I think you should be more rigorous in your vocab, it permits precision and assures accuracy. Magick is not usually expanded in definition to include Orgon, Chi, Prana, etc. but even allowing your mushy definition to mean the same thing...
...you are not being very rigorous in your argument either. Chi cannot be measured but acupuncture works.
If any of this stuff works it can be demonstrated in a verifiable way, otherwise we're just keeping stories going for entertainment purposes...
I say again to those two; what are YOU doing about the problem? Reducing your 'carbon footprint' will not neutralize one single death force tower, or mothball one single chemcrud spray plane.
Death, disease and drought continue to fall out of the sky.
I'm doing something about it. What's your plan?
Now, what's this about Al Bielek? I have watched hours of his lectures on video tape, and he didn't drool once. He's a vampire? Where's Buffy?
Look. If it was easy, we'd get little girls to do it.
In my understanding historically "magick" refers to ritualwas a term associated with Crowley and the various subsets of O.T.O. ritual, IIRC, and its been 20 years or so since I bothered to read that perv, Crowley stated that accumlulating "prana" was neccesary to do Magick but did not conflate the two terms. Perhaps I am mistaken, but I don't think so.
If you want to expand the definition to include "vital force" that's fine just realize that mushy in/mushy out.
On Chi and acupuncture I don't care if there are overly reductionist skeptic doctors, Isurance carriers pay for it (if you got the good stuff) and its effects can be demonstrated (sore back alleviation, headache, etc) this cloud buster shyte probably can't be but I, like Thomas, want proof one way or the other...
I thought I was done commenting here, but I lose it over lines like "I understand quantum physics"...
magick has modern, umbrella-term sense
OK, but at I believe facility comes at the cost of precision, a price that I'm not willing to pay, personally. But you are, and that's ok by me, and is another data point for me to calibrate your posts with.
