Hi, Just to add... seems others are asking the same as you: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-20145664 Steve although there have been other tests with a positive result. Which is what you'd expect when your results are dependent on a statistical deviation - you can't expect an enormous statistica...

please could one of the mods move this thread to where it truely belongs? :-)

I don't think it's possible to argue with someone who's made up their mind in advance... Like Grant Morrison says, Reading about magic is like reading about sex: it will get you horny for the real thing but it won't give you nearly as much fun. You need to do some magic, lift the seven veils and gaz...

He wanted telekinesis, I pointed him towards the most rigorous study ever done on telekinesis

"There's no pleasing some people."

"That's just what Jesus said, sir!"

Also, quantum physics has proven bilocation to be possible by showing that a proton can exist in two places at the same time. welllllll... not *exactly*. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/04/120405142156.htm Plus, quantum effects normally have to be treated very carefully for even a few ato...

Seeker, that is indeed an excellent photo!

It's difficult to apply the word 'proof' to something where the successful results are statistical in nature, and also when they rely on the nature of a human being's interactions in the experiment. I feel that most of the problem is that normally, science proceeds forth from someone coming up with ...

My avatar is me on stage, but here's a clearer one (all the best pictures of me are on stage) you're a fellow steampunk :) well, mostly for the various identities I adopt on stage - that one was for bits of our concept album "The Big Red Spark" which I tried my best to turn into a hypersi...

I find that The Force has an effect on the weak-minded

I also find that if you only have invisibility, people walk into you - you need an exclusion zone around you as well...

well, you might want to read Robert Jahn's write up of his telekinesis experiments with pachinko machines: http://www.amazon.com/Margins-Reality-Consciousness-Physical-World/dp/1936033003 and in case you have any doubts about him being a real scientist, here's his wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedi...

I tend to think of the process as driving a huge truck with no brakes; you have to start turning the steering wheel long before the fork in the road you want to choose your path at :-)

Yes! Write! Make with the art! :D And if you want to use magic to help you succeed, then you may not need much more than sigil magic. A sentence of desire something like: THIS MY WISH FOR MY NOVEL TO BECOME A BEST SELLER and awaaaaaaay you go! Of course, first you have to write the damn thing, but a...

I don't suppose any of the books you want are available on Kindle or one of the download sites mentioned in the thread in the beginners area?

wouldn't you be better off asking for your current life to improve? I mean, if you're going to go to all the trouble of summoning up a fairly powerful god...

sorry, Franky, I've no idea what you're talking about. Please can you explain?

This is great stuff, folks! And Nahemah; I am now convinced that a Glaswegian magician may be one of the most sensible people in the world

To come back more on topic :D For me, Chaos magic is also more of a "catch-all" term for a metaparadigm. My plan is to get at the physical principles at the root of magic. Like Bill Hicks said: "The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think ...

Moth- It is true that you can force your out come after a reading, but you can also answer questions about the present that are already unchangable.

Good point! - "Divine short and enchant long" as they say...

erm, that site appears to be a domain parking page... I don't think there are going to be invites forthcoming unless you want to buy the domain...

Just using commas, full stops, and paragraphs would be a BIG help. Spelling is not usually so important to basic comprehension.

My feeling now is that it doesn't matter where it comes from as long as your link to it is maximised. You must have a good relationship to the cards, whichever they are. The only problem I have now is that my research leads me to the conclusion that the act of divination, aside from being a snapshot...

Mine is the "Sacred Rose Tarot" deck. I was told that it was "unlucky" to buy my own so they were a gift. http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/sacred-rose/ Although I learned about the Tarot from the Alfred Douglas book. Never got a pack of the Tarot from it, though. http://www.a...

It's a little known fact that the world has been hand-built by Roberts.
