Questions regarding otherkin, and on a somewhat unrelated note, Force-realism

I may have misplaced this topic in the wrong forum, I'm not sure. It's partially a reintroduction, a statement of intent, a question... it fulfills various functions, but primairily a method to work this out of my system and perhaps get some feedback on it.

I joined this website somewhere last year. My intention was to follow the Initiate Programme, as offered on this website and enrich my life. Funny enough life happened, I got afraid of the consequences that were coming and decided to run away. During my time living sheltered from life and trying to deal with the aftermath of that choice, such as depression, debt and otherwise uncomfortable and negative aspects of a choice I made... I felt abandoned by Deity... by life... by everything.

Recently, however, I made a different choice after I think I got a sign from the Kemetic Deity Hethert, or Hathor as She may be more better known. I'm still not sure whether it is Her... whether Netjer in general exist.. whether I'm crazy or not. But the fact that I interprented it as Her reaching out means a lot to me.

It's a step on a way for me to work on the life I desire a reality... and a side step on that path is why I made this topic. As I want to internalize the lessons offered here, even though I feel more association to the philosophy perscribed to the Sith, rather than Jedi, in the Lore. Mostly the self betterment and facing the inner demons on a constructive, pro-active method, rather than stagnating in attempts to find enlightenment.

Therefore I offer my own knowledge in exchange for yours... which, if any, of the lessons offered here would be the most benefitial to start with from a, I suppose, Sith philosophy approach towards Force realism, rather than a Jedi philosophy approach?

Also, any questions regarding otherkin/therianthropy posted here, I'll answer to the best of my knowledge. I do this as potential reward for the knowledge offered by this website, while working on decreasing my dishonesty and sheltered existence towards the world at the same time.

We view Jedi/Sith a little different here....

Don't view everything as so "black and white"...

philosophy perscribed to the Sith, rather than Jedi, in the Lore. Mostly the self betterment and facing the inner demons on a constructive, pro-active method, rather than stagnating in attempts to find enlightenment.

Yea, the pro-active/stagnation happens to individuals, more than the philosophies...

People get scared, get lazy, take breaks and don't come back....

I personally recommend the IP as it is...

I'm partial to the layout...

I can see how individuals may be more pro-active or stagnated than the philosophies themselves. However upon reading both codes as used in the Star Wars lore (as that's currently my only go to force-realism wise), the Jedi philosophy seems more partial towards the intrinsic strengths and balance, whereas the Sith philosophy strifes towards the extrinsic and intrinsic advancement in a continuous state of attacking ones' weaknesses.

Thanks for the reply. I'll be certain to follow the recommended path then unless alternative suggestions start to make more sense.

I see....

We, I won't say "shy away" from the fiction, but we reference it seldom, lol....

Many other groups are more into the fiction, which is really just not something the majority of our members care about....

We all used it for inspiration, but, stopped before we took it as law/canon...

If that's true then I will probably follow in that same fashion once I'm exposed to better sources.

I don't particularly see it as law, canon or the biggest inspiration. Presently I only have lore-based material as the sole material, having not underwent that initiate programme or anything similar. Hence making it both the only literature I can go off of to communicate my impressions in a compareable method and serving as the basic framework from which to possibly expand said notions.

I feel like I lost your questions along the way. Are you asking for guidance in terms of how to interpret whether a god or goddess is calling out to you? Are you asking how we view the Sith as in opposition to the Jedi?

I've at various times used elements of Sith fiction to work concepts around, often they end up being absorbed into my Jedi path.

I think Jestor has my other thoughts covered... but if you wanted to talk to someone about the Netjer please feel free to message me, I have some experience in that area, mostly with Set but others too. I am agnostic now but some of what I know might help.

Both are questions that I try to find answers to in some degree. However, I'm trying to get in contact with the House of Netjer for answers on the first. As for the second part... I'm more asking which aspects of the initiate programme, if any, would be more applicable for somebody viewing this path from a perspective that's more in line with the lore-based Sith code, rather then lore-based Jedi code. My framework being lore based is more a reflection on me not having a non-lore Force perspective yet.

I appreciate the offer greatly, however I think that my questions regarding Netjer may be better asked to Shemsu or other members from the Kemetic community. Mostly because I believe I desire the answers to be from somebody who's actively working with those energies.

You might consider rolling over to the Sith forums if you want to help blend those concepts into your life. ToTJO use to have a Sith forum, but as I recall it's since been deactivated. You might be able to find some of the people that were part of that group still hanging around though.
