If you follow the steps thoroughly then you WILL get into the void state. + i also manifested it will get everyone into the void state. This challenge will put an end to your procrastination and will get you the most perfect mindset that you will result in you getting straight into the void.♡

♡ STEP 1: Set an official date for when you are going to get into the void state. Once you've set the date you CANNOT change it. Once the date is officially set, it's set. No mind changing, no procrastinating. No doubting. No putting it off. That is the day. You do not have to set a time, you can go in anytime during that day. But if you want to set a time, you 100% can, but once you've set a time you can't change it or remove it, just like you can't change the date.

♡ STEP 2: Live as though you are a master at the void state. Your mindset should be the exact same mindset as someone who has entered the void state many times and has gotten all of their desires. No need to stress over techniques. All you need to do is wake up in the morning, remember that you are a master at the void state and that you are going to get into the void state on your designated day. Feeling the happiness that the void state is so easy and that you are a master at it. Vaunting about how wonderful it is to be able to get into the void state whenever you want. Vaunting about how wonderful it is to have your desires.

Once your mind has been saturated and your official date arrives, you will get into the void state. Now go get your desires. You deserve them.♡

I have a theory about what Henry whispered in Camilla's ear before he killed himself.

Among other things, in the first lesson with Julian, he recounts a story about Tiberius:

Think, for example of Tiberius, the ugly stepson, trying to live up to the command of his stepfather Augustus. Think of the tremendous, impossible strain he must have undergone, following in the footsteps of a saviour, a god. The people hated him. No matter how hard he tried he was never good enough, could never be rid of the hateful self, and finally the floodgates broke. He was swept away on his perversions and he died, old and mad, lost in the pleasure gardens of Capri: not even happy there, as one might hope, but miserable. Before he died he wrote a letter home to the Senate. "May all the Gods and Goddesses visit me with more utter destruction than I feel I am daily suffering."

And that is what I think he whispered to Camilla, seeing as the story of Tiberius kind of mirrors Henry's.

I love the “cubitum eamus?” exchange in the text of The Secret History, however I think Donna Tartt really elevated the line with her delivery of it in the audiobook. “Are you the new neanias?” is mocking and flirtatious the emphasis on “young man.” Richard’s response is almost gravelly. The “cubitum eamus?” is more serious. The almost singsongy tone she gives Francis on “Nothing.” It makes the whole scene read as lighter and more playful than it does strictly as words on the page. You can interpret it as flirtation even without knowing what the Latin means. It shows the fine distinction between Francis’ elitist disdain and genuine interest. Donna Tartt deserves more hype for the quality of her narration in the audiobook of her own novel. There is a reason it so frequently gets clipped out as audios.

and a moment of silence for women in Donna Tartt novels

why is there always debates on whether or not women have hair on their vaginas but it’s just widely accepted and welcomed that men have hair. don’t piss me off.

foaming at the mouth at the realization that the climax of The Secret History started with Henry "kidnapping" Camilla like the Trojan War started because of Paris "kidnapping" Helen
