There is no new stream of energy hitting the Earth. Nothing is coming from the center of the galaxy.

Why is this so hard to understand?

There may be weird magic in movies where unknown energies cause cell phones to become weapons, or weird energies that give humans super powers, but that is all comic book fantasy.

another one of these thread again.

I'm looking forward to my annual blow moment too.
Hope my partner feel it too, should be mind blowing.

Hmm, curious, after years of vegetarianism and veganism, I realised that I needed to eat meat. Honour it, respect it, but don't deny it.

I'm still alive, and feel fitter than ever.

Go figure.

What the hell. I hear people talking like this and think are they for real, do they actually feel some magic flow and certain times of the year or are the deluded. What the hell is going on.

Stuff Nonsense & Humankind's Delusional Self Declared Importance.

In the Great Grand Scheme of 'The Cosmos' not anything or anyone means a darned thing.

Are we a part of the whole?
Yes.
Are we more important than any other part of the whole?
No.

We are nothing more than one grain of sand sifting through the Hour-Glass of Existence.

Would the removal of one grain make a difference?
Yes.
But the difference would make no difference because that is the way things would then be and Existence would continue to continue on its merry way as it has from its long forgotten begining ever traveling towards its unfathomable end.

To simplify allow me to quote Doris Day -
"Que Sera, Sera".

Have a Nice Day.

I know the days are getting darker, the temperature is getting colder, and the weather is getting wetter. Get on with life already, and take up extra Vitamin C supplements. It's getting closer to winter so you don't want to catch a cold (ie. the mystical energy )

Were mystical energy increasing in magnitude then would not the easiest way to prove it be attempting to cast a spell on camera and show it's result?

It's not the dark ages, most of that stuff is online or more likely on your hard drive already. I know its on mine.

Spells? Results? Proof? Pfft. This isn't something that can be objectively "proven", as I said earlier. Mystical "energy" can't be objectively formulated. It can't be captured. It's not about having the right formula for a spell, or having the right magic wand, or having socially acceptable beliefs. "Mystical energy" can't be detected by the mundane instrumentation of a skeptic. No matter how sensitive the instrumentation.

Mystical energy has gone by various names throughout world religion and myth...it's an ancient and universal common denominator. Mana, chi, shakti, magic, etc. Names don't matter. It's an archetype of the collective unconscious. It doesn't matter what you call it or how you symbolize it, as long as the name and symbol hve the power to activate the archetype in your psyche. A symbol that is dead to you or to a culture won't activate the archetype. And unless the archetype is activated in your psyche, all the spells and cameras in the world won't help you.

Sooner or later symbols and names lose the power to activate the archetypes of the collective unconscious. Then it's time for a paradigm shift.
