>in the 18th century, believing that cameras and mirrors damaged the souls of people was thought to be a superstition, if not a sign that indigenous peoples living traditional ways of life were primitive >in 2025, with everyone in the developed world carrying cameras in their pocket that can send moving images to anyone else with a camera in their pocket, people are going insane and developed societies are getting worse by all metricsWhere's the apologies?
Might as well bitch and complain about cars or tvs then.
>>41610098It's not the camera. It's the camera sending your image to billions of strangers at all times so your actions are now held responsible by more people than Dunbar's number.
its cause the shamans know you could also use it for black magic purposes. the merchant of death zaharoff famously didn't want his picture taken. zaharoff was rumored to be a high intiate or potential leader of the illuminati.there's a scene in texas chainsaw where one of the antagonists takes a pic of the future victims and burns it in a magical rite, but it comes across as random and wacky. there's also a funny scene in lawrence of arabia where one of the arabs mentions that cameras steal your soul.
>>41610955And radios, which do have occult origins
>>41612100Please tell me more about the occult origins of the radio, I've never heard of that.
>>41610098from what i gather, each photograph does snatch away just a tiny bit of whatever your essence is, during the manufacturing of the image. idk what the implications of the classic oil portraits would be, or the implications of drawing a quick pencil or pen sketch of someone from memory. or having voice recorded. but the ones that involve auto machines do require a bit of the person to be taken to make the product.this is called "the shadow" by some groups, idk if it's like the psychological shadow, but the shadow as in the 2D image you cast by blocking light. the imprint you leave. and you don't want to piss it away frivolously, you'd want to put it to good use, be frugal.>>41612105NTA, and seconding the request. >>41612100 but radios are a good example of magic telepathy being concrete real. whenever some hylic says some stupid dirt shit, i remind them that radios, tv, phones are deadass magic.>"i don't believe in fairies or genies">but do you believe in data waves that send signals to radios, telephones, computers?>"erm well uh hrm well um"
>>41610098
>>41612105Was wondering the same
>>41610098you ever looked at pictures? they carry the energetic imprint of whatever they took. plus its history. so you see the history of how the picture was taken and put up. until the point you encounter it and look into its past.they are really trippy.also to use black magick on someone, it helps.
>>41610098My dad one hundred percent believes this and hates mirrors and his picture being taken. I figure the damage is done. My image has been obliterated, or is used to curse me for sure. Maybe it goes both ways, if they have a link to you personally through your image and even through radio, you can fuck with them back. But it's tricky. Whatever.
>>41612105The first society to have a radio in almost every home through state-sponsored means so that specific individuals could be heard by anyone at any time was, in fact, early Nazi Germany. The Allies valued the Nazi's radio tech as much as they valued other advanced tech.
>cameras steal one's soulits an early form of copyright. since AI videos they returned to this, the image and voice of the self being their intellectual property.
>>41610098I think anyone who's lived in shitty places would agree with you, rape rings, savage male groups and religious fanatics sending pics of girls they want to target to one another is harrowing if you're not accustomed to stuff like it
>>41612271/x/ mofos when I hit them with that 40000 fps slow motion camera
>>41612582>you ever looked at pictures?nah what's that?
>>41614335A picture is literally worth a thousand words, for occult purposes, one only needs to see how many new branches of magical practices emerged as soon as it became possible to mass produce images with ease.
>>41610989Yeah, the 20th century truly was the satanic century at least partly because this became normalized.
bump
>>41610098It kind of does steal your soulAnd mirrorsYou walk around thinking about your imageActing like a woman. Mean and stupidWeak. Just awful
>>41610098mobile phones = "devil boxes"they have sucked everyone's souls out. everyone who owns one of those pieces of demonic trash. if nothing relied on apps to function, i would never have owned one at all. yes, i avoid people taking pictures of me as much as possible. i'm not superstitious or paranoid, it's the people taking the pictures who stare back at you like you're the caged animal at the zoo and you're just a fleeting emotion of entertainment for years to come, when the memes are just right.
>>41615599>/x/ mofos when I hit them with that 40000 fps slow motion camerathis lol, only if you are spiritually weak can you not take being observed or work with it. it doesn't take pieces of your energy away. but observing can be used to manipulate all sorts of entanglement, entanglement however is only present in specific atoms and there is no way to identify it except by feel.
>>41621303Spying bad
>>41610955I mean, yeah?
>>41610098the situations that would've allowed for whitey showing up with equipment that'd allow for photographs would've meant that the party was over for the traditional cultures in the region, can't fault them for that, like if you were a guy with four wives, three huts and 40 cows, life wasn't going to improve when Nigel and friends showed up to do formal ethnographies
>>41623925Third worldest gibberish
Bump because IA is down and I want to save this post
>>41614335Yeah, there's entire branches of magical arts which required simulacrums of the intended target to work, generally high quality portraiture created with the intent to ritualistically destroy or alter for the sake of producing an effect, and the camera was a massive innovation in that regard. No need to have a portrait done of a enemy when instead you can literally just have a unflattering image printed in a tabloid, insane fucks in satanist-adjacent circles still heavily care about legacy media because of this. There's different spiritual properties between a jpg and a physical photo, obviously.
>>41618646>>41628756Reminds me of Dorian Grey, De Sade is sometimes called someone who was willing to talk about how shitty the french ruling class were but Wilde was also connected with the anglo ruling class through a lot of ways.
>>41610098It's not the camera, it's what's connected to it. As >>41610965 hinted at, the problem is the hive mind of social media. Now, you have to basically ensure your actions are approved by the hivemind. Get caught doing something embarrassing in the past, and even if the person had a camera, the only people who would know is the observer and his friends and family. Now, it's possibly the whole world. That's why zoomers and late millennials are so neurotic and risk-adverse. Control that hive mind, and you control society. That is why governments are so interested in social media, and why now when they are losing control over the narrative, they're pushing HARD for Digital ID to censor, track, and create a chilling effect on speech.
>>41621303I'm retarded, explain
c
>>41613001I think there will inevitably be a anti social media push by people who are repulsed by it but can’t control their relatives from posting information about them online, I wonder if religious groups would support it or not given how many churches use Facebook as their primary means of communication and organizing now though
Living in a time when not even you can see yourself, probably held so much power living with vision of what you see kinda like a pov game
