Proxying - Spirit Work Topics
Proxying refers to the concept that there are infinitely many spirits, so we have to be careful in how we approach them or we may be meeting someone different than who we intended to work with.
One of the core ideas behind proxying is that there are functionally infinite entities that can be contacted because there are infinitely many ways to frame, understand, and experience reality. Even a slight shift in perspective can lead to a different contact. Because of this, I divide entities into four broad categories: spirits, conceptics, systemics, and forces. I am a fairly scattered person and will probably have future additions to those categories; I have never committed my beliefs to writing before.
Spirits are consciousnesses that exist as beings. These include ancestors, discarnate entities, guides, and other intelligences that are not currently embodied in a physical form. They are individuals, even if they can present themselves through many masks or aspects.
Conceptics are conscious concepts, perspectives, identities, and cognitive maps. A conceptic is not the territory itself but the way the territory is understood. They are the living forms of ideas, emotions like love, interpretations, viewpoints, archetypes, narratives, identities, philosophies, and symbolic frameworks. The idea of motherhood, a political ideology, a personality trait, a cultural identity, or a particular understanding of psychology would all be conceptics.
Systemics are conscious systems. These are structured realities that exist regardless of whether humans discover them. Mathematics, logic, geometry, language structures, classification systems, and other organized frameworks belong to this category. A systemic is not merely an idea about a system; it is the system itself as an existing pattern.
Forces are conscious forces that operate within reality. Fertility, luck, famine, growth, decay, transformation, and similar phenomena belong to this category. Unlike conceptics, forces are not primarily ways of understanding reality. They are active powers that shape reality itself.
The distinction between conceptics and forces is subtle but important. Identity as an experience, perspective, or cognitive framework is conceptic. Identity as a force that causes differentiation, selfhood, and boundaries within reality would be a force. Likewise, the concept of love is conceptic, while love as a real phenomenon that draws things together is a force.
Because each category can be viewed from infinitely many angles, there are effectively infinite manifestations of every entity. A tiny change in framing may result in contacting a different aspect, interpretation, or expression. This is why precise naming during contact with an entity is important. The more specifically an entity is defined, the easier it becomes to return to the same contact rather than a neighboring one. I will explain proxying in greater detail in my spirit work guides.
