Hello brothers, many great experiences and advice in this thread, and I'm glad to see many of you have had some results with NAP.
I want to chime in with my experience with NAP yesterday evening.
I binge read the first 80 or so pages last night, after learning about it here on the forum. I was shocked by how well it was thought out, (I even enjoyed the testimonials).
I did not feel like attempting a ritual as I was quite tired. My S.O convinced me to try it after a bit of chatting, as I usually complain that I read too much, but don't practice enough. I decided to give it a go, even if it didn't work, at least I would be relaxed.
I had a question in mind about when a particular event would come to pass, and decided the best way to do this was through the relaxation ritual, then calling on a "magic mentor" and asking if he had a date in mind.
I did the ritual up to point A, did the chanting, and called out to the mentor as the book instructed. I then felt the "tickling of the ant" as described in the book.
As I did this, I felt compelled to envisioned myself walking through a large wooden door, then as I did I saw another larger door with 3 round seals on it, clearly locked. I couldn't make out what they looked like unfortunately.
As I chanted each time one lit up blue, and turned slowly unlocking the door. I walked in.
I came into the room with two chairs and a table in the center of the room, the floor was checkered, and the walls empty and brown, with 2 candelabras on either side of the table. There was a bearded grey old wizard in the seat across from where I eventually sat down. He had a starry robe and a pointed hat. He looked like any other generic old wizard (just google wizard if you want a good example), but had a calming presence and wasn't moving.
I am not sure if this is a normal thing for this sort of being to appear as, but perhaps it was a comforting form for me to converse with on my first attempt?
The wizard didn't speak until I spoke to him, I asked the following:
Q1: What are you?
A1: Well, I'm you, but I'm also another person.
Q2: What can you do to help me?
A2: I can see the future, tell you hidden things, and help direct you to the right path.
Q3: *Asking about specific date of event*
A3: *Scrolling red text flashes across my vision, I see a date in the future. He does not speak the answer. I ask for confirmation and he does not answer.*
Q4: What is your name?
A4: (name I have chosen to leave out, not sure how to spell it he just spoke it)
Q5: Will I ever get promoted at work in my current company?
A5: No.
Having run out of things to ask and being a bit taken aback by the experience, I thanked him for his time and said my goodbyes, he nodded and said "You're welcome". I walked out the door I had come in, and promptly "came back" from the ritual.
I have a few things about this experience that confused me, but ultimately it was a warm and positive conversation. I will definitely try this one again, as I read further into the book. From the other comments here it seems like there are other pieces of the ritual to be added later on.
