Full disclosure, this is a spiritual testament that will be held against me after Death. I will be judged by the Spirits as to the contents of this post.
In the year 2018, I went to the University of Massachusetts Amherst. There is something special here as the current Empress of Japan has ties to massachusetts (Source: https://patch.com/massachusetts/belmont/belmont-high-school-grad-named-japanese-empress )
My dream was to actually move to Japan. To do this, I needed a bachelor's degree. So I studied Japanese at university as well as computer science.
Everything was going okay until my senior year began. I realized I needed to form a connection to FROM SOFTWARE (the company I want to work for), and, decided to do "that" in Bloodborne. I would be the first westerner to do so.
>What's "that"?
Go to the parallel dimension. Every japanese game allows you to do it. And I must repent, some non-japanese games allow you to do it as well.
So off I went to grind possibilities in Yharnam. I wasn't prepared for how massive this undertaking was. I thought it would only be a little hard, not nightmarishly difficult.
I let it take priority over college. If I only just pushed myself a little harder, the power inside would come out and my dream would come true -- I would actually be able to actually move to Japan and be accepted as Japanese.
I already proved myself worthy of being accepted as Japanese in community college, where I scored a scholarship for international understanding...all for just wanting to understand Japan.
I ended up dropping out of college after failing my classes because I wasn't able to cross the dimension in Bloodborne.
My spiritual transformation happened at this same time...I became Shinto, and later, Japanese/Tendai Buddhist. Ask me anything.
How different are parallel dimensions?
>How different are parallel dimensions?
They use the same assets as the base game in some cases.
in other cases they're a totally different game.
are there any big booba tulpas there? asking for a friend
you have schizophrenia
No such thing my friend
Yeah cool, you have schizophrenia.
Maybe you'll see one day
I beg to differ
Did you know that the Japanese Meiji Reformation shut down development of Shinto? They were trying to look up things like beliefs about the afterlife in old texts, but that research was shut down in favor of the Imperial cult. Other historical research too. The Japanese went full on investigation mode on other countries to learn about how to modernize. Super crazy.
They also forcibly separated Buddhism and Shinto. Shinbutsu used to be a big thing. Buddhist temples had shrines on the grounds and monks would recite sutras at shrines. The reason was that they believed that kami needed salvation too. Kind of crazy the government did away with that. It's like they couldn't admit that Buddhism and Shinto had joined. Maybe Buddhism should have stayed out of Japan.
This is true. There a lot of literature and documentation on the formation of state Shinto and the subtle discrimination of Buddhism from the Meiji period into the war years of the Showa period. I think a lot of spiritual knowledge was either lost or destroyed in the late 1800s because of separation but there is still a lot spiritual gems in Japanese Buddhism and Shinto. The country has a lot of spiritual activity, ghosts and other things. I lived over there for a few years and saw some ghosts, possibly other things like Yokai which are essentially djinn or fae.
Yamabushi are still around. Shugendo has survived because of them. I also give credit to the Mikkyou sects, like Shingon.
A island who will Sink with no survivors
Bro it just floats away and media tells you it sinks… we went over this already. Shiva goes after China but not for awhile cause the god of time shows up. Your out to lunch man.
>Go to the parallel dimension
How?
As a person with mostly European but also an appreciable portion of Japanese ancestry, this sounds extremely moronic and more like you're either being baited, are willfully ignorant, or both.
Considering you've been spamming your moronic approach here my vote for your acceptance to Japan is "nay".
I am convinced that this island will be destroyed because I have read fortune teller prophecies with a reliability of 90 percent that say that it will also happen several anons ago here they had visions of Japan sinking
Those nippas be trippin' dude, don't listen to soothsayers and statisticians (who are also just soothsayers). You're shirking your responsibility for reading your own gut and analyzing it, bad habit.
There's some historic shit the Japanese pulled and that's not negligible, but sinking their whole nation, land and all?
Doesn't make frick all sense, it's bad enough that the Tibetans have been exiled and the Korean situation is all cuckoo.

If you have not mastered any skill or seen anything aethereal, I have nothing to gain from this conversation.
