there are pretty horrific backlashes to you if your spells are bounced back

and mediums repeatedly say black magicians go to the 18th level of Taoist Hell when they die - you DO not want to end up there - mediums here can travel the astral plane and they see visions of black magicians with their heads severed but still conscious and flies entering their ears and laying eggs in their brains, where later their brains are infested with maggots

I was thinking about becoming a Wiccan but even I know that I would never use any sort of black magic or any spell that does harm to others.

That's definitely good as the first rule of Wicca is "Harm none."

My friend was Wiccan for 5 or 6 years or something. He's since decided he's converting to Buddhism. Interesting guy.

I definitely agree. No matter the issue, people in general tend to actively seek out and accept only those views (and evidence) that correlates with and confirms what they already believe; avoiding or discounting information that contradicts their viewpoint.

Definitely.
I believe that's the general definition for being closed-minded.

Deja Vu is the brain switching off for a milli second which is a perfectly rational explanation for experiencing a certain event again because the mind doesn't remember a scenario and therefore doesn't see the scene as one continuous event and sees them as separate events which then leads us to believe that we have seen the same event again but what we are really experiencing is a delay between our eyes and brain.

This then leads to us thinking that we are seeing something again but what is really happening is a crosswire in our sypnases.

We HAVE seen the event but that microsopic shutdown makes us think otherwise.

Whilst we all know that we are only using approx. 20% of our brains at any given time and there are times when strange occurrences happen regarding phenomena that we cannot explain, It is virtually inconceivable that a future can be predicted due to the phenomenon of cause and effect.

I have never heard of this but I did some slight research and there is also a theory that one eyes sees the event fractionally faster than the other eye and it causes the same sensation of Deja Vu.
