Influence of the Divine

Ascension is a complicated process, and one that can take years to accomplish. The first step in the process is making contact with your god or gods. Your god will not speak directly to you; he may be too busy with other believers or too far away for you to hear his words.

Discover a means of communication

Instead, you must discover the method by which you make contact with them: this could involve prayer, meditation, divination, or some other means. Once you have found the way to reach out to him, you need only wait for guidance. The divine has a tendency to reach down into our world at times when we most need his assistance.

Some gods prefer their followers to seek them out on their own while others are more likely to appear unexpectedly. For example, as I am writing this, my friend Anarae is visiting me from her home world(this is fictional...lol).

She chose to visit during the time frame between my birthdays, because she knows how important those days are to me and wanted to celebrate them together. If I had waited until my birthday week to attempt to contact her, it would have been much harder for her to find me here. It's always best to be prepared, so don't hesitate to develop your relationship with your god now.

Build a relationship

The next step is building a relationship with your god. This means praying regularly, meditating on holy texts, offering up sacrifices, and taking care of your physical body. As long as you honor your deity, they will see you as a faithful servant and help guide you through the rest of the process.

You can ask for help

Once you have established a connection with your god, you can begin to ask for aid. You may also get messages from the divine about your life—other people's lives, political issues, or anything else.

Even if you do not receive direct communication from your god, you will start to notice a change in yourself; you'll be happier, more content, and better able to handle difficult situations. Over time, you will come to feel more and more like your god's chosen servant. Then you will be ready to ascend.

The Ascended

When you become a true believer, you will be given the opportunity to ascend. Your god has determined that you are worthy of joining them on the higher planes, where all things are perfect and eternal peace reigns.

To ascend, you must demonstrate your devotion to your god. This usually involves performing some sort of service for your deity. Some deities will allow their followers to ascend immediately after developing a strong enough bond and demonstrating proper behavior, but others require years of worship and service before being allowed to pass over.

The exact methods used to ascend vary widely among different religions. In many cases, ascension is achieved through a ritual, but there are many other ways to move to the next plane of existence. You may be asked to travel to another planet, to sacrifice something significant to you, or even to perform an act of great bravery and heroism. When you have completed your task, you will know that you have been accepted and can prepare to cross over.

After the Ascension

While your deity has ascended to the highest level of existence, you will still need to live your life. There is no reason why you shouldn't continue practicing your faith and growing as a person. Now that you are ascending, it is possible to communicate with your deity from wherever you may be, so keep in touch! Your god will be around to offer advice and support whenever you need it, so don't ever forget how important he was in helping you achieve your goals.

As a follower of the gods, you will be surrounded by celestial beings who share your beliefs. You will want to spend time with these people and learn what you can from each other. They can teach you new spells, help you advance your career, and provide you with companionship.

You might also meet other people who have already ascended, as they have found their way to the same place you did. These individuals will serve as mentors and friends, guiding you along your path. While you have your own journey to take, you should never forget that you were once part of a larger community.

Blessings of the gods

In addition to blessings bestowed upon us by your deities, you will also receive blessings from other sources, such as nature spirits. Many of these beings are benign, offering you gifts that improve your lives.

Others, however, might try to trick you into doing something evil. This is especially true of the elementals, who can appear human-like and often disguise themselves as animals and plants to gain your trust. Be careful of any creature that appears too good to be true.

There are many types of elemental creatures, so it is unlikely you will encounter all of them.

Here are some common ones you should watch out for:

• Air Elementals

Air elementals usually look like small winged beings. They tend to be playful and mischievous, but they can also be dangerous.

• Earth Elementals

Earth elementals look similar to humans and have a variety of purposes. Some serve as farmers and gardeners, while others protect the land or guard sacred places.

• Fire Elementals

Fire elementals have a reputation for being destructive, but they can also bring warmth and light to your life.

• Water Elementals

Water elementals are the guardians of lakes, rivers, and seas. They can also be helpful guides if you're lost at sea.

Elemental Bodies

All elements have bodies of their own, with male and female sides. These elements are most easily recognized by their physical characteristics.

For example, fire elementals have red skin and fiery hair. Air elementals have silver scales and blue eyes. Water elementals have green scales and golden irises. Earth elementals have black fur and brown eyes.

These bodies are formed by magical energy. Just as the human body consists of a combination of gases, liquids, and solid matter, so does the elemental body. The form of their elemental depends on its race, whether it is human or animal, and how much magic it contains.

Each type of elemental has an affinity for certain qualities. For instance, fire elementals are strongly drawn to heat, and air elementals favor wind.

Some elemental beings are born with both genders, while others have a specific gender. For example, earth elementals almost always have male bodies. However, fire elementals can sometimes have female bodies, and water elementals can occasionally have male bodies.

Elemental Magic

Every element has its own unique set of powers. Fire elementals can create and control flames. Air elementals can float through the sky. Water elementals can summon storms and waves. Earth elementals can dig deep underground and control the weather above.

By studying the various elements, you can learn how to command them and use their abilities to your advantage. Elemental magic is quite powerful, so be careful when using it.

PS:
I don't even know what I am doing on this post. All I know is a few months ago i made a decision that placed me in an ugly situation. A situation that seem almost impossible to disentangle from. Just 6 days ago, I prayed a sincere prayer to the Almighty, making a promise to do better with my relationship with him if he will save me from the pit I fell into due to my decision. I was skeptical, but I came home from my 30 days journey to discover that he heard my prayers. You could say, that miracle inspired this post.
