Thought Experiments In Order To Prove The Paranormal

Paranormal Investigators

Elsewhere in the universe, people are hard at work constructing thought experiments in order to prove the hidden realms of the paranormal. See comments for my humble entries! (short but sweet version)

Don't believe in curses?
>WITHOUT TOUCHING ANYONE...

Can you cause someone to hurt? Can you cause an injury? Can you cause someone to suffer? Can you cause someone to make poor choices? Can you project ugliness into someone's life? Can you darken someone's skies? Can you sabotage someone? Can you cause someone to fail? Can you cause someone to spiral out of control? Could you even cause someone to kill themselves? Is it possible to sit in an office building and regulary do incredibly wicked things?

Is it possible to give someone Hell? It always has been! It seems to me: psychopathic intent is the threshold that could render any of us into a demon. And I believe you will find that the modern American demon is a particularly ugly and violent sort of demon!

Proof of the paranormal?

Doom Threshold

Doom Threshold: K≤X
Don't believe me?
K(Karma)K≤X(less than or equal to)X(Doom)

Here it is in English: "The establishment's karma is so damned bad that they are doomed!"

I stumbled across this while making jokes in my journals...

Simulation Theory Spellcasting!

Word is bond! You will find that some of what I say is a DD (direct damage) and some of what I say is a DoT (damage over time). Often, it is a DD with DoT aftereffects and has devastating splash damage. I will buff allies and debuff the enemy. I am also a lifesaving healer. These words that I manifest and put forth have all kinds of mystical effects and are devastating to the enemy! My Schools of Magic are incredibly overpowered and include, but are not limited to: TRUTH, AUTHENTICITY, and GOODNESS!

I am just some idiot from Delaware, but I have learned to be a pretty strong caster - lowbie that I am! A tip for fellow novices: know your Schools of Magic, and build your fires until you go SUPERNOVA!

- Fun and games...

*With paranormal drafting thought experiments such as these - Hell mapping becomes possible!

If you can prove the existence of the paranormal, doesn't that mean it's just more normal?

Trump does all those things every day.

If you prove two of them, that’s a pair- o-normals.

The Fun House Effect
#psychedelic #evil

The truth has been concealed by the reigning establishment since the beginning of time, while reality was forced to bend around the lies. These procedures produce a phenomena which creates entire mysterious realms of what is now the paranormal: the underworld. We should consider reality to be bent, mangled, and contorted as if it were fashioned into a sinister tool.

The thread is DOA. dead on arrival.

In a 70s psych class Alternate States Of Awareness the teacher ran an experiment.

He had a set of envelopes with the standard symbols used for psychic tests.

The psychology symbols used for telepathy tests are the five designs found on
Zener cards: a circle, a plus sign (cross), three wavy lines, a square, and a five-pointed star. These cards were developed in the 1930s to conduct experiments on extrasensory perception (ESP).

He help up each envelope and a class of about 20 had to deducethe symbol in the envelope.

The class was right at the average expected for random choice, some a little higher and some a little lower.

A lot of controlled experiments were done in the 60s and 70s and failed to find anything.

Are psychedelics part of your experience?

Hmm .. abra cadabra presto changeo you are a pile of feces. Did it work?

It always works, Steve, but you can't always tell.

The Descendants of Cain:

"Dark triad" personality disorders and malevolence. Dark triads often attain positions of power and control. Look around DC, London, Brussels, Moscow, or Beijing and do an armchair diagnosis for psychopaths, narcissists, and Machiavellianism. You may find these places overrun!

A rose by any other name smells the same.

The Descendants of Cain

Fictional characters only have fictional descendants.

I read Aleister Crowy's Diary Of Drug fiend in the 70s.

He stated a magical system, from scratch and had upscale peoplee in Engoland believing he was a real magician. Underneath it all; was sex and drugs,.

It is not just Christianity.

Aleister Crowley - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Aleister Crowley (/ˈælɪstər ˈkroʊli/ AL-ist-ər KROH-lee; born Edward Alexander Crowley; 12 October 1875 – 1 December 1947) was an English occultist, ceremonial magician, poet, novelist, mountaineer, and painter. He founded the religion of Thelema, identifying himself as the prophet entrusted with guiding humanity into the Æon of Horus in the early 20th century. As a prolific writer, he published widely over the course of his life.

Crowley's belief system, Thelema, has been described by scholars as a religion,[215] and more specifically as both a new religious movement,[216] and as a "magico-religious doctrine".[217] Although holding The Book of the Law—which was composed in 1904—as its central text, Thelema took shape as a complete system in the years after 1904.[218]

Crowley believed in the objective existence of magic, which he chose to spell as "Magick", which is an archaic spelling of the word.[230] He provided various different definitions of this term over his career.[231] In his book Magick in Theory and Practice, Crowley defined Magick as "the Science and Art of causing change to occur in conformity with Will".[232] He also told his disciple Karl Germer that "Magick is getting into communication with individuals who exist on a higher plane than ours. Mysticism is the raising of oneself to their level."[233] Crowley saw Magick as a third way between religion and science, giving The Equinox the subtitle of The Method of Science; the Aim of Religion.[234] Within that journal, he expressed positive sentiments toward science and the scientific method,[235] and urged magicians to keep detailed records of their magical experiments, having said: "The more scientific the record is, the better."[236] His understanding of magic was also influenced by the work of the anthropologist James Frazer, in particular the belief that magic was a precursor to science in a cultural evolutionary framework.[237] Unlike Frazer, however, Crowley did not see magic as a survival from the past that required eradication, but rather he believed that magic had to be adapted to suit the new age of science.[235] In Crowley's alternative schema, old systems of magic had to decline (per Frazer's framework) so that science and magic could synthesize into magick, which would simultaneously accept the existence of the supernatural and an experimental method.[238] Crowley deliberately adopted an exceptionally broad definition of magick that included almost all forms of technology as magick, adopting an instrumentalist definition of magic, science, and technology.[239]

In the 70s I read on Tibetan Buddhism and yoga. Riddled with the paranormal. Levitation and telekinesis and more.

Tibetan Yoga And Secret Doctrines by the anthropologist Evans-Wentz should be in PDF online. Interesting reading.

In the 70s or 80s the Maharishi's Transcendent Mediation cult was giving levitation classes.

Chinese and Japanese martial arts traditions have a paranormal element. Taoism and Chinese traditional medicine.

A long list through today of magic ad the paranormal.

The movie Color Of Magic was entertaining. The Chinese movie Forbidden Kingdom, Chinese magic.

Harry Potter and Lord Of The Ring. Star Wars.

lie the Penne and Teller show Fool Us. Some of the magic acts really do appear magical, but there is always a trick.

If Page Of Sword agrees I will run an experiment. I will make a doll with his name on it. One week form now at 12:00 noon Pacific time I will put a pin in the butt. Not deep enough to do any damage but enough so it will be felt.

 

[WAB]

Well, if it was a doll of me there would be the possibility of brain damage...

HP Lovecraft came to mind. Humans dabbling in the occult and getting in over their heads.

In H. P. Lovecraft's works, the occult is not a system of magic for human use but a terrifying field of forbidden knowledge about the true nature of the cosmos
. Characters who meddle in the occult seek power or understanding but instead expose themselves to cosmic horrors that lead to madness, corruption, and the destruction of their humanity. The theme represents humanity's dangerous hubris in the face of an incomprehensibly vast and indifferent universe.
