I believe it can be real. If you don’t know what you’re doing you can fuck some things up (if you’re talking about black and white magic as well). If you’re reading the material from a credible source and you continue to put together your spell or whatever, do it right or suffer consequences. I didn’t read too much on it and I think I may be effected by this. It’s a long story but I could be just paranoid, skeptic, a lunatic or probably just a dumbass but I don’t know.

Altering your brain chemistry to make you feel something that you wouldn’t feel normally doesn’t make it real.

or does it?? DMT?? how are we to say what is real or isnt real. Psychedelics can open doors to perception that maybe you cant see with out it…

My point is that drugs cannot make something real that isn’t already real. It may alter your perception of things and give you insight you didn’t have but it doesn’t change anything outside of your mind. If it could, then people would have already claimed that million dollar Randi prize.

well according to some, we only use 10% of our brains.  can you imagine the abilities we would have if we used like, 30 or 40%?

maybe those who practice this stuff use a larger percentage of there brains enabling them to predict things, and alter things.

Actually that is a myth. Just googling 10% brain myth will give you more info on that. It turns out that we use virtually every part of the brain, and that most of the brain is active almost all the time.

Can’t discount that the program didn’t exist but if there was any practical consistent results then we would not have so much trouble finding people that we are looking for. The “Stargate Project” referenced in the link was actually shut down due to it not really working.

“The foregoing observations provide a compelling argument against continuation of the program within the intelligence community. Even though a statistically significant effect has been observed in the laboratory, it remains unclear whether the existence of a paranormal phenomenon, remote viewing, has been demonstrated. The laboratory studies do not provide evidence regarding the origins or nature of the phenomenon, assuming it exists, nor do they address an important methodological issue of inter-judge reliability.

 Further, even if it could be demonstrated unequivocally that a paranormal phenomenon occurs under the conditions present in the laboratory paradigm, these conditions have limited applicability and utility for intelligence gathering operations. For example, the nature of the remote viewing targets are vastly dissimilar, as are the specific tasks required of the remote viewers. Most importantly, the information provided by remote viewing is vague and ambiguous, making it difficult, if not impossible, for the technique to yield information of sufficient quality and accuracy of information for actionable intelligence. Thus, we conclude that continued use of remote viewing in intelligence gathering operations is not warranted.”

The results of the project remind me of the many “psychic” predictions of today where one says that the event was predicted after the event took place. That’s like shooting an arrow at the wall then painting the target around the arrow afterwards.

james randi is the shiznit.
