Please Note: The following is an opinion, a fairly common opinion

My take on the subject is that your brain is responsible for two things: the functioning of the physical body and the filtering/receiving of your thoughts. According to this school of thought, all ideas and thoughts come from you higher self (and in some cases from other entities,) and are then received by your brain as a tangible thought form. It can be likened to a radio: the radio station sends out waves of information which, alone, do nothing, until a properly tuned radio can pick up and filter those signals, thus converting them into the music you hear. That's how I believe the brain works.

As far as a "soul," I don't particularly believe in the original sense of the word, but rather in the etheric, astral and mental consciousness which allows a person to exist outside the physical body. "Astral projection" is, by that logic, an escapade within the "soul."

Most of those are answered in the FAQ and Permanent board. There is also a good FAQ and some techniques at http://www.jonasridgeway.com

Well, I could go on and on about my experience and what I've found to be real, but can I give you conclusive proof? No. But everyone goes through this, when it was my turn, I just wanted it so bad that my will power made it happen. So my advice is to want it. Bad.

It's a paradox, you see. You can't get results because you doubt their reality, but you can't alleviate your doubt because you need to see it to believe it, am I right?

I am clairvoyant, I can't control it all that well, but suffice it to say that I've never closed my eyes and seen black.

There is no black magick. Some groups of magick practitioners (wizards, magi, wiccans, etc) organize magicks into categories, for example: brown is usually beast mastery, grey is usually lore, and black is usually "sorcery." What it comes down to is not a different source of magick, but rather a different intent.
