'i looked up Lyn Scully, and only found personal pages (in a few clicks) and no Lyn Scully life coaches, but perhaps you got that i was saying i am not a cheesy big toothed person who charges 89.95 for a set of tapes to remedy problems in your life, the sources of which are never addressed.'
She is from an Australian Soap Opera called neigbours. Don't worry about it. I think you have missed the point. One light hearted statement has turned into some kind of point of research. I am sorry you cannot tell the difference between what joke are, and what the points I am trying to make are. Then again, this is a posting about 'chi' in hands...[right][snapback]657577[/snapback][/right][/quote]
i never took it personally and was only trying to add to the joke, let's drop it.
i was emphasising your assumtions of what i beleive at a lower piece of the thread and you keep associating it here. If you don't like it stop doing it.
[quote]'Um, weren't you born in 1990?
At fifteen it would be impossible to not be shocked when studying world religions, unless at fifteen you know everything about every one of the tens of thousands of religions which exist that we know about and define.
But anyone would be shocked if they study quantum physisc and world religions and accept them all in the same form of reality. The unifying concepts become astounding.'
No, I was not born in 1990. I am a student.[/quote]
oops, "25th June 1988, 7:30 pm and London."
ok so your 17, you still don't know enough not to be astounded.
[quote]It would be impossible for you to know everything about all the worlds religions, you are not making a point here, if you are trying to, please clarify.[/quote]
i never claimed to know everything about all world religions at 27, that would be silly. My p;oint is that you do not know enough not to be astounded at 17.
[quote] If you would care to explain these 'unifying concepts' I would be greatful, you talk about them at great lengths and yet you give little explanation to what they are. I am sitting exams at the moment so I will not be able to go through the reading material.
I am sure it cannot be that astounding.[/quote]
ok. Start a thread about the unifying concepts of world religions made possible by quantum theory, and i will explain at great length what i mean. If you do not feel you can be astounded or knocked down flat on your face in the humblenesss of true awe, i am sad for you in that.
[quote]' do not debate from the perspective of the person who chooses which threads belong where.
i have distinctly written the word very few times, and i write"para"normal.
Because, though this can be construed as paranormal, it is actually just normal.
Not every offshhot of origional conversation will be filed the same as the subject of the original conversation, that would be silly.'
You are making little sense here, I seem to understand what you mean, but your constant talk of perspectives etc is going to my head.[/quote]
Do you uderstand what i mean by perspective?
[quote] You are being very wordy for simple points.
Obviously from what you are saying, reiki is not normal, it is paranormal.[/quote]
What are you basing that on?
[quote] Your last statement has little relevance to the argument. I can understand what it means, but what is the point of it? Reiki is 'paranomal', just as chi, associated with making energy balls, is.[/quote]
My point is that Reiki techniques and effects are normal, just as chi, associated with making energy balls is.
i as an unintentional offshoot debate do not agree that many of the things you are concidering paranormal are para anything, they are just natural factions of life in this reality.
[quote]Yes it would be very silly, which is why I am associating the paranormal topics together.
'Says the person who has argued the very liniar perspective of viewing your perspective as the one everyone thinks from at root.'
Your comment, "I am sorry but I think this whole topic is silly, darling, therefore I am finding it immensely hard to keep a straight face."
may have been scincere, ok, so was mine before it. How objective was your response?
If you so devoutly find this topic so silly and trivial, why are you still debating here? '
I understand, but please clarify in future. Maybe everyone thinks it from the root because the majority of people are not dreamers, or possibly gullible.[/quote]
again what makes you think everyone thinks like you at root.
[quote] You apparently have proof of these 'gifts', I do not, which is proof enough. If I was speaking to an 80 year old Monk, then I would be more inclined to value what they say and be open minded in my beliefs.[/quote]
Everyone has a concept created in their mind of where knowledge comes from. Sometimes it is an indian guru or an 80 year old monk. From my opinion...and all that jazz...
THIS IS WRONG!!!!!!!
Knowledge does not come from any predetermined source, but every predetermined source. Every single solitary energetic encounter you have can yeild tremendous amoounts of mentaql progression. If you denty all of it but that what comes in the physical body you expected, think of how much knowledge you miss. Don't stay ignorant for mental fashions sake. (mental fashion being the style of your "perspective")
[quote]As it so happens, I am talking to you on a paranormal forum, which I write on in a part of my free time, for fun and to see other peoples ideas.[/quote]
Yay!
What a perfect place for me to come debate the supernatural nature of what we discuss and try to bring it into a realm of the normal.
[quote]'Sarcasm doesn't ever work without voice inflection and facial expression there is no sarcasm on posts unless it is conveyed, usually in type or smileyface. It is impossible for you post to be read and sarcasm assumed, unless you are REALLY drastic with it.'
I am finding this very hard to believe, I cannot believe you could have missed such blatant, in your face sarcasm. From the beginning of these posts I have been arguing against your point of view- the idea that energy can be used, manipulated, spiritual/mental healing- things like that (don't nit pick). Then, I say I have psychic abilites. This is obviously a joke. It is evident that you have conquered the impossible, just as you seem to have with your extraordinary abilities.[/quote]
But that is just it i've only mastered the possible, so sue me for being able to fathom that you may have too.
[quote]'It is the same concept of particles, and no you don';t touch for static electricity, you almost touch a hand or a doorknow or whatever. Let's drop these chintzy cheezy trivializing terminology, shall we?'
Yes, you don't touch, but you have to be very, very close. In a the psi vampire thread we have been referring to, you agreed with him/her when she/he said that they could leech energy from people. They made it clear that they could do this from a fair distance, much too far for static energy. Therefore...[/quote]
To do what could be termed psi vamping you would have to be very skilled to effect people over distances, or be very passionate about it.
Regardless i was using a similarity between the particle arrangement of static electricity and bioenergy. i did not mean to imply that they are the same thing on a macrobiotic level.
[quote]'People have an electromagnetic bioenergetic body, they effect people with it without understanding it because they do not know. That is what the thread is about, labels aside.'
It is not wise to make statements like this without a lot of proof and links to back it up. I have heard nothing of this energy, but I am not focusing on its alleged existence. You are saying that people effect other people with their own energy, this is actually complete nonsense.
I need no links to back that up.[/quote]
Once again i refuse to cease arguing about things that you specifically are ignorant of.
i state that your perspective is not the collective perspective (and neither is mine, or anybody's)
and there is no rule that says i have to pander to the lowest common denominator.
i am not saying that is you. But if i have to pander to your level of understanding i have to keep to everyones as well. including the lowest common denominator. And at that point i fail to see the point in participating. Like you are here for fun and growth, so am i.
[quote]'i am responding to them as though they are telling the truth because it is sort of like they are saying "when i get mad at my dog for peeing on the carpet, i go run down pedestrians with my car. It makes me feel better."
So i feel someone who know that there is such a thing to be happening should step in and warn them that such behavior, much like whacking peds, has concequences.'
I do not think you should respond to them in such a way, it is irresponsible. These people believe they have such gifts, you encouraging them makes things worse, it increases self-delusion.
If they did exist, they you still have no right to warn them, you are not fully aware of the consequences as you are not some kind of energy god. You could be doing much worse than them, if you had such powers.[/quote]
It is not irressponsible, i speak from experience, direct observational and otherwise.
Trust me on this one folks, if you produce badnesss you will get badnesss, if you are nice life is nicer. This applies whether i am right about such things existing or if you are right about such things not existing.
[quote]'The first rule of anything, but especially life and existence is;
DON'T BE STUPID!!!!!!'
God, you really need to listen to your own adivce. I have said very little stupid comments, compared to yours that is. People in glass houses...[/quote]
Don't take it personally, i wasn't saying you were or did anything stupid, i am saying messing with other peoples realities in a knowingly negative way is stupid.
Now you are just telling me i'm stupid?
That is not a debate.
That is a cop out.
You do not understand what i am saying (you say) so you do not know if me or my comments are stupid.
[quote]'why?
What are you basing that on, that everyone agrees with your perspective of discountance of anything you seem to define as "woo-woo"?
i never said you were alone, i said i was not alone. We are not two black and white opposing enetities. You never know we may even have a few things we agree on!!!
Whoah, DUDE, no way!!!!'
I think you are lacking in seeing how other people think. If you tell me that you are not alone, in a somewhat sarcastic way, you are implying, whether you know it or not, that I am alone in my beliefs. That is why I responded so.
The last thing you said...funny...[/quote]
It is funny that after i said sarcasm was only effective with notation, you still somehow managed to misconsrue my serious statement of support as sarcasm. So i was actually implying no such thing, that is just your personal neurosis, please don't try to wipe that slimey stuff off on me, i didnot say that.
[quote]'Regardless i know it exists, if you are still haveing trouble realizing, Reiki exists, i could try to scan a copy of my degree from an accreditted university. Oh just to save you your next semantical arguement, i do mean a degree in Reiki.'
This is a very patronising statement, it worsens your argument. I am having no trouble whatsoever in believing the existence of Reiki, you have not been listening to my argument in your desperation to promote your own achievments. I deniend the paranomal aspect of reki, not its existence as a calming technique etc.[/quote]
ok, you want to give me egotistical moments so bad... wanna hear it here it go...
That is silly, because i did not even remotely begin to tout my achievements!
There, feel better, now leave my ego out of this, i am desperatly trying to, i was asked to state my univerity of accredidation, so i did, get over it.
[quote]A degree in reiki, well done; it bring very little to the argument. Am I going to have to take your word for it that it is an accredited university?[/quote]
It proves reiki exists
"Reiki...I am guessing that is some kind of form of spiritual healing? Well breathing patterns and excersise and waving your hands over someone may well calm then, and make feel better about themselves. However I seriously doubt there is anything remotely paranormal involved."
Mr. Ed~
This quote continued into your argueing various point of reiki from various perspectives, i have tried to keep up, but it was only an example in the first place.
[quote]'i am not talking about the life coaching joke. i was talking about the fact that based on what little you had assessed of me on this site you assumed that i believe everything that you concider to be paranormal. These are wild assumptions.'
I never said that I considered everything I believe to be paranormal, you believe in.[/quote]
Nice.

You may want to reread that.
[quote] I made one link between you and the psi vampire subject, and you have again, greatly exaggerated.[/quote]
You actually used two examples, i could go find the quote for you, but i am tired and going to bed, semantics arguements centering on no decisive central subject are tiring.
[quote]However, if I was to make such assumptions in the future, they would not be wild. They could be assumptions, but they most definitely would not be wild ones.
[/quote]
That's right because everybody thinks just like you, except the one person you are talking to at the moment and after the convo. they always agree with you again. Now that was sarcastic.
