No, you didn't post in the wrong place. The GR forum is visible to everyone and so you'll get more people who just come into a discussion to ridicule or be obnoxious rather than participate in the discussion. The "Other Religons" forum is only visible if you have "Other" checked on your profile under religion.

No.

Cool, and thanks for that info. I corrected my settings and can now see that forum..Hmmmmmm.................Interesting.

Bush won a second term, That was MAJIC!!!

LOL...actually come to think of it that was some serious chicanery there....

Not majic planned all the way... but listen to Chris Rock when he talks about Bush.. That man is so stupid and screwed things up so bad a Black man won..

I find it so disconcerting that in this day and age, in the 21st century, humans still believe in such superstitious nonsense as "magic" or "magick" or however you want to spell it.
Or religion, for that matter.

Humans really like to believe in a something, an anything, as long as it gives them some feeling of control over their lives.

Humanity will never grow up.

I believe that Bell's Theorem explains magic good enough for me.

I wonder if many of these people are just playing in their speech, and how many others are just using language in a more metaphoric manner.

As a yoga practitioner I know first hand that various fanciful, non-reality based 'models' can be amazingly powerful tools in shaping your minds relation with itself, or with the body, which in turn can have stunning consequences in the material world. It all reduces to physiology and psychology, but the pretense of fanciful systems can have value; I only see drawbacks when people mistakes these models as real.

Magic made appear here....... .
There is none......only tricks .

I agree, the term "magick" (or magic) is ill-defined by most people. They have no clue what they even mean by that word.

If you look at Christianity it's full of magic. Everything that Christian God ever did was magic. Jesus was born of a virgin, that would have been magic. Jesus supposedly cast evil spirits out of people who were possessed by them. That would have been magic.

Guardian angels are magic.

A God who answers prayers is magic.

Of course, we don't see the latter happen very much. At least no more than would occur with random probabilities. Pray for enough stuff you're bound to hit the jackpot once in a while.

Of course, if we simply look around at the fact that we exist.

Well, isn't that proof that magic exists?

The mere fact that anything exists is proof that magic exists. For how could anything have ever come to be in the first place if not for an act of magic?

Well said Abracadabra! We all have benifitted from Magick in our lives at one point or another,some just are more aware of it than others. Come on people! Don't you remember any of the wonderment of your childhood? You were fresh,untainted then and open to the universe. You just forgot how magick feels when you grew up and the fast paced technological world swept you away.

I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toys R Us kid.........

Majick is very real. This fabric of reality is knitted of it, says Mother Spider. There is no White or Black. In majick there are no dualities, only singularity. Majick should not be used on people! But, if you choose to take on the others' karma, so be it with you.

...and grow up to what might I ask?

No...Jesus is Real:)

I dont feel I need to "Grow Up", but I respect your position. fact is I myself often ask "why dont they just grow up?". indeed, there are ALOT of folks on this planet that act and behaive like superstitious little children. I aint one of em.
see, ALOT of folks hear me ask a question about magic and immediately picture Merlin casting a spell from a cave or tower. thus they assume I am a superstious little child and scoff. they go on about how evolved they are because they belive in nothing, and thats cool, I respect they have a right to theyre opinion.
But, I have to point out again that this response is based upon a assumption regarding what Im asking. Im not talking about Merlin, Im talking about manipulateing emotional response's to alter directions of events thus altering reality to ones own benefit. or as some of us call it The Desired End Result.
as far as proof of Magic, well, next time your favorite song comes on stop and think about how you feel and how that affects your surroundings.Emotional response reflected upon an enviorment thus changeing the enviorment.....you get the idea.

is it real? sure, a real illusion. does it work? fools most of us. like these easy ones.
