For people that follow this NAP subforum, or have been using Elubatel's invocation to bring success, it comes as no big surprise when I say that you're in for a crazy ride.
When I did it last year, I was very frustrated with my life. I had been studying Law for quite a while, doing the degree slowly as I was not very motivated and was working full-time at the same time. I had a job in a call-center to pay my bills and normal needs. I've been wondering for the last years about what I was doing with my life and how could I achieve something better, more in tune with myself and my true potencial.
I had read some accounts about Elubatel, and how it started by destroying the old to make space for the new. I just couldn't imagine how precise those accounts were.
For those of you that care about the details, I use NAP in a very simple way. I relax a little bit with breathing, then read the ritual as you are supposed to, let it "come to the surface", read the invocation, let some minutes pass to "let it go" and that's it. I never felt any kind of issue, never needed banishings, never used any other part of NAP tools.
First thing that started happening is that my job became a huge burden. First, I could not stop thinking that I should be doing something else, that my time wasn't to be traded for money alone. We all have these thoughts when we work just for money, but I was suddenly having them every 5 minutes. Every day of work became so tiring. Then they changed my supervisor to a guy who made my life a living hell, bullying me even. After some months I couldn't take it anymore and asked to be fired which they ended up doing in the end of December 2014.
So I was without a job, and had decided to stop studying law as well. It was clear to me that I did not want to work in Law, and that I did not want to end the degree at this point in my life. So all of a sudden, no job, and no studies. So I slept for 3 months. I never realised how tired I was. It was like I've been dreaming all my life and was waking up slowly and painfully. Then in April, my money savings were very low. I had refused several jobs that concerned friends tried to get me stating very proudly that "I won't be getting back to the same vicious cycle". But now here I was, broke, depressed and with no ideas.
I remembered an idea I had before. That I should go play my flute on the streets for the experience. As many other ideas like that, I often had fantasies but never did anything. This time, I just did it. I had nothing else to do, nothing to lose. I got 3 simple tunes ready, and went the next day to Sintra to play. Sintra is a very romantic place so I thought it could be cool to play the flute there.
I had to fight against myself to even get into the train to Sintra. Then to start playing. After some minutes of nervousness I fled into a park to rehearse again as I couldn't remember any of the tunes. Then a guy passed and threw me 20 cents. I looked at that coin and realised "what the hell, let's just do it", and went back to the spot I was before and played the same tunes for hours. At the end of the day I had made almost 20 euros. It was nothing but it felt like pure gold. That money was really mine, I got it directly, no company, no wages, no taxes, no whatevers. Just pure direct money. So I decided to do it again. And again. And again.
What happened next can be described as getting a degree on myself and reality. Playing on the streets became a passion and a permanent lesson. There is not a day where I don't learn something new. My social skills improved dramatically, as did my perception of the world and people. Suddenly I realised I got the job I always dreamed off:
Working anywhere I want
Independent
Free
Connected with people
For the first time in my life I had people daily telling me "you inspire me", and I could look at myself with dignity. Through all this process I had a lot of very hard moments that felt like necessary lessons to evolve fast enough to achieve this. It always felt like an invisible hand was manipulating events in order for me to become more aware of what I was and what I could achieve and how.
In one year, I changed from the depressed, frustrated chump, to a free, independent man. And it is only the beginning.
So in my humble opinion, Elubatel can be a great experience if you are willing to let go, and take obstacles as blessings in disguise.
So thank you Elubatel, NAP and all the people here that led me to this. Feel free to ask anything. And if you see a flutist on a rock, throw him your best coin.
