Magic

I believe anything's possible.

Magic is what breaks continuity, ie what's reel, b/c it doesn't respect the rules that create and found every modern civilization (rationality...)

It is the only thing to me that could make life a bit interesting.
I hope it exists, but I don't believe so.

Sadest thing is that with the ads I get from KMC, here's what I can read above each page of this thread :

I always wondered what this meant:

"If you don't believe in it, it won't work."

Does that mean that it won't work because you don't believe in it, or that it doesn't work unless you are being tricked into believing it works?

😕

It's the power of the mind.If I have cancer and you tell me to take this pill and it will be cured I will belive you and take the pill.My cancer goes away and later you tell me it was only a sugar pill.If I have a headache I take some Tylenol or Advil.However,if I had never seen a Tylenol or Advil and I had a problems with my vision and you said to me "take this it will help cure your vision".If I took it I will probably percive that it had actualy cured my vision problems,when in truth it was my mind thinking the pill would,therefore my mind actualy does the curing.

It's all about your mind and how you take things in.

In the same way if I like someone and you tell me,"Hey Smiley,let me use this love spell and the person you like will fall in love with you".So lets say I agree and the next day I see the person.Even if i'm skeptic about the spell,my mind will probably be more open to things the other person says and I will be more aware of their actions.Even if the person had no feelings for me,my mind perciving that they do would build my confidence and lighten my attitude which would possibly increase my chances with that person.

So it is like taking a placebo?

I think it's like opening your mind.It's amazing how much a good diet and the right attitude can do for you.Even though I wouldn't consider that magic,I think it shares the same properties.I'm convinced your mind can cure you of almost anything and I also belive if you belive in something strong enough it will happen.

I bought this book of spells recently, an encyclopedia of spells actually, everything from learning the initials of your future partner, to incantations for more money at your job.....
I'm sceptical of magic, it was just as a learning experience, it was a few bucks at this kitschy little book store downtown.....and no I haven't done any of them.

Do you think that these spells actually are possible and work?
Or are we just subliminally then programmed after say doing the spell for more money to work harder thereby making more money as a result or searching specifically for someone with those initials?

I don't believe in magic per say, but I believe that a person can change their life through positive thoughts, energy, and desire. And things like love spells and such may work if you have the desire for them to.

Just to see if it is real, of course.

There's no such thing as magic, unfortunately ❌ The only way it can work is psychologically.... the power of suggestion, sort of. But then again, who's to say that isn't magic? 🤺

Magic tricks yes but not spells that are consider witch craft.JM

Wicca is a religion though, going back milleniums, so are all those people dillusional?

Yes they are foolish and modern Wiccans have Buffy to thank for its rise amongst gotyhic teenage girls😄 Buffy also increased girls interet in being lesbian.

Yes...and guys interest in being Heterosexual 😛

Very true😄

Magic is balls. It's just harnessing the physical world in an unconventional manner. It's just a different way of alterring chemicals (ie voodoo), energy and perception.

Very interesting though.

Maybe that is considered magic...but, I used to think ghosts weren't real and now I do!

I remember actually watching a video on the net a few years ago, where a guy was blindfolded, and someone approached him with a hot coal, so he could feel the steam and heat. He said "I'm going to put this hot coal on your hand now". He then threw the hot coal away and put an icecube on the guy's arm. When he removed it, the guy's hand was burned 😑 It may have been a scam.....but the mind is very receptive to outside suggestions 😬

I believe in Magic in a sence... I believe there is a God and a Devil... allthough I don't believe humans can do it...

Do you believe in it? Do you think its possible? All the religions and practices like wiccan..or voodoo. I've always wondered about it and last saturday after seeing the Skeleton Key..voodoo's been one of my top thoughts.

To a primitive person, a lighter would be magic. It all depends on what you are talking about.
