Do you actually believe that magic is real? Or is it like a metaphor for something else?

If you think any of it was real, can you tell me 1 thing you actually believe you accomplished through magic?

I'm just curious if we live in the same reality or if I should just think you are insane.

When you say it's psychological, what does that actually mean?

Do you believe anyone has the ability to cast spells that can impact objects or other people? Or by psychological, do you mean that there is no external impact of 'magic' on the world besides what you think in your own mind? Can you give me an example of what you are describing so I can better understand?

Thanks for your reply.

Ok, but can you give an example of how you actually do what you claim?

1) What is a situation where you believe psychological 'magic' could be useful?

2) How do you actually preform this 'magic'?

3) What impact does the 'magic' have on you and on the world around you that helps overcome the issue you are trying to solve?

So far it seems like you have given very broad and vague answers with very little in the way of specifics, which does nothing to assuage skeptics like myself who think its all BS.

What makes your 'psychological magic' any different from meditation or prayer? If the effects are purely psychological, then it isn't really magic is it.... It's just conditioning yourself to think a way that's different from how you usually do. There's really nothing 'magic' about that...

So if all you believe in is that you can condition your mind through meditation to be happier and more efficient, then why hide behind the 'occult' and 'magic' BS?

Seems like it's really distracting from the message that you are actually pushing. I believe that meditation can help to make you psychologically more healthy. I just don't believe there's anything magical about it. It could be understood with science if we had enough time and resources to fully investigate it.

Why choose to alienate the vast majority of the people you talk to when your beliefs aren't really any different than "Hey meditation can make you mentally feel better"?
