>the philosophers stone just appears in his pocket when he believes it to be there In a world of magic this still stirs disbelief in people, so it’s only granted to people who would never use it in the first place splendid
>>42207618Well, yeah, unless it appears to someone who believes they will use it. Magic bloodlines went extinct for a reason Anon. Give a child ultimate power and expect him not to cast "Apocalypse" at some point out of curiousity. Hell, give a child a computer simulation and the first thing they usually do is push the simulation to failure as hard and fast as possible. That's why wizards are old and grey, tired and wise. They have so, so very many deaths...
>>42207618something something law of attraction
>>42207715>>42207713Here goes nothing *hard reverses into darkness*
>>42207618just wait til.they find out how you acquire the rod and the ring.
>>42207767>rod and the ring.lemme guess, the "rod" and "ring" are states of being, rather than themselves physical objects, and these states of being are within the grains of the stone itself.
>>42207618My theory is that the philosopher's stone is not an object but your state when you have learned how the universe works and you now have the ability to manifest. So the Harry Potter version made no sense to me. How wrong am I?
>>42208304It makes sense within the metaphysical concept. Harry is a wizard. He needs ultimate power. He may manifest what is within the realm of power inside his world. However, you are correct. A true wizard, if you were really above it all. Would simply be, above it all. Harry is limited.
>>42207922yup. 100%
>>42207713wouldnt be an issue if they bred for high intelligence in childhood
>>42208416Intelligence believe it or not, simply makes it worse. Wisdom. That's something not taught but earned, and it's a hard fought battle. Good luck. You're going to need it.
>>42208416>>42208427It's very common for humans to be born extremely wise and corrupted through life with mental implants and poison ideas that make them accept falsehoods as truth so they actually become confused and stupid even though it's not their true nature.
>>42207618Huh? He got it because he didn't want it. They didn't want anyone to get it. It was actually pretty smart.
>>42208472ewww i don't want that piss stone, it's made out of an old guy's wee wee and swimmers after being boiled for a really long time!
>>42208460But it's about probability. There are old fools, and there are wise young men, but most of the time, wise men live to old age. Either way, they'll bore you to death, old men are rarely any fun.
>>42208320Not too shabby for a 10 year old.
