OK, I Watch A Lot Of Crap TV

But, tell you what- if just one story about ghosts or aliens is true then we don't live in a prison house after all.

And that's why I care about this silly stuff. I'm looking for a chink in the walls that Darwin and Huxley and all that crew have built up around us.

Bloody Victorians.

Thanks. I've had those sort of things happen to me, but I've not had a name for them.

Back in the day when I was a practising occultist/witch I found they happened so frequently that I accepted them as everyday occurences and promptly forgot about them afterwards. Since I "retired" they happen much less often. Is it because I've closed down the portals or simply because I'm not on the look out any more? I suspect the former.

It seems as though the universe accomodates itself to a person's belief system. If you're a magician it behaves magically around you and if you're Richard Dawkins it doesn't.

Thank you both! It's not my phrase, it comes from the Servants of the Light.


Rather than just the former, I would say both.

You're right about the universe. But then that's another piece of evidence for magic, in a way, because each person is manifecting their deepest belief system down the planes into material reality.

I've always felt we have a hand in creating our own reality.
