This entire thread is not only nonsense but damaging to people. The devil does not "exist", per se. The devil exists just as much as the tooth fairy. The intent behind the idea of them does exist. You cannot sell your soul to the devil you can only believe you have and end up in a state of...

If by saying that you are an atheist you also mean that you disbelieve in all aspects of the paranormal including life after death and reincarnation, and that this disbelief is truly your subconsciously held belief system, then after death you will continue to exist but, in accordance with your bel...

Two-way street. You get what you put into it too. Obviously it can be less balanced in your favour depending upon circumstance (teacher quality).

Studying the placebo effect is very difficult.

Because demons exist in the mind not physical reality (IMO).

In modern times people often look to "aliens" to explain these inner happenings if they are not religiously inclined.

I'm with Socrates ... I think of death like an unopened gift. It may be empty, it may not? Why worry about it?

Unfortunatly you get what they put in you too.

Untrue.

School systems leave a lot to be desired. I know a guy who studied neurosciences and basically said that they just teach you not to think for yourself, but to adhere to their way of thinking in order to pass. I do not think this is the case for every individual. It has to be said though we have all ...

I equate *paying* for school to getting a job. There is literally less than 0 reason to pay all that money to just fuck yourself on any return. Student loans never go away. You don't comprehend what I write. Okay. I guess there could be a difference because I am not from the US where I understand s...

Not at all. You equate going to college with getting a job. I do not.

The thread is about learning. It is in the OP.

Haelos - (although it's pointless if I'm not going to be working in the field I'm studying. I'd like to just *go* to college without actually being enrolled, do the homework and stuff. Just so I can learn.) That is nonsense!! Learning does not have to have anything to do with your job or finding a j...

Get a reasonable knowledge of mathematics and sciences before venturing into occult topics or you'll more or less likely delude yourself into thinking one thing is more accurate when basic scientific knowledge can show you otherwise.

It is pretty well known that it is not genuine. The question is who did it and why ?

I was under the assumption that Ceremonial Magick was absolutely nothing to do with physical Ceremony? I thought you set the "environment" in your mind and worked from there. To actually "build a house" for Ceremonial Magick just seems funny to me! The trap is to take the instruc...

No.

Just as the title says.

What do you think the purpose was and who wrote it ?

They have not just discovered the placebo effect?

McClenon was suggesting how this effect could be used in modern medicine. His point was that some people respond much better than others to the placebo effect and if we could somehow use this in a broad practical sense.
