So what does /x/ think happened to the lost colony of Roanoke? Was it aliums? Ghosts? Mundane injuns? What about the word crotoan that was carved in a tree or the fact that it's clear no one left in a hurry?
>>18055163
I personally believe they resorted to cannibalism., and that crotoan carved in the tree was faked
Probably moved with the Indians. There were reports of Indians in the area with white features.
>>18055180
This. I'm pretty sure there is some recent archeological proof of this as well.
Hey /x/.
I've been trying to get down conveying certain emotions in my film work lately, and I went for something new this time. My goal was to create something that would make the viewer anxious and uncomfortable. Please give my work honest critique and tell me how you'd suggest I improve the vibe that your board knows best.

A few changes I've made in my second draft
>directional audio. Left clip is heard through left side only
>short break in the beginning asking the viewer to use headphones for aforementioned affect
>removal of the news bit.
What affects can we use to make people feel spooked, /x/?

Go back to /r9k/, we don't want you shilling your channel here.
Make it more like Tim & Eric Awesome Show: Great Job.
Definitely use more meme bastardization on your channel; lurk more to get better, and consult Reddit to see if you're doing it right.
Don't listen to us, you'll know you actually did a good job when try to actually fucking do a good job.
I'm gonna link some videos of 'Targeted Individuals' too, for anyone interested in the video subject. These people think they're gangstalked by the government or (((whoever))) else.

Nappy Head Roots is one of the more popular TI channels, he approaches the people on the streets and harasses them for 'harassing' him. Weird shit, it's all schizophrenic delusions though.
Has anyone ever tried this does it work for you?

I cut off my nose to spite my face. My breathing isn't well. I am not a good gauge.
not sure or care what the hell holotropic breathwork is.
Breathing techniques are important for health and mental wellness.
No one can tell you what technique to use.
For me, I like to maintain constant fresh air in the lungs.
Breathe breathe in the air...
don't be afraid
to care...
>>18055060
Be afraid.
Let's talk about these.
For the uninformed: The Nag Hammadi Library is a series of texts uncovered in Egypt in 1945, estimated to have been written around 100AD.
They delve into secret teachings learned by the disciples of Christ in secret. They are not in any rendition of the Bible or any holy book. In short, they summarize the truth behind the universe.
Perhaps the most prevalent is the Apocryphon of John, where Jesus tells his most trusted disciple the secrets of existence.

Discuss / ask questions!
Also, comprehensive website for the library and the study of Gnosticism

Bump for extreme interest
>>18055001
Most of these books are dated to the 1500's earliest. They are very likely surviving copies of of a multitude of books which were written during the dark ages and burnt as heretical. I happen to have a copy of the collected works and can say they are not cannon for good reasons.
Like the Flying Dutchman, The Ourang Medan, the SS Valencia, etc.
Do you think they exist, or rather, continue to exist? More importantly, do you know any stories about modern sightings?
>tfw nobody is interested

Seems pretty gay

/x/ is a slow board, newfag, be patient.
A few friends and myself are planning on visiting a location called the parallel forest in Oklahoma.
Anyone have any information on this location or personal experiences. We plan on going at night [nightfall-ish].
>>18054802
>forest
>Oklahoma
choose one
>Oklahoma
Isn't that like a skinwalker hotbed?
>>18055058
It's real. Sounds pretty non spoopy though.

I need someone to teach me legit remote viewing.
I know the basis of it and was learning from someone on here a few years ago but we lost email contact.
I need a legit person to begin teaching me again. I was just starting to develop skills quickly with the ideogram and my senses.
Help?
Bump for help or experiences?
>>18054744
Go ask /sum/ or /div/ and quit begging, newfag.
>>18054963
Woah settle down.
I contriboot a lot on /x/ .
Just thought I'd ask and bump it before the post 404's.

>>18054707

>>18054712
Nigga this ain't no pop-up book

>>18054707

Lets have a good old thread on Shadow People since I just saw one.
Share experiences, what vibe you got from them, what you think they are.
To start, my most recent experience (happened minutes ago)
>went downstairs to get water
>passed the long dark hallway, it always gives me bad vibes so I always half expect to see something
>nothing
>enter kitchen, ambient light is on
>there's a wall halfway through it where the sink is, making it sort of two connected rooms
>as soon as I look torwards the fridge past the wall, see shadow person
>it's just standing there, about one foot taller than I am, velvety texture (not wispy)
>blacker than black
>It has no eyes but I felt like it was looking directly at me
>nope out of instinct
>as soon as I'm upstairs I get this weird urge to go back downstairs
>my mind now registered the shadow person's posture as tired/lonely? strong urge to go back to the kitchen
>I feel bad for noping out
>>18054644
Poor shadow person. People always turn away and try to deny their existence with justification.
I hope he's okay.
>>18054644
I actually feel bad for the shadow person, wtf.
Does anybody have a Revelation concerning the Gospel of Thomas?
Read the apocryphon of John and have your life changed
It's from the Nag Hamadi library. They're texts found to have been written around 100AD and they catalog things from disciples that were never in the Bible. They talk about the true origin and purpose of the universe.
If someone talks about a gnostic text and acts like it mentions secret information that wasn't allowed to be in the Bible, or that the text has more truth than what's in the canonical gospels I can tell right away they don't know about the history of gnosticism or what the gnostic gospels actually were.
Basically, gnosticism started when people started applying esoteric Hellenistic philosophy to Christianity. They ended up believing some very different things from mainstream Christians (like that the Bible describes two gods and the old testament one is evil, or that the material world is an evil creation meant to trick us and make us suffer) and started writing gospels to back up their claims. These always take the form of special knowledge revealed from Jesus to a certain person. The community that used the text could then point to the book and say that they has the right information and that everyone else just didn't know about this secret information. It's basically just an ancient version of trying to legitimize fanfiction.
>>18054567
The gospel of Thomas never ceases to amaze even after having read it a bunch of times. Every time I read it I see something new, be it a parallel with some hermetic writing, Neoplatonism, Kabbalah! Buddhism, yoga, the tantras, the Upanishads... I don't feel like sharing it with /x/ though, I'm been disappointed before. It's a waste of energy to actually type something well researched and the next thing there comes a pothead spouting nonsense, and your post is lost in a pool of uninformed opinions, half-assed guesswork and unfunny meme answers. Nothing personal, but the level of this board is too low. Peace.
Okay /x/ so here's the deal. I cannot, for the life of me, do any form of astral projection whatsoever. I have pretty damn fine instincts, but that's about as far as my "psychic ability" (which is really just good instincts) goes. Is there anything anyone has tried that has worked for them, am I missing something, am I just fucked, etc? (also faggot in pic is me)
Cheat code. Game hack. = psychedelics
Actually I've considered it but haven't used psychadelics for that purpose. It's crossed my mind though.

Is the universe just a part of a cell of a bigger organism?
Maybe he has a different sense of time. Maybe billions of years are just like 1 second for this hyper-super-mega-giga-organism. Just like insects have far shorter lifespans, but because they move faster than us they don't really notice it.

Oh oh oh!
Fellow /x/philes, how do I get started with tarot? What books, etc do you recommend?
What about the cards?
Thanks in advance :)
Start with the traditional rider Waite deck. It is a great foundaton for branching to other decks.
I dont use anything but the rider Waite and the Aleister Crowley decks.
Start with the Waite though. It has the most literature. Both for free and for purchase and is a great start because almost all tarot readers use or have used it and can give you advice along the way.
>>18054424
Do the I ching instead. It's the GOAT divination system.
ALSO
I have learned over time that you can read about what each card means but as you do more and more readings certain cards will have a different meaning for you. For example when I do a reading for myself I have come to learn that the empress in my readings actually represents my girlfriend (soulmate). When I see it in others readings it can also suggest their soulmate.
Practice practice practice.
Read read read. Online. Books.
Look at the cards closely. Analyze them. Look at numbers in them, symbols and colors. All these things are very significant. Notice how you feel when you look at certain cards. Your gut feeling. Etc.
