whiporwill-o how does a god/dess reach out to you. is it obvious, like their image keeps popping up everywhere you look, or will it be more subtle
i agree with Cu. deities have such a wide range of personalities that it's entirely likely that they all communicate with humans differently.
in my experience, i had a vision of Shiva during meditation that imparted verifiable gnosis. since then, Shiva has cropped up everywhere; bumper stickers, music, other people having dreams about me singing the Mahamritunjaya mantra [something i've never head of until he said he'd dreamt me singing it], even a statue in the background of one episode of Buffy. you get the picture.
personally i have never felt a pull toward Shiva nor do i yet desire a relationship with him. however, Shiva's roles as the god of destruction and rebirth pointed me in the direction of a lot of other deities that i have liked, including Mars, Minerva, and what i understand of the god of the Wica [which i am a seeker of].

okay, then i think im being chased down by Ganesh[a]. i see his image everywhere, even on a pair of pants that we got at work that i absolutely love (i didnt know he was on them until i tried them on). i didnt even know who Ganesh[a] was until he started showing up everywhere i went and then i did a little research.

whiporwill-o why is anyone 'important' enough for a god or goddess to want them? Lineage Established Oaths Skills that the deity wishes to employ Humans can make for interesting chew toys ... The list goes on based on which gods and traditions we are speaking of.
Heck- there are some gods that take interest in young women just to rape them.
Quote: [your phrasing sounds very condesending though, but maybe that's just because i'm not very familiar with you yet] Yep. You're being over sensitive.
As for my phrasing, it comes across that way because it is designed to be in direct opposition to your assumption of interest in the first place.
Quote: so i dont see a strong possibility that he was just overlooked. If you were overlooking it, you wouldn't see any possibility either.

whiporwill-o i don't understand what you mean by 'thoughtform/play', could you please explain 3nodding (i only loosely grasp the concept of thoughtforms in general) The down and dirty translation is that you could be talking to yourself and generating psycho-drama.
Further translation: You're using base psychology to connect intuitive and cognitive halves of your brain.
So... you're talking to yourself in two different languages and employing culture as a translator.
Quote: hate to go all 'emo' on you, but i really don't see much to persue in myself, so maybe he (or anyone else) might see or know something i don't. That in and of itself could be a reason for generating a thought form, especially one that is non-threatening.
