I’m Writing A Book About the Paranormal Industry, But…
1. I’ve been doing my own research and study and such, but I’d like to hear your opinions too. Do you have any interesting stories related to this industry?
4. Opinions and interesting stories are two different things. You should earn interesting stories by getting out there and finding them.
5 (OP). I’m doing that too. It’s interesting how most stories need their finer details changed or else things might go bad.
6. The paranormal world? I’m only interested in the development of potential abilities that use a logical process, like what Masaki Kazumi and Shichida Makoto did.
How about Okinawa? You’d wanna trample all over the yuta’s spiritual training grounds, right? It’s said that if you step foot on Kouri Island, then you’ll die a gruesome death.
What I find interesting about the paranormal world is sacred land or places haunted by divine spirits where you instantly die a horrible death.
Other than Okinawan sacred places, I’m already interested in Mount Moriya. That’s in Nagano. The Iga clan, that is, the monks who went into that then unexplored land in Nagano, gained immense power, and when they came back down, it’s said they all became high priests.
There’s a theory regarding Okinawa’s sacred sites, and that’s whether the spirits related to those are divine or normal. It’s said that they perhaps become divine spirits by rooting themselves to the energy located in the earth’s veins (but then they can never move on from that particular spot). Apparently even living humans can do the same thing too.
Supposedly Oyama Kaizuka is the strongest. Well, it has been around since before people existed, since mythological times, so nobody can touch it. Nobody can handle it.
As for spirits of the deceased, these don’t have sacred sites or anything of the sort to begin with. They just turn mountains and parts of nature into sanctuaries for them.
8 (OP). I don’t think publishers are looking for books on how to develop abilities that much either honestly. The people I spoke to also wouldn’t tell me how to do it either.
10. When I think of spiritual stories, I don’t really picture divine spirits, like you break a taboo, then lighting runs through your body and you have to summon Kannon riding a dragon to calm the the unruly divine spirit and such.
14. >>10 I think you could write a more interesting book than OP.
16. Now this is an interesting thread.
17. >>1 Let me know when you publish your book.
18. I guess there aren’t any folks from the industry here, huh?
19. I don’t know much about it, but I think there’s a publishing board, right? Generally you’ll only find kids here on the occult boards. I don’t think people with paranormal abilities would actually come here, they’d be too busy with their actual work.
20. Well the paranormal industry and the publishing industry are different, aren’t they?
