I thought all threads were meant to be fun?
This thread is nothing more than a laugh. I love how some take things so seriously. but Paul "entertaining"? You accusing me of being an entertainer? that's something I can't accept Im too superior to be one them. |

I see you need fun explained to you Danny. That explains it.
Seems to YOU that I want to chastise. However if anything it is you who is trying and failing misrerably to chastise me. You may as well bow now you'll look more dignified in your rightful place. These are your constructs you may as well stop fighting them and start living them if you already don't. |

The original question was along the lines of "What would YOU do with real psychic powers?"
Let me ask this, What would life be like if EVERYONE had psychic powers? How would everyday life be different? For example, there would be almost no gambling, since the Lottery numbers would be known in advance and poker players would know each others cards. Other examples? Tate |

And more to the point, if we all had a little box of psychic seeds, where would we plant them and what would grow?

If I had a box of psychic seeds I would plant them in my mind, nourish them with Wisdom and Compassion and hopefully they would grow into Spiritual Realizations, like the mind of Patience...

I disagree with the notion that if we had certain abilities we wouldn't be doing shows. That's insane. As I posted and removed before - we might use the stage to deliver readings, blessings and minor healing work; something REAL, something useful. If you truly consider the spiritual and social aspects of theater, it's possible for every performance to be a blessing, a healing experience for the audience, something REAL and useful. All this without the need for mysticism. - entity

Perhaps it can be realized, by some, as much more than it is. If that were the case it would be a much deeper experience.

Entity, That's an amazing point of view and one I rarely see in practice, and you're absolutely correct. The 'need for mysticism' is my own and not necessary for other performers. As my background is in all things mystical, this is the angle I choose to work from the stage. Thanks for your input. -J

Jerome:
To clarify, I wasn't just speaking of Magic of Mentalism performances, but of all theater. I experience the things that you spoke of often in good theater, and sometimes even in Magic and Mentalism. It's part of what I strive for in my own performances. When I said: "All this without mysticism", I was commenting on the notion that we could do all the things you mentioned (make the experience a blessing, a healing experience, something real, etc.) if we had genuine psychic abilities. I was just making the observation that we can bring those things to our performances with or without psychic abilities. - entity

None of this thread is "realistic". Reality is our everyday experience. The whole point is to not be realistic and think outside our normal boxes.
