No just with a ‘c’. He is a historian, and expert in occultism. He is not writing like a practicioner but like a theologist or a sort of religious studies. I was very interested in this at the time and even tried for a while to study religion at some uni courses but personal life got in the way. Anyways, it is an excellent book in that it will just present to you practice and belief from a non-indulgent perspective.

hobbydrama!

I believe you! But the imagery of a group of tripping people staring at lights in the sky is pretty funny as well :p

Reminds me of doing shrooms with a guy I met at Freqs Of Nature festival, he tells me “I need to sit down a bit” so we do, and after an hour of silence goes “woah. I was just contacted by aliens”.

Man I will never forget his face, stone serious. We went back and danced after that.

I wanted to share some unexplainable experiences while on psychedelics but since you are on psychs no one believes you :(

The Black Arts by Richard Cavendish

I don’t remember the specifics of the mental process, this was like 8 years ago. But it was some sort of manifestation technique, probably in the first half of the book

Oh lol yeah. I did “magic” once and it freaked me out so bad I never tried it again.

So I was a bit of an edgy person and fascinated by religion. I bought a book about black magic on ebay or some shit, it came with a drop of blood from the previous owner I realized when I got it in the mail, which was kind of creepy bit you know, authentic?

So yeah, I am reading and it is fascinating stuff. I love the overall concepts and the metaphysical implications, but you know, I don’t actually believe in that stuff, so I decide to try it out…

The next day I go to work in a factory, we built trucks/lorries or what it is called in english. I try the techniques I read in the book, about highly specific manifestation and willing into existence. I visualize a sort of trade, and specify the factory will stop for an extended period of time, but not enough to cause any irrepairable economic harm or loss of employment, and certainly no physical or great emotional harm, only economical at a level far removed from the average floor worker. About an hour goes by, and everything stops. Apparently, the engines have not arrived from Germany, due to some delivery chain issue. We cannot continue the line as we are out of engines and they can only be inserted at one specific point, so everything stops until we get more. We all laugh and start just chilling around the factory, there is nothing to do anyways and we already cleaned everything imaginable the first 30 minutes or so (you would not believe how fast cleaning gets done when over a thousand people are ordered to clean because “well we can’t just have you standing around”). Now I want to make clear no big stop like this ever happened in my entire time there, especially not because of something that wasn’t a big fuckup by someone on site. I got kind of freaked out and never really touched that book again lol.

I have some other ones, but no one else was around for those so they are easier to just blame on me not being very mentally stable at the time.

Hey man, I can quit whenever I like… Just one more draft and I’ll hit the big leagues

MTGA. Lots of fun.

This happened to about five of my 360 games. I was so disappointed when I set it up after YEARS and went to play old favorites and the discs were rotted…

So you think they will get sued by Nintendo?

God damnit. I thought it was gonna be interesting. Thanks for the warning.

Maybe it is a toy, or like a fidget spinner. Idn I stim a lot that looks like it would be awesome for stimming, first thought.

So awesome! That’s what communication does :) if someone is right for you, being honest is always the best way to understand what works for eachother!

Very glad it all worked out. This is how it should feel when you open up to someone that cares about you.

Mad levels of respect for these people

So like, I wasn’t much better when I was 21, but I do think you did go a bit far here.

It is not your place to ban him or control what he does online, you can however tell him it makes you sad that he watches others. You said as much ypurself and you should probably explain and apologize for the overreach, but explain why. I personally think that watching porn has nothing to do with any partber you may have. It is not a real relationship and possibly even a problem he has, no way to know. What it doesn’t do tho is reflect on you. Finding any other person attractive doesn’t mean he doesn’t find you attractive, there is no correlation.

You should talk it out, without blaming him but explaining that it makes you worried and sad and why, and unless you present it like “he should have known” he will listen if he cares about you. This is not a he problem or a you problem it is a plural you problem (god this sounds better in languages with more exact wording…)

My 4GBs agree. I literally cannot use discord. It takes ridiculous amounts of resource because you are meant to goddamn live in it, not just chat.

If they had I would have welcomed any potential AI overlords. I want a massive dial up in the middle of town, sounding its boot signal across the land. Idk this was an odd image I felt like I should share it…

A rep for the Centerparti literally used this argument on the news today, they are very against it. It is just a proposal at the moment, even the military passovely criticized it as they use Signal for communication.

Hopefully that’s enough for it not to pass but you never know. If it passes that’s a new low.
