Inception - Casting a Spell on a Loved One

Spoiler Warning!! If you haven't seen the film Inception and intend to then you may want to read this blog entry later as it contains some content which reveals certain parts of the film's plot.

In Inception there is a basic premiss that it is possible to enter into people's minds through their dreams and that once in there it is possible to access their secrets through influencing them within the dream state.  Taking this a step further the hero Cobb is engaged to plant an idea in someone's head in order to influence their future behaviour.

To me, that is one way to look at casting a love spell.  If you are casting a love spell on a specific person then what you are attempting to do is influence another person's choices by magical or energetic or other worldly means.  You are attempting to plant an idea in their mind that you are hoping will grow into love for you.  Or you may be sending out a more general love spell to attract someone who is soulmate without prescribing a particular person but aiming to create the necessary energy/magic to bring them into your life and allows you to recognise each other.  I strongly believe that the second approach is more likely to bring you success and infinitely more likely to result in long-term happiness and love.

Back to the film (SPOILER ALERT!), in Inception Cobb admits to planting an idea in his wife's head as part of the dream-work they were doing.  His wife was convinced that they should stay in the dream-state and he planted an idea which he hoped would help her to return to the "real" world.  Unfortunately she took this idea, and because of the way she interpreted it, she could not live back in "reality" when they returned.

I believe that trying to influence specific people by way of spells is not the best approach to take and could lead to a similar "misinterpretation" of the spells intention.  If you approach spells from the stance of "I am here, I am open to love and I will accept and embrace my soulmate when the time is right", then I believe that you will truly meet your soulmate.  If you do focus on a specific person as your target for love then you are more likely to experience some sort of rebellion, from them or the universal energy, as you are trying to shape the world around you rather than use the universally available energy to attract your soulmate in whatever form you need to be happy.  I guarantee that the universe, your god/goddess, etc. know better than you who your soulmate is and when you are ready to connect.

Blessings to you on your journey of attraction and discovery.
