You don’t have an explanation for your paranormal experiences. You don’t actually know what you experienced, you don’t actually know what you saw. If you spoke with someone or something, you don’t know if they were honest, or presented themselves honestly. Some of you may try to fit your paranormal experiences into a religious worldview; I expect most people do that, it’s very common on this board.People like to feel like they understand because it gives them a sense of control in a situation where they have none. Feeling like your experience is explainable, or that you’re safe because of God or whatever else, helps you cope with what happened, but I would beg you to keep an open mind about this.Let go. Release this absurd notion that you understand what happened to you, that you know what you saw or heard or felt. I’ve had plenty of paranormal experiences. It’s almost mundane to me now, but I don’t claim to know for sure what I saw and what I felt. I wis my attitude was more common, people are too afraid to admit they don’t really have the answers.Feel free to post about your experiences and maybe we can discuss them rationally. I can talk about mine as well if you want. I expect the typical arrogance and egotistical posts, but I always hope for the best.
>>41664060On the contrary I know exactly what caused them
>>41664072I’m sure it comforts you to believe that, but you have no way of knowing for sure. It’s not like these experiences are testable or repeatable, and the entities, human or otherwise, are too good to get caught from what I can tell. So, we’re left with anecdotal experience and that’s not enough to know for sure. We are fallible and flawed and our senses can be manipulated
>>41664095No. He knows.
>>41664119this is exactly the sort of arrogance I was talking about. You’re a perfect example if nothing else
>>41664122Nah
>>41664060I have paranormal experiences every day but my brain blocks them from my consciousness. I don't think I could handle it.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=za-6RgoJer4
>>41664138if your brain blocks it from your consciousness then how do you know you’re having them?
>>41664060Paranormal experiences and religious world views literally go hand in hand. Wtf are you talking about
>>41664164I consider it the height of stupidity to have a paranormal experience and think >hmmm…this must be an entity from my religion that I happened to grow up with seems far more intelligent to keep an open mind about things rather than just assuming it proves whatever mythology you happen to like. Religion is always there to offer explanations for people, but you would be a fool to believe them, just like you’d be a fool to believe people on this board who claim to have all the answers
>>41664060i know exactly what's going on. your brain is fucking with you. i'm schizoaffective so it happens to me all the time. there's nothing paranormal about it, if you want to learn more, study neuroscience
>itt we gaslight so hard it would make adolf blush like an autistic schoolgirl
>>41664060i could agree with this. most things of any interest at all fall almost strictly outside of our possible ability to conceive of fully. Hence them being mysterious or elusive to us. It's in the name of the terms. (para)normal. (super)natural.To dismiss the explanations, which is the only shared commonality as purely egocentric is maybe a little divisive. >Lets be rational in exploratory discussions.>Your rationalisations are only representative of your inherent ignorant limits. Also, if you open your mind too much, your brain can fall out. 'I’ve had plenty of paranormal experiences. It’s almost mundane to me now, but I don’t claim to know for sure what I saw and what I felt' naturally the unexplainable will remain so until adequately defined. but the other side of that, is 'not seeking to explain what you dont understand' and that is not indicative of the paranormal or supernatural. only that you dont and dont want to find out what caused something you considered strange. this strange occurance maybe in fact be a non-anomalous experience to all but you. ego and arrogance does little for discussion or exploration. you are right.tell me about some of your experiences?
>>41664206what a perfect cover for these entities, that people like you will just assume insanity whenever we talk about our experiences. I know hallucinations and such can be caused by mental disorders, and I also know you won’t believe me when I tell you that’s not the case with me. I’ve made peace with that, but even if I were mad, it would not explain the strange behavior of life around me during these experiences. It synchronizes you with the life around you, making you feel like a thread in a tapestry, making it almost dance for you. Strange exotic animals and insects, flocks of birds flying over a synchronistic times, lots of bugs falling in front of you and dying, finding dead animals everywhere all the time, etc. I’ve seen things and felt things touch me and even heard them, but I know those could be hallucinations. They’re not what I find convincing, it’s the power over life itself, the realization that I can be controlled just as easily as the life around me, that we’re all moving to another’s dance. My personal theory is that it’s some kind of collective consciousness but I don’t know for sure
>>41664228I’ve had hands claw at my chest from inside my chest. I heard the wailing and growling and screeching of what was doing it, like hands clawing at me from the depths of hell. I’ve felt hands around my throat choking me, I’ve been put in this paralyzed state, my body moves on its own sometimes, which makes me question how much of my actions are my own will. Am i completely controlled or partially? I’ve seen things, all the time, usually out of the corner of my eye. It’s usually a series of things, like an insect flies in my face and I turn and see something move past my door, so I go and look and there’s a shadow person at the end of the hallway, and it slowly slides to the left out of sight into the other room. One time I was meditating outside late at night and I began hearing snakes and then a lion growling and walking around me, bushes were making noise, etc. I could keep going. There’s always signs and they come in waves. Just when you think they’ve left you alone, they do more shit. Dead things are always the biggest sign: insects and birds and cats dying around you, etc. things will just fall in front of you and start dying while you’re sitting there, it happens a lot. Writhing on the floor.Animals and insects also behave very strangely around me when they’re not dying slowly, occasionally behaving as if they’re far more intelligent than they’re letting on, purposely trying to get your attention. I could go on, but you get the point. There’s some entity around me, and I don’t know what it is, but it frustrates me that when I tell people about it, 95% of responses are:A)You’re crazy orB)It’s my religion actually
>>41664187The height of stupidity is posting on /x/ and using a phrase like >an entity from from my religion that I happened to grow up withA lot of anons on this board have gone so far down the path of spirituality they've made it their personal hobby to read about ancient Egyptian black magic, gnosticism, kabbala, and whatever the fuck else, sometimes to the point of insanity. I don't know where the fuck you think you are, but it's not reddit
>>41664296you’re no different than religious people, reading old books written by people with no evidence just saying shit, no way of knowing if they’re correct, no way to verify their claims. All this woo woo spiritual crap, ritual and tradition and symbolism. No doubt these entities play along, make you think you actually did something or that you have some power, or that your religion is correct. They fuck with people, they certainly fuck with me. They probably show up as Allah to one person, Jesus the next, then Vishnu to another, and then pit them all against each other. We’re pets in a cage, toys in a box, we don’t know shit. You might be in a cult that told you shit, you might have seen some shit, you might have done a spell and thought it worked because these things entertained your delusions, but I don’t buy it. They’re fucking with us.
>>41664321You should get ahold of some books on the occult and perform some kind of blood magic, then come back to me and see if it's all just "old books with no evidence". They didn't burn witches at the stake because because people were just crazy back then
>>41664365i would have no way of knowing if the results were caused by my magic or by something else. It could just be some entity saw you doing some stuff and decided to play along. I think the specifics and rituals people do are essentially just elaborate peacocking to get the attention of “the gods” in the hopes that they will do your bidding, and that none of the details actually matter. As long as you’re doing stuff like blood magic, you’ll be attracting their attention, which I think explains the paranormal stuff people experience.
>>41664138>i have paranormal experiences but i never experience anything paranormal
