/x/, what is your opinion on buddhism?
If you know anything about buddhism, what is your opinion on the "super natural" aspects such as rebirth, remembering past lives, jhanas, floating in air and teleportation, etc?

>rebirth
Not necessarily supernatural. The way in which it's commonly thought of is a simplification. There are definitely parts of it where it implies a literal rebirth, but those parts seem to contradict more core aspects of Buddhism.
>jhanas
Not really supernatural as far as I know.
>remembering past lives
Interesting, but I take the approach of skepticism. You shouldn't need to be remembering your past lives or to believe that it's possible if you want to get rid of desire, so I put that to the side and if I remember some past lives then I'll start thinking about it then.
>floating in air and teleportation, etc
Embellishments. After countless years I think people felt like attracting people to Buddhism would be cool, so they added some parts involving supernatural powers. He also said that miracles were a shitty reason to be a Buddhist, so it seems odd that there are accounts of them when I'd say that trying to free yourself of desire is actually hindered by undertaking the path in pursuit of supernatural abilities. If Buddha really could perform miracles then I'd expect he would never do so, and if he was unable to prevent himself from performing miracles then he wasn't very miraculous.

I am aware that most of these things are "embellishments" and are not very important for attaining enlightenment (save probably for jhanas). Ive studied buddhism for two years. I am just curious about these specific aspects. Like if a buddhist on 4chan has ever remembered a past life or something, they would more likely be browsing /x/ than /his/.
Could the universe actually be the intestine of a worm?

Why? Why not the center be a rabbit?
The universe can be what every you want baby, as long as you got the fifty-bucks.
Oh sheet
>Barack Obama will be the last president of the US:
Baba Vanga had predicted that the 44th US president would be an African American, but she had also added that he would be the last one. According to her, he would leave office at a time when the country would be in economic ruins, and there would be a huge divide between the northern and southern states – as was the case during the American Civil War.
>Europe will cease to exist:
According to Baba Vanga, the continent will cease to exist by 2016, and all that would remain will be empty spaces and wasteland, nearly devoid of any form of life. She is reported to have said that chemical weapons would be used by extremists against Europe.
>Muslims will invade Europe
The blind mystic had also predicted that Muslims will invade Europe, and there will be widespread destruction by extremists, which will go on for many years, until the continent ceases to exist. She had also predicted that a Great Muslim War will begin in Syria.
>China will become the new super power
As per her predictions, China is set to become the new superpower in 2018, bringing an end to the United States and its economy. According to her, the exploiters (the developed nations) will become the exploited (the third world). In 2011, the International Monetary Fund had also predicted that China’s economy will overtake that of the US in 2016, emerging as the new superpower.
>Ice caps melting
According to the Baba, ice caps will melt by 2045. The rate at which the ice caps are melting already due to global warming, does seem to suggest the same.

-New readers should post that they're offering readings and what information they require from a querent.
-Look for their posts in the thread to determine what's needed and before posting, check if they finished reading already.
-Some readers will refuse to do certain readings - respect that choice. Also, bullshit queries will get bullshit answers.
-An "air query" can be made to no one in particular, but no one in particular may answer!
-Avoid making the same question over and over and/or to different readers, this may lead to more confusion than clarification

Had a couple girls over last night for a wine party (Go fuck yourselves, I'm classy as fuck). Having a great time, this girl Jen wants to play with a Ouija board I have. The board I have is just for decoration, I haven't played since High School, and when I did, nothing happened. So everyone agree, since it was 8:00 and it was dark out, we're buzzing, and wanted something to do. I pulled it out, set it on the table, went through the basic rules and started to play. My initial idea was to scare the shit out of the girls so they would obviously sit closer, but as we started playing I decided to give it a shot. All the lights were out and I placed candles on the table for effect. We began to play.
>Hello?
>Any spirits here?
The usual. Nothing happened. I started joking around.
>Will I get laid tonight. . . ?
The girls pushed it to no and laughed.
We got serious again.
>Hello?
It slowly slid to Hello. The girls told me off to stop pushing it, I never did.
>Where are you?
It spelled out THERE- - - - - AND- - - - - HERE. So we paused. Looked at each other and laughed.
>What's your name?
Now, it didn't move for maybe 10 seconds. Then it spelled MR HAPPY. I instantly called bullshit and told the girls that one thought of the name, which is why it took so long. One girl started getting real nervous saying she didn't want to play. We agreed on a couple more questions.
>Mr.Happy, are you dead?
This was the odd answer,. NEVER. So I asked. Never died? or never alive? The candles flames spun in a counter clockwise motion. The flame went parallel to the table and spun in a circle. Then it replied. . . NEVER. The girls got freaked out, and broke the circle, and we argued. They wanted to stop playing. So we stopped. They got up and pretty well left. As they left, I cleaned up all the bottles and weird shit started happening in my home. 1/2
2/2
As I put the bottles on the counter, I left the kitchen (Ouija board still on the table.). I went to the head to take a piss. I could hear faintly bottles slightly clinging together. I pinched my dick so I could hear. Nothing. Right before I un-pinched It started to cling together again. I finished and walked out in the living room. All candles were blown out, which I left them going (vanilla scent), and the bottles were spread out across the counter. I grabbed my phone, and called the girls thinking they came back in and decided to fuck with me. I didn't hear a ring tone, and Jen picked up saying they were in the cab(I could here the shitty arab music). So I told them what just happened. I jokingly said, maybe it's Mr.Happy. After I got off the phone with them I went to put a plate of food away when I noticed the triangle piece was on YES.
>Did we leave it on YES? Don't remember.
>But, we forgot to say goodbye.
I grabbed the piece and said.
>Mr.Happy, Goodbye.
Now, as I turned to grab the plate I saw a figure outside my dinning room window, maybe four feet away. I looked up quickly, and it was gone. Since then. I've had weird shit happening all day today. Seeing a dark shadow in the corner of my eye. Voices. Shit moving without noticing. I lost maybe thirty minutes of time. Should I invite the girls over to say a proper goodbye? What do I do?
>>18363591
I should add. I'm not religious. So I don't know if I should call a Catholic priest, or a Wiccan or some shit over. I could use some advice on what to do?
Also I wouldn't mind hearing if someone has had a similar situation or even communicated with this entity. Is it violent? Should I be worried?
>>18363591
you basically let a spirit infest your house, you should call a catholic priest to do an exorcism of you house, hopefully will work.
Lovecraftian thread!
> Are The Great Old ones real?
> Have your ever seen a real Cthulhu cult?
The Great Old ones are not real, but something very similar is.
>>18362801
they are real
you aren't going to find their cults.
Not any less real than any other gods. By that I mean they don't exist. Lovecraft was an Atheist. So that pretty much tells you that it is made up.
his lyrics are absolutely nightmarish, his presence is more /x/ than any artist alive, he has definitely done some weird shit. he talks about the occult in his lyrics and how it's apart of him and his tattoos and stage presence really go along with it as well. what do you guys think of death grips and especially the mystery surrounding mc ride?
i think it's probably just a lot of bad trips and a bunch of insanity coming from drug abuse or some shit
they are the condensation of the entire internet.
I AM THE BEAST I WORSHIP
I've accepted the fact that death is innevitable a long time ago, and I'm pretty sure there is nothing after it. I was at peace with this, living the way I want to, thinking the only thing I can do is enjoy life as much as possible. That was until I saw the first 3 minutes of this video.
(If you are currently not afraid of death I recommend you not to watch it)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60am5QZBpGg
It made me realise it is not fiction, it will happen to me, some day I will die and now I'm scared as fuck.
I mean, I'm not afraid of getting killed or dying, but every now and then I think about the fact that some day there will be no tomorrow, I wont wake up again. I also keep remembering about the time I visited a cemetery and saw all that people that is not here anymore, and the fact that some day I will join them.
I understand I will not feel pain or anything because there will be no "me" anymore, but thinking about an absolute end is driving me crazy.
How can I make it stop and go back to my previous life when I could talk about death as if it was a joke, something I should not worry about?
I'm not asking for religious advice, I'm asking for psicological advice.
>>18357460
It is your choice whether or not you want to be a slave. If you are a serious person and do not want to be a slave, you would dedicate your life to finding out the meaning of your life and if there is life after death for you. Otherwise, just watch porn and get fat like the other sheep.

well, you aren't going to give a shit once your dead.

OP: >>18343464
I have done 2 EVP session this evening and last night, and am posting them on private links on youtube. More will follow starting friday.
I have heard nothing so far, but maybe you people can find something.
I have been experiencing unexplainable noises in the past few days though, and many random vibrations especially around 3:45 - 4:20.
Will probably clear out the isolation soon.

Those niggas tried to blow-up the fucking school up but the propane tanks failed so they just shot-up the library instead. Eric's masterplan failed.
