I'm going to have more to file in my journal henceforth, Bob. And it could get interesting. I have to make a note not to include if every crazy things I dream or experience in my mental wanderings.

Dreams and intuition can be a stronger superpower than super strength or X-ray vision. They can take you places flying can't, and give you knowledge your super hearing misses.

Early morning in REM sleep I caught myself asking a faceless, nameless innkeeper, Is there a place for my horse... [ More ]

I'll try the island! I lived on an island for a time. Went duck hunting on an island somewhere in Maryland with a bunch of Squids (Popeyes, sailors, Navy personnel). We didn't shoot many. We drank a lot and played guitar around a campfire.

There are several types accesses. Catheter ports that everyone starts with. Then they put a fistula in which requires needles. Either you do it or they do. The self mutilation access port still requires needles inserted in the artery and vein. I'm not int... [ More ]

The file cabinet comes from the same place as your clothing, etc. If you don't already own one, stop by a office supply and acquaint yourself with one. I suggest a wood one as it's natural substance. Give it a good look, touch it, run your hand over it as if you were considering purchase. You aren't locked into a file cabinet, your laptop would serve just as well. When comfortable, imagine yourself on a tropical beach or forest glade, etc. Lounging on a hammock or folding lounge chair, look up a... [ More ]

This would be a best of best discussion, probably not for here though, with the multitude of mindless monkey quotes.

I've heard or read something about finding the info you want in a file cabinet. I can't recall anyone ever explaining how to locate the file cabinet.

I only started playing with this idea at dialysis. I had a nurse who said, the mind can't focus on two things at once.

I do not like needles. Especially large needles stuck in any part of my body. And she told me if you... [ More ]

As I've found I cannot read anything but the largest text in dreams, as in I can read or gork the Out of Order sign on the restroom doors in dream land, when I really need to get up and go. Still, out of body, someone once said to imagine opening a file cabinet, taking out a paper and learning the winning draw numbers from it. We do need to separate out the excuses of charlatans from the reality of what may be possible for some.

I'm with you Bob. I chatter on the lighter side, but getting a curious interest in the subject. Hogwart Harry doesn't catch so much as the CIA parapsychology.

There are experiences people, some claiming you can't, some claiming you can, travel through time in an out of body experience. They do agree that you can't read number or letters when out of the body.

Movies and television seem to agree as well. And time we see a precog or clairvoyant helping someone they can describe the event,... [ More ]

2 Chronicles 7:14

Realizing this thread is starting to look like a Calvin and Hobs story arc where one needed to start learning magick in grade school so as to take revenge on all those who said I'll amount to nothing, by winning the lottery and buying the school where they work and firing them all for incompetence, or I'll blow up this planet and take everyone with me. You with me Hobs?

Divination seeks knowledge about hidden matters or the future.

Magic attempts to influence supernatural forces to achieve desired outcomes.

Together, they form a fascinating intersection of human curiosity and mystical exploration!

Mathematics and divination have parallel roles as different epistemologies .

Basically, epistemology is the explanation of how a person thinks. It helps a person differentiate between truth and lie . Epistemolo... [ More ]

Doing a quick search you'll find a supposed CIA document along these lines. It actually deal with higher conscious but touches on mind over matter. It discusses an experiment at the Monroe Institute, offered now as an online class ($1120) for the course

The bibliography lists books and articles about journeys out if the body, mystic spirals, and altered states of consciousness. All were publishes before 1983 so whether they are available or not is a question.

It's worth looking into imo... [ More ]

I knew a lot of Korean people who said they had actually seen some of the events that happened in Big Trouble in Lillte China.

I sprn 2 + tours in Korea and lived there as a civilian for some months. When guys were rotating back to the states we took them to a Korean fortune teller amd a lot of them walked opit of there completely freaked out.

Magick, like Aleister Crowley, English occultist, philosopher, and founder of a religion. Some called him the devil incarnate. I read a bit about him years ago (when Supernatural was on television).

I don't want to conjure chicken sandwiches though. Learning magick to eat should be worth a bar-b-qued brisket, potato salad and beans. With ribs and sausage too.

Real magic, the kind where you wiggle your nose like Samantha would be more to my liking. Having a genie like Jeanie, would be all... [ More ]

Interesting, are you suggesting Big Trouble In Little China isn't based on actual events? Would seem education by entertainment is misdirection. That there is a tact agreement between the magic world and the magick (comes up as misspelled) world where there is no limit on what magic can do in media, while magick seems more like the Law of Attraction (in my opinion).

Wonder if any of the rules of magic apply, such as it takes more energy to magic up a chicken salad sandwich then one gets ba... [ More ]

Magic is the art of illision.

Magic k is real and what most people are rhinking of when they see magic performed.

I'd like to keep an open mind. May be a secret society of magicians as in the movie Now You See Me. Of course those guys were street magicians, unlike Harry and his castle crew.

Riding broomsticks? Probably not.although I do have my kids genuine replica Harry Pottery wand made from real wood if I ever find myself confronted by Voldemort. To my knowledge nothing ever flew off shelves or metamorphed when it was in use. But perhaps I'm ignorant in the How to and proper words to enunciate. Or j... [ More ]

Magic and the Harry Potter Lottery

BobP — Mon, 04 Mar 2024 02:06:18 GMT

For over a hundred years the entertainment industry has been bombarding us with monsters, witches and more, begging the question. Does real magic actually exist? Not really talking the Charmed, Harry Potter, David Copperfield stuff. Does even the smallest of magic exist? Again not powers like in Ghost. Our society is based on magic not existing because it would collapse were it to be true. If magic were real, could it be used to win the lottery? In many ways the lottery is already constructed to...
