okay to answer your questions since for the first time you seem to have responded somewhat politely.if you go back and check your first interactions and post on this thread, you attempted to establish social dominance. at each step in response through the way your communications have been following this formula.your first and later responses all seem to be to borrow your words projecting.thank you for at least for the first time responding coherently.
you bring up a good point over separation and togetherness.the best answer is first you have to know the components to know the system.I never said they were separate. it's why I get have given you re way the whole time is because something told me that beyond your rudeness they're laid an actual practitioner. you can review my post and no point have I said they were separate.
you seem to have instinctually made that leap of logic.
the same also goes for the differences in responses.as much as everybody likes to think you can with the English language you're forced to use how shall we say different approaches when communicating with different individuals.ask for you putting together your post that in and of itself is for a completely different reason than you assume.a better way to put it is why do you think I asked you to combine your post

I'm just an odd duck I guess...
Anyhow, I do agree. It's important to understand other belief systems and people. Some people just don't need to know that your a Witch. It could be for the benefit of keeping your job, or not offending your significant other's parents, or just out of respect that you know, that person can't handle the truth!
Ah, to keep silent. Cirque

I hope your not driving while using your cell phone; I hope that you dont think I dont have a very good vocabulary and have to 'talk down' to me as you would/have to some of the posters here, as if you dont speak the same way to everyone, you are misjudging char-Actor and have no authority to do so. No true magickian has to defend itself as it is in a sense 'all knowing" or at least has some maturity/wisdom and would not show the paranoia you have ("someones out to GET ME made threats" You are ridiculous and not to be believed.edit on 16-7-2013 by vethumanbeing because: (no reason given)

All of those bits and pieces of information you have collected, remembered are part of your grand puzzle; for me its a connect the dots, and it spans religion, philosophy, the paranormal, the Magickal arts, ALL OF IT is your personal journey, as mundane or obsure or strange as they are fill in blanks. Even the oddist, genetic mutation is a favorite of mine. This is all about putting the whole of the information together to make sense of us.

Now your sounding like a student
At some point though, you have to do the work, you have to get your feet wet. You can connect all the dots in the universe, but until you make them real, they are just dots in an empty sky No substance, no validity in cause and effect, no REALITY, hence, no majic.

As to your question of changing a paradigm, that would greatly depend on your definition of paradigm. If we're talking a life and death situation of a single individual, than yes I have. However if we're talking a mindset of a social conglomerate ie: a government, than no, I have not attempted such a feat.

I am still not going to get mad you.. You will have to try harder then that..
Again VHB, you insult someone who has not been rude to you in the first place. Then get mad when their POV is not yours..I have to tell you honestly I am beginning to believe this..
Your showing signs of mental health issues with misplaced anger and aggression
This is very common in magic.. This disability has given you an insight.The main question is if it is body based, magic based, or the combination of the two..Your response do indicate some form of transcendence.. Now I have to wonder..The responses are reaching the point I have had observed in conversations with addicts.. The burnt out factor... You do have me worried that this is the case..I know someone abused their trust with you know..You dialogue has gotten worse.. then it will get better for a post or two.. Then back to this..
I am still not going to report you to the mods.. I am just going to place my money down on this and record it.
I also said if it makes you feel better just keep letting it out..There go I except for grace..
I do have to ask you show a little bit more respect in your responses to others.. Me I do not mind.. They deserve better form you and you know this..LOLand just for youevil LOL BTW.. I still find your signature funny
Maybe laughter would help

LOLLike I said if it makes you feel better..I do know I asked the mods to allow a little bit more leeway... these practice of magics causes emotions to rise.. even the basic discussions of the subject cause heated arguments..I also asked you to be polite to the members responding to your post
Almost Each time you respond it seems to contain an attempt at social dominance.. It seems to be from some perceived wrong I am being associated with...
The subtly of these basics have aggravated you from the beginning.
I did tell you from the get go I would not lie to you.. This is what my mind is getting from our conversations...
Reiki (霊気?, /ˈreɪkiː/) is a spiritual practice[1] developed in 1922 by Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui, which has since been adapted by various teachers of varying traditions. It uses a technique commonly called palm healing or hands on healing as a form of alternative medicine and is sometimes classified as oriental medicine by some professional medical bodies.[2] Through the use of this technique, practitioners believe that they are transferring universal energy (i.e., reiki) in the form of qi (Japanese: ki) through the palms, which they believe allows for self-healing and a state of equilibrium.[3]
Sleep is a naturally recurring state characterized by reduced or absent consciousness, relatively suspended sensory activity, and inactivity of nearly all voluntary muscles.[1] It is distinguished from wakefulness by a decreased ability to react to stimuli, and is more easily reversible than being in hibernation or a coma. Sleep is a heightened anabolic state, accentuating the growth and rejuvenation of the immune, nervous, skeletal and muscular systems. It is observed in mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish.

Perhaps this is off topic, but I would like to know if anyone knows anything about dragon magic and forbidden magic.More specifically, contact with dragons and warnings from such creatures about sharing knowledge.
As weird as that sounds.
