I've been curious for some time now why there are so many parallels between early Christianity and other Eastern religions forming around the same time, across the Earth. Lao Tzu for instance, taught about "The Way", this is what Jesus called himself as well as being the name for his early followers. I've even read that some consider Jesus to be an avatar of Vishnu or Buddha.
Does anyone have anything to contribute to this? There's a book I've seen a couple of times about similar sayings between different prophets, I may pick that up and see how much deeper this gets.
>>17249186
What book?
There are no parallels. If anyone convinces you otherwise, then they are brainwashed by New Age nonsense.
Christianity didn't come into being until the time of the Inquisitions, The Jews had control during the Dark Ages, so they stole Aryan philosophy which made its way east and made it into a bastardized form.
I'm writing a concept album having to do with the Flatwoods Monster. Tell me all the folk lore and stories you know about it. Also, post stuff about the Bridgewater Triangle.
>The Bridgewater Triangle refers to an area of about 200 square miles (520 km2) within southeastern Massachusetts in the United States, claimed to be a site of alleged paranormal phenomena, ranging from UFOs to poltergeists and orbs, balls of fire and other spectral phenomena, various "bigfoot" sightings, giant snakes and "thunderbirds", as well as the mutilation of cattle and other livestock.
Has anyone been there? What did you see? It's not far from where I live. The Dover Demon woods aren't to far from here either. Mass is a very spooky state.
Feel free to post about you're favorite folk creature, too.

first learn calculus, then find a power source bigger than the sun.
unless you just want to go forward, then you just need one that's just a bit bigger than humanities total output.

Going backward could be enough
What about calculus, though?

yeeeah, sorry, it looks like you are too innumerate for time travel, you will just have to live with the shitty life choices you've made.

>I feel an invisible hand yank me backwards
>I open my eyes
>I'm still standing with skelly dude, joint in hand
>"told you it'd fuck your shit up"
This whole process of going about working just to notice something was off and yelling "pull me out" to restart where I was with the skelly guy continued over and over for about five or six times before I woke up on my bed in sheets of sweat.
Mindplate, not even once.
Also, what the actual fuck?
>>17252606
It was just a shitty dream.
Yes, you can "wake up" from dreams and still be in a dream. It is just a transition, like flying through a mirror or television set in a dream and the scenery changes, just more mundane. You are worried about nothing.
De-stress your life to a greater degree than ever before. Meditation, creative writing, anything just do something to let your mind out of the cage you have built it.
>>17252606
sounds like the stress of your job is getting to you
Maybe wondering if the grass is greener on the otherside, Mr. LEO?
If you decide to go Breaking Bad about it, just make sure you think up the brand names for your drugs while you're conscious, I don't think MindPlate is going to rouse the interest of avid drug users.
Any idea of this pic meaning?

Nothing good comes of paranormal and love, even trying to just use it as a guide to help you fucks shit up.
OK, several steps to this, and supplies you will need:
box of chocolates; bottle of wine; condoms
>eat box of chocolates
>drink bottle of wine
>take condoms out, find hot guy, get laid
Problem solved. If not 100% satisfied, repeat next weekend.
There is no such thing as love spell. There, I hope it's clear enough for you.
If someone claim otherwise:
A. Fakes.
B. It's not love.

In the UK, an artist of well regard started opening applications to his private
mentoring program around the year of early 1993. He had a background with a number of underground societies, religious groups, medical professionals, and the creative arts- dealing these subjects in particular. A number of students started many short films, projects, and forms of performance art. A select few were fond of the surreal nature of the esoteric, reading a great deal day and night about ritual practices and various forms of mysticism.
They went to the libraries very frequently, collected things one may find in Victorian "Wonder Cabinets", books on occult practitioners, and depictions of cryptids in particular. Due to the suspicions of others
observing their practices, they eventually met in abandoned buildings and natural locations due to claims of "disturbing the peace" during an era of conservative views and social conditions.
They congregated in these remote areas to share discussions, work on projects, and even perform the rituals that were on topic with their work during that particular time of meeting. A number of their video pieces and art pieces started becoming distributed via questionable networks, as the work of the collective started going towards stranger and disturbing directions. Often, the members would not be able recall the activities of the prior night. When they watched the footage, all of the artists were horrified by what they had done. The mentor exhibited the most savage parts of the horror. He was often documented as crying, laughing, screaming, all at once while speaking in tongues. The lead artist was particularly interested in medical equipment and animals from houses and farms, more and more frequently bringing these into what became the "ritual space".
>>17252292
Eventually, children, as well as animals (often from farms) were bought and traded from certain networks, other collectives,
religious covens, and subjected to the most vile forms of torture, rape, ritual sacrifice, and
experimentation.
Polaroids were usually the only form of photography, and the only film footage that
sufaced on sites such as Youtube, vimeo, etc. were of the more subtle nature. Audio recordings, created from tape, were the most common media relics. There were as many, if not more, than the Ian Brady recordings from the Moors murders.
The networks involved with this collective included the Grail Movement, Tsalal Lodge of the Eastern Star, and Spiritism Society of the Forest. A few members came to light in recent reports such as Emilia-Romagna, Peter Scully, and artists such as Dennis Nona and Allen Joseph II (of Cervine Birth, Foxtrot, Equus Sabbath) etc.
The full libraries of the cult collectives have been collected and archived on the Deepweb.

An amateur astronomer has filmed a moving flying object on the moon surface.
>>17251013
This is the facebook of the amateur astronomer that filmed it is called My Own Private Sky.
He was using an Orion 10020 SkyQuest XT12i telescope with x365 zoom. This telescope is capacited to see clearly the moon surface without problems, so the object is not a telescope malfunction, and the video is original and it is not edited.
Oh, so why are you shilling your video here for the YouTube likes/views?

I just had a theory that what if skinwalkers aren't really bad? Mabey when you encounter a skinwalker it will enter your body and give you all the shapeshifting powers and shit. And the prize for those powers would be your body wivh you will get in a new form and all your memories erased and the only reason they want you to go to the woulds with them is so they can share the awesome powers wich they posess. The part where they act all roboticly is just the state in wich they are sort of paralyzed by the joy of discovering these new powers. Silly theory but still interesting.

So I posted this in a another thread, but I fell like this is worth posting again, because it's been nagging at me for some time now.
So something weird happened while is was trying to AP. I've been trying to AP for a few months, and I've gotten pretty close to leaving my body.
However, last night I was just crossing into the point where you get the face itch, and for some reason I could feel a sensation in forehead, where the third eye is located. It felt like my third eye was opening up, like something was pouring out of it. This feeling was intermingled by things flashing before my eyes. I can't remember what I saw, but I could see imaged flashing before my eyes. If I focused on them too much, they would go away, but when I relaxed I could see them as clear as day. Anyone know what this could have been?
And no I wasn't asleep, I was completely conscious of what I was doing and aware of the fact that I was lying in bed trying to AP.

Why is having a sense of humour so important to those who practice magick? I see it recommended often.
>>17249413
Because magic is a fucking joke.
>>17249413
Essentially, humor (especially the pun) is founded on paradox: contradictory senses of things happening simultaneously. Magick is as well.
