It’s because more than one people told me expect from the practitioner and the keeper, spirit don’t trust others and even won’t easier get touch with others.
I mean spirit are open to bound, people who read a post and pay could bound with a spirit. But if initially spirit is only close to practitioner, why they are open to either one to become their keeper? Take me as an example, I am the one who could rarely offer candle / incense because my family not allowed to, and I might spend less time to talk to them and sometime even forgotten their existence, and I am not the one with great physic ability and not working hard to increase those ability. So, I don’t understand why my spirit took those risk to bound to me, maybe they can have a better keeper, like the keeper is a practitioner, or the keeper with sensitive sense of the spirit world. Why always people chose the spirit, but not spirit chose who to bound?
I think it is easy to assume that we "buy" the bindings with the spirits or entities bound in them, but it's quite the exact opposite. They chose us first, and we purchased their bindings later. So like Lewk said, give yourself some credits.
I saw it firsthand. Spirits and entities got sold almost immediately after being uploaded within 5-10 minutes, but there was this entity who spent all day on the site. I don't think nobody chose her. But she didn't choose them. And she turned out to be a friend of my elf's. She contacted the conjurer to put up her own listing for me. So it was me who she had already chosen. I could have given more examples, but I think one will suffice. People aren't the ones who choose their spirits, it's the other way around.
Just because you don't have the same experience as others, it doesn't mean that you're any less capable of achieving greatness. I've been quoted multiple times here, given attitudes, and some told me what I shouldn't do instead of providing reasons. It's important to remember that those people won't contribute to our journeys at all. We are all at different stages in our journeys and we should be patient with ourselves and each other.
Don't talk down to yourself. It is a blessing to have been chosen. It is you they feel close to, and it's you they want to guide.
I have multiple spirits, who have worked with practitioners before. They chose to work with me. I don't have fancy abilities listed above. Lol. Zero. None. And I don't practice. So there's that. It's not that the spirit doesn't trust others; it's just that once bound to a Keeper, they're completely loyal to that one person. Why would they trust the next random person?
You may feel that you are not doing enough for them, but remember that they help you out of love, without expecting anything in return. Just because you don't do these ABC things, which I'm sure they knew before they came home to you, doesn't mean they should stop helping you. You shouldn't feel bad about it.
