Many philosophies/self-disciplines focus on a similar set of axioms for getting the mind ready for the task at hand.
Throughout this conversation we have covered a variety of topics as it relates to state of mind and magic.
Would you say at this point you feel the same about 'harmful' magic?
In what manner will you be able to distinguish when this 'harm' is actually 'harmful'

Hi Cora 'Sahn, We have covered and talked in quite a few areas, which has been helpful. I feel a bit better now, through talking. I've given the Betty Shine a rest for a bit, and actually letting my own mind think for itself!
Sometimes, that's all it takes. To recognize the influence (programming) and choosing (Willfully) to change the channel.
A dive into Socratic Method and/or Skeptical Inquiry could do you some good to discover what YOU think about any given subject, vs. what another person has told you to think.
When the stars are right...

Quiet an interesting two way discussion. Glad many of us did not interrupt the trend, it was an eye opener a very good one.

[teal]I feel like you missed the point of the whole "Belief is Reality" jazz there.[/teal]

I notice, ironically, that with these arguments about magic, and the forum maxim of 'Belief is Reality', people were very quick to 'lay the law down'. They soon asserted what they felt magic was, or ridiculed someone if they proffered a concept that they disagreed with! Says it all, really!
People? Are these generalizations conducive to your understanding? What people laid down the law, as you stated? Who are 'they'?? In what manner were you ridiculed?
Disagreement is a necessary friction to invoke a change in thought or direction; especially if you are stagnating.
What says it all specifically?
Belief is Reality is a deconstruction of your current perception of what "reality" is, and constructing a new reality by nurturing belief in the desired reality.
For example:
If you believe: I can't. This 'I can't' then becomes a perceived set of limitations, and part of your present reality.
If you foster a new belief: I can. This takes effort to see yourself performing an action. If you can imagine it, you will find a way to manifest it if you want it bad enough for yourself.
Contextual example:
"I can't write." If you believe this to be true, you will make no attempt to write.
"I can write." If you believe this to be true, you will make an attempt to write, and will write.

Thank you for clarification. I did not imagine that it was 'I' you were referring to.
At any rate, I think we each assert and impose our beliefs onto others. There are pros and cons to imposing our views. There is a level of arrogance displayed by some who believe they are on the righteous path. Personally, I take no issue with the arrogant provided there is something of worth behind said arrogance.
Example, one could tell you that you are a fool, and proceed to ridicule your beliefs. They could then puffer their beliefs up as the 'most high'. In a setting such as this, what value does that really hold to you? Perhaps you might find some value in what they have to say. Or,you could choose to take it with a grain of salt.
I suppose it's a matter of personal taste and preference.

I agree. Getting proper sleep is essential to the being functioning optimally.
What is the Aura to you?

Let me re-phrase the question. I am privy to the definition of an Aura. I am asking you, how you use the Aura yourself, and when getting improper sleep, what effect does it have on you (if any)?

That didn't quite answer my question. Are you stating that this exercise protects you from 'negative vibrations' and if so, how do you identify these 'negative' forces if you are in a bubble?

I have recently begun to attend Christian Spiritualist meetings. The clairvoyants give participants messages about loved ones who have 'passed over' into Spirit. They believe (or 'know') about life after death. A book I have on the subject enables people, through meditation, to contact their own Spirit Guide. It takes a long time to become versed in this kind of 'magic' though.
How do you justify a belief in their credibility to hold such knowledge?

And you don't think that some form of thought magic is being performed on you to alter your reality?

This is what most mystery schools refer to as 'initiation', this cult included. I wonder, have you delved into our paradigm at all?
As for the blind, one of the most prolific cases is Hellen Keller. The brain can and will adapt, I wouldn't necessarily call this 'psychic power', but I understand why parapsychology uses this term.
