Considering the body's the Russians just recently discovered. What scenario would you rather be in. A week long trip through Dyaltov pass, with a proper tour guide, essential supplies for that week, no communications what so ever. Or a Night in Aokigahara ( Suicide forest ) 24 hours, in a tent in the middle of the forest by yourself. With only what you bring with you, other than firearms.?
I would choose the suicide forest and bring with me sleeping pills, earplugs and a lot of water/food. I would then swallow the pills and sleep through the day in my tent.
Of course the suicide forest.
>in Dyaltov pass its cold as fuck. you'll have to be in good shape to make it alive through it
>in suicide forest worst thing that could happen is you find some corpse, all you need is tent, snacks, and some comic books
It should be two days in the pass and one week in the forest if you wanted it to be more balanced OP.
The time has come
and so have I!
I'm reading The Roots of Coincidence by Arthur Koestler and at some point he cites a theory that states that conscious will (ie. the effect of the mind on the behaviour of the brain and body) is brought upon by psi processes, PK and ESP acting on one's own brain (as if we were a ghost operating the machine that is our brain), and external convenvional PK and ESP phenomenon would be instances of these processes acting upon our environment instead. In other words, we are external to our brain (or if internal, fundamentally separate at least) and exhert will by operating it using what is popularly known as psi, but could very well be a basic biological mechanism of all living beings.
Have you read of similar theories in other books and belief systems? I'd like to know.
Also, if you're temped to argue against this theory I mention, OK (I don't even assume is correct), but first do read the book (chapter two), because otherwise you will be missing most of the exposition, arguments and scientific research cited by Koestler. And I won't waste my time repeating them.
The esoteric point of view on this as described by Alice Bailey is that spirit/awareness interacts with organic matter to produce consciousness. As science hasn't yet been able to come up with anything which contradicts this, or proposes a better model, I guess Koestler was on to something. I haven't read the book but it sounds about right afaik.
>In other words, we are external to our brain
Just to come back to this very briefly as it's way past my bedtime, this depends on the definition of 'we'. At the most obvious level, we are a product of our brain in that our sense of self can be altered by drugs, stroke, surgery, etc. At the other end of the spectrum, if you believe the reports of out of body experience, we do not rely on our brains for awareness. Somewhere, somehow, this interaction between 'pure' awareness and the brain is being played out, resulting in our normal waking consciousness.

I must point out this is not Koestler's theory. He merely cites it (and he makes a point of not pronouncing himself as to whether he considers it "on the right track"). I did find it mindblowing though.
>>17202544
The thing is it's only will which is external to the brain (because it has not been found either as an explicit mechanism nor as an emergent deterministic phenomenon derived from brain chemistry). Perception, emotion and everything else does have an origin in the material brain, thus it is affected by drugs. It would seem "we" are will plus everything else, being the will the analogous of the "mind" here.
Drugs can alter your actions, but not by directly affecting your will, rather by affecting all the data your will has to make a decision on which action to take (emotions, external and internal perception, etc.)
Is damn well past my bedtime too...

Idk but it's spoopy
Poor Michael, can't believe it's been nearly seven years since he passed away.
This couple who were somewhat well known artists killed themselves a few years ago and were insistent they were being pursued by scientologists and a pedophila ring.
People have theorized they were an Alternate Reality Game and they faked their own deaths or were paranoid. They kept this up for a number of years. There's something very disturbing and haunting about the whole complex of theories and information around them.
Does anyone else know about this and have people with an occult background formulated any conclusions about this?
I you don't know about them search Theresa Duncan or Golden Suicides
>>17200262
Sounds like gang stalking.
>>17200262
they picked a fight with hollywood and lost, next topic
Just read through everything written about them. currently pouring over Theresa's blog.
Extremely sad but not paranormal in the slightest.
How can i make my natural clairvoyance come back, or even how can i control it? It seems to be linked with times of heavy emotion (the time is when i se the vision, not in the vision) where i see random stuff that is almost worthless. I am trying my best to prove it by taking notes when i notice one vision, i'm trying to prove it to myself (who knows if i'm not crazy, well, i don't think i am anymore). In meditation i try to force it and it only worked one time and it wasn't even proper meditation, just forcing gnosis while taking a shower. I can give more info on the visions and how they work if it is needed but i want to find someone who can help me, not the other way, but i would be glad to inform anyone who wants.
Well it seems like you may have come up with the situation during those emotional periods, and then created them. Learning to consciously bring about events is what magic and such is all about.
>>17200109
why would i create a situation of a ball hitting the back of my head? And i said that it "seems", not all of them, not most of them, are generated by periods of heavy emotion, and they are things that are mostly not important. I know magic, but it seems to not be it.
>>17200122
sorry, forgot the trips
alright /x/, give me the scariest post screenies you've got. hauntings, demons, aliens, monsters, skinwalkers, the lot. Will bump with some I've got.

Does anyone have the one with OPs dad seeing deerman through the window and being spooped as fuck?
Any weird house experiences? Things that would make you consider moving?
Something about not even having a picture of a real house for this thread...
Door slamming shut by itself and opening slowly, faded faces in the mirror. You know, just the usual.

With the incredibly appreciated help of an anon from here or /his/ who renovated my Alchemy folder, we're not well over 5k items in the library. Didn't update much...added the new alchemy folder (listed as "improved alchemy" in the regular folder"), Added a single index of books added in the update folder.
We're now at 33.8 gb, 476 folders, and 5047 individual texts or files. Wouldn't have made it this far without anons wanting or submitting files. Thanks guys :^)
I used to be deeply into the occult but ever since the blood moon last year I lost interest, what happened to me?
>>17194251
You lost interest.
>>17194214
I appreciate this. Just yesterday I was lamenting that 99% of the links to various books and grimoires in the sticky are no longer functioning.
let's get a true creepy stories thread going once again, since the last one was great.
i'll start
> be me a few years back
> 15
> there's a homeless guy lurking im the area me and my friends lived in
> he is called 'carneval' for god knows what reason
> go to a nearby shop near my house with some friends
> see carneval just standing in front of the store
> walk past him when i feel something touch my shoulder
> holyshit.jpg
> it's carneval's hand on my shoulder
> he starts to beg us for money, but all of my friends just laugh
> not me since i was scared shitless
> 10 min later we leave the store and he's still standing there as if he was waiting for us
> i pass him, this time with safe distance as he stares at me and smiles
> yellowteeth.gif
fast forward about 3 days
> it's sunday so i don't have school that day
> wake up about 9am
> decide to go to the same store for an enerydrink since i was planning to just play games all day
> as i'm approaching the front door of the shop i see something behind the other side of the shop
> guesswhoitis.mov
> it was carneval just smiling and looking at me with the "yay he actually came back" kind of face
> i just nope the fuck out of there straight home
> never been to that store again
> seen him around for a few times but just kept my distance
it doesn't seem so creepy but his facial expression just showed that he had bad intentions

Creepiest story in this thread so far.
Jeff the killer is another Mary sue in a poorly written creepypasta. Bleach is not flammable. How can brutal bullying drive you on the brink of madness to the point you will kill your whole family? Jeff the killer and all the other clones of him (*cough* Eyeless jack *cough* Jane the killer *cough* clockwork, etc.) are the bane to creepypasta. Creepypasta is dead because of Jeff and his clones. All the maggots that still feed of the rotting corpse of creepypasta are nothing but annoying fan girls.
I agree, creepypasta hasn't been good in a while. Also don't forget the Five Nights at Faggy's retards.
>MFW
retards talk about jeff the killers and other trash kid's creepypastas.
Jesus didn't die for our sins morons.
The only creepy thing about Jeff is his weird fanbase on Deviantart and Fanfiction and whatnot. How can anyone romanticize/sexualize a serial killer with a smile carved into his face?

Whats the creature? SM U 28...... was it a giant crocodile or a sea monster?
>>17206824
Swamp gas.
It was only Venus
>>17206824
Looks like a large saltwater crocodile. It may be from a yet to be discovered species of crocodilian, but it definitely looks like it comes from that family.
