I actually had this come up recently with my girlfriend -- what I did (with the input/advice of another frequent Lith poster) was start with the tiniest concepts imaginable and slowly introducing them to her. For example, first I would talk about synchronicity and uncanny coincidence and tell her little anecdotes about that from my life. She would then go "Yeah, that's really freaky when that happens" and list stuff from her life that was incredible synchronicity. Then I'd mention that I think that stuff has meaning, that it happens for a reason.
I also mentioned that I was really into spiritual stuff and was always fascinated by unexplained phenomena, mysticism, the idea of psychic powers, etc. This slowly set the groundwork and introduced these topics. She learned that about me in very small stages, very gradually introduced over time. Once she'd gotten used to one and it was no big deal, I'd slowly introduce the next.
The next one was affirmations and the idea that we create our own reality, attracting to us people and experiences we need to learn, grow, face our fears, etc. (This also wasn't too far fetched to her since psychology says we do the same thing - we subconsciously attract people, friends, events that will play out our fears, issues, etc.) That led to me mentioning that Philip K. Dick wrote some stories that later came true. That led to the idea that maybe you could write a story (I didn't use the word sigil or hypersigil yet, that would be too much, I thought) and maybe it would come true soon. Talked about the will, destiny, free will as it relates to destiny, got all metaphysical.
Small doses, my friend. Just like inoculation.  |
