What's the difference between "the occult" "witchcraft" & "spiritual channeling" "spiritual healing" (24)

And there might be a few

I am OK ..
I will chant my own magic





Cuando tengo frío
Sólo tú me transmites calor con tus palabras.
Cuando soy triste
Sólo tú haces que me sienta el Ser más Feliz del Universo
Cuando estoy solo
Sólo tú eres el que puede entrar en mi Corazón y en mi Ser
Cuando estoy mal
Sólo tú me calmas y tranquilizas , usted me hace sonrisa

Miren´se por aqui .. que sorpresa mas linda y poetico ..

from our Yamy Damy

Thrown all my merit stamps away (last day teaching yesterday!) So have a drink etbaoy!

It is a very hard thing to distinguish between the four things you mention. Let's for starts call them as branches of paranormal phenomena. Paranormal is an adjective used for phenomena lying outside the range of normal scientific investigation. In some way all of paranormal manifestations is about communication without physical links. What all these phenomena - when authentic - have in common is not only the lack of accepted explanations but the much stronger claim that there will never be acceptable explanations, even for any future science.

But another question is being overlooked here..electricity was once seen as an Occult life fluid, which it appeared to be its ability to shock and convulse, its frenzied sparking and its sinous ethereal glow in tubes or in the sky.

Paranormal produces drama, science doesnt. Results of science are seen as magic by the backward people of this world where paranormal is everday and science a superior paranormal.

I mean you must include religion and science in this brew together with the paranormal. Do we understand complex scientific explanations of ordinary things or of the universe - mostly not. Yet we dont sweat it.

These have been been succcessive explanations of exixtence. Science rules today. Occult exists but is not taken seriously generally.

I once had a fat book called Religion and the Death of Magic. It was a work of history. Somebody took it and never returned it.

Anyway, man's greatest study has been man himself. And whatever lies out there is far less complex than the relationship between mind and heart. Between psychology and physiology. Between 'love'and 'hate'.

Society is the biggest question of them all.

Sorry for digressing Snowflower but important thoughts have a way, a life of their own and run out of hand.

Hey Homer,
Not really a digression as spirituality brings balance and peaceful way of feeling between soul, mind, heart and body.

Love and hate both extremely poweful emotion. A very fine line between them. Forgiveness of oneself and others is about the only way I know to not dive into the hate pool. It is sometimes a lot harder to forgive ourselves than to forgive others... Spirituality helps much but still not an easy... Well worth the journey because with ones peace of mind comes peaceful thoughts towards others...

Most amazing energy Smoky... If one uses it to heal someone nearby directly (not through prayer) must link into the universal healing energy pool though so healer replenishes themselves else it's magnetic healing and drains the healer...
