire. The notion of being our own god takes on a new meaning—we are not the creators of the universes, but we have the power to choose where we go, to move between these infinite realities and live the life that resonates most with us.

Having Everything You Desire Through Shifting

Shifting also reinforces the idea that everything you desire already exists. In the multiverse, there is a reality where every version of your dream life is playing out. If you desire wealth, there is a universe where you are living in abundance. If you long for adventure, there is a reality where you are traveling the stars. Shifting allows you to access these possibilities and experience them firsthand.

This realization brings a sense of freedom and empowerment. You are not limited by the constraints of your current reality; instead, you have the power to step into any life you choose. Shifting teaches that the barriers we perceive—whether they are physical, emotional, or societal—are constructs of the mind. By dissolving these limitations, we open ourselves to infinite possibilities.

The beauty of shifting lies in the simplicity of accessing these alternate lives. You are not required to create a new version of yourself from scratch—you are simply moving your consciousness to a place where the version of you that already exists can be explored and experienced. Whatever you desire is already part of the multiverse, waiting for you to step into it. There is no need to force the change; simply shift to the reality where it is already real.

The Deeper Implications of Shifting

The practice of shifting and its connection to the multiverse has profound implications for how we view reality, consciousness, and our role in the universe. It challenges the belief that we are bound by linear time, fixed dimensions, or the limitations of our physical bodies. Instead, it reveals that we are infinite beings capable of exploring and experiencing realities beyond imagination.

Shifting also invites us to rethink our relationship with desire. Instead of seeing desires as unattainable or external, it suggests that they are already ours, waiting for us to claim them. This shift in perspective—from lack to abundance, from limitation to possibility—can transform not only our understanding of reality but also how we live our lives.

Conclusion

Shifting is far more than a trend or a fringe practice; it is a gateway to understanding the multiverse and our role as travelers within it. By recognizing that alternate realities are real, that we hold the power to access them, and that we are the ones choosing where to go, we unlock the potential to live without limits. Shifting reminds us that everything we desire is already within reach and that the boundaries of reality are only as rigid as we believe them to be. In embracing this practice, we step into a new paradigm of existence—one where infinite possibilities are not just imagined but fully lived. Through shifting, we discover the power to go to the universe where our dreams are already a reality.

Success Stories - Case Studies of People Who Achieved Their Goals Through Manifestation

Manifestation allows people to transform their intentions into reality. But how does this practice work in real life? Let's explore success stories of some who attribute their achievements to the practice of manifestation. Through these case studies, we will see how mindsets, beliefs, and actions aligned to produce tangible results in their lives.

1. Jim Carrey: Visualized Success in Hollywood

Jim Carrey, the famous actor and comedian, is one of the most well-known stories of manifestation. Early in his career, he wrote himself a fake check for 10 million dollars, dated five years in the future, as payment for his services as an actor. He carried the check with him, consistently visualizing his success. Exactly five years later, Carrey received a 10 million dollar check for his role in the film "Dumb and Dumber." Carrey attributes part of his success to the practice of visualizing his future and firmly believing in his potential.

2. Oprah Winfrey: Manifested the Life of Her Dreams

Oprah Winfrey, one of the most influential women in the world, is another advocate of manifestation. From a young age, Oprah used visualization and positive affirmations to overcome the hardships of her childhood and build the life she wanted. She always believed that her success was, in part, a result of her ability to manifest her desires. In various interviews, Oprah has shared that she always visualized her success and believed in it even before it happened.

3. Arnold Schwarzenegger: Manifested Greatness in Multiple Careers

Arnold Schwarzenegger used manifestation to achieve goals at different stages of his life. As a bodybuilder, Schwarzenegger consistently visualized the physique he wanted to achieve, which helped him win titles like Mr. Olympia. Later, he applied the same principles when entering the film industry, visualizing himself as a Hollywood star, even when it seemed impossible due to his strong accent and lack of experience. Eventually, he became one of the biggest movie stars. Schwarzenegger also used manifestation when he decided to enter politics, visualizing himself as the Governor of California, a goal he also achieved.

4. Conor McGregor: Manifested a Legendary UFC Career

Conor McGregor, one of the most well-known MMA fighters in the world, is a strong advocate of manifestation. From the beginning of his career, McGregor spoke openly about how he visualized his victories before each fight. He not only visualized the outcome but also the specific details, such as the exact moment he would win and the emotions he would feel. This practice helped him build confidence and focus, contributing to his success in the UFC. McGregor became the first fighter to hold two simultaneous titles in different weight classes, and he firmly believes that manifestation played a crucial role in his journey.

5. Lady Gaga: Manifested Fame and Success in Music

Before becoming a global star, Lady Gaga used manifestation to visualize her successful career. She would tell herself and others that she would be famous, even before she had a major opportunity. Lady Gaga embodied this mindset in everything she did, from her performances in small clubs to her early recordings. In interviews, she has shared that she always saw herself as a star and acted according to that vision, which helped her attract the right opportunities and build a remarkable career in music and film.

6. Denzel Washington: Manifested Purpose and Success in Acting

Denzel Washington is another example of someone who used manifestation to achieve success. In his youth, Washington received a prophecy from a woman at church, who said he would travel the world and speak to millions of people. He kept this message close to his heart and used it as motivation throughout his career. Denzel not only visualized success but also dedicated himself to developing his acting skills. Today, he is one of Hollywood's most respected actors and attributes part of his success to his unwavering belief in his purpose and the power of manifestation.

7. Steve Harvey: Manifested a Successful Career in Entertainment

Steve Harvey, comedian and television host, is a strong advocate of manifestation. He grew up in humble circumstances but always dreamed of becoming a big name in entertainment. In his book and in speeches, Harvey shares how he used manifestation to overcome challenges and achieve success. He wrote his goals on paper and visualized them every day, firmly believing that they would become a reality. Today, Steve Harvey is one of the most well-known TV hosts in America, with a career that includes radio shows, television, and best-selling books. He believes that the power of faith and manifestation played a crucial role in his journey.

8. Jim Carrey (Part 2): Manifested Specific Movie Roles

In addition to the famous 10 million dollar check, Jim Carrey also used manifestation to land specific movie roles. Before being cast in films like "The Mask" and "Ace Ventura," he would drive to Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles and visualize film directors calling him for these roles. He imagined what it would be like to be in these films and the impact they would have on his career. This practice helped him maintain confidence and motivation while working to achieve his goals. Eventually, Carrey was cast in these roles, which propelled him to fame.

9. Will Smith: Manifested Success and Happiness

Will Smith, actor and musician, deeply believes in the power of manifestation. From a young age, he visualized success and worked hard to achieve it. In various interviews, Smith has talked about how he believes our thoughts and words have the power to shape our reality. He visualized his success as an actor, even when he was only known as a rapper. His confidence and determination led him to become one of Hollywood's highest-paid and most recognized actors. Smith attributes part of his success to his positive mindset and the practice of manifesting his desires.

10. Beyoncé: Manifested Perfection in Her Performances

Beyoncé is known for her perfectionism and dedication in her performances, and she believes in the power of manifestation to achieve excellence. From the start of her career, she visualized the type of artist she wanted to be and worked hard to manifest that vision. Beyoncé plans every detail of her performances with the belief that visualization and mental preparation are as important as physical rehearsal. Her meticulous approach and belief in the power of manifestation have helped her become one of the most iconic and influential artists in the world.

These stories show that the practice of manifestation has been used by a variety of people in different fields to achieve their dreams and goals. Why not you?

The Re-traumatization of Amane Momose

Today, I'll be discussing Amane Momose's case with @apatchworkstar. (Hi, it's Star! I hope you enjoy this post; or at the very least, find it informative!)

Specifically we'll be discussing the ties it has to trauma and retraumatization. This is a two-part post that covers the entirety of Amane's case. Part two will be added when it is completed.

Over the course of these posts, I set out to prove that Amane Momose’s previous verdict has caused long-term mental distress, anguish, and mixed with the actions of other prisoners has served to retraumatize her. Then highlight how due to these upsetting events and environmental triggers Amane Momose has fallen back on the teachings of her mother for a sense of security, safety, and allusion of control.

Leading to the tangible regression we see throughout Purge March. Along the way we'll be highlighting how the audience's previous choices were responsible for eliciting this trauma response and the danger each prisoner within Milgram poses to others there including Amane Momose herself.

1. Re-traumatization

Firstly, let’s talk about retraumatization,

What is it?

“Retraumatization is reliving stress reactions experienced as a result of a traumatic event when faced with a new, similar incident. However, as the result of the passing of time many people do not realize the stress they are experiencing is related to an earlier trauma in their lives. A current experience is subconsciously associated with the original trauma, reawakening memories and reactions, which can be distressing. This type of reaction is common and survivors should realize there are steps that can be taken to manage or relieve symptoms.”

“Survivors typically cope with retraumatization by employing avoidant coping strategies originally developed during childhood to cope with the original abuse. The experience of retraumatization appears to lower survivors’ threshold for future retraumatization by confirming survivors’ view of healthcare as a threatening experience. Without intervention, retraumatization can result in unhealthy outcomes due to the negative effects of stress on survivors’ mental and physical health along with interruptions in healthcare caused by avoidant coping.” - “A number of reports suggest that mental health patients may experience exacerbation of post-traumatic symptoms due to encounters in the mental health system, such as violence by other clients or forcible restraint by male attendants (Center for Mental Health Services & Human Resource Association of the Northeast, 1995; Geanellos, 2003; Jennings & Ralph, 1997; Smith, 1995). A Massachusetts task force investigating the effect of restraints on abused populations reported that research indicates at least half of all women treated in psychiatric settings have a history of physical or sexual abuse. The task force found that the use of restraints on people who have been previously abused often results in the reactivation of trauma symptoms and can cause setbacks in treatment (Carmen et al., 1996). The task force developed a specific set of guidelines for assessing clients’ trauma history and recommended altering restraint and seclusion policies to reduce risk of retraumatization.”

X- (TW: For mentions of childhood SA. Because it's a study on the retraumatization process in survivors of that.)

(Star, here! A clear example of Amane employing one such avoidant coping mechanism is shown through this image.

The umbrella is represented as both her shield and her weapon. A perfect visualization of how Amane views her faith. Not only as a shield from persecutions or a justification of her behaviors as we see in her first voice drama,

"The standards that judge my sins are somewhere else – in my heart, my blood, my entire body, they are firmly rooted in all those places!" And within those standards, your murder was not a sin? "Exactly!" "I see." "Ah, I am looking forward to it! Seeing whether your judgement will align with that of these higher standards! If that is the case, maybe Milgram would be the right world for us to live in, rather than the outside world! Milgram relies on your judgement, isn’t that right? In that case, you could become the mediator for a far more righteous world!!" And if my judgement is not in your favor, what will you do? "I will refuse your judgement."

This shows that Amane falls back on the teachings of her cult to regain a sense of autonomy during stressful or traumatic situations. Possibly a coping mechanism she developed during her time under her family's care. It was a mentality that likely shielded her from some of the rougher emotional impact that kind of abuse can have on someone simultaneously giving her a sense of control and possibly hope that things may improve. It did not remain just a shield though.

Over time, this became an offensive weapon to fight back against injustice or the incorrectness in the world that was befalling her. Something displayed by the umbrella being represented as a scepter within her mental space.

All of this comes together to display how Amane uses her religious teachings as a coping mechanism to hold onto some form of autonomy and as something to use to fight against perceived threats.

This is not only displayed through these visuals but these lines from her song as well,

Magic

``Even I can say "I'm sorry". Even I have hope. I swear! I'm going to be a good girl now! That's it!" - "Not meaning to brag, but I’m pretty happy; I’ve made up my mind so they don’t make that face at me again. But it’s not scary at all, because it’s love! I can really think it’s great. See, isn’t it a great thing?"- "I won’t say “I’ve had enough”; Will you laugh with me and forgive me?"

Purge March

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! It’s the beginning of a most wonderful day! However, there are blasphemers and silent bystanders, who would have it otherwise. We must not give into them; they are the ones that should be judged! With pure, unsullied body and soul, let us preach all that is true and right." - "I disavow you, eyes corrupted must be crushed."

Amane uses her faith how one actively chooses to use an umbrella as a shield against rain. Relying on it to help see her way through bad weather. Using it as support during difficult or distressing times.

Rain is something that can be thought of by some as "good" in small doses, but eventually you need to get out something to stop yourself from getting drenched and falling ill.

In Purge March, rain is heavily associated with the abuse that Amane faced growing up in her household. It is also consistently present within her mindscape; specifically, as confetti when she isn't being directly punished. This shows that Amane is aware of her abuse's omnipresence and is hypervigilant to what may trigger a flare up in punishment.

The fact that it is usually confetti alludes to her softening what it is until it gets so bad, she can't ignore it anymore. Something that we briefly see her attempt to do before the confetti turns colorful and her eyes change,

Before breaking into colorful confetti, we see Amane look up to the sky through her umbrella as it begins to rain. As though searching for a reason, a silver lining or any justification of what has just occurred. A way that she can think of this as a great thing before realizing she can't. Not just because it simply isn't a great thing, but because someone (more than likely her mother) has broken a promise to her somehow (more than likely by killing the cat because it's very common for abusive parents to go of if you just do one thing or take this punishment nothing else will happen I'll never bring it up again actually just to not do that.). Something illustrated through these lyrics in Purge March,

"I don’t need it any more, if you’re going to break your vow."

The color in the confetti illustrates the change from being the punished to the punisher. As they march forward from beneath that endless white.)

Things that may cause retraumatization and the signs of it.

Negative thoughts. Feeling on edge very anxious tense or easily startled. Intense feelings of guilt, anger, fear, anxiety, horror, sadness, shame, or despair.

22/04/19 (Futa’s Birthday)

Futa: Ahh...... I'm not wrong...... I wasn't doing anything wrong...... Shut up, why are you going on and on about something so minor...... It has nothing to do with you...... Aaahhh......

Amane: Oh, were you talking to yourself, Futa-san? Or maybe there’s something there you’re able to see?

Futa: ……! O-oh, it’s just you. It’s nothing. ……but well, on that note. Hey- Don’t you have anything happening too? Since being in here, just suddenly getting anxious. Feeling as though loads of people are all there condemning you, telling you- You were wrong.

Amane: ……I’m fine. I don’t know what you’ve done or what it is you’re worried about- But I think if there’s something you believe in, you should stay true to it. It’s not something that should waver just because other people said something. I personally don’t plan on changing my own beliefs even if I’m told I’m wrong either…… …today is your birthday, correct? I’ll pray for God to keep you under his care.

"It’s so hot, so hard to breath, there’s no solace for my heart."

"Or maybe there's something there you're able to see?"

Backdraft

"Don’t get cocky, you in that cypher." - "The fight’s up here! Come up to the ring and face me!"- "You and you, throwing around rules for fun, hoisting up morality and feeling good. Should I succumb, make your wish come true? Full of yourselves, are you?"

Dissociation. Experiencing strong reactions to triggers. Social withdrawal and isolation. Avoidance of people, places, or situations related to the traumatic event.

22/10/24 (Shidou’s Birthday)

Amane: ……Kirisaki Shidou. How long do you plan on continuing this foolish behaviour?

Shidou: I wonder what you might be referring to there. I’m just doing what I need to do. If anything, I’d be happy if you would lend me a hand.

Amane: I warned you. I can no longer turn a blind eye to this wickedness taking place right in front of us. You’re bringing ruin unto yourself. Do you understand?

Shidou: No, I don’t understand. It’s my job as an adult to teach you that throwing a temper tantrum isn’t going to make everything go your way. If it’s a test of endurance you want, I’m happy to oblige, Amane.

"No, I don't understand."- "And furthermore- This may be outside of profession, but her mental health is deteriorating as well."

It is outside of his profession and that is perfectly illustrated by the fact that he only highlights Mahiru's deteriorating mental health and says nothing about the others.

23/01/17 (Mahiru’s Birthday)

Amane: Happy birthday. Mahiru-san. How is your body feeling?

Mahiru: ……ah, Amane-chan. Thank you. Yeah, I’m fine. Now I can move around if I use a wheelchair…… It’s all thanks to Shidou-san looking after me……

Amane: I’ll give you one warning. The two of you are dabbling in something tabooed. If you continue to go against the way of nature like this, you’ll just bring an early death upon yourself. Think hard about this.

Mahiru: Amane-chan……? Are you really Amane-chan……?

"You’ll just bring an early death upon yourself."

Q.10 Which of the other prisoners do you get along with?

Kazui: Shidou-kun, Mikoto and me all smoke together, so I think we get along well.

Amane: If I had to pick someone, then Yuno-san and Mahiru-san.

Amane's Second Voice Drama

Amane. Don’t think you’ll be able to lead the conversation with that total change in attitude. Is it the result of the judgment that you’ve ended up like this?

"“Like this”?"

The dazed look in your eyes. The atmosphere around you. The way you speak. In comparison to the first trial, it’s like you’re a different person.

"Hm."

Everyone who was unforgiven told me they heard voices judging their sins. They’re experiencing a lot of emotional stress as a result. Were your changes influenced by that as well?

"Hah? Those stupid voices, huh? Yeah. I have heard them as well. However, such things do not pose a major problem."

What?

"We have firm teachings. We have a clear and noble faith. No matter what kinds of things other people might say, these things cannot be shaken."

21/10/06 (Mikoto’s Birthday)

Mikoto: ……ah, Futa? What’s up? Did you come to celebrate my birthday?

Futa: Hah!? Like I care about your birthday. ……what’s up with you, though, you’re usually a lot more excited. I thought you were the sort of idiot who’d make a big deal over your birthday.

Mikoto: Yeah, usually that’d be the case. ……I think I must be getting tired. It’s like I’m anxious over something but I can’t really explain what it is…… Like, the feeling that I’ve been totally wrong about something. Haha, but it’s not like talking to you about it is gonna do anything.

Futa: Yeah, yeah, just like you say. Talking to me about it isn’t gonna help. ……but, it’s not like I don’t get what you’re saying. Or rather, I understand exactly what you mean. And if it’s the same thing as I’ve been feeling, then it will just get stronger as time goes on…..probably.

22/10/06 (Mikoto’s Birthday)

Haruka: Mikoto-san. Um, are you ok……?

Mikoto: Ah, Haru-kun. It’s been a while since we last talked, huh. Yeah, I’m fine. Are you doing ok……?

Haruka: Ah, I’m fine. I’ve been enjoying myself, a lot. Um, I’m sorry, for avoiding you. I was a bit scared. Of you, honestly……

Mikoto: Ahhh, yeah. I’ve been lashing out whenever I go to sleep, right? ……it’s fine. Even I think you’re right to be scared. You know, I kinda just hate that I don’t even know what’s going on myself…… haha. Ah, but despite all that you still came and talked to me because it’s my birthday, right? Thank you, you’ve grown into a good man.

Q.07 Are there any prisoners you get along with?

Shidou: Kayano-kun has become like that, and I can’t spend my time smoking at the moment, so the smoking trio has disbanded, which is a bit lonely.

Mahiru: I talk to Shidou-san a lot now, since he’s looking at my injuries. Also, Yuno-chan.

"I should have saved you, but why are you crying? Rely on me, praise with your song, I am your savior."

Practice your spiritual beliefs or reach out to a Faith Leader for support,

"Hm. Is that so? Are the prisoners who weren’t forgiven feeling lost right now? Maybe they need our faith as well."

23/04/19 (Futa’s Birthday)

Futa: ……! Oi, is it just you. Don’t scare me like that. You shouldn’t just stand there saying nothing. Hah, what? Did you just come to laugh at me for being weak? Dumb brat.

Amane: No. I just came to observe. To see what people are thinking. To see who is being corrupted. What about you, Kajiyama Futa?

Futa: I understand even less of what you're saying than I did before. Brat, you're on the side who weren't forgiven too, right? ......So, why can you still stand? Don't- you can hear it too? The voices blaming us. ......I don't have the energy to do anything like this.

Amane: It goes without saying. Because there’s something far more important than the voices of people we can’t even see. People are able to get back up again. As long as there’s something to guide them. Kajiyama Futa, by coincidence today happens to be your birthday, correct? Don’t you think it’s a good opportunity to be reborn? If, right now, you could shake off those around you trying to drag you down to depravity, and could change––

23/06/27 (Amane’s Birthday)

Amane: What is it…… Kashiki Yuno. Don’t sit so close to me. Go away.

Yuno: Sorry for barging in when you’re getting into your worldview thing. But Mahiru-san’s finally managed to get to sleep. Humour me with some small talk while I take a break. By the way, Amane. Have you ever wished you were never born? I’ve thankfully lived a pretty fun life so far, so haven’t really. But you seem to be struggling with something. So I kinda wondered if you thought like that.

Amane: ……I don’t think that. Being born into this world is the first miracle any person experiences and is something to celebrate. Even if after birth I was put through trial after trial, the value of that will never disappear.

Yuno: Hmm. Ok. ……happy birthday, then. It’s good that you were brought into the world, I guess.

23/07/05 (Mu’s Birthday)

Futa: Oi, you. Is he ok? He’s not even left his room lately.

Mu: You mean Haruka-kun? Hmm. Yeah, probably. I’ve been bringing all his meals to him so he should be fine. Isn’t that great of me?

Futa: Hah? Who the hell says that sort of thing about themself. ……ah, no, well, right now I understand a bit. When you’re feeling down, it’s nice to have someone who relies on you and accepts you. The rest of us can’t really understand you from where we’re standing. But well, if you’re Haruka’s “salvation” then I guess it really is great.

Mu: Salvation……? I don’t know what you mean. Futa-kun, you don’t sound like yourself. Did you hit your head or something? Oh, wait, you actually did, didn’t you. Ahaha. Ah, putting that aside though, did you know it’s my birthday today?

"Then I guess it really is great."

Magic

"I can actually think of it as a good thing, see isn’t it a great thing?"- "I can really think it’s great. See isn’t it a great thing?"

Backdraft

"Is it all ok if I offer penance? No helping it, out of the question."

"Pressure, pressure! Falling head down- Pressure, pressure! Whatever you do, you’re still last in line- Pressure, pressure! Applause receding far away- Me, the result of blame-shifting, no, can’t find that funny- With just one mistake and I’m out of chances Bless me, please, with one more chance- It’s not even my fault, not even slightly."

"Pick up your mouth-piece Grind your teeth and strike a pose Just like O2, burn yourselves into oblivion."

"Oblivion and the River Lethe Oblivion asks forgetfulness of us in both its meaning and etymology. The word’s Latin source, oblīvīscī, means “to forget; to put out of mind,” and since its 14th century adoption into English, oblivion has hewed close to meanings having to do with forgetting. The word has also long had an association with the River Lethe, which according to Greek myth flowed through the Underworld and caused anyone who drank its water to forget their past; 17th century poet John Milton wrote about “Lethe the River of Oblivion” in Paradise Lost. The adjective oblivious (“lacking remembrance, memory, or mindful attention”) followed oblivion a century later, but not into oblivion—both words have proved obdurate against the erosive currents of time."

Synonyms: Forgetfulness, Nirvana, Obliviousness.

"Burn yourselves into oblivion- Burn, burn! Open this door and check if you want to I’ll deign to hear your last words if you want, a vanishing FIRE."

Eternal Oblivion- A philosophical, scientific, religious concept stating that's one consciousness ceases forever upon death. This concept is commonly tied to religious skepticism, secular humanism, nihilism, and atheism.

"'Tis ordained, thou shall follow thine destiny. 'Tis ordained, thou shall discard vulgarity. 'Tis ordained, thou shall deliver unto those thou believest in. 'Tis ordained, thou shall stay thine course, then perish."

Q.12 What is the meaning of life?

Kazui: Who knows. If you ever find out, let me know.

Amane: I think it’s something you first understand when you reach the end of your life and look back on it. I’m doing my best to live in a way that I won’t regret when that time comes.

"Being born into this world is the first miracle any person experiences and is something to celebrate. Even if after birth I was put through trial after trial, the value of that will never disappear."

@doctorbunny Also reminded me that Futa's second voice drama is literally called, "Baptism by Fire" as well. Yeah, trial two is shaping up to be the cult-gram prelude whether Amane is Innocent or not. So, have fun with that everybody. Oh, and it'd be super nice if people stop deluding themselves into believing the outcome of this trial is going to stop something that has already occurred/has been occurring thanks.

Now back to the topic at hand-

All of these are signs of retraumatization not just in Amane but two other prisoners as well. Yet, if that's not enough- What else shows us that Amane has been retraumatized?

Well, Purge March visualizes perfectly that these circumstances have retraumatized Amane. Especially if one were to take the visuals from Magic and her most recent mv and compare them. Something many people outside of myself have done.

People have pointed out that in Magic we see Amane riding on top of a cloud. However, the entire set that Amane is standing on is a Heaven on Earth of sorts where she takes center stage.

The white cloud-like structures around the rainbow stepped pedestal with the old symbol of the cult firmly behind it as Amane turns away from it at the start of the song.

Before the clouds cover up her face and fade us into this,

Amane bursting up from beneath the cloud, appearing to sit on top of it in confusion and shock. She holds this confused and shocked expression until all the others float around and then she's by herself again at which point she smiles.

It's only when they are shown not to visibly be around (it's implied they're still around just not directly near her) does she smile- After this the mascots circle beside her again. In a familiar way at this point- Well in a way I feel should be familiar considering how much Purga March has been viewed over the past few days-

The cloud displaying the title of Amane's first song resembling the symbol on the flag that we see in Purge March. The mascots circling the symbol with Amane around her song's title. A song and title that like with the other prisoners is something uniquely hers. So, I find it curious that instead of using the symbol associated with the cult the double clouds- Something again she displays prominently at the beginning she instead puts her song title on a singular cloud and has these mascots circling it.

Creating a vague visual illustration of the symbol on the flag they carry at the end. Something unique to them that she created all on her own.

The cycle of punishment displayed throughout the song also only begins after Amane and the mascots have fallen from on top of the clouds as well. Going under them. Purge March follows up on this by visually illustrating again that punishment is represented not only by being submerged in water but overshadowed or smothered by any sort of force. Be it the clouds or her mother's shadow or hand.

Something is always above Amane when she is getting punished.

"After you cry, repent, and kneel, it’s now your turn to say that hopeless “I’m sorry”." - "I'm sorry! Sorry! I'm sorry for breaking the rules..."

"Remember MY cries, MY repents, MY words of “I’m sorry” that I said to you?"

This is something that is further displayed through the imagery used to end off Purge March and the way it mirrors how Magic ends,

No longer is Amane beneath these clouds but in front of them once again as Magic started. Amane is now able to act on her own beliefs at her own discretion. It's even more telling that she goes from standing with Yuri and Riyone to by herself and pointing her wand at someone.

What we can tell from the use of clouds, and shadows over the course of Magic and Purge March- Is that when Amane is beneath them it is a sign of her not having control of the situation and being subject to the whims or beliefs of others. This is why we believe the fact that Amane remains beneath clouds throughout most of Purge March is indicative of her declining mental health and a sign that this experience has retraumatized her.

2. Reactive Abuse

Star here. I would also like to touch upon the concept of "reactive abuse" and how it may play a factor in both the prisoners and Milgram as a whole.

Reactive Abuse, is a term used to describe when a victim reacts in a volatile manner (that could be perceived as abusive to those uninvolved or uninformed about the situation) in response to their abuse. This term is not meant to be used in a way to blame the victim or shift any of the responsibility for the abuse onto them but describe in further depth the multitude of responses individuals can have while undergoing abuse.

How a victim responds to their abuse/abuser does not immediately turn them into an abuser themselves. The lack of knowledge around this phenomenon and the various ways people can respond to abuse has created a situation where the victim's response to the abuse can be viewed as abusive. Especially when the way the victim responds is viewed as socially unacceptable or abusive itself.

This makes it appear as though the actions of a victim trying to defend themselves are on the same level as an abuser harming their victim. Sometimes causing it to appear that there are two abusers in the relationship when there is only one. This is made even worse by the fact that sometimes abusive individuals count on their victim responding in this way or goad them into responding in that way to make themselves appear better or their behavior seem more justified in the eyes of outsiders.

A prime example of this would be intentionally acting in a way that the abusive party knows will elicit this sort of response from the victim- So the abuser can record the victim’s behaviour and claim that how the victim behaved was worse.

A side note, but it's a fair possibility that this happened to Mikoto, hence his hypervigilance regarding being filmed without knowledge.

20/05/25

Mikoto: ……I’ve really got caught up in some trouble, huh. What even is this place? It’s probably a TV reality show or something. ……but to think someone in this day and age would try to do a project that could land them in so much trouble. Uh…… Mahiru: Ah…… I’m Shina Mahiru! You can just call me Mahiru. And you are……? Mikoto: Kayano Mikoto. I’m fine with just Mikoto too. Ahh, I’m glad there’s someone here who’s easy to talk to…… It’s nice to meet you, Mappy. Mahiru: ………………Mappy???

20/05/31

Mu: Hey, Mikoto-kun, aren’t you scared of this place……? You can’t think of any reason you ended up here, right……? Mikoto: Ahh, yeah. Of course, it’s not like I’m not scared at all. But just between you and me…… I still haven’t dropped the thought that this could all just be a TV show. I mean, I really haven’t ever murdered anyone.……and if that is the case, we’re definitely being monitored. For like a prank setup or something. Wouldn’t it be super uncool and embarrassing to get angry or lash out and have it shown on prime time? Mu: Is that what you think……? A prank, huh…… I hope that’s all it is…… Mikoto: Ah! If that is the case, then you’ll probably be super popular since you’re so cute, Mucchan! There’s a lot of girls out there who make their big break coming off reality shows like that!

20/06/15

Mikoto: Hey, it’s kinda a bother having you be so angry and tense all the time. You should stop trying to get everyone to pay attention to you. You’re a uni student, right? You can’t act like that once you start working properly. Futa: Huh!? Shut up. Not like I care what you say. Even though we’re in this shitty situation, you’re just chatting away, it’s stupid. Aren’t you the one who’s acting out of place here?……also the fact you give everyone nicknames is just gross. Mikoto: *sigh* It’s more stupid to be taking this all so seriously. I mean, it’s definitely just a reality TV program. There’s no way a real prison exists that’s this lax. Also, I don’t give nicknames to everyone. I don’t give them to young kids like Amane, or to the hard-to-approach types like Shidou-san. I mean, I’m not giving you one, right? Futa: ……oi, which group are you trying to say I am?

First trial website voice line

“Ah, I got it! This must be some sort of reality show. There’s no way it’s broadcasted, so maybe an online program?”

John Doe

Your name and age? "Uh… Mikoto Kayano, 23. Wait, no! I've been wanting to talk to you this whole time, guard-kun!" What is it? Make it short. "Alright… when is this whole thing going to end?" Huh? "No, it's obvious, isn't it?! Suddenly being dragged to a place like this, being told all this weird stuff about killers and all that– is this some kind of comedy? A reality TV show? One of those monitoring things? I've been holding on to that thought this whole time, and that was also the reason I tried to get along with the others! Y'know – because that'll look better on a TV show, right?! But look, this is stretching out for way too long…! What's up with this?" ......You really still believe that? That MILGRAM is some kind of joke? "I do! Of course I do! I mean… I really don't remember. Even if you talk about sins or murderers– I don't know about any of that! I'm just a normal worker at a company…"

This is a concept shown very well in Purge March. The way Purge March ends is with Amane proclaiming that she’ll punish her abuser in the same way they abused her.

“Here and now, it’s my turn to tear you apart. So there is no second time, I’ll give back the judgment that you gave to me.”

You will see that is exactly what she did. She waterboards her abuser, likely tases them and then beats them- to death in this case. Though given the size of the bruise on Amane, it seems as though she just gave as good as she got.

One could argue that this is happening within Milgram too. Es intentionally pushes Amane, Fuuta and Mikoto to their mental limit within Milgram, provoking a (rightfully upset) reaction.

For Amane, in both Apostle and Death and Of Blessedness and Punishment, Es goads her into reacting in a volatile manner by repeatedly throwing her wish to not be treated like a child in her face, dismissive of her ideals and belief system at best, though mocking would be a better descriptor. When she does reach her limit and react, they make fun of her. The only exception to this is in Of Blessedness and Punishment, where Amane pushes Es’ sore spot. That being a fragmented identity. She then proceeds to mock them right back, asking them if they are alright before saying to get better by themselves as this is a trial from god.

With Fuuta, Es takes overt advantage of how quickly Fuuta is to react to others’ input and how he takes people at face value. This happens in both trials in different ways. In Braze You, it was Es making the active decision to tease Fuuta since he acted the most stereotypical to being put in this situation. In Baptism of Fire, they give Fuuta a small glimpse of hope about being voted innocent before turning around and saying that they’ll judge no matter how much their “comrades” cry. When Fuuta lashes out at this, saying that he'll kill Es if they don’t vote him innocent, they dismiss him. They state that if they truly are the same, then they’ll get whats coming to them at some point anyways.

As for Mikoto, in John Doe, Es repeatedly pushes on the idea that Mikoto killed someone but forgot. This is despite the fact that Mikoto is in clear distress about the concept. They also mimic how he speaks when doing so, using speech mannerisms such as “it’s only natural to think that, right?” and “That’s the only logical conclusion”. This pushes Mikoto to switch, his other personality doing his best to shut Es up and prevent more mental harm. This is the only reaction to throw Es off, but even then, they continue to egg on the other personality. This results in the other personality laying into Es harder until Kotoko intervenes.

Es also attempts this with Haruka, though to varying degrees of success. In The Writhing of the Weak, Es attempts to get a volatile reaction from Haruka, by acting as a stereotypical “bad cop”. They are instead blindsided by how subservient he comes across, and how easily he accepts any form of attention. It doesn’t matter if it’s framed in a negative or positive light, Haruka’s just happy to have someone look at him. In Metamorphosis of the Weak, however, Es manages to draw out a response by stating the fact that Haruka isn’t out of the woods yet. Haruka reacts in three different ways here.

One, stating that Es is weird and mean for taking back their acceptance after voting him innocent (likely due to Muu’s influence, as that’s a complaint that she’d have).

Two, stating that he can kill anything smaller than him (presumably a train of logic that lead to his murder).

Three, saying that Es wasn’t his mother and only Muu was, before threatening violence against Es if Muu wasn’t voted innocent. When they remind him that the prisoners can’t attack the guard, he switches tacks and says he’ll die if she isn’t voted innocent, before bragging that he can learn. When Es calls him a dumb ass for this, he replies that he was born one.

Es is also aided by the fact that they are within a position of power compared to the prisoners with their status as “warden”. It doesn’t seem to occur to Es that this nebulous position could be ripped away from them at any time by Jackalope.

Es is put in a position where the audience would want to sympathize with them, due to factors such as age, lack of memories and being pushed into a position of heavy judgements without prior preparation. There’s also the fact that they are a stand in for us. This means the audience are more likely to excuse or defend their behaviour. Adding all this together, if the prisoner reacts in a way that’s considered “unsuitable” the audience is predisposed to be on Es’ side. Saying things such as “the prisoners are being unreasonable” and that “if they were truly sorry, they wouldn’t be reacting like that”.

3. Why was Amane retraumatized by her verdict and Milgram?

So, with all that out of the way... We've explained a few things.

Firstly we've explained what retraumatization is and how it may be impacting multiple prisoners. Secondly, we explained the reasoning behind our belief that Amane has been retraumatized by her previous verdict. Then thirdly we explained reactive abuse and how that may play a factor in some of the prisoners' mannerisms.

However, we haven't touched on why exactly Amane was retraumatized by her verdict. She states that she doesn't really mind the voices because something like that can't shake her beliefs.

Plus, she even takes it a step further stating she's already been told these sorts of things before,

Amane Second Voice Drama

"Aren’t we the same? Me and Warden-san. You know, I’m aware that I’m out of the ordinary. That my environment was peculiar, and that everyone [else] is normal."

Amane…

"In fact, there have been people who said that to me. I’ve been told things like, “You’re being deceived.” “You can still make it right now.” “You’re crazy.”."

…

"You are treating me as a child after all. Because I’m a child, you believe that I must have been brainwashed. It’s not like that. I, too— children, too, understand everything! Please don’t just decide that people must be unhappy."

…

"I’m happy that I was born to my parents! It was a bit difficult, and it could feel restrictive sometimes, but I’m really happy that I could grow up on such beautiful teachings! I want to live this way!"

However, she states this in terms of her religious beliefs. Something she's only fallen back on after her retraumatization. The core request within Magic was never please say my cult is good but Amane asking if it was alright for her to act in her own self-interest,

"Dear wise one, Am I worthy? Is it ok to spoil myself?" - "Is it ok to be weak sometimes?"

So, what was denied by the audience was Amane's right to make decisions for herself, not the cult's doctrines. Making it no surprise in retrospect that she would fall back on these teachings to reinforce her worldview. Add onto that the punishment Milgram gave is literally one of the forms of abuse she underwent constantly hearing voices berating you-

Amane Trial 1 Voice Drama

I've kept you waiting, Amane.

"Yes, you did. You're late."

Alright, let us start the interrogation.

"I don't want to."

Hah?

"I won't acknowledge it."

What do you mean?

"It is your duty to apologize to me first."

Uh-huh...

"Nh...Do you understand?!"

...?

"It is vital to always be on time for things. When you do something wrong, you need to apologize. These are both my personal rules and the rules of society."

Are you done? I would like to start the interrogation.

"No, I am not done talking. I need to make sure you are aware of your mistake."

Sigh...

"Why are you making a face like that? Is there something you want to say?"

I'm not in the mood to play around with you... Listen, Amane.

"What is it?"

Don't get the wrong idea. You are an inmate, and I am the warden. That's our dynamic. I have no intention of letting you order me around.

"Hm... But if you're the warden, as you say you are- Shouldn't you take the prisoners' opinions into consideration?"

Don't make me laugh. I'm not your teacher at school; it isn't my goal to teach you things or guide you on the right path. Milgram's goal isn't to turn you back into decent human beings and get you back into normal society. What's needed here are firm honest judgements and decisions.

"Judgements and decisions..."

All that is needed is a decision on whether your crimes are forgivable or not. I don't have any responsibility beyond that. And I have no intention of letting myself be fooled by the impression you are just a little kid.

"I see. Is that so..."

It is. Now let's get to the interroga-

"Then, please apologize to me not as the warden but as yourself."

...As myself?

"Yes. It is only natural for a person to apologize to another for breaking a promise."

...

"Why are you looking so doubtful? Are you not human?"

No, I'm sure you're right. ... I apologize.

"Okay! I'm kind, so I shall forgive you. That's nice, isn't it? If my parents were in my place you would have been lectured for another hour."

I'm glad I wasn't born into your family.

"...Is that so? Alright, we're running late. So, let's start the interrogation!"

(I think it's important to note that Amane has parents here meaning both of them would have lectured here for another hour. Not just her mom.)

And what is hearing these voices but constant lecturing and berating with no end? Not even the freedom of thought she used to have in order to cope with these things. It's a new sort of sound torture where someone isn't even safe in their own mind.

Also, I thought it'd be fun to point out this other similarity in thinking between Futa and Amane,

Q.01 What do friends mean to you?

Futa: People who get excited about the same things as you.

Bring It On

"You apologize if you do something wrong, you learn that even before words, don’t you?" - "When you do something wrong, you need to apologize. These are both my personal rules and the rules of society."/ "Yes. It is only natural for a person to apologize to another for breaking a promise."

This part of her first interrogation may also be why they say this in their second,

"But we are generous. For now, let us make some time for a conversation with you. After all, our history is one that is built on dialogue."

Next time in part two- (Also known as next time on my declining mental health and Star's increasing sleep deprivation!)

Hey I wanted to ask you a question. I have a good self concept and everything and I’m manifesting that my friends are nicer to me. And ik im supposed to ignore the 3D but it’s kinda hard when they are really mean to me a lot and it’s taking quite a toll on my mental health. What do I do?

aw sweet anon, i'm so sorry that your friends aren't being nice to you :c you deserve only the deepest respect, love, and care and i am so happy you are wanting to give yourself friends who show you that! 💗

it can be hard to persist in believing that things will change when life shows you something you don't enjoy. we are taught to believe that the order is life experience → new belief forms about life and ourselves → no control about what happens to us. but with the law, we get the opportunity to change this order to be new belief in imagination → life experience. our physical experiences can be awful, but they do not have to be our true reference point. in imagination, we are limitless.

something i think we often forget when our circumstances are being cruel to us is that you don't have to pretend that the 3D is different than it is. you don't have to pretend that your heart doesn't hurt, that your friends aren't being mean to you, or that things are any different in your life. you only have to accept that this change is real in your imagination. you can imagine anything, right? if i told you to imagine an apple, you would tell me, yup, i have an apple right here in my imagination. i wouldn't then try to convince you that you actually have the apple in your hands, because it isn't there (yet). you only have to accept that you do, in fact, have it in imagination, and you have to know that accepting it in your imagination is ALL YOU NEED TO DO to make it happen in your physical reality!

you don't have to pretend that your friends aren't being rude to you, or push down your feelings of hurt, because it will only make the painful feelings bigger if you deny them. it's okay to feel the sadness and hurt of human experiences - take care of yourself in the 3D, hug yourself, and remind yourself of your worth. as long as you are accepting that in imagination they are kind to you, then that is all you need to do. in imagination, you can accept anything, right? you can imagine them apologizing to you and hearing their apology in your ears, imagine them being sweet to you, anything that implies a better situation for yourself. give yourself, in imagination, what you wish to see, and if you at LEAST believe that you can see it in your minds eye, then you can know it can and will reflect!

a tangible thing i can give you to try is revision. lets say a friend was saying really rude things to you earlier in the day and it hurt your feelings. all you need to do is go into your imagination and visualize what you experienced earlier in the day, but this time change the scene/outcome. here are some examples of what you could imagine:

your friend says something mean, and then another friend says, "hey, there is no need to be so hurtful. they didn't deserve that at all!" then hear the friend who insulted you apologizing, see them look ashamed and realizing that they had hurt you.

imagine your friend never said anything mean to you at all, and instead replace it with what you wish you could have heard. "i'm so happy you're my friend," "i'm sorry for the hurt i've caused you, you mean a lot to me," or even just all of you laughing and having fun knowing that they are kind.

anyhoo, this was a lot of words, but i hope this can help anon. please remember that you deserve the world and i promise you that you deserve only the best and that it is coming! also, please give yourself a big hug for loving yourself enough to want this change in your life. you are a good person and i am rooting for you.

Stay Cute UWU

I Am Dancing in a Room, La Fauna 2k25

(online performance and mixed media installation)

'I never expected all these cats'

In 2014, when T.B.L., the creator of the World Wide Web, was asked what they didn't foresee about the internet, they simply said: "kittens”. Kittens and cuteness were considered the unexpected, in a world created for data e information, cuteness and kittens are now ubiquitous online beings. A gigantic primal universal language.

ᕱ⑅ᕱ

₍ᐢ •͈ ༝ •͈ ᐢ₎♡

Cuteness, known as Kawaii in Japanese, extends beyond mere aesthetics; it embodies deeper meanings such as kindness, emotional depth, and vulnerability but also the heritage of a kawaii rebellion to society standards and stereotypes, born in the 70s and nowaday transcended in the e-girls online presence . In a society fixated on strength and tangible outcomes, where imperfections are often shunned, emotions are mistakenly viewed as weaknesses and errors. However, embracing cuteness serves as a weapon for self-acceptance, challenging stereotypes and artificial displays of strength. It's a reminder that it's perfectly acceptable to express one's emotions openly, cause It’s ok to cry . The human body becomes more than just a vessel for perfection and strength; it becomes a ritual field, a canvas, for feelings and emotion and their symbolic enactment .

“ Stay Cute _ UWU “ is the new chapter of the y2k20 series “La Fauna, I Am Dancing in a Room” ; a work about the eternal diffusion of gestures and micro choreography in the era of social algorithms. As millions of bedrooms are uploaded online every day, inside them millions of users perform the same gestures. The online gesture is now a choreography that never ends, a performative expression of a mutual borderless language. The gesture wanders by mimesis from one room to another, often without any or just minimal variation apart from its new habitat: the body of the performer and the room that hosts it. Part of the various habitats regarding La Fauna 2k20, including ROSES, the first habitat presented at RomaEuropa DigitalLive 2020, I Am Dancing in a Room, pursues the contemporary life of online micro choreography, in which the gesture and sets of gestures unite millions of users and their habitats. In the same way we could see a sequence of gestures repeated for days following a single ritual hashtag, thus observing a perennial creative state of the user and the person, repossessed by the gesture and the movement.

The movement thus enters an expanded state of existence, crossing space, time and cultural boundaries, inscribed in the virtual walls of the entire connected planet, projecting us wherever there may be a connected user and his webcam. I Am Dancing In A Room, brings together on the same monitor, a series of performers and friends of the artist, who perform a choreography for webcam. Accompanying this visual flow are aquatic alien landscapes, floating stickers, avatars, memes and motivational statuses, as if virtual worlds could blossom and exist as online life forms.

“Nel passaggio tra un utente e l’altro, come in un macrorganismo i linguaggi e i data diventano eterni remix di una stessa informazione, un continuo spazio temporale di abduction (rapimento alieno) e riti dello user. Allo stesso modo potremmo ballare all’infinito sullo stesso loop per giorni inseguendo una track di rito su Tik Tok.”

"Non mi sarei mai aspettato tutti questi gatti"

Nel 2014, quando a T.B.L., il creatore del World Wide Web, è stato chiesto cosa non avesse previsto di Internet, ha semplicemente risposto: "gattini". Gattini e tenerezza erano considerati l'inaspettato, in un mondo creato per i dati e le informazioni, la tenerezza e i gattini sono ora esseri online onnipresenti. Un gigantesco linguaggio universale primordiale.

La tenerezza cuteness , nota come Kawaii in giapponese, si estende oltre la mera estetica; incarna significati più profondi come gentilezza, profondità emotiva e vulnerabilità, ma anche l'eredità di una ribellione kawaii agli standard e agli stereotipi della società, nata negli anni '70 e oggi trascesa nella presenza online delle e-girl. In una società fissata sulla forza e sui risultati tangibili, dove le imperfezioni sono spesso evitate, le emozioni vengono erroneamente viste come debolezze ed errori. Tuttavia, abbracciare la tenerezza serve come arma per l'autoaccettazione, sfidando gli stereotipi e le dimostrazioni artificiali di forza. È un promemoria che è perfettamente accettabile esprimere le proprie emozioni apertamente, perché è ok piangere. Il corpo umano diventa più di un semplice contenitore di perfezione e forza; diventa un campo rituale, una tela, per sentimenti ed emozioni e la loro rappresentazione simbolica.

"Stay Cute _ UWU" è il nuovo capitolo della serie y2k20 "La Fauna, I Am Dancing in a Room"; un'opera sull'eterna diffusione di gesti e micro coreografie nell'era degli algoritmi sociali. Mentre milioni di camere da letto vengono caricate online ogni giorno, al loro interno milioni di utenti eseguono gli stessi gesti. Il gesto online è ora una coreografia che non finisce mai, un'espressione performativa di un linguaggio reciproco senza confini. Il gesto vaga per mimesi da una stanza all'altra, spesso senza alcuna o solo una minima variazione a parte il suo nuovo habitat: il corpo dell'esecutore e la stanza che lo ospita. Parte dei vari habitat riguardanti La Fauna 2k20, tra cui ROSES, il primo habitat presentato a RomaEuropa DigitalLive 2020, I Am Dancing in a Room, insegue la vita contemporanea della micro coreografia online, in cui il gesto e gli insiemi di gesti uniscono milioni di utenti e i loro habitat. Allo stesso modo potremmo vedere una sequenza di gesti ripetuti per giorni seguendo un singolo hashtag rituale, osservando così uno stato creativo perenne dell'utente e della persona, riappropriati dal gesto e dal movimento.

Il movimento entra così in uno stato di esistenza espanso, attraversando confini spaziali, temporali e culturali, inscritto nelle pareti virtuali dell'intero pianeta connesso, proiettandoci ovunque ci siano un utente connesso e la sua webcam. I Am Dancing In A Room, riunisce sullo stesso monitor, una serie di performer e amici dell'artista, che eseguono una coreografia per webcam. Ad accompagnare questo flusso visivo ci sono paesaggi alieni acquatici, adesivi galleggianti, avatar, meme e stati motivazionali, come se i mondi virtuali potessero fiorire ed esistere come forme di vita online.

“Nel passaggio tra un utente e l’altro, come in un macrorganismo i linguaggi e i dati diventano eterni remix di una stessa informazione, un continuo spazio temporale di rapimento (rapimento alieno) e riti dello user. Allo stesso modo potremmo ballare all’infinito sullo stesso loop per giorni seguendo una traccia di rito su Tik Tok.”

Welcome to the official Danganronpa V3: Reimagined Ask Blog!

Here, you have the ability to interact with the characters from Danganronpa V3: Reimagined in non-canonical setting in which you can ask them about their emotions, experiences, feelings, opinions, preferences, thoughts, and otherwise. Characters will not question your existence and will generally answer any question that you present them with in their own unique way.

Please take a moment to read through the guidelines of this blog so that you may familiarise yourself with what characters can and can't do. Below the guidelines, there also exists a list of which characters you can talk to.

Ask Box Status: Open, but Low Activity* Ask Box Queue: None.

*This blog will officially "open" in the late summer or early autumn of 2025. Until then, users are are welcome to send generic questions to this blog while waiting for more DRV3:R content to be released.

What are some things to remember?

Anyone is welcome. You are welcome to speak to characters as yourself, your persona, your OCs, as Danganronpa/Fanganronpa characters, and so on. Some characters may be confused if they speak to a version of "themselves," but are unlikely to be opposed to the interaction itself. It should be noted, however, that characters will not be able to see "you." To them, you appear as a small, floating, glowing orb that is the same colour as your blog's main theme or the colour that you sign your message off with.

Don't forget to specify who you are talking to. If you do not specify who you are addressing your question to and your post does not make it obvious who you intended the message to be for, then the moderator will have a random character reply. You can address multiple characters in the same ask if you wish, or even specify that you do not mind who responds.

This blog is based on canon but is not canon itself. All interactions are based off characters’ canonical personalities from Danganronpa V3: Reimagined but are not canonical to the story.

This blog has no impact on the story of Danganronpa V3: Reimagined. Users can not change the events nor the outcome of Danganronpa V3: Reimagined, and the things that they say and/or do will not be referenced or used in any way within the story. Any instance in which events in-game appear similar to events from this blog are purely coincidental.

This blog is only for interacting with the characters of Danganronpa V3: Reimagined. All update posts on the development of Danganronpa V3: Reimagined can be found on the moderator’s primary blog or alternative forms of social media, the list of which can be found [HERE]. If you have any questions for the moderator directly, you should ask them on their primary blog, which can be found [HERE]. The only exception to this rule is if you need clarification on how to interact with this blog, in which you are welcome to ask it here.

Questions will be answered according to a schedule. This blog will be active every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 20:00 to 22:00 (according to the current time zone of London, England), but it may also be active at other times depending on the moderator's free time. This does not mean that users need to be active during these times; they can ask something at any time. Questions will be answered in the chronological order that they were asked. Based on the number of questions received, there may occasionally be a delay in responses.

Questions will be answered at the moderator’s discretion. Questions that do not adhere to the guidelines outlined within this master-post, as well as questions that are inappropriate in nature will be ignored. If a question has been asked more than once, it may also be ignored. The moderator is unlikely to inform a user if their question has been rejected.

What can characters do?

Characters can interact with users. They can interact audibly (through speech) and to a limited extent visually (through sight) and tangibly (through touch). Generally, they will opt to answer requests and questions verbally, but users can, if they wish, show or present characters with items for them to interact with, as long as this does not break immersion. A character does not have to be alive in the canonical story for you to interact with them, meaning that users can ask questions to the "ghosts" of the characters.

Characters can answer questions presented by users. They can answer questions about their emotions, experiences, feelings, opinions, preferences, thoughts, and otherwise, regarding in-game concepts and events, as well as trivial real-world concepts, such as their likes and dislikes for food, games, and more. Characters will be able to talk about events in the story at least one week after they have been available publicly, and posts will note if they contain any spoilers for events that have already occurred.

Characters can remember users, within the setting of this blog only. If a user regularly signs off an anonymous ask with an alias, name, nickname or username; or regularly uses their main account to ask a question (meaning that their username is visible); characters may remember them in the future. Depending on how a user acts towards a character, a positive or negative opinion will be formed, which may in turn impact how the character replies.

What can characters not do?

Characters cannot break the fourth wall. Questions such as, “Do you know that you are a character video game?” “Do you know that everything you are experiencing is being written by someone?” and “Do you know that you are not real?” will be ignored. They also cannot comment on current real-world events. This prevents immersion from being broken.

Characters cannot comment on their identity. Questions such as, “What is your gender?” “What is your sexual orientation?” and “What is your romantic orientation?” will be ignored. This allows users to use their own pre-existing headcanons from Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony or create new headcanons specifically for Danganronpa V3: Reimagined, regarding a character’s identity. Characters' ages, birthdays, preferred name/names, and preferred pronouns are specified in the list below the guidelines.

Characters cannot, with certainty, comment on events that have not yet occurred. Questions such as, “Are you planning to kill someone?” “Are you the mastermind?” and “Who is going to kill you?” will be met with confusion and denial. Questions such as, “Who is the mastermind?” “Who will be the next killer?” and “Who will be the next victim?” will be met with refusal to answer or mere speculation. Characters will be able to talk about events in the story at least one week after they have been available publicly, and posts will note if they contain any spoilers for events that have already occurred.

Directing Energy

What is Directing Energy?

Directing energy is the conscious focusing and guiding of your personal or ambient spiritual energy toward a specific goal or intention within your magical practice. It’s a foundational skill in witchcraft and many forms of magic, allowing you to shape and channel invisible forces to manifest change, protection, healing, or any desired outcome.

Energy can be visualized as light, heat, or movement flowing from your body, tools, or the environment. Learning to direct this energy helps bring clarity and power to your spells, rituals, and daily workings.

Why Use Directing Energy in Your Practice?

Without clear direction, magical energy can feel scattered or weak. When you intentionally guide energy, your practice becomes more focused and effective. Directing energy also helps maintain control over your magic, preventing unintended consequences or wasted effort.

This skill deepens your connection to your inner self and the natural world, fostering confidence and mastery over your craft.

Beginner Tips

Start by grounding yourself to feel centered and balanced.

Practice raising energy through breathwork, movement (like dancing or drumming), or visualization.

Use your hands, wand, athame, or other tools to physically channel and shape the energy.

Visualize the energy flowing clearly from its source to your target—this might be a candle flame, a sigil, or a circle boundary.

Work in a quiet space free from distractions to build sensitivity to subtle energy shifts.

Experiment with different sensations (warmth, tingling, pressure) to recognize your unique energy signature.

Keep your intentions clear and positive to guide energy effectively.

Cautions and Ethics

Never force or push energy beyond what feels comfortable—this can cause fatigue or imbalance.

Respect others’ energy and avoid directing energy toward people without consent.

Be aware of your own emotional state; strong emotions can alter the quality of your energy work.

Avoid using energy direction to manipulate or control others against their will.

Cleanse yourself and your workspace regularly to prevent negative energy buildup.

How to Incorporate Directing Energy into Your Practice

Use directed energy to empower spells, charms, or amulets.

Incorporate energy flow exercises in meditation or ritual to build strength.

Direct energy for healing yourself or others by visualizing restoration and balance.

Combine energy directing with breath and movement to enhance manifestation.

Use energy to cleanse spaces by visualizing it pushing out negativity.

Train regularly to increase awareness and precision in your practice.

My Experience and Notes

Directing energy felt abstract at first, but with practice, it became a natural extension of my intention. Using my hands and breath to send energy toward candles or crystals made my spells feel alive and tangible. I’ve learned to listen closely to how energy flows through me, adjusting my focus as needed. This skill has enriched every aspect of my craft, from simple daily workings to complex rituals.

⸻

Practical Learning for Pragmatists: MaxLearn’s AI-Powered Microlearning Approach

Learning is most effective when it aligns with an individual’s natural preferences and cognitive style. Pragmatists, as defined by Honey and Mumford’s Learning Styles, are action-oriented learners who prefer direct, applicable knowledge. They thrive on practical, real-world learning experiences that allow them to see immediate results.

MaxLearn’s AI-driven microlearning platform is designed to cater to such learners by providing structured, task-based learning that enhances problem-solving skills, decision-making abilities, and overall job performance. By tailoring content to the unique needs of Pragmatists, MaxLearn ensures that learning is not only engaging but also highly effective.

Who Are Pragmatist Learners

Pragmatists are learners who:

Prefer hands-on and application-based learning

Focus on real-world problem-solving rather than abstract theories

Appreciate structured guidance that leads to practical outcomes

Thrive on role-playing, simulations, and discussions

Dislike unnecessary complexity and prefer straightforward solutions

In a workplace setting, Pragmatists can be found in roles such as:

Project managers who need clear, step-by-step guidance on planning and execution

Field engineers who require hands-on learning for troubleshooting and maintenance

Healthcare professionals who must apply medical knowledge to real patient scenarios

Sales executives who focus on customer interactions and negotiation strategies

For these individuals, theoretical discussions are not as useful as practical demonstrations, process breakdowns, and real-world application exercises.

How MaxLearn Supports Pragmatist Learners

MaxLearn integrates cutting-edge AI technology to design and deliver microlearning experiences that resonate with Pragmatists. The platform ensures that learning is actionable, relevant, and immediately applicable by focusing on the following principles:

1 Task-Based Microlearning

Pragmatists prefer learning through structured, goal-oriented tasks that lead to tangible outcomes. MaxLearn provides:

Step-by-step guides that break down complex processes into actionable steps

Task-oriented learning paths tailored to job-specific needs

Short explainer videos titled “How to…” that provide quick and clear instructions

Interactive walkthroughs that demonstrate real-world applications

For instance, a field engineer learning how to repair a complex machine would benefit from a task-based module that includes:

A visual breakdown of machine components

A video demonstration of the repair process

A hands-on simulation that allows them to virtually practice the steps

A quick assessment to test their understanding before real-world application

This type of structured learning ensures that learners gain confidence in their abilities while reinforcing best practices.

Pragmatists learn best when they see how things are done before attempting them. MaxLearn incorporates:

Short, engaging video lessons that explain concepts in three to five minutes

Process-driven animations to illustrate key concepts visually

Real-world demonstrations that showcase best practices in action

Voice-over guidance to reinforce key takeaways

For a project manager, an explainer video on risk assessment in project planning might cover:

Key risk factors to evaluate

A structured approach to risk mitigation

A real-world example of risk management done right

Step-by-step guidance on implementing a risk assessment framework

This structured yet engaging approach helps learners internalize concepts quickly and apply them immediately in their roles.

3 Decision-Making Simulations

Pragmatists often find themselves in roles where they must make quick, effective decisions under pressure. MaxLearn supports decision-making skills through:

Scenario-based simulations that mimic real workplace challenges

Problem-solving exercises that encourage learners to think critically

Role-playing activities to practice negotiation, conflict resolution, and leadership skills

AI-driven adaptive challenges that adjust difficulty based on learner responses

For a sales executive, a decision-making simulation might involve:

Handling customer objections in real time

Choosing between different sales techniques based on the customer profile

Navigating challenging negotiation scenarios to close a deal

This approach enables learners to build confidence, improve reaction times, and refine their problem-solving skills in a controlled environment.

Pragmatists benefit greatly from interactive learning experiences where they can engage in discussions, share insights, and practice skills in real-time. MaxLearn facilitates this by incorporating:

Collaborative learning spaces for peer-to-peer discussions

Live role-playing exercises to simulate workplace situations

Mentor-guided discussions that provide expert feedback and insights

AI-driven chatbots that engage learners in scenario-based conversations

For example, a customer service manager learning de-escalation techniques might participate in a role-playing exercise where they:

Interact with a virtual customer experiencing an issue

Choose from multiple response options to handle the situation

Receive real-time feedback on their approach

Engage in a group discussion with peers to compare strategies

This social and practical learning approach enhances communication skills, decision-making abilities, and confidence in handling real-world interactions.

5 Real-World Case Studies

Pragmatists prefer learning from real experiences rather than theoretical discussions. MaxLearn integrates:

Industry-specific case studies that highlight successful applications of concepts

Practical examples from leading organizations

Lessons learned from real workplace challenges

Actionable takeaways that learners can implement immediately

For instance, in a supply chain management training module, a case study might explore:

How a leading company optimized inventory management to reduce costs

The strategies they used to enhance logistics efficiency

The step-by-step approach they followed to achieve their goals

Practical takeaways that learners can apply in their own organizations

This approach ensures that Pragmatists connect learning to real-world success stories and gain insights that directly impact their professional growth.

How MaxLearn’s AI Personalizes Learning for Pragmatists

MaxLearn’s AI-driven adaptive learning system ensures that each Pragmatist learner receives highly relevant, customized content that aligns with their:

Learning goals and job role

What evidence is needed for a personal injury case?

When navigating a personal injury case, your evidence is the foundation for building a strong claim. Whether you were injured in a car accident, a slip and fall, or any other unfortunate event, presenting the right documentation can significantly impact the outcome of your case. Here's an in-depth look at the types of evidence you’ll need to make sure your personal injury case is as solid as possible.

1. Medical Records: Proof of Your Injuries and Treatment

Your medical records are one of the most important evidence in a personal injury case. These records document the extent of your injuries, treatments received, and how the injury has impacted your daily life. They also include important details like:

Doctor’s notes that outline your diagnosis and prognosis

Prescriptions and medications you were prescribed

Surgical reports if your injury requires any operations

Physical therapy records to show ongoing treatment

Medical bills to prove the financial burden of your treatment

The more comprehensive your medical records, the easier it is to prove the physical and financial toll the injury has taken on you. It's also helpful to record follow-up appointments and any future treatments you may need to recover fully.

2. Photos and Videos: Capturing the Scene and Injuries

Photos and videos are powerful tools in any personal injury case because they provide a visual account of what happened. Right after the incident, try to capture:

The scene of the accident: If you slipped on a wet floor, capture the absence of warning signs. If you were in a car accident, take pictures of the vehicle damage and road conditions.

Your injuries: Photos of bruises, cuts, or any visible injuries help show the immediate impact of the incident.

Hazardous conditions: Broken stairs, uneven pavement, or poor lighting can help prove negligence or responsibility.

These images provide tangible evidence that can support your testimony and strengthen your case in court.

3. Witness Statements: Verifying Your Version of Events

If anyone saw what happened, their statements could be invaluable. Witnesses can objectively view the incident and help verify your account. Collect contact information from any bystanders so your attorney can reach out to get an official statement. A strong witness statement can paint a clearer picture of the incident, filling in gaps and providing additional support to your claims.

Immediate witnesses: People on the scene can provide a firsthand account of what they saw.

Expert witnesses: In some cases, a professional, such as a doctor or accident reconstruction specialist, might be brought in to provide additional insight.

4. Police Reports: Official Documentation of the Incident

For accidents involving vehicles or any event where law enforcement was called, police reports provide an official record of the incident. Police reports often include:

A detailed description of the scene

Statements from those involved

The officer’s opinion on who may have been at fault

Diagrams or photos of the scene

This report can serve as an authoritative account of the accident and be used to support your case, particularly in situations where liability is disputed.

5. Financial Documentation: Proving the Financial Impact

A personal injury doesn’t just affect your physical health—it often comes with a financial burden. Documenting your financial losses is essential when seeking compensation for:

Medical expenses: From hospital stays to ongoing treatments, it is crucial to keep a record of all your medical bills.

Lost wages: If your injury has prevented you from working, document any loss of income, including future earning potential, if your injury has long-term effects.

Out-of-pocket costs include travel to medical appointments, home care, or any other expenses directly related to your injury.

The clearer you can be about how the injury has affected your financial situation, the better your chances are of receiving fair compensation.

6. Expert Testimony: Supporting Your Case with Professional Insight

In more complex cases, expert testimony might be required to explain certain elements of your case. Experts can provide insight that a judge or jury might not fully understand otherwise. Examples of experts who might be called include:

Medical experts: They can explain the severity of your injury and the potential long-term impacts on your health.

Accident reconstruction experts: These professionals can recreate the accident scene and provide insight into how and why it happened.

Economic experts: In cases involving significant financial loss, an economist might be needed to project future losses due to the injury.

Your lawyer will determine if expert testimony is necessary based on the specifics of your case.

7. Documentation of Communication: Emails, Texts, and Correspondence

Communication between you and the other party may be valuable evidence in some personal injury cases. This could include emails or text messages where the other party admits fault or discusses the incident in detail. Keeping a record of these communications can support your case and show an open line of dialogue regarding the accident or injury.

Building a strong personal injury case requires the right evidence to prove that you were harmed and that someone else is responsible. Whether it's medical records, witness statements, or expert testimony, you need a well-documented case to ensure you receive fair compensation.

At McGinn Law Firm, we understand how overwhelming the legal process can be, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Let us help you gather the evidence you need to protect your rights and get the compensation you deserve.

✨🌕✨Setting Intention for The Full Moon ✨🌕✨

Setting Intention for the Full Moon 🌕✨

Setting a clear intention during the Full Moon is one of the most powerful practices you can do. The Moon is a natural amplifier of energy, and it’s the perfect time to align your desires with the cycles of the cosmos. If you didn’t get the chance to prepare a detailed ritual, you can still take a few simple but intentional steps to set your intentions under the Full Moon’s energy.

Here’s how you can do it:

1. Reflect on What You Want to Release 🔥

The Full Moon is often about culmination and release. It’s a time to look at what’s no longer serving you, whether it’s old habits, unhealthy relationships, emotional baggage, or limiting beliefs. Take a moment to reflect on what you feel ready to let go of.

You can sit in silence for a few minutes and ask yourself: What is holding me back from my highest potential? What do I need to release to make space for new possibilities?

Once you have an idea, you can write it down or say it aloud. For example: “I release fear and doubt, making space for clarity and confidence.”

2. Set Your Clear Intention for Manifestation 🌟

After you’ve made space by releasing, now focus on what you want to manifest. This is where the magic happens! Think about what you want to bring into your life—whether it’s abundance, love, career success, or personal growth. Be clear and specific, but don’t get caught up in the details. Just trust that the universe will guide the energy in the right direction.

Write your intention down on paper or speak it aloud, as if it’s already happening: “I manifest abundance in all areas of my life” or “I call in new, loving relationships.”

3. Infuse Your Intention with Emotion 💖

Feelings are a huge part of intention-setting. When you infuse your intention with emotion, you’re sending out a signal to the universe that this is something you deeply desire. Whether you’re focusing on your career, self-love, or healing, imagine the emotion associated with your intention.

For example, if you’re manifesting love, feel the warmth and excitement of being in a loving relationship. If you’re setting an intention for personal growth, feel the joy and peace that comes with self-empowerment. This emotional connection will amplify your intention.

4. Use Your Female Statue as a Focused Symbol of Intention 🔮

The statue or image of a goddess can serve as a powerful reminder of the energy you want to embody. When you set your intention, hold your gaze on the statue or image, and imagine the energy of the goddess connecting with you. Allow her energy to support and amplify your intention.

You can also speak your intention directly to her, as a way of offering it up to the divine. For example: “I offer my intention to the goddess, trusting her guidance and protection as I manifest this desire.”

5. Speak Your Intention Out Loud 📢

The power of your voice is unmatched. Speaking your intention aloud releases it into the ether, making it more tangible and real. Say it with confidence and belief—almost as if you’re declaring it to the universe. You can say something like:

“I am ready to receive abundance in my career and my personal life. I trust the universe is working in my favour.”

Speaking your intention aloud can also help you align your thoughts and emotions with your desired outcome, making it feel more possible and real.

6. Visualise Your Intention 🌈

Spend a few minutes visualising your intention coming to life. Close your eyes, and use your imagination to paint a vivid picture of what your life will look like once your intention is realised. See yourself living it, feeling it, and experiencing it as if it’s already happening.

The more real you make this visualization in your mind, the more you will align your energy with it.

7. Close the Ritual with Gratitude 🙏

After you’ve set your intention, close the ritual by expressing gratitude. Thank the Full Moon for its light and power, thank the goddess or divine energies you’re working with, and thank the universe for helping bring your intention into fruition.

Gratitude seals the ritual, acknowledging that your desire is already on its way to you. This act of appreciation helps reinforce your trust in the process.

Full Moon Intention Ritual Summary:

1. Reflect on what you need to release (fear, doubt, negativity).

2. Set a clear, specific intention for what you want to manifest.

3. Infuse emotion into your intention (joy, love, peace).

4. Use a female statue as a focal point to amplify the energy of your intention.

5. Speak your intention aloud, declaring it to the universe.

6. Visualise your intention coming to life in vivid detail.

7. Close with gratitude, acknowledging the universe’s support.

Remember, your intention-setting doesn’t need to be complicated or time-consuming. With the Full Moon’s energy already working with you, a simple yet heartfelt intention will do wonders. Just trust the process, stay open, and believe in the magic of the lunar cycle! 🌕✨🌸

The Effects of Words and Vibration on Water as it Freezes

The interaction between sound, words, and water is a fascinating subject that combines physics, chemistry, and metaphysics. Studies have explored how external stimuli like words, sounds, and vibrations influence water crystallization during freezing.

Scientific Background

Water's unique properties are due to its molecular structure and hydrogen bonds, which play a critical role in freezing. When water freezes, its molecules form a crystalline structure, usually hexagonal ice, influenced by environmental conditions.

Theoretical Underpinnings

The idea that words and vibrations affect water crystallization comes from Dr. Masaru Emoto's controversial work. Emoto's experiments, detailed in "The Hidden Messages in Water," suggest that positive words, music, and intentions create aesthetically pleasing and well-defined ice crystals, while negative stimuli produce distorted crystals.

Key Experiment and Findings

1. Emoto's Water Crystal Experiment:

Emoto froze water samples exposed to various words, phrases, or music. He reported that positive stimuli (e.g., "love" and "gratitude") resulted in symmetrical crystals, while negative stimuli (e.g., "hate" and "anger") led to malformed crystals.

Cymatics and Vibrational Influence:

Cymatics studies the visual representation of sound waves. When water is subjected to specific frequencies, patterns like Chladni figures emerge, suggesting that sound vibrations can organize matter into distinct, ordered structures.

Criticism and Scientific Scrutiny:

Emoto's work has faced criticism for lacking rigorous controls and not being consistently replicated. Despite this, the popularity of his findings has spurred interest in the relationship between water and external stimuli.

Implications and Broader Significance

The concept that words and vibrations influence water has implications beyond scientific curiosity, touching on quantum physics, consciousness, and holistic health. If water molecules are influenced by human emotions and intentions, this could profoundly affect our understanding of consciousness and physical reality.

Quantum Physics and Consciousness:

Some link Emoto's findings to quantum physics principles, like the observer effect, suggesting a potential bridge between human consciousness and the material world.

Holistic Health and Well-being:

In holistic health, water quality is crucial for well-being. Positive intentions and words enhancing water structure align with practices like prayer and meditation, believed to promote health.

Environmental and Social Impact:

Understanding how environmental factors and human emotions affect water can influence environmental conservation and social interactions. Positive community engagement could potentially improve water quality and, by extension, ecosystems and human health.

Conclusion

While the scientific validation of Emoto's claims is contentious, exploring how words and vibrations influence water as it freezes opens intriguing possibilities. It challenges conventional scientific paradigms and invites deeper inquiry into the physical and metaphysical relationship.

Continued research with rigorous scientific methods is essential to substantiate or refute these claims. Regardless of the scientific outcome, the idea that positive energy manifests tangibly resonates deeply, emphasizing life's interconnectedness.

Mastering Business Consulting: Essential Tips for Lasting Success

Business consulting is more than just providing expert advice—it’s about empowering organizations to overcome challenges, optimize operations, and achieve sustainable growth. Whether you are a seasoned consultant or entering the field, understanding the foundational principles that contribute to successful consulting is crucial. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore essential tips that will help you excel as a business consultant. These strategies will not only enhance your problem-solving skills but also enable you to build strong client relationships and deliver meaningful, long-term results.

1. Understanding Client Needs: The Foundation of Effective Consulting

At the heart of every successful consulting engagement is a deep understanding of the client’s needs. This step is not just about gathering surface-level information; it involves a thorough exploration of the organization’s structure, goals, challenges, and culture. A consultant must develop a holistic view of the client’s business landscape to provide targeted and impactful solutions.

Start by engaging in in-depth discussions with key stakeholders. These conversations should be open-ended, allowing clients to share their concerns, aspirations, and pain points. Asking questions such as, “What are your biggest operational challenges?” or “Where do you see the company in five years?” can yield valuable insights. Active listening during these discussions is essential, as it allows you to pick up on both explicit needs and underlying issues that may not be immediately apparent.

In addition to interviews, immerse yourself in the client’s existing data. Analyze performance reports, customer feedback, and market trends to gain a more objective understanding of the business. This data-driven approach not only informs your consulting strategy but also strengthens your credibility by demonstrating a commitment to evidence-based recommendations.

Understanding client needs thoroughly sets the stage for creating effective solutions and fosters trust—a critical element in any consultant-client relationship. When clients feel heard and understood, they are more likely to embrace your guidance and collaborate openly.

2. Developing Clear and Actionable Strategies

After gaining a comprehensive understanding of the client’s needs, the next crucial step is to craft a clear and actionable strategy. One common challenge in business consulting is presenting solutions that are too abstract or theoretical. Clients need a roadmap that outlines specific steps, timelines, and measurable outcomes to guide their journey toward success.

Start by setting clear and realistic goals that align with the client’s broader vision. Goals should be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). For instance, instead of suggesting that a company "improve customer engagement," recommend a targeted objective such as "increase customer retention rates by 15% within six months."

Once goals are established, outline a detailed action plan. Break down the strategy into smaller, manageable tasks with clear responsibilities assigned to team members. Specify deadlines for each milestone to ensure accountability and track progress effectively. This structured approach makes complex projects more digestible and helps prevent overwhelm.

It’s also essential to consider potential risks and develop contingency plans. Consulting projects rarely go exactly as planned, and demonstrating foresight in anticipating challenges adds depth and reliability to your strategy.

When presenting your strategy to clients, focus on clarity and simplicity. Avoid industry jargon and use visual aids like charts and diagrams to illustrate processes and timelines. A well-communicated, actionable strategy not only empowers clients but also positions you as a consultant who delivers tangible results.

3. Effective Communication: The Key to Successful Consulting

Strong communication skills are indispensable in business consulting. Regardless of how well-researched or innovative your solutions are, their impact will be limited if they are not communicated effectively. As a consultant, you serve as a bridge between various stakeholders, translating complex ideas into actionable insights and ensuring that everyone is aligned.

Effective communication begins with understanding your audience. Tailor your messaging to fit the needs and preferences of different stakeholders. Executives may prefer high-level overviews that focus on strategic outcomes, while department heads might require more detailed explanations about how specific changes will affect their teams. Recognizing and adapting to these differences ensures that your message resonates with each audience.

Transparency is another cornerstone of strong communication. Keep clients informed about project progress, challenges, and any changes to the original plan. Regular updates, whether through formal reports or informal check-ins, build trust and demonstrate accountability.

Active listening is equally critical. Consulting is not just about providing solutions—it’s about fostering collaboration. By attentively listening to client feedback and encouraging open dialogue, you create an environment where clients feel valued and engaged in the process.

When presenting complex information, strive for clarity. Use visual aids, analogies, and real-world examples to simplify intricate concepts. This not only enhances understanding but also ensures that stakeholders can confidently make informed decisions based on your recommendations.

4. Building Long-Term Client Relationships for Sustained Success

While delivering results is essential, building long-term relationships with clients is what sets great consultants apart. Strong client relationships not only lead to repeat business but also generate referrals and expand your professional network. Cultivating these relationships requires a focus on trust, value, and consistent engagement.

One effective approach is to stay connected with clients even after a project concludes. Follow up periodically to check on their progress and offer additional insights or support. This ongoing engagement shows that you are invested in their long-term success, not just the duration of the contract.

Providing value beyond the initial project is another key to relationship-building. Share relevant industry news, emerging trends, or innovative strategies that may benefit your client. This positions you as a thought leader and trusted advisor rather than just a service provider.

Honesty and transparency are foundational to strong client relationships. Be upfront about potential challenges and realistic about expected outcomes. Clients appreciate consultants who are forthright and solution-oriented, even when delivering difficult news.

Building personal rapport can also strengthen professional relationships. Taking the time to understand your clients’ communication styles, leadership preferences, and even personal interests fosters a deeper connection and makes collaboration more enjoyable.

By focusing on long-term relationships, you not only enhance client satisfaction but also create opportunities for future growth and success in your consulting career.

Mastering the art of business consulting requires more than expertise—it demands a comprehensive approach that combines deep client understanding, strategic planning, effective communication, and relationship-building. By focusing on these essential tips, you can elevate your consulting practice, deliver meaningful results, and foster long-lasting client partnerships.

As you guide organizations through challenges and transformations, remember that the most impactful consultants are those who not only solve problems but also empower their clients to achieve sustainable success. Embrace these strategies, and you will be well on your way to becoming a trusted and influential business consultant.
