Oh.

It would make so much sense. It's intellectually sound, as far as I can tell, but it makes so much sense in much more nebulous ways too...

The numinous wanting humanity to collect information, pushing us along...why they started manifesting first as mystery airships, then as strange aircraft, then as supposed spacecraft...bringing messages of a broader universe...but also warning us about the implications of nuclear technology lest we destroy ourselves before we even begin...

The idea in tantrism that the material world represents the feminine side of divinity, and the mental side is masculine, and well, what does the masculine do to the feminine? It can impregnate it...

The universe itself is seen as being a kami, too...

And even on a wholly personal level...My first contact with the numinous coming through UFOlogy, then paranormal research, always being driven by this sense that the world is much larger and that we have some greater purpose here...always been extremely fascinated by the universe...

...Okina being the one to show herself to me with the greatest force...her leading me to witness astronomical phenomena and me having a profound spiritual experience there...I have asked her twice what she would like me to do and the reply has been, as far as I can tell, just "unlock your potential"...I mean, she is also the god of stars...

...occasional moments of feeling a sense that there is something even more vast out there, and this vastness has some kind of "friends" out there...having a strong sense that they want us to grow and flourish and prosper and to develop to a point where we can witness them in full glory...some vague feeling that they want us to take them to the stars to mingle with the others.

I suppose we still in the present have a lot of things here to look after right now, here on Earth. Our fellow people, animals and plants. The kami, spirits too. Lest we have, uh, a...premature ejaculation... and die in a nuclear war or total ecocide before we can even get really going with the whole "impregnating the cosmos thing". I know this kind of thinking could lead to some dark places, viewing this world as nothing but as a booster rocket, but I can't believe such would be right. Not now. Not for a very, very long time. Nobody is satisfied when you rush things in the bedroom, right?

So maybe this all too eventually just loops back to focusing on the things right in front of us. Trying to live in a way that we can share this planet for a long time with whoever else may be here with us. Unlocking our potential here right and now. Finding yourself a wife to nut in before you try to nut in the cosmos. No negative self talk also applies to your prospects of finding a partner - no matter how hard it may be for a /jp/sie.

This is a lot to unpack.

>even though it seems like there's no reason for it
I think you can aproach it from an intellectual perspective only so far. There is much to think about, much to learn, but ultimately if you don't feel it, you don't feel it. That doesn't mean you always won't feel it. Maybe something will happen that will make one more receptive to the numinous. For all I know there could be people for whom Touhou has been that precise thing haha.
>letting some deeper patterns shine through
I feel it's this, it feels like he is highly receptive to all kinds of archetypal and mythological things and can express them in interesting ways.
>maybe he's smarter and more consistent than we give him credit for
He probably is, at least more than the most haha funny alcoholic japanese man posts would have you believe.
>I'm still questioning whether this is a good thing or a bad thing
I don't know either, anon.
>Some stuff has happened since the last thread that's made me hesitant to awaken any more interest in the topic.
Oh...I feel like I have posted some things I probably shouldn't have in the past. I just felt like I was going crazy, alone with my thoughts. I'm really sorry if I have exposed others to something they shouldn't have been. Especially since I have been feeling much calmer since the last thread.

If one were to believe this (which is of course silly) then /jp/sies would be pretty cooked! Abandon your identity and try to crawl back to the society that already spat you out once or go on feeding your energies into god knows what! Or maybe run off into a monastery? But there may be just another entity (silly!) feeding of your energies there!? SILLY!

The situation is especially dire if IT (all the silly people have IT or THEM) doesn't give anything back! I have a sneaking suspicion that, if one were to believe any of this, that it might actually be giving back something!

Members of the Touhou fandom seem to suffer from profuse creativity, dominating the OC thread and making quite a lot of effortposting in even non-content threads! Not to mention the whole universe of Touhou fangames, fanart, pornography (what a wonderful energy funnel!), fanfic, merch and god knows what else outside of /jp/. One could say, if one were to believe, that there is an entire creative community around IT!? This might be good??

But of course not all the things IT appears to be giving might be so bening? Why do so many of the fans appear to be developing a fixation on becoming a "2hu"? Does it derive some sort of bizarre enjoyment from doing this? Or does IT want to incarnate itself into our world somehow??? Now that's an extremely silly thought for you all.

Of course this is all very silly and dumb and none of you should take any of this seriously.
