I get to go to an orintation today at the local Community Cable shop, After this I get a paid course (a church group I interact with occasionally has offered to pay for my classes as well. What does this mean to me? I can Document somethings I have been planning, along with a few PSA videos.
I find those that seek to be stumped by their astonishment pushy at times, expecting others to be as excited as they are.
In some cases I share these moments. Yet when they cross religion or occult mysticism to parlor tricks, it strikes me as wrong. Why? Entertainment, from spiritual matter? As A Taoist I seek no physical (interactive) sign of the Tao. I ask those that seek astonishing things, and relate or present astonishing claims in relation to their beliefs. Is it the physical demonstration/performance from those in your faith, or is it the faith, as in a spiritual assurance that you gain? I would hope it is the second. When the senses are found to have been tricked, it can crash dowen any assurance you may have had attached to the performance once accepted as proof of something those that showed you claimed you needed faith to see.. going around claiming to be open minded, because you accept a parlor trick as a sign or demonstration of what you believe in.. is that faith.. or entertainment?
When something has a Physical explaination, and it is taken into account that that explaination has been supressed for decades, even though the explaination is not occult, but a discovery shows a physical phenomena (on of physical nature.) is that not enough to show their are actual things here that can be astonishing in their own right?
Explain this.. Accept because anything you believe is possible, Those children have open minds.. I hear such things, said to support claims. Yet when used in context against such claims, they are challenged. People are really selective when their defense is used to support counter points. A child has a unsoiled view of the world.. right so that can explain a childs ability to create an imaginary friend, or lock in relative things they picked up (by their recorder) to use to craft that friend.. people that so badly want spirits involved.. I really have to wonder.. what they are willing to say to a child.. to enforce there pet beliefs.
When the Laps the child sat on and learned, go uncredited.. some I think it is because the child learned and heard so much from grandma, the one that mom hated.. that they learned the mannerisms of that person, so the parent would rather write it of as some entity from beyond, then the actual influence of those that actually raised the child, and correctly provided an environment for the child to develop. Making the cases more intricate, and challenging, obvious explainations insisting phenomena.. will not change that. Explain your point, don't try to shift the burden of proof (for your hyper bole) to others.
I am now down to 1 hour on line for a week, until I figure out a new tactic for portal access.. the VR addiction must be feed.

Of all the delusional things I have heard, and the degrees of intent, I find this to be the most shocking case , by a religious follower.

I had not heard of this person till reading the above link. It made me feel sick to my stomach, the whole thing of people falling for anything and this child being exploited like that.
Wanting to attach physical properties to metaphysical matter is the intent of most who practice magic, they want physically tangent things to manipulate, that is a far reaching area of magic.
Science is not without their fault as well. They only acknowledge the physical as possible.. yet the meta verse is beyond measure, so they close it out. Yet it is still likely to be there for the individual that separates from the physical universe. Those that perform illusions to create the appearance of metaphysical things seem to be the ones that press the sciences, because science wants answers and actual study able demonstrations(understandable). Something that is usually answered with, "Well you will just have to take our word for it."When actually all they want to see is what has been shown to others (in their controlled gathering places). Three people saw a guru manifest a small statue.. then when a skeptic asked to see him do the same thing.. he was escorted out of the front row. So science has actually found some phenomena in a few things.. grant it it is not as astonishing as what is claimed by such people. But still it shows how people can be lead for a long time on an effect and its variations. So that practice is a science in its own right, studying human nature and how to manipulate the accepted beliefs of people.
I now have a window of 1 hour on-line (unless I can manipulate other resources). I can hardly wait to figure out how to get more time on line.

He showed me that even though we may be imprisoned, we can still be free, he showed me that to spite your oppressors you must out live their atrosity. Stalin did not kill you Alexander, a natural death, in the place you believed in.

Perhaps we know more then others, maybe we are more qualified in one area or another. However is that enough? What about application? I can claim to be a movie star.. yet do I at least show the ability to use the jargon? Professionals, tend to be leary of those that claim to be of the same profession, now in faith based things, isn't it just as important to want a clear representation of what a persons practice does?
