While Bigfoot and Dogmen sightings are widespread enough to suggest the tangible possibility of them being actual biological species that evolved along side us what explanations are there for more obscure or isolated cryptids like the loveland frogman and so forth? Is Mothman, the Vanmeter Monster and the Jersey Devil possibly the same species of flying humanoid? Or are these oddity and one-off cryptids possible Squalies, the products of early attempts to create animal/human hybrid in the 1930s?
Furthermore what is everyone's thoughts on what appears to be a bipedal arms race in evolution and intelligence that has lead up to this point?
Possible genetic engineering that applied similar traits to multiple species and families of animals? Was their once more bipedal types of animals before the big die-off 12-13 thousand years ago? Recent archaeological evidence suggests that Homo-Erectus, Neanderthals, Denisovans lived along side us up until this mass extinction point with Homo-Florenciensus (Hobbits) purportedly having survived much longer, possible still existing today in isolated pockets. And what of accounts of giant humans that existed along side the native Americans in north America before the arrival of the white man (or perhaps these were merely just the Sasquatch that many Native Americans consider till this day to be another tribe of human)?
I can't help but wonder how many more varieties existed before this extinction point that we are unaware of.
Bumping this thread this shit interests me

-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

Hi,can you help me?
i`m begining with magic stuff. I dowloaded a tons of book (Grimoires) like Clavicula Salomonis, and others autor`s books.
The other day, i started practise clarivoyance, instead using a crystall ball, i used a glass full of water. As the book says, i concetrated in my question and focus in the glass, a few minutes later, in the glass apeared animal and objects figures. The meaning of every thing that apeared, matches with a possible answer. Was an awesome experiences!
But now, i cant do it again! I focus in the glass and nothing happen, can explein me what is happening to me? It`s frustrating.
Cheers!

I just watched pic related and was looking to watch some more movies. What are you favorite horror movies that are actually scary?
>>18184464
That one was cool. Reminded me of chaos in 40k as a kid.
>>18184464
What kind of horror movies are you into, anon? Do you prefer more suspenseful/slow-burn ones? Or more intensive ones?
>>18184468
The 40K fandom considers this as an unofficial prequel to the 40K universe in general. "This shit is why we have Gellar Fields."
What does /x/ know about these supposed killer clown sightings happening in the east coat? I live in Nevada so not a lot for me to be concerned about, but ive heard rumors that its a cult planning on killing a bunch of people on halloween. Thoughts and info?

It's a youtube meme. At least that's how it started.
/x/ isn't what it used to be, we all know that. So how about a mixed "good old fashioned" thread.
Creepypastas, nopes, greentexts, innawoods or whatever personal experiences you got. Don't be shy.
Posting a personal favorite to get things rolling.
I remember back in the day when /lit/ and /x/ were sister boards. A shitload of great copypasta came out of those days, although /lit/ was just Ayn Rand and Lovecraft threads over and over again.

FORGOTTEN LANGUAGES /x/ THREAD
Hello /x/!
DISCLAIMER: Our goal in this research isn't to find out if it's true. IF it does happen to be true, this information is absolutely revolutionary, nothing we've ever seen. Our interest lies in the languages and the source of the texts they are translating.
We are a crowd-sourced investigative collective studying ForgottenLanguages, this is an open invitation to help us with our research.
Tl;Dr ForgottenLanguages
>http://forgottenlanguages-full.forgottenlanguages.org
>Site full of articles in mixed up and evolved dead languages using a very advanced piece of software called NodeSpaces v2.0
>Articles cover every single topic imagineable
>Human testing (on IS soldiers, very recent data)
>Interspecies Communication
>Particle Physics
>5 dimensional travel through something called PSV (Pic related, MIL-PSV 25S (Black Prophet) as per the article)

>classified military tech (along with corresponding unclassified tech, links to Raytheon, Lockheed Martin)
>Geopolitical articles (A few mention Obama, no clintons though)
>Cassini Diskus (an artifact that is supposedly coded with some sort of universal language)
Here are some intersting blurbs of some text that was in English already when we found it:
>The test flight of the PSV-25S over the transect Nevada-Arizona, gave birth to the so called Phoenix Lights sighting and caused consolidated the basic premise we wish to induce on the population, i.e. that their technology is vastly superior to ours, their spirituality is vastly superior to ours, and their societies are vastly superior to ours. The pursuit of perfection is of course a fabricated religious goal.
>The Illinois flight test over Lebanon proved the suitability of the paradigm shifter vehicles in effecting a radical change in the individuals, belief system.
>the first test subject, a suicide soldier from the Islamic State, was administered a high dose of milDMT that made him feel blissfully enfolded, comforted, bathed in love, a regression to and activation of infantile longing by the promise that a benign deity would reward childlike surrender with permanent euphoria. The second test subject, an IS soldier captured near Deir al-Zour, was exposed to PSV Presence. Though the subject lived in the UK before his joining the IS, and thus knew about UFOs, he was unable to associate the exposure to PSV Presence to an extraterrestrial vehicle of some sort. Therefore, induced mystical experiences do not provide veridical insights into reality. Our sense of reality is not based on evidence, but on cultural prejudices.
We have an enourmous amount of data, including a large amount of work translating 7 unique languages so far, and we welcome you to join us on discord (https://discord.gg/JD3h4wG) because it is just simply not practical to try and list it all here.
Several of our team members are in the thread, and more than willing to answer questions that you may have off the top of your head, though some of it is fairly technical and complicated to explain.

Hi, /x/.
I come seeking knowledge that I know only you can provide. I've come to a point in my life where I am desperate enough to even begin to think about this, yet ask how to do this. I want to know if there is any legitimate way that I can make a blood pact, a blood contract, or sell my soul or anything like that so that I can achieve my biggest life goal. I am absolutely willing to do whatever it takes to assure that I can achieve this impossible goal of mine. So /x/, can you help me? I will provide whatever info needed.
>>18188291
First you have to tell us what is your wish.
>>18188297
I want to be a successful and well known actor. I have started taking steps towards this by studying the art in the form of videos and acting books. I have an audit soon for a studio and then I will begin acting classes once I have enough money. I am willing to do literally anything to achieve this goal. I mean it when I say that.
>>18188291
An actor, you say?!
Prepare your anus for (((penetration!!!)))
Here's the deal.
I am a logical materialist, a skeptic.
I'll never believe in the supernatural. Everything is part of the material world. I am open to the material world manifesting in "supernatural" ways.
Anyway.
>I'm a dragon reincarnated.
It's just how I view myself. I'm open to the possibility that dragons are some alien species, or whatever, and idk why I have memories (very few) and identify like this.
It's not a big deal, it's like being from a certain state. "I'm from Wisconsin" someone might say, but that doesn't have much impact on their life, its just part of their background.
That's how it is with me.
Any questions? If you can consider it, I'll give you the best description of life as a dragon (what I can remember).
Or bury this forever because I'm not totally sure I want to do this.
>>18184384
>I am a logical materialist, a skeptic.
>Anyway. I'm a dragon reincarnated.
What the fuck
>>18184388
(OP here) I know right? If not for this, I'd be totally 100% normal/sane. That's the weird thing. Like nothing else that could be considered a mental issue or delusion. I don't even think about it anyway because it's not very relevant.
But yeah. Tis true. Or so it feels to me. I don't have any delusions or fantasies. It just is what it is. It's like someone extracted memories from a dragon and injected them into my brain when I was a baby.
And yes, I've looked into false memories. It might just be those, but its so central to my personality / so explanatory that I just let it be.
>>18184384
This is ridiculous
I thought I'd make Buddhism thread. I'd love to hear other people's thoughts are on the subject. What do you think of Buddhism? Reincarnation, getting psychic powers (millage may very), why you're unhappy today... talk about whatever you want.
All sects and non-Buddhists invited edition.
...
(My attempt at a FAQ, I'm no expert)
>What is Buddhism?
Buddhism is about the teachings of the Buddha! His teachings are about why we suffer as human beings. Why aren't things ever good enough?
>Who's the Buddha?
The Buddha was an ordinary (albeit remarkable) human being who lived ~2600 years ago. He was born in Nepal and lived in India. He was a prince, but at age 30 he left it all behind, wife, kids, slaves and all. And after 10 years of contemplation, and sitting under a tree for a while, he came to understand human mental suffering, and ended it... completely.
>What did the Buddha teach?
In the first teaching, the Buddha failed! He tried to tell someone the solution to life's problems, and it didn't work, the man thought he was crazy. So he decided instead to teach in a way that people could figure it out for themselves, you don't have to believe him! In his second teaching he said:
1) There is suffering in life. We all suffer. (Suffering can be translated as stress, or unsatisfactoriness... It's the feeling of things not being good enough, not getting what you want, wanting something you don't have, "tfw no gf", etc...)
2) There is a cause of suffering. It's because we want things to be a certain way.
3) You're not a hopeless victim, there's something that can be done about this.
4) Restraining oneself, cultivating discipline, and practicing mindfulness and meditation is the path that ends suffering.
>Sounds difficult...
I encourage you to still contemplate think about why you suffering? Why is that? You don't have to be a perfect human to develop insight into your suffering. The Buddha once deemed an alcoholic to have reached the first stage of enlightenment.
I think Buddhism is the most sound spiritual practice there is. I have a Psychology degree and pretty much everything ive learned about cognitive psych is confirmed in Buddhism.
>>18179856
>Buddhism is about the teachings of the Buddha
Would it not be more effective to attempt simulating Siddhartha's path to Attainment rather than the teachings of the Pali Canon?
>>18180664
Bonus question.
If the older Buddhist Tantras are taken at face value, they advocate the usage of their methods ASAP to build conditions leading to instant Attainment.
Why, then, do the five major Vajrayana schools conceal these teachings, particularly in the upper degrees, behind oaths and aescesis? Moreover, if the earliest Buddhist Tantras are correct in their assertion that the mantras of Saivism can produce Attainment with zero need for Buddhism at all (remember, the Five Schools revere Abhinavagupta as a Bodhisattva despite arguing STRONGLY against Buddhism), then why not go straight to the wellspring?
What do you think is the one true religion and god?

You go to either 3 areas, heaven, hell, or /b/.
Your brief and chaotic existence will alter permanently. However, the effects of your actions and interactions will echo throughout eternity, giving you a kind of immortality.
