Im looking forward to this aswell and would love any kind of response about it. I learned meditation through buddhism so i guess im eligible to this. Tho i have yet to conciously evoke a being. I have absolutely no experience with this and im still unsure about it. So i dont really feel fully ready. Maybe Arcane nd me can work together on this? -) You got the inside about evokation and i got the buddhism insides. I will go for this anyway sooner or later but would be cool if i have one on my side who knows what to do if something goes wrong or whatever
I for myself know it is possible effortlessly (just by the thoughts and feelings) to make everything you can imagine happen (instantly) based on the belief. The doubtless (constant) believe from deep within. We just need to learn to believe in things a 100% in a blink of an eye, while everyone else say its impossible. I dont think it could be possible i KNOW it is possible. On mindexpanding substances it is so super easy but also pretty dangerous. You fall too deep too quick. Chances are (i think) you fall too deep and cant come back then. The mind is like a labyrinth and one might not find the way out anymore.
So i want to get there without substances and a clear mind. Not sure how to accomplish this yet. Maybe more training is needed. We need to get rid of the very subtile feelings of doubt. Need to learn to spot them and eliminate. Or maybe alchemise them into believe. They block the power (or batter they direct the power to the noneworking status).
