[5] Social Shifts, Psionics and the Point of No Return (unfinished draft)

June 29th, 2009  |  Published in spirituality

From what I’ve described of my little path thus far, the skeptic in me and in you (that is you?) can say: That’s all kinda iffy still, Zas. Like a lot. Like, you’re crazy and irrational. Obviously jumping into ridiculous fantasies to combat either some crappy shit in your life lately or utter boredom. I pity you.

The believer in me and in you (that is you?) can say: You’re off to a good and cautious start, Zas. But you’re still really limiting yourself, you know . . . You should try EFT/The Bible/Scientology/Chaos Magic/Reiki/Some other specialized option within the whole.

So it’s a good time to describe my Point of No Return with this. The most convincing doorway for me, which lead to my most convincing results . . . Read the rest of this entry »

[4] Erin Pavlina Broke My Speakers (unfinished draft)

June 28th, 2009  |  Published in Uncategorized, spirituality

I was hanging out in the bath tub thinking about how, if I had money to spare, I’d like to give Erin Pavlina a call and see how that would work out. As I mentioned before, I gauged that other psychic’s ability at 60%. Which of course actually came down to how well my own shaping abilities of the universe measure up. Read the rest of this entry »

[3] Numerology and The Purple Dice (unfinished draft)

June 28th, 2009  |  Published in spirituality

When that first psychic I visited was telling me that purple was a special color for me and that it would help me build those aspects of myself, I was a little amused. The day before, I had bought some dice at a comic shop in order to experiment more with probability (related to explorations with psionics.) When I was choosing from the many different dice, I decided to grab some purple ones.

The cute comic nerd looked at me in teasing disbelief. He said, “Purple!?”

I said, “Purple.” Read the rest of this entry »

[2] Energy Healing, Mystical Kabbalah, and The Placebo Effect (unfinished draft)

Phrases you never expected to see yourself using:
“So I called the phone number for the mystical kabbalah class that the psychic gave to me . . .” Read the rest of this entry »

[1] Psychic J (unfinished draft)

June 28th, 2009  |  Published in spirituality

So, I searched up psychics within my area. I found a list of possibilities and selected one based upon reviews/recommendations and just convenience.

It’s hard to explain this. Because it’s not like I’m acting as paranormal investigators might, trying to find evidence of what does or does not objectively exist in this world. Because nothing really does on the physical level from the dominant perspective I’m choosing to adopt for now, you know?

I went in simply assuming the psychic would represent a disconnect in reality. Something that doesn’t match up. Read the rest of this entry »

Changing Woman and Explorations of Paranormal Possibility (unfinshed draft)

June 28th, 2009  |  Published in spirituality

Paranormal investigation is a fun term. Of course, the phrase refers to things beyond the normal. That’s a little weird to think, kind of like the thought of something being “unnatural.” If it happened, how is it not a part of nature? If these things are capable of occuring, how are they not a part of what is normal? (You know what’s paranormal? YOUR FACE.)

Anyway, I thought I’d go ahead and lay out a bunch of specifics of where I’ve been these past couple months. From where I came from, this is a huge shift. So it is a very heavy path to follow. Read the rest of this entry »

Ending this procrastination life style . . .

June 28th, 2009  |  Published in general

I’m not even going to both making a “procrastination life” piece. Though that would be kinda funny . . .

Anyway, I have several blog entries written out related to the strange stuff into which I’ve gotten myself. There were several more planned, but . . . I’m not sure what it is. These explorations are more interesting than typing them out, really. And I want to make art related to (/encouraging) growing now, as opposed to confusion.

So, I’m planning to just go ahead and post all the drafts I’ve had sitting around. After I do that, I think I’ll post a summary of a few of the strange things which I haven’t been able to explain since the commencement of all this. Then maybe another post about the things that would benefit me even if I’d ended up being fully capable of saying that “the jury is out.” And maybe just some stuff about my changed respective relationships with the Scientific community and the scientific method . . .

So. Yeah. Ending this procrastination life style post now.

The topic of objective and subjective reality is one that I’m exploring a lot. I mentioned it in my last skepticism post. Read the rest of this entry »
