I just had a fantastic lecture and I thought I'd share some of it with you to see what others opinions of it are. As the title suggests it is about a theory known as linguistic structualism. In a nut shell this is what it is, (Linguistic structualism: "help I'm in a nutshell, how did I get into this bloody great nutshell..." ) seriously though, it is about human constructs, we have surrounded ourselves with our institutions and religions, buildings, economy etc, the theory is about trying to relate to the world outside of this superstructure, which in essence is impossible because whatever we think is due to how we've been taught to live and act. In the world of history there is presently a fierce debate about how far this should be taken. You see thats where the loop is, your stuck and can't get out because if you argue in favour of taking linguistic structualism extremely literally, then your own opinion is worthless! as the theory dicates that you have come to this conclusion through lessons learnt in society!!!

I find this hilarious, but fascinating at the same time, a kind of chicken-egg type scenario without the use of embryos or poultry.

I would love to hear what other people think about these ideas, it seems like it's irrelevant to projection/occult etc but in fact its not. it's one of the corner stones of it all, attempting to think outside yourself, is it possible to really do this or is it merely an illusion?

Maybe there was some problem but has anyone ever been on the chat site on astral pulse?

Either there was a problem or i was treated very rudely by some members. I went onto the chat room and said hello, then systematically everyone left the room, Specific names were akashikrecords, prana, and zeph. or something close to that.

anyone got any thoughts on this?

Over the past 4 nights, I have not once failed to have a dream relating to a disaster of armageddon like proportions. One involved Tony Blair murdering children in a museum and in the same building guarding a mystical document I was after called the nurmemberg memorandum which could help save the world. And on the news in this dream was something about planet x.

Last night I dreamed about a demon like dimension comming into contact with ours and me and a few friends were sheltering in a house while battling them.

any opinions on this?

I was jut wondering whether anyone on this forum who performs any kind of spell/ritual has ever had any positive results. For example has anyone ever intened a spell to perform a specific function and then consequently the spell has done this? it would be interesting to know.

Just thought I'd raise this point to anyone else who wonders the same thing. Do you think there are shamans/magi who can produce immediate physical results from a spell? for example heat, light, elementals? I say this because this is often one of the "romantic" aspects of the occult that many people look for when starting out on the path. I believe that someone of enough training and discipline can do this. I remember reading a story once about a preist in Italy who accompanied an occultist whom he persuaded to call up a "demon". The occultist cast circles for protection and then proceeded to call up a number of demons. He then did this a second time but couldnt control them and he had trouble getting out alive.

There are many more stories such as this available from reputable sources. But I would like to know is do any of you believe this, or maybe you've experienced it?

Just a delicate question, as i am student I find it hard to purchase such marvelous programs as bwgen. I was just curious as to whether anyone on here has any ideas on where the program can be gotten for less than the marked price?

I'm really impressed with the new style of the forum. Whoever did it, thankyou, just to let you know your work is appreciated.

I was watching a talkshow on British television this morning called kilroy. I twas about mediums and healers. A woman from the audience used a pendulum to describe someone. This member of the audience was completly random and the psychic found out this audience member had a vitamin c deficieny and various other problems and then they were confirmed when she asked the audience member. Further to this she then did the same to a very scepetical Robert kilroy and didnt do half bad, considering the negative energy of the audience of sceptics and one particularly rude doctor, pointing out his health problems. And finally this psychic was given a piece of jewelry of one mystery member of the audience and she went on to  describer this member very impressivley even knowing she was disabled and how her husband died (who the previous owner of the piece of jewelry had been)

I found this show did a lot to enhance credibility of british psychic mediums. However, the sceptics on the show should have been ashamed of themselves, interupting and scoffing at every available opertunity. And the repeated ramblings of one aggressive Australian gentleman about a Mr Randy and his amazing 1 million pound prize. Please, surely it can be possible to have a sensible debate on the issue?

I have had another idea relating to meeting etc. How about any one of you who are on this forum try and visit me1 I invite anyone who reads this forum to try and project to my bedroom and then come onto the forum and describe it to me. Winner gets a nice shiney apple. Try to imagine me and say to yourself "I am going to visit Lysears house in England!" or something similar.

Anyone got any thoughts on this then feel free to reply. Also whoever reads this I emplore you to try it, have a go at trying to reach me tonight.

just finding out if anyone has ever met with people on the astral and then talked about it the next day and found that the accounts corroberated. anyone met Robert Bruce or anything like that?

does the devill exist? if so is it evil? I find myself questioning the nature of god. If god is omnipotent surely it is "evil" as well as good, otherwise god would not be omnipotent. So surely god is the devil or god allows the devil to exist.

I just wanted to put this to some of the more experienced ones among you. I have been practcing ceremonial magick for about 8 months now and among the many things there is one that bothers me the most. Why do most all forms of magick tell you that you should keep quiet about what you do. I would understand if it was just for your own safety because people can be a bit irrational. However I get the impression its much more than that, that its a specific reason for being quiet that i'm not getting! anyone any theories on the matter?

I dont know if this subject has been raised before but I just read another article about it in a british newspaper and I find it really intersting. the bloke who wrote the article talked about finding references to the sept 11th attacks in it. But that doesnt bother me too much because its after the actual event. What I found interesting are the references to nuclear war in 2006 but not from nation states but terrorists.

What does everyone else think of the validity of the bible code as a divinatory tool?

I just came across a great discussion on the bugs forum, wrong place for it really. Just wondering if we could shift it over to here. I think Psi balls are important for 1 major reasons. IF YOU CAN MAKE A BALL OF LIGHT APPEAR IN YOUR HANDS THEN DO IT IN FRONT OF PEOPLE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!! maybe then we can begin to pove the existance of the sub normal to everyone!!!!!

I dont know if this has been tried before but I was thinking why cant we arrange meetings and then post the results on this forum? I know that there is the problem of projections being unreliable but let me suggest this to you all.

If anyone gets out of their body from now on go to stonehenge in England and at least then after a few months someone will hopefully meet up with someone. If you've never been there before then if you get out and make it there come on the forum and describe to everyone what you saw and hopefully we can corroberate! any meetings, seeing anyone from fourm or elsewhere then post it on here!

i think this should be a locked topic and we should really have a go at this. so anyone who's going out tonight have a go and report back here!!


sorry but I'm dead excitied this is a good idea man!!

I have been practicing the Tarot for 8 months now and I would just like to throw this at everyone. Sometimes my readings are spookily accurate but other times they make no sense at all, I dont mean I dont understand I mean that the cards have no relation to the question asked whatsoever.

Anyone else experience this problem?

I love this topic in the other thread so I think I am gonna start a thread properly on one condition. Please dont use it as a method by which to insult people, or as a method of one-up manship or anything equally as annoying. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion even the critics!

ok here goes, to what extent should someone have an open mind in matters spiritual or in life generally for that matter. It would be good to have an intellegent adult conversation about this, although I acknoweldge there are a few younger members here (including myslef to an extent as I am only 20) but I still think this is possible.

Ok I will start from the begining. baring in mind its 1 in the morning here now!! I was just laying down in bed, frustrated at ot being able to sleep. Decided to take an imaginary walk round my house, I imagined objects, especially textures, i was touching everything, walls guitar etc. Then after about 5 minutes at most I got short of breath. I then got a rush of adrenelin to my chest and my heart or heart chakra beat fearsly. I felt like I was comming lose from my body! got light headed!! thought I was going to do it!!! but no. got a lot from this night!

1)a new technique for me which I highly recomend!!
2)almost a guarantee that all this astral malarky is real! (most importantly!!)
3)I am extremely excited!! so as a result cant get to sleep again!!


            Anyone else had this before? could some experienced member help explain what just happened?

                                                    Lysear

Just thought I'd throw this one a t you all. I have read a few pieces by occultists such as Crowley, Regardie etc that when they have projected they have been able to project to a "higher plane" they argue that 7 planes exist. Has anyone had any experience of these planes or read ought about them?

                             Lysear

I respect the opinion of all people who say they can levitate, shoot holes in walls etc but I personally dont believe that if it is possible, anyone less than a yogi master or someone very gifted can do it that easily. I would just like to open this up to the forum , has anyone seen someone shoot holes in walls or levitate? or something equally as ahem! interesting. This posting may seem patronising and  if it comes across like this I apologise but I believe a person has to be objective in any given situation. You need to question everything in life including things seemingly occult.

Just like to share a couple of recent dreams with you all to see what you think.

 (1) Last night I dreamed of floods in my home town and me and my mum in a boat going down the road to get supplies, and today on the news England got flood warnings!
 (2) I remember dreaming something about Saddam Hussein Only signing a peace treaty when something or other happens in space.

just been thinking about the uses of this forum. This is one of the most promising discussion forums I have ever seen! but it could be so much more too!

I am going to open this up to debate, what other things do people think the forum could be good for?

Lysear

I just fancied asking this question, although I know phsyical proof doesn't bother a lot of people. I was just wondering if anyone has been on a projection and gone to for example look in a shop you never been in and then when you wake up go and check that shop out?

I think this is quite interesting anyway

               Lysear

dont know if this has been mentioned before, although it probably has in some way but I have been developing a technique recently, outside of my training with the bwgen and it involves imaginging yourself getting up out of your body and walking around. Imagine all the details of your house, what you know is there and get totally emersed in it. This is great because your getting something to concentrate on while gaining good practice at shiftling your point of focus. This is dead easy and I believe if practiced in conjunction with relaxation or sleep deprivation could be a promising method.

on another note I may try it with my bwgen program tonight too mixing the two could be good. i will tell you how I got on tomorow.
