>Some useful tips before posting:
-If you're a reader post that you're offering readings and what information is required from the querent; same goes for trading.
-Look for their posts in the thread to determine if there's an active reader, what's needed and before posting, check if they finished reading already.
-Some readers will refuse to do certain readings - respect that choice.
-Bullshit queries will get bullshit answers.
-Making an air query (not addressing a reader in particular) is possible but doesn't guarantee an answer.
-Avoid making the same question over and over and/or to different readers in a short period of time, as this may lead to more confusion than clarification.
-Please refer to the Dream General threads for dream interpretation.
-Provide feedback when applicable. We're a growing community, and many readers are starting.
Let's help each other to improve.

Do any of you believe that your dreams are actually just more then a dream that connects to something bigger
What's a dream to begin with and what about dreams qualify how important they are?
Eh it depends on who you ask and the definition of these things you talk about. You're rather vague.

Nobody knows but several people in the US government were complicit because of their denial of basic physics principles obvious in all the footage, and left out of their official story. Namely, buildings don't fall through themselves at free fall speed unless the space below them is empty (or imploded with nano thermite shape charges). The other one is that if you remove the floors the plane hit completely, and the top floors fall, crushing what is below, they can only crush down as much mass as the top floors can acquire from falling two empty floors plus the mass which would not even be close enough to crush down through the majority of the remaining building which was undamaged, expressed more succinctly -
Newton's second law of motion pertains to the behavior of objects for which all existing forces are not balanced. The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.

Mount everest height: 8,848 metres (29,029 ft)
The followings are 10 highest flying birds in the world.
8 Bar-tailed Godwit – 20000 feet.
7 Mallard – 21000 feet.
6 Bearded Vulture – 24000 feet.
5 Alpine Chough – 26500 feet.
4 Whooper Swan – 27000 feet.
3 Bar-headed Goose – 29000 feet.
2 Common Crane – 33000 feet.
1 Ruppell's Griffon Vulture – 37000 feet.
If these birds can fly almost 10k feet higher than the everest, i dont see why any other bird couldnt fly around that high, looking for prey.
Also consider that the bird could be flying not-that-high above the valley, and it would look like it was right next to the everest when you take perspective into account.
It doesnt even look like a UFO either.

better than the other shit that has been posted to /x/, lately.
>>18812063
Very good response. I would have to agree and occam's razor this.
Good day /x/, I generally don't browse here, but I wanted to discuss about something after reading Berserk. Namely after reading Silke/Schierke's explanation for the magic and the Odic Force I got interested in the fact that there might be some kind of force that we can use to do 'supernatural' things and be guided, along with the knowledge one uses from properties of herbs, spices, perfumes, magical charms and fetishes, and so on.
In the manga the approach on it starts softly, especially compared to all the demons and the 'spirituality' of the Church that we see until then. There are typical symbols of occult like the pentagramm, the typical dress of Silke herself, the setting between nature and co-living with it, fairies/elves. And I'm wondering if there could be a good reading or approach about it. I'm no magic user, I just enjoy knowing more on things and the general idea, concept and approach to them, which I believe gives some kind of magic force/instinct that can actually be considered magic rather than give suddenly fireball capacities and teleporting. (Though evoking a succubus, an animal or a spirit to talk would be very nice)
What are you guys' thoughts on it? Could we start a discussion about it and share knowledge and your own experiences, in case?
Bumping in the hope someone wishes to respond.
>>18811996
Didn't read Berserk (don't throw rocks at me) but i've read a lot of manga with different approaches to paranormal, esoterism or "energy" systems.
The most elaborate one i've seen is probably the "nen" from Hunter x Hunter, they keep explaining and adding depth during the whole thing, and when you fully comprehend the system, you can extrapolate it to anything paranormal and it doesn't leave any holes.
I find these things "inspiring", since there's no esoteric or "energy" manipulation system that's known to work, all we can do is add from our part and get creative in hopes that something will come out.
>>18812665
That sounds interesting as well. I think what makes the magic of Berserk is being a low fantasy. The fact she prepares the circle by placing a sort of encircling medium along 4 objects is what got me compared to the gigantic typical anti-dragon barrier from nowhere from Final Fantasy.
But is there no real life equivalent to this kind of Odic Force?
has anyone had a nightmare will having a lucid dream
yeah but this isnt the place you should be asking my man.

It's a primitive religion. If you want to know more about it I would suggest purchasing or downloading books. Google will help you out a lot

Is anyone else fascinated by the man-eating wolf tales from southern France in the 1700's? The "Beast of Gévaudan" is the most famous case, but there are actually several such "beasts" that came before and after, including the "Beast of Vosges" from the late-1970's.
Unlike other cryptid cases, the Gévaudan creatures were linked directly a large number of specific, named human deaths - gruesome slayings, with throats torn out and skulls crushed. And unlike other cases, a dead beast was allegedly presented to the court of Louis XV.
Unlike mere hungry wolves, the beasts were said to be stronger, and also a lot more calculating - selecting and stalking lone targets before attacking ONLY their heads/necks, studiously avoiding hunters, and seemingly killing for the thrill rather than for meat.
There are many theories about what these beasts actually were - everything from attack dog-wolf hybrids to serial killers in wolfskins, but it remains a great mystery.
The volume of literature on the topic (especially in French) is extensive, as are illustrations from the era when the attacks too place and afterwards. As are the theories for what these things might have been - escaped lions, mangy bears, a remnant population of a Stone Age canid, etc.
This is one of those instances where a supernatural explanation almost makes more sense than a natural one.
If it was some actual animal, where did it come from? Why hadn't it been seen before? Where might its habitat have been?
Wolf-demons from Hell, on the other hand, means you don't have to ask those questions because they're not relevant.
>>18811457
I disagree sir.
Wolf demons from hell sounds extremely relevant.
>>18811457
That part of France is fairly rugged, and has a lot of caves, canyons, etc. where remote beasts might hide, especially centuries ago, when settlement was more sparse in many places.
But these attacks weren't limited to that area; they took place in different parts of France over the course of hundreds of years. There would usually be a sudden cluster of slayings in a particular place attributed to a specific "beast."
Do you believe in fairies, /x/?
Do you think they're dangerous?
Well you made this thread...proof fairies exist
Yes.
Yes.
