We all have unlimited creative potential. We can all "miraculously" manifest the seemingly impossible. Magic is just one discipline through which people learn to unlock their potential.

The best description of magic / witchcraft I ever read was that it is a set of routines and rituals using symbolic objects that gives the left  "logical" side of the brain something tangible to focus on leaving the right "creative" side of the brain free to work its miracles with the intangible.

Once you understand this you can understand that with a bit of faith and learning be positive in the way we think and make a habit of focussing our thoughts on what we DO want instead of what we DON'T want, we can go from being "less than" unaware "sheeple" who just do what they're told to being masters of our own destinies and co-creators of our world.

Magic is a preferred method of manifesting for some, but it's really an intermediate step that's not necessary once you understand exactly how powerful a creator you really are and always have been.

Blessings,

Once again I find descriptions of magic and what it can actually do to be couched in ambiguous language and tergiversation.  Can magic actually manifest palpable changes in the physical world which contemporary science should be unable to explain?  You seem to be describing something like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or Hypnosis, which aren't truly magical things at all.  When I hear the word magic, I think of a force which can alter reality in ways that can not be rationally and scientifically explained.  That doesn't seem to be what you people are talking about.

Has any of you ever actually achieved anything with magic?  I should be very interested to know.

Change your appearance... here is some magick:

Go to the Gym, or do weights at home. Run every day if your out of shape weight wise (weights don't really work agains that too well). Dress nice (cloths will make you feel better about yourself... yes its a very shallow world out there), be confident!! Confidence is very important..... or else you won't have the motivation to do anything.

Isn't this in essence an admission that magic does not and can not do anything at all to bring about any real and tangible changes in the world around us?  If so, why are you even on these fora?  (Again, I am not trying to antagonize anyone.  I am just curious)

I am not not physically fit, and I dress as nicely as I can.  I don't think there are any issues there.  My problem is one of bone structure and that is simply not something that can be fixed (unless one has enough money to get plastic surgery - and even then the results are usually mixed - and unless magic does in fact work and can effect a change in my appearance)

You people scare the living daylights out of me.

How about a more rational explanation?  For whatever reason the number 11 catches the eye?  It's probable that everyone encounters 11 with the same frequency as you, the difference between everyone else and you being - besides the fact that you are insane and they aren't - is that they don't notice it like you do.  For all you know, you have encountered the number 77 many more times than 11, but you simply haven't noticed it the way you have noticed 11, which is, for some strange reason, much more liable to grab your attention.

I appreciate you sharing your story with me, but, the results that this girl got, supposing that this story is even true, could certainly be accounted for by the placebo effect.  One needn't suppose anything remotely magical to have occurred in trying to arrive at an explanation of this event.

Honestly.  It seems to be entirely inefficacious.  My sincerest and most devoutly wished desires seem not to be able to be hypostatized with magic.  For example, I want to improve my appearance immensely, but can magic do jack excrement to effect any changes with regards to that?  No.  A resounding and painful no.

Can it do... anything?  Anything that hypnosis can't do?  The effects seem all to be exclusively immanent (existing entirely within the mind).

Why does any of you bother with magic anymore?  Surely all of you have discovered by now after a few attempts at realizing your desires that magic won't do anything for you, so why do you still try?  (I am sorry if this sounds inflammatory or rude.  I don't mean to sound that way.)

Unless any of you does happen to know a means by which I can improve my appearance...  Some say that one's physical form is a projection of like an energy blueprint in a higher realm of reality.  Can anything be done to change that...?  'Cause I'd like ta'.   :lol:
