Which is Which?

I'm not saying that I believe in magic, nor am I saying that I don't, but I will say that I have an opened mind about it.  So when you guys talk about magic, are you saying it literally or figurativelly.  Are you saying stuff like levitating and moving things with your mind, or are you talking about blasting and zapping things with your hands.  Or are you talking bout something completely different.

[Woah]

I'm pretty sure most of the stuff they do here is rather minor. Meaning, they can't throw a ball across the room with their mind, but they can spin a psi wheel. (Piece of paper on a toothpick type thing). Anything above that would be one-time only, and probably whilst in deep meditation. If anyone tells you they can shoot fire from their hands, don't believe it until you see it.

And if anyone tells you they can spin a piece of paper with their minds, don't believe that either unless you see it.

If you want a better idea of what magick really is, check out the esoteric archives at http://www.hermetics.org/library.html

It isn't Harry Potter, or Lord of the Rings. The energy projected by a magician is invisible, and subtle. The effects are subtle as well, and tend to be subjective.
