Post here if you're skilled in any kind of real magic

This isn't the OP's new account, DBZ's not really that great, I mean I watched it when I was younger but you grow out of it, you know? It's way too cheesy to watch now. And as far as the OP's ability to levitate, I'd have to see that for myself. I know invisibility is possible, but you're not actually invisible, and it's very easy to confuse it with stealth.

He also said something about "small lightning discharge," which may be possible but seems unlikely, unless he's talking about static electricity.

EDIT - Information has been brought to my attention that levitation is possible through the manipulation of energy and gravity. Higher-evolved beings from past civilizations were able to use this technique and telepathy.
 
I still say the OP should prove his "magic" to the nonbelievers... via YOUTUBE! Yes, let us heathens in on the awesome secrets of the sages or druids or elders or whatever. We can all learn and start our own version of the X-Men, except we'll be magic instead of mutants. We can call ourselves the M-Peeps - M for Magic, Peeps for People!

Unfortunately you have to be delicate with timing, there are some things people are not yet ready to know. If you try to reveal that information to soon, events will occur to (gently) steer you otherwise. There is an important balance in the universe, and more information will be revealed as it is safe to do so.
 
[quote name='whoknows']DUH

Everyone knows a thumb is not a finger[/quote]Basically, those three posts in succession (though I'm only quoting the most recent one) completely gave this thread a purpose.
 
1.) If a person can't make a predetermined effect happen at will, but is instead subject to the whimsy of random circumstance, you do not meet the definition for having "mastered" or "controlled" anything. ("I am a master of breaking bricks with my hand...except it doesn't happen every time, I need a certain kind of brick that's at least eighty years old, preferably with a crack or a crumbling status, a running start, and twenty tries, and possibly an iron glove. And for everyone in the room to be a believer, because if not everyone is, it can negate my control and I can't be held accountable for failing to break the brick.")

2.) The idea that we only use ten percent of our brains is horseshit.
("Oh my God, Philip! That man shot you in the head but you're still alive!"
"Yes. It was fortunate for me that he only shot me in the ninety percent of my brain that I wasn't using!")
 
Ok Mr. mind reader when someone is taking a dump. You can't predict lottery numbers because it's done by computers...then why not go to vegas and pwn everyone at the tables by knowing what cards they have?

Or how about answering the simple question of why no 'mind-reader' has ever been able to successfully recreate their findings in a lab setting?

Unfortunately I can't verify that because it's so close to strategy.

Your second question, it's hard to find the right response. After doing a bit of searching, I may have found what you're looking for.

In 1995, the American Institutes for Research (AIR) appointed a panel consisting primarily of Utts and Dr. Ray Hyman, a long-time opponent of psi research, to evaluate a project investigating remote viewing for espionage applications, which was funded by the Central Intelligence Agency and Defense Intelligence Agency, and carried out initially by Stanford Research Institute and subsequently by SAIC. The two reports opposed each other, with the Utts report saying the evidence was strong and that future research should focus on how to apply remote viewing, gifted subjects scored 2% above chance, while the Hyman report stated that while there were definite results achieved, it was unclear what the mechanism was. Utts maintained that there had been a statistically significant positive effect, with some subjects scoring 5%-15% above chance. Funding for the project was stopped after this report was issued.

The only reason I posted is because this topic became a joke and a flame-fest, and I wanted to let the OP know that there's another person with similar abilities.[/QUOTE]

Glad to hear of your extraordinary experiences Dante. I too know of that inner focus that you describe. However, it is not my specialty. The "Lost Magic" that I wield is of a different nature. I don't really even know its true origins. As I train and learn, I hope to someday gain a better knowledge of it.

People always think magick is all about levitation, ghosts, harry potter, and other whacky crap.

I'm not going to go around stating there's a definitive limit to the power of the human mind, but let's just say I don't expect to see anyone levitating on youtube besides David Copperfield.

Are you familiar with the "human calculators," people who can calculate any mathematical problem automatically, without thinking? Maybe we'll get some human levitators. All in all, though, if Geckos can control the Casimir force, it may just be possible that one day we could too.

So dumbass, we see where you got your new username....one of the "scientists" in your link is named Leonhardt. Maybe you conjured it up while smelling the crap being dished out in the stall next to you.

This pointless and idiotic thread continues to provide me entertainment value, so I continue to read. Unfortunately, it kills brain cells in the process and by the time this thread ends, I'll probably be so stupid that I'll be sharing opinions with the OP and this new Leonheart moron.

See, I'm getting stupider already.

[quote name='DanteLeonheart']I didn't say it was magic. Are you having a bad day?[/QUOTE]You triumphantly posted the link to that article in a stupid thread about magic, proclaiming, "See! Levitation is possible!"
You obviously wanted to use it to somehow support your baseless ideas that magic is real.

Oh, and on levitation, have you ever heard of magnets and of magnetic and electric fields? How about a mag-lev train? Levitation has been around for ages, thanks to science, not hand waving and the muttering of made up words.

It's so instinctive, isn't it! If one were to look at my previous posts as DanteLeonheart, which specifically state that I don't do magic, and worse yet, if one were to find the evidence and explanation I brought forth about the phenomenon I did comment on, well, then I wouldn't be such a "dumbass" and we certainly can't have that!

It's not that I was supporting magic, just the possibility of the sort, if that makes sense. Previous civilizations used clairvoyance and levitation, but not by utilizing spells. Past life regression tells the story of past life in the very pyschic Atlantis, and it's been proven by different subjects giving the same information. When Kal123 said that "all legends are rooted in truth," he was correct. Past life regression has been used to explain different myths, although if I specify any I'll simply recieve more negativity. What I say, it is not to change other's beliefs, but to encourage awareness, to guide and to heal.
 
Seems to me that alchemist is just a medieval understanding of a chemist and medieval magicians performed many of the experiments that scientists perform for modern society today.

There's alot of information (some of it verified by science) that modern society tends to ignore. Meditation promotes relaxation and well being, you breathe through your skin therefore cleanliness is paramount, you are what you eat (for example eating bacteria in the form of cheese is not a healthy long-term activity), etc. People who engage in spiritual studies and exercises have more of a tendency to internalize this class of information then the general poplace. Part of the problem is delivery method: I've never read a New England Journal of Medicine case-report on meditation that made me want to scientifically reproduce the results in a controlled enviornment. That's why magic is important - it serves as an effective vehicle of this information without tying the practitioner down to the drugery, group-think, and political manipulation of most mainstream religion.

Problem is when you say "magic" people intrisically think of that cheesy Harry Potter crap about riding around on a broomstick and killing dopey dragons.

Now you're pulling out Atlantis stuff? It was never meant to be taken literally dude, the island never existed. That aside from the fact that any super advanced psychic shit was just made up later and not even part of the story.

I swear to god it's like people think that in the past there was no such thing as allegory or fiction. Is Lord of the Rings based on some truth? Is Star Wars based on some truth? Thundercats? Ninja Turtles? If not then why must everything told/written in the past be based on truth?

Some stuff is just fake, fiction, made up. It may serve a purpose to teach a moral or a lesson, but that doesn't mean that it's rooted in actual events.

Why all the scepticism? Magic is indeed real, I use it everyday to improve my life and the lives of others. I used to be skeptical myself until I actually opened my mind a bit and discovered the untapped possibilities of it.

You want proof? You already have it. I guarantee you encounter magic everyday, you just don't realize it. I already posted a few basic abilities I've been able to learn on youtube, perhaps you'll recognize a few of them in your own life.

I repeat my previous statement -- that unless a person can reliably repeat a desired effect and reproduce it under controlled conditions, there is no "mastery" of mysterious forces, just people trying to take credit for random and isolated circumstances.

Now, certainly, there are aspects of science (and certainly psychology) that can give talented (or sociopathic) people an almost magical influence over another to force a person into doing consciously undesireable actions (an example being readily available here -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7p2h2Lgpqg -- since YouTube evidence seems to be acceptable), but that is still a far, far cry from being able to affect nature and physics.
