Welcome to Gaia! ::

For the most part, I'm in your shoes. I want physical, visible proof of magick's existence. However, it seems to me that in order to experience magic, you have to be open to the idea.

A part of me thinks that alot of what people think they experience is all in their head; they wish to believe something badly enough that they convince their concious mind that there is a sensation there that really isn't. While it's still possible that this can account for some cases, a good friend of mine (the one who introduced me to magick) has made enrgy balls for me to feel, and even gifted me some energy (it felt prickly- almost hurt). So, I suppose it's really something you need to experience yourself, but you won't be able to do it in an instance. There's no quick fix; you'll have to practice for a bit. It really helps to know someone in real life to help you, but besides that, I can't suggest much since I'm still just learning myself.

I guess the best way to put it is for you to prove it to yourself. You have to want to believe in it in order to even give it a shot. Open your mind a bit, allow for the possibility to exist, and practice it yourself. Again, it really is best to have an experienced teacher; still, I'm sure one can self-teach. You just may not know what it is you're looking for.

This page could be a good starting point. Some of the stuff (like the elemental magicks and telekinesis) look hokey, but the energy exercises in the beginning magick section are pretty good. I haven't adapted my senses yet, so I haven't been able to see anything, but I've felt things quite strongly. This afternoon I made my most potent energy ball thus far; I could actually feel it pushing back. My hands felt like two repelling magnets.

I guess I'm as willing as I am to believe in auras and energy manipulation simply because they confirm beliefs and theories I've made myself. How some people seem to inadvertently affect those around them, how people can sense others' emotions, that you can control your own aura, etc. To each their own, though. My fiancee refuses to believe anything until I can actually see it. If you still think it's an illusion, that's fine. If you try it, though, even if you don't come away with magickal abilities, you'll at least develop decent mental control and clarity. It's mostly all about meditation and focusing your mind.

Then let me say something like that...
If you believe in the existance of reality, and claim that it does exist. then you should very well be able to prove it's real...

One can't prove something even if it does exist... but one can prove that something doesn't exist...


Instead of believing everything is false until proven true... Think the opposite... Everything is true until proven false.

Every theory in the world are taken as true until someone else show that it was wrong at some point and bring up a new theory that nearer to the true.

That not what I said... don't change my words..

Someone bring a theory with the proof that the last one wasn't fully correct..

In the time were people though the earth was flat.. Someone though it was round and looked for the proof that it wasn't flat by going one way to the other around the Earth

in medicin, People will follow protocols until someone bring a new one with the proof the previous one isn't as effective as the new one

You can't disprove the existence of anything physical, but you can generally prove it (unless you're a diehard philosophical retard who says 'how can you KNOW the table is REALLY there?"). That's why I prefer mathematics: you can both prove things exist and disprove other things' existence.

What your talking about seems like schrodinger's cat... Though I don't think I spelled that right...? XD

Or used it in the right context, for that matter... ^-^;;;
