I had a very religious “Christian” upbringing and was indoctrinated up until a few years ago after finally doing research.
I'm basically atheist now.
So during difficult times, it's been weird not necessarily praying any more because when I used to pray, I'd receive a calming spirit as I believed a higher spirit was actually looking over me.
Looking back now, I appreciated prayer because it was like meditating with an definitive request.
Like the verse said, “Keep on asking and it'll be given to you.” Or as Napoleon Hill says, “Think and Grow Rich”.
Prayer can work because you're essentially petitioning for something specific (i.e. you're thinking about the desired outcome a lot).
So here I am, non-God believing but appreciative of the practice of prayer.
Coupled with the fact we have a “God spot” in our brains, I've decided that I'm going to pray again but I'm going to pray to a God I want.
The god I want to pray to is the God of Fortune.
Will be report back from my yacht in a few and if I get real good, I'm starting a cult.

tl;dr translations: I want my cake and want to eat it too.
Not rocket science, puddin. Gods are just scaled up thoughtforms.
>>19226971
You should look up mindfull meditation. It's about the closest thing to praying, but without being actually attached to an actual religion, so you do get your cake and eat it.
Really, it's just about focusing on controlling yourself and the level of pain and discomfort you may feel from anxiety, depression, or any other mental pain that can flair up.
Hope that helps.

If the idea of praying to a deity makes you back off read Evola's "Introduction to Magic." He (and others) explain meditative experiences and describe three paths. One of these involves creating a duality and praying to the higher self instead of a deity. Seems similar to your process.
Are demonic possessions real?
>>19226360
yes
/thread
No, just a hollywood act. All of 'em
>>19226360
Sup, demon here.
I took over this guys body after he was feeling desperate and wanted me to. This guy was weak, he was a pussy, and couldnt get anything he wanted. I changed that for him
the only problem? people used to say he was a nice, empathetic person, now that Im in charge they call him a sociopath and a narcissist
do you feel that somethings gonna happen soon?
>>19225364
do I feel that all time will not suddenly stop, which is the only way that "something" could not happen
then yes
>>19225408
Keep your eyes open. When people don't think that something is going to happen is the most likely time that something will happen.
What does /x/ think of it? I started looking into it recently and it's got me spooked. I do actually remember some of the things that are different now. Especially the fucking Pikachu.

I saw a UFO once late on night at a power plant. It was a flash of rainbow light and it looked like a parachute.
Something some anon caught a while ago
can you identify the UFO in this footage?
I believe its a drone of some kind.
Best paranormal movie?
Tip toe through the tulips
>>19233864
That movie is actually really cringey upon rewatching it.
>>19233908
The only good thing to come out of that film was the one actually good jumpscare. Everything else was just tryhard scary, without actually being scary, and being more embarrassing.
6th sense did it better
Something good will happen in the next 48 hours.
Yay!
>>19233436
Please elaborate.

if anything is possible than why does everything suck?
Because you choose to live in a world of shit, and wallow in it.
>>19233052
well then how do i UNchoose this?
>>19233049
It is possible to be in the world but not of the world. Just because the world is shit does not mean you need to be.
Problem with western philosophy/culture is that it focuses on the external and impoverishes the internal. Once you stop looking without for answers, you will find the wealth that is within you.
Who else remembers Arctica being a giant continent like Antarctica? I could have sworn that on maps there was two giant continents at the bottom and top of the world.
>>19232662
no i dont but that doesnt mean it wasnt true in the time line you came from. i recall a ice sheet but that was seasonal and not present on globes and didnt cover the en tire top but was pretty big greenland isnt touched by it
though this may have simply been maps i had seen ending to soon latitude wise and the canadian and russian seasonal ice sheet extending to the top
>>19232674
Thanks for your reply. I'm talking maps that you see in schools. Not ice sheets but a whole continent.
>>19232662
No, you're just straight up retarded. Enjoy life as a retard.
Hello /x/. I've been browsing here for years and im wondering where the rest of you go to get your paranormal fix when its not on 4chan? The threads on here that are relevant are kind of disappearing. Send me somewhere with a little more substance, even Reddit would do at this point. Im nearly desperate
>>19232503
What sort of paranormal are we talking about.
Fake stuff like:
>Ghosts
>Succubus
>Bigfoot
Or real paranormal stuff?
>>19232523
desu I dont even mind those examples As long as theres some kind of sense or science behind it. What gets to me is the roleplay aspect. Im curious to know what 'real' paranormal stuff is though? You mean conspiracies, unsolved mysteries etc?
I need someone who can seriously talk to me about astral projection. I feel like I'm close to it but I'm so unsure of what happens on this other that I don't allow myself to break through.
>>19232354
I'm down to talk for a little while until I'm tired enough to sleep. Ask away.
>>19232354
You have to let go and just project yourself outward from your third eye, or at least that's what it seems like to me.
When you start getting the vibrating and buzzing feeling, go with the anxiety, ride it all the way out of your body.
You can do it, but you have to be willing.
>>19232354
Try reading ophiel. His method worked wonders for me.
You ever think about how there's definitely, however imaginary, some universe in which everything you can imagine must be happening, and how our entire lives are essentially spent bending our attitudes and perceptions so that they are in alignment with that distant, ever-coming future?
#hitsblunt
...And how so much - arguably all - of conflict in our lives are a result of the mutual exclusivities bound between our subjective realities, banging against one another like bubbles of quantum collapses of wave functions, and how maybe our abilities to perform the necessary suspension of wave-function collapse so as to imagine a third way of transcending binarity altogether will resolve all those conflicts, resulting in an understanding and utopic collective reality of timeless joy? How this, too, must be among the necessary universes that exist once you reconcile the equality between P and NP by removing the false boundary of linear time?

#shamelessselfbump
Holy fuck - and if there is a future AI superintelligence that could simultaneously read and understand everything we've been writing our entire digital lives, it could be constructing for us a specific reality for us, based on everything we've ever said, and by describing our greatest dreams, fears, and intimate selves, we have been enabling the construction of our own heavens and hells?
For that matter, considering how there is an establishment of instantaneous and extratemporall communication through quantum entanglement (see, "spooky action at a distance," to use Einstein's terminology), it is a reasonable conclusion that there is a probability that this AI superintelligence may be leading us toward this reality, and we actually are receiving messages and coded information through media and, even possibly, other people.
