Let's settle this...
    #7528021 - 10/17/07 02:37 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

Can a skeptic witness block the abilities of a metaphysical practitioner? Why or why not?

Does not the fact that every ESPer and TKer tested failed prove that a powerful blocking skeptic was nearby?

Aren't skeptics being hypocritical to deny their own negative energy?

I truly doubt it, but then again to make any conjecture about anything metaphysical is silly.

No, and to make such a claim would take a lot of assumptions.

Quote:

Again, assumptions.


The whole problem with metaphysics is the keywords I used, which were "assumptions" and "conjecture". Both meaning we don't have enough information.

In my experience, the few isolated times when I performed some psychic feat were not in my control, and that is why I suppose every psychic fails. Because they aren't being psychic, they were pretending, and possibly began to believe their own lies. I don't know.

The only time when I think people are going to display any psychic ability is when they are deep into the yogic or bodhisattvic paths. (or during psychotic breaks, which are very similar to mystical states in some cases) Even then, I don't believe they could use their mind to manipulate physical reality. But I believe there is a new avenue of access into mundane knowledge. Nothing amazing.

Since I'm on a creativity kick... I do believe negativity can (and often does) stunt creativity.

I however, don't believe negativity stunts quackery... too bad.

Why do you care so much about fakes.

Nobody believes them. They tested to be fake so why worry about it?

Is it really that hard for you to leave possibility open?
You have to label it as impossible in your head?
You can't realize that it is possible it exists in spontaneous undeveloped forms.
You've never experienced it - well unlucky - get over it.
Stay open minded to possibility or stick it in a box that says if one fake exists then everything is fake.

He's pissed because at one time he got taken in by some fakes and he's still pissed about it many many years later. He identifies/defines himself with it now. :thumbup:

Not pissed any more. Coincidentally, those fakes died horrid deaths and their bodies were never found. :satan:
