It's very similar to hypnosis in that some people will ultimately remain skeptical at heart and therefore cannot be convinced, however the signs
can't really be ignored (but people who've dabbled and had these things happen then generally put up with them and never say to anyone about them
because they've proved it was'nt just their mind moving the planchette).
So long as he doesn't request physical proof, the entity will still in effect only be able to work *mostly* during the times he uses the board,
however once its loose its not easy getting it back to where it come from. The main thing is that he realises if this whole tale is true, that he's
opening himself to things that will not only prove that they exist, but they are not terribly friendly.
I've seen a fair amount of people over the years who've been EXTREMELY skeptical about the occult and then done something really stupid and the look
of REAL fear in their face when you learn that they aren't skeptical anymore is priceless because they did it to themselves.
Sometimes these things don't catch anything seriously unpleasant, I think it depends, its a bit like say a train, sometimes it'll be empty,
sometimes it'll be full of people who just want to get 'home', other times there will be people who certainly aren't the sort of people you want
to follow you home. So, some people try it once, get nothing and they think its fake, so every time they try after, if again at all, nothing happens.
Sometimes, the people get pleasant entities, some people will only get them (but IMO they aren't really all that nice they're just faking) It's
like playing Russian Roulette with your soul, its just not worth it for a 'laugh' or to prove to yourself that these things exist.
I may be a Christian, but I have done many occultic things that might make people cry with fear and I learnt my lesson that something definitely
exists. However, I won't try and make him stop, nor will I try and convert him, the decision to learn is free will and his alone - I only offer
advice that it is dangerous.


. Anyone who would think that's funny probably wouldn't make it past the gates.
Thanks for your understanding. I'll be looking forward to future discussions as well.
