namaste snoopy, i understand though i didn't step down. that said, you'll note all sorts of interesting spambots and such that have visited recently so there is some moderation happening in other areas of the forum. @IowaGuy Nick's view's are not Buddhist either mainstream or otherwise...

LOL! i really, REALLY enjoyed it!!! the animation was really good (not great) but it was more graphic than the original so i can't let my 4 year old watch it yet... but he loves the original. :)

hi lover, well... hmm... in *all* ways the emphasis is on Will. when a spell is prepared our minds are focused on the prep, infusing the objects (which are completely inanimate) with a potential energy and this potential energy arises from an act of Will. the act of releasing the energy of...

indeed, Snoopy, on all counts i would agree with you however there is no moderator for this part of the forum. as such all that i can hope to do is make it clear, when possible, how Buddhist terminology can often be misconstrued outside of the Buddhist paradigm. metta, ~v

language is used to communicate ideas. this is your definition of truth? i wonder if you would be able to demonstrate this to be so? i can demonstrate that what you say is not so in a variety of manners both scientific and Buddhist. why, for instance, would any being need to do anything...

i would say that you are correct in this view. as near as i can tell lunitik is advocating monolithic wholeness of reality which simply isn't so and both science and my religious view inform me of this. i fully accept that new information may change my view within both fields regarding the...

indeed we certainly have! i'll give lunitik credit for his/her tenacity however :) metta, ~v

bump-a-licious!

can we please not refer to Buddhist teachings of rebirth as reincarnation? perhaps it would be better, Nick, if you were to expound the Theosophical view of reincarnation in the areas which are appropriate for that rather than in the Buddhist area? i can only imagine using the terms...

views and ideas are how humans communicate. such seems self evident and so i'm really perplexed at the seeming need to make it explicit. you've not defined your idea of truth and without having done so it is, as you so astutely observe, just noise. i cannot imagine why you conflate the ideas...

Thunder.... Thundercats HO!!!!! ‪Cartoon Network Trailer For New Thundercats‬‏ - YouTube i'm pretty excited about the new series! anyone else a fan?

belief is some of it however there is, in my estimation, a far greater emphasis on Will rather than belief for majick to be effective in the various traditions which i've studied. what part of that would you like for me to expound upon? candles are just another environmental object, a prop...

such an attitude seems to be a rather serious impediment to conversation and the raison d'etre of the forum.

you may not however it seems like you do given the desired outcome of the spell which you have written. affirmations of being thin and that you've always been thin and the like. i am using normal language :) however the lexicon of majick is somewhat different than what one finds in typical...

hi lunitik, i suspect we're having a lexical difficulty in our communication. may i ask from what source you derived your ideas about how science works and what it is concerned with? my own views on this subject are, by and large, Popperian in origin. metta, ~v

hi lover, i don't mean to say that the spell sounds dumb :) i practice sex majick thus the way in which i do The Work is far different than what you'd normally see presented in any of the hermetic texts that you may read. the self esteem thing is tricky since majick is, in many respects, a...

without understanding what you mean by the term "truth" there is really no chance of meaningful discourse. no, they are facts and truth and facts are not the same. IF, however, one were to define "truth" as "that which science can test and measure" THEN what science is doing could be...

hi lover, hmm... well.... no, i wouldn't use a spell like that at all actually. my style of majick is quite a bit different than the hermetic, ceremonial stuff which you've been asking and talking about on the forums for awhile. you have to use a style which suits you and works so i'm not...

it's allegorical relating to how consciousness bifurcates from a whole into fragmented aspects, imo. metta, ~v

conspiracy theory time! based on what i've been able to learn regarding HAARP i would suggest that what is happening in China is not random in the least bit, rather, it represents an aggressive action by the United States and Russia to destabilize China. metta, ~v
