ACHIEVE YOUR "BLISS", spirituality, cosmic consciousness HERE!

by Terry in

as civilization has advanced, one after another areas of magic, mysticism, superstition and myth have been blown away by rational investigation, testing, measuring, reasoning and recording data.

the last stand of the "believer" is the miraculous: the as yet unexplained.. this consists of blindly insisting on the unintelligible!

the faithful and discreet slave, for example, knows what you cannot know by yourself.

Some great comments here, especially Satanus.

I totally agree with Satanus that Terry's description of a mystic is WAY off.

As part of a mystery school myself and an amateur mystic (and also having met quite a few), I can say 100% that they all think for themselves. No two mystics have exactly the same view. This is because, as Satanus says, the whole idea of studying the esoteric is about the *individual* and knowing thyself.

If a mystic hears something is so, he / she goes away and tests that theory.

They also don't care a jot about any type of recruiting.

When they are presented with something compelling they don't see it. They dismiss it. They don't process it. They completely misunderstand it as what happened on your thread.

Yes.

It amazes me that those who claim to hold science in high regard are the same individuals who completely dismiss a whole area of study concerning things like ESP. Surely they *want* these things to be tested scientifically?

But of course, according to some, the whole lot of us - regardless of IQ or education - are just "idiots" because our minds are open enough to allow for something existing which is beyond what has currently been proven scientifically. Years ago these same people would have ridiculed those who said there was a force called electricity.

You know Terry, your tone is beginning to p*ss me off. Perhaps that is the effect you are after.

I said "possible" ESP because, the study cited gave a statistically significant result of some type of communication between two individuals which could *possibly* be labelled "Extra Sensory Perception".

Yet again you use this opportunity to ridicule and its pretty sad.

Its almost like you childishly think its "fun" to point your finger and deride anyone who doesn't agree with you. That is what this thread is all about.

It was evidence of possible ESP

Anyway...where do I get bliss again?

You ignore the scientific evidence I provided on my mystical thread and start your own thread.

Cross is a pagan symbol, watchtower is a pagan symbol too

by Noelle in

you all jehovah witnesses that said jesus didn't die on a cross but on a stake your wrong because the romans were pagans and what better way to crucify someone than on a pagan symbol.

i have a fact that you need to listen to as well, the watchtower which you symbolize is a pagan symbol as well.

oh no how can that be you ask, well let me tell you.. in ceremonial magic and some traditions of wicca and neopaganism, the four cardinal points are believed to have spiritual guardians called watchtowers.

Sirona

I enjoyed that accurate summation regarding Watchtowers.

I hope some lurking JWs will realise the hypocrisy of the religion.

Is there anyone here formerly of the "Annointed"?

by Low-Key Lysmith in

jw
friends

i'm sure this question has been asked here before, but i was wondering if someone would care to enlighten us as to the undeniable "sign" or occurence that makes folks believe that they are of the annointed class?.

....or am i asking too personal a question?.

i've always been really curious as to what happens to these people to make them believe this beyond a shadow of a doubt.. apparitions?.
