A Study In Henry And Francis

A study in Henry and Francis

Henry is especially gifted. His great memory, mastering many languages and the ability to translate ancient works of literature just because he feels like it shows great intelligence that could take him much farther in life, but he is simply not interested. If you ask me, he was on autism spectrum but that's another conversation. While I don't think Francis' intelligence was quite on the same level as Henry's, I think he did have more potential but like the rest of the Greek class, didn't care as much about the ancient languages as Henry did.

However, Francis has the cunningness that Henry simply does not possess. Some consider Henry an evil mastermind for orchestrating a murder while others make fun of his methods, but if we really judge from apart the narrative, Henry is acting like a child who cannot fully comprehend what killing someone means. He considers different, elaborate, over the top, needless theories for killing and escaping. I mean, running away in Argentina, really? Henry is exceptionally well-read and it seems that the only thing he took from that are the acts, not the meaning. He still does not have his own understanding of the meaning of life. No wonder he cracks on Bunny's funeral. He also thinks that he can solve every problem, get away with anything, because he has considered how things would work out in theory based on what he has read, but he doesn't have much experience in real life, so he falters at difficulties, such as Julian abandoning him, Charles turning on him, his own conflicting feelings, the snow covering up Bunny's body, etc. I also don't think Henry was a good, or even an ill-intentioned manipulator. He has a simplistic, childish view on friendships as well. He considers the Greek class his friends: he pays for stuff, solves problems when they panic, so he expects the same kind of help in return without any unnecessary questions. Same with Richard. Henry helped him, offered him friendship and inclusion, then expected him to help him since he was included now.

Meanwhile, Francis is more savvy. The whole Greek class is detached from the real world and has an askew view on morality, yes, but Francis, unlike Henry, knows exactly how to use people. His dramatics often make us forget that he is perfectly able to figure out how to make things happen when he wants to. He knows how to poke Richard, knows what to ask of him. And with Charles? He got him alone and tried to have an intercourse with him, he also saw his drinking problem and tempted him with alcohol in exchange of sexual acts or had sex with him when he was drunk. That is using people in one of the most vile ways.

Hopefully, someday I shall articulate this in a better manner.

henry winter is like my anti-blorbo. he's a freak and has committed atrocities and is emotionally stunted. talking about him, reading fanfic, making art and mashing his face together with other characters like dolls makes me happy. however, i do not want to wrap him in a blanket and give him the world and defend his actions. i love to hate him. i think he should kill himself

The Secret History destroyed my life like what do you mean I can't drink wine and study classical literature and spend the nights in a countryside mansion with piano echoing through the dark halls and break through the confines of humanity in a bacchanal and commit a string of murders and try to escape but eventually kill myself in a blaze of glory, ultimately shattering the lives of the people around me? That I can't escape the cognitive mode of experience and transcend the accident of my moment of being? That I can't lose my self, lose it utterly? What do you mean I can't live without thinking?

whats absolutely batshit about the new shifttok discourse of "a genetic component to shifting" or "genetic inability to shift" is just. they miss the entire point of shifting. like literally everything about it. they do not know what shifting is. the biggest r/wooosh of them all.

having now actually read the secret history i think it is baffling that this is the book that started the dark academia trend. you guys aren't doing this right at all. the tweed isn't the important part and those motherfuckers barely study. i haven't seen one dark academia influencer mutilate a guy with an axe during a bacchanal.

thinking about how richard papen was so desperate to find somewhere to belong because of the broken family he came from and he was obsessed with the exclusive class and after joining them he started resembling them, picking up their habits and their attitude, all because he wanted a family, to be included, and yet even after he joined them he still remained an outsider up until the very end. “your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing” is so richard papen

The reason I'm shaking my head at Richard is that he should've learnt his lesson in school, not during his second shot at studying in college. Trying to fit into an aloof, mysterious group because you think you're more mature and deeper than everybody else, only to find out that the group in question is not that cool and they only hang out because they're insufferable to everyone else, not exclusive. That's typical middle school experience right there.

One guy desperately trying to squeeze into the group, a homophobe who everyone calls queer, a girl and a boy who have a secret code of communicating, another one who's blatantly gay, one that you can tell will grow up to have an addiction...

There was "the Greek class" in every school.

Henry is not this perfectly composed psychopath that some people like to pretend he is. He loved Bunny, and he hated him, and those two things can and do coexist. Killing Bunny broke something in Henry, or maybe it unearthed something that had always been broken. But he still loved him. That was his best friend and his worst enemy and sometimes those two things aren’t so different. In this essay, I will…

As most people don’t know I just want to say I’m definitely more into shifting than any other spiritual practice as that is something very much apart of my life and I’m indulged in. Not to say I don’t care or want to talk about other stuff but I know way more about shifting and stuff related to that than the void state !!!! I love dicussion about quantum jumping, the multi verse, time, 3D vs 4D, chakras, plus I have so many shifting stories hehe. Don’t get me wrong, I love void discussions, it’s a fascinating thing and other Loa inquires but I also want to talk about shifting more because that’s something I’ve actually mastered 😋😋 I’ve also been in the shifting community for way longer than the void community so I have more years of experience, and have met so many people who have educated me so much more than for example the void state!

Anyways here are my reality shifting tips that I talk about often and can also be applied to manifesting (for those who separate the two concepts) and even the void state or whatever you desire

1. You are limitless.

When I first started I had a bunch of questions about limits and what I can and can’t do, and what are the boundaries I can’t cross after learning about this phenomenon. Now I can say, you make to own rules because you quiete literally are god. If you can intend and imagine it, you can make it your perception and reality. This can be applied to anything, shifting, manifesting, even something as minuscule as playing a sport or passing a test. Society did use to tell us we can do anything if we put our mind to it and to dream big and reach for the sky, but it truly is a real concept I wish they ingrained in us a little more. Unfortunately for society, us being prepared to work 9-5s to give back to the government is more important. You don’t have to follow that path though, you found this for a reason so utilize it to live your dream life. It’s your life and your rules

2. this ties back with point one but the universe doesn’t shift you, because you are the universe

every time I browse shifting communities it’s someone saying you have to shift like this or that.. for the universe, or other false concepts like divine timing Well, the universe doesn’t care respectfully, because we are the universe. You can ask for help from the universe if that’s your belief and manifest your environment to help in your biddings but at the end of the day, it’s all you. This is why when people try to enforce cutting karmic ties, doing shadow work, learning about chakras, giving back to the universe, etc, it can be counter productive to your journey. While that can help SOME PEOPLE… it’s not what everyone needs or should even do. I’m not methodical at all and that stuff didn’t mean much to me and when I tried to force myself to care and it honestly slowed me down and was a waste of time. You know yourself and what you need. So follow your heart and intuition!

3. if I could tattoo this in everyone’s mind I would but feeling is much more important than visualizing or affirmation.

The feeling is the single-handed most important concept that everyone can utilize. A lot of people are bad visualizers and think it’s the end of the world when the feeling is what changes your visualizations into reality. I’m a maladaptive daydreamer so trust me when I took the visualization part and only did that, I got super sad when it didn’t help me shift since it’s something everyone preaches is so important. I wish it was the key to shifting because I would have done it in seconds. But our subconscious can’t tell the difference between images we see in our heads/daydreams and reality, so it’s the feeling that changes the perception and awareness successfully. Someone asked me how to successfully “feel” so I’m just going to explain it here because I think it gets to the point.

It’s hard to feel something you’re not feeling. As for shifting.. that’s the content of knowing you’ll wake up in your dr, but then again if you haven’t shifted yet how would you know what it feels like. To us, it would be pure bliss, and a state of fulfillment, the same as accomplishing a goal. But it’s hard to feel the fulfillment while trying to fulfill it if it makes sense? That’s why most people utilize other things like music, to get to the happy feeling and pretend with that by using methods like the sunny or Estelle method but to me, that stuff is distracting so I just had to practice and enhance my “smelling, hearing, and tasting”

I think it’s easier to pretend to feel and see (as in the sense of feel) but it’s harder to try to feel like you’re smelling your dr, tasting food in your dr, and hearing other people in your dr. I would try visual practices like pretending to eat an apple. For me I’m a great visualizer (again I’m a maladaptive daydreamer) but could you get yourself to taste the apple and hear yourself eating the apple. And maybe feel annoyed because to me the crunch of an apple is so annoying lol. Could you embody the state of being annoyed?

Oh, yea also practices using the first person. That’s something I also struggled with because I like watching my visualizations but that’s not my feeling. That’s seeing, and you should use all 5 senses together

In short don’t just feel the happiness you know you would have, utilize your 5 senses in your imagination when trying to shift, it will bring you closer to your home.

4. stop running away from your problems under the guise of the law of assumption.

For a long time, I ignored my reality and would pretend oh “I’m going to shift anyways so it doesn’t matter” you’re not assuming you’re going to shift if you’re hoping to do it. I would say I assume it will happen then hope and beg for the universe to shift me. you can’t gaslight yourself to not have doubts lol and you may be saying you’re going to shift but again feelings trump affirmations and you feel in your heart you won’t so that’s your reality. Now I know a lot of people on here have hard-lives, it’s why and how a lot of people found shifting. But seriously try manifesting a better current reality you’re aware of while trying to shift. Manifesting and shifting are two sides of the same coin and you can easily intertwine them to benefit you both ways. Find what works for you. You’ll have a better time assuming you’ll shift when you’re not clouded with stress from your cr and the sadness you get from it. (Not saying you can’t shift if you’re sad depressed or have doubts, You can) I’m saying it helps to not feel a weighing pressure to shift to escape, instead of shifting to escape for your eternal happiness.

5. There is nothing wrong with escapism

This is such a huge discussion in the community and such a stupid one at that. Every form of entertainment is a source of escape. Watching tv, vacations, having friends, sleeping. It’s a normal part of the human psyche, why should we be forced to only work, go to school, and sleep and have that be are only life. Shifting can be for escaping! It is, wether you do it temporarily or permanently, and THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. You shouldn’t be forced to stay here with everything wrong with the world, especially after you shift once you just know there’s so much better life out there for you. You are not confined to any reality, nor are you forced to stay anywhere you are not happy and anyone who tells you otherwise can shut their mouth. There is nothing wrong with change, and finding what makes you happy. The only thing wrong is staying where you’re not appreciated or happy when you have access to other sources. Please don’t let anyone gaslight you into feeling bad for prioritizing yourself and well being.

6.Lastly this ties back to the last point but find a support group whether in real or online

I know not everyone finds this to be some huge journey but I think we can all agree it’s become a huge part of your life. Find people to talk to not only about your journey but anything at all. I’ve made great shifting friends and they’re the only reason I’m coming back before I perma shift! I want to help them with their journeys before I go as well as all the amazing people on this subreddit who helped me.

Special note: All methods lead to shifting and manifesting successfully <3 behind every successful shifting method is a strong intention by the user of said method. All methods are doors to your desires, just choose which one you want to open, and don’t over complicate it! If you think your method work it will work.

that’s it. anything else could fall back into one of these categories! If one resonated with you, or all six or even 0, that’s fine! You’ll find what works for you as you go along but if this helps even one person I’ll be happy. sorry if it’s too long. I tried to keep it short and concise, cause I could probably go all day
