Which of these do you think is the most likely scenario, assuming that the double slit experiment/observer effect is evidence of our consciousness manipulating or manifesting reality?
1. We, as individuals, exist within an infinite number of realities. The frequency of our thoughts and the memories that we hold determine which reality we will experience at any moment. (e.g. holding a clear, positive intent will allow you to shift into the reality you prefer)
2. We, collectively, exist within one or more realities and the sum of all our consciousness determines how that reality is manifested. (e.g. mass opinion makes things real, such things like meme magic exist etc)
If you believe in the first option, do you think that it would be possible from a non-solipsistic point of view? If so, how would other minds factor in? Would your family really be your family? Are we just hurtling through random universes from moment to moment, never crossing paths with the same minds, would our own mind ever be the same? Consider someone whose ultimate goal is to have a relationship with a particular girl. If they manifested the reality in which that was true, would that girl really be herself, would she have any will or say in the matter?
If you believe in the second option, how would there be any order in reality, wouldn't opposing forces and will always be competing and gaining or losing ground? How would two isolated societies affect each other by belief alone?
In either case do you believe in a personal god or merely a fundamentally creative force? Do you believe in a third option or do you believe in God at all?
Materialist atheists need not apply.

Both/and: Our perception of ourselves as separate identities is a result of collapsing wave-functions, but there is an observer outside all iterations of spacetime that contains all possible outcomes.

Hey /x/
So lately I've been dreaming a lot about having sex, pretty much every night. This has been going for weeks now, and its always with different women but I can never see their faces. The thing is, it feels so fucking real. Like, I always wake up diamonds. Last night it was a girl sucking me off and god damn it, I can still remember her tonge wrapping my dick (her tongue was extremely large). On top of that, I just realized that I've stopped enjoying things that I used to love and sometimes I feel extremely sad, depressed.
Am I being visited by a succubus? What can I do to stop her?

Coming out about the testing done on the top TAG kids from the 80s/90s.
It is easier for you to know yourself when you are still more often. Spending a little time in stillness, regularly, can greatly assist you in coming into sovereign alignment.
When you are still, you allow yourself to settle in a very deep way. So we’re speaking of being still, without agenda, without things to do. Letting yourself be present and notice what is around you and yet kind of merge with the moment with no ideas about later or next, or before or anything other than just being still.
To be in stillness like this is a living meditation. To be in a moment like this and in this way, you can tune to the vastness you are. In this way, you become receptive, through your alignment and you are deeply nourished like when you sleep.
Now then,
The time is here for those of you ready to step into your divine identity as Creator Gods.
You came here because you knew this would be a time of transformation and you wanted to participate. All of your experience has led you to this perfect now. Now you have all that you need to do this, you simply embrace your innate abilities and step into them.
The world around you is thriving. A lot is happening all the time and the variety in play is only going to expand.
What you notice, what you include in your sights, your attention is entirely up to you and this choice is your freedom.
As a Creator God, you understand that all you pay attention to continues. You further all you pay attention to because you support it, energetically, with your focus. As you live, you discover your capacity to be in and with life, as consciousness. You find your ability to be in life as consciousness.
There is an expansive wisdom to you.
A vast and knowing aspect within your wholeness integrates everything and holds it all in knowing as unity. This Unity gives rise to the experience of harmony.
This vast intelligence that effortlessly arranges all diversity organizes the connections and correspondences within infinite levels and spheres of creation in ways that are beautiful. This orchestration is a natural aspect of the innate intelligence of Life.
It requires no effort, no work to create this harmony. There is only expansive intelligence knowing and creating, and unity expressing over and over again creating endless variations of beauty, everywhere.
So you see, you can tune to this underlying stability, the unity the at is intrinsic in the way Life is, and orient to the harmony and see the beauty of it all. It’s here. Each moment is abundant and resplendent with this innate unity that can be felt as beauty, like harmony, as the poetry of the moment displaying itself to you, gloriously.
So there is that experience of life, and there are countless others. That experience - feeling the innate radiant well-being of all that is - can also become personal as you notice too, that which you love. Your love of particular things, enriches this intelligence and gives the expansive presence of Life a new consciousness, expanded consciousness; through your perspective and felt experience.
If there was a person will to teach you; Secret Ancient Martial Arts, The real legendary "Vibrating Palm", and actual control over real Energy(qi/chi).
How much would you be willing to pay(per lesson), for 1.5-2hours lessons once/twice a week?
And are there any working(proven) guides/books to these things? Or must seek a Master willing to teach that?
>paying anything

I know a Traditional Chinese Medicine Master who teaches Chi Kung and Tai Chi Shen style that healed Cardiomegaly Level IV himself. The doctor said he had a new heart, and he would not need to transplant.
So these "energy manipulation teachers" are around. Just have a little luck and you will find.

Don't do it, it will leave you with mental and spiritual scars that you'll live with for the rest of your life (schizophrenia)
>>18329790
And physically you'll be tired all the time and burnt out on sex, which sucks. Ever had a full-body workout where you, like, sweat from every pore? That. Every time, usually like 3-5x a day. It's hard to keep up.
>I can attest to the schizophrenia as well
Is this just a metaphor or are yall talking about real succubi?
There isn't a rational explanation for this.

Paranormal News of the Week
Rare Moon Occurence for the First Time in 70 Years
A supermoon, which sees the Moon appearing unusually big and bright in the sky, is a relatively common lunar event which takes place when a full moon occurs at its closest point to the Earth. This month's supermoon however is set to be the biggest and brightest in almost seven decades. The reason for this is down to the elliptical nature of the Moon's orbit. When the Moon is at its closest to us this is known as the perigee and when it is furthest away this is called the apogee. When the Sun, Moon and Earth all line up at the same time however this is known as a syzygy.
"When perigee-syzygy of the Earth-moon-sun system occurs and the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the sun, we get a perigee moon or more commonly, a supermoon!" NASA wrote. "On November 14th, it becomes full within about two hours of perigee - arguably making it an extra-supermoon. The full moon of November 14th is not only the closest full moon of 2016, but also the closest full moon to date in the 21st century. The full moon won't come this close to Earth again until November 25th, 2034."
The moon will become full at 1:52 PM GMT on November 14th. If you live in the UK, you should be able to see the moon later that evening. Be sure to get somewhere nice and dark, away from the city lights, if possible, and try and look for reference points which you can use to gaze at the moon – like the horizon or trees.

The /x/ Files One Year Anniversay
So it's been a full year of The /x/ Files. I've read thousands of news stories, dozens of articles, way too many podcast and C2C synopses, and enough comments, both good and bad, to shake a yeti paw at. I've watched Art Bell and Hoagie come back on the paranormal radar, then just as quickly sink beneath the surface. I've seen podcasts get huge, or fail miserably. I've watched /x/ for a full year, too. Have I helped make the board a better place? I'd like to think so. Not half the dent I hoped I would make a year ago, but enough that I don't think I'll be stopping.
To be honest, ever since I hit the six month mark, I've been toying with the idea of ending my run at a full 52 issues. One full year of giving back to /x/ for all the interesting shit I've read and seen here over the nine years I've been lurking here. I'd just close up shop, sign off, and return to my anonymity for the final time. And that notion has lingered, tantalizingly, in the back of my head, giving me an out for when I'm tired from working all week and I have to rush an issue, or when there's fuck all for paranormal news and I had to scrape something interesting to read out of the bottom of the barrel, or when the thread hit page 10 within hours of posting it and I gotta self-bump it, or when the trolls and haters come into the thread and start giving me rations of shit. Who am I really doing this for? I'd keep asking myself. This thing hasn't blown up like I wanted it to. Nobody's followed through on their offers to contribute. I've been doing this alone, week in and week out, with practically nothing to show for it. Why not give up? Why not pack it in, say, "Fuck the world, I gave it a better try than anyone else has," and go do something more productive with my time? The RP threads and the succubus threads and the garbage threads haven't disappeared or even seemed to decline.
But, then I remind myself that I'm better than that. I'm tenacious. I'm stubborn. I don't give up until I am absolutely assured of failure and my morale has been completely shredded. I've watched others come and go, give up too easily, not produce reliable content. Where's MothDan and his 'weekly videos' now? Where's the /x/ Podcast? Where is anybody except for me? The only thing that kept me from posting an issue was a natural disaster, and that was only because my power was out all weekend. Nobody, not a single person on /x/ can say they've followed through, like clockwork, the way I have, since the fucking board was created. And I will wear that badge with pride, as long as I choose to keep doing this. I succeeded where all my peers have failed. And I will continue to succeed.

I vote that we actually do something in this thread.
We always sit around and just gossip.
Which is fine, nothing wrong at all with fellowship.
But, I feel like we should have some fun too.
