I agree with the first half. I like the sound of this.

@Troy @Cynique Your arguments about race being poorly defined supports Cynique argument anout biology being a soft science. Although you have differing opinions in other sciences. Pgymies and Masai.

Race us being used in two different ways. As a scientific classification and a socioeconomic one. One the plantation there was no confusion. Hmm that one looks like the master. So its in the house or off to auction. When it cones to Sickle Cell race is real. When it comes to racism it is a construct.

@Cynique okay how do you decide what race a person belongs. Is it colour, diet, cultural , shape or something else. Whereas wuth animals the difference is striking except for Leopards and Jaguars.

@Troy my disagreement is over the perceived irrationality. I'm paraphrasing.

@Pioneer1 Mel's post does fit under Magick as I defined it. I find it interesting that you correct someone that has knowledge and experience in a field of which you are ignorant. Its a thinly veiled attempt to exert your perceived expertise in a topic, that you don't understand as practitioners do nor those who are curious.

@Troy I agree with most of your post. People have beliefs that match their experience. Pioneers are leaders not followers. I think thats a term used by a religious group for prosyletizers.

It is possible to remote view and see the future. I have three small.projects. I am going to get an inspired definition of the following: consciousness; time; and God.

Did they swear you to secrecy

And if you drop it hurts.

Language is a way to describe the contents of the mind. Words and Numbers are equivalent. Since I look at the time associated with a word. And the meaning of a number. Word is to Number as magnetism is to electricity.

The mind, the soul and,information reside non locally.

Words have a secondary meaning and i use this to create an Astrology chart. So the longer definition was reading yhe Astrology chart associated with the word Spirituality.

An unknowable statement what is the highest prime number. However when i look at the esoteric meaning of unknowable. I now realise I have keys to get at least a type of answer. The odd things is that I had the keys all the while.

@Mel Hopkins thanks for the link . Unknowable. You have inadvertently given me a Magickal key. I am grateful.

@Mel Hopkins thanks for the link . Unknowable.

An ancient book of magic was a grimoire. So you can see why they are called spells. David Alan Hulse states the following languages are Magickal or have special qualities German Latin Greek Hebrew Sanskrit Arabic, English and Numbers.

It would appear so

According to my argument yes.

@Mel Hopkins inspiration and and respiration are also linked etymologically. So loosely translated it means to breathe in spirit or the breath of God. Which gives new meaning to Genesis. The Bible takes on an entirely siffrent meaning if you know etymologies Astrology Numerology and Symbolism. The Son is the Sun. And Jesus died and rose on the third day. Is a reference to the Sun during the Winter Solstice and Ra's nightly journey to the underworld. Mythology is the basis of religion. Which are divinely inspired text. Hence the similarities amongst and between religions and Myths. @Chevdove this conversation with Mel may be useful for you.

@Troy astral projection is possible. I did it accidentally when i was about 17. A Princess knowledgeable in Magick schooled me. Also accidentally achieved cosmic conciousness around 19 years of age. Someone also told me this when i was in my 40's. Troy thanks again for asking the question.

Spirituality is the counterbalance to our body, personality and all that is tangible. The body is a ship and spirituality is our anchor in the higher realms. You could exhange spirituality with world view or the existential contemplation of essence. Religion is a lower order manifestation of spirtuality. Analogous to the word apple and the object apple. So your spiritual approach defines and informs your actions personality, thought processes, and emotions. All of the later terms are constructs or a way to embody the intangible essence. These constructs are what makes life feel real. Its easier to argue religion or spirituality. Than the reality of your body. Yet you would have a hard time really believing someone arguing reality. The irony being that it is your mind that rails against this position. Which is ironic because your mond is closer to spirit than your body. Thats a first take will post more later. There's the potential problem of associating the self with our body or our actions. What infotms this the mind. The mond is a function of your life experience and also your spirit. Various people may perceive one or the other in the ascendancy An admixture or perhaps neither. You are relatively unaware if the functioning of the body or your destiny. Spiritual practices can shift your perspective so that you can see both differently. This ability may be real or as indistinguishable as being in a dream. Row row row your boat gently down the stream. Live live life your life. Knowing that it is the spirit dreaming.

Very tight Mr T. Although all the religions could be right. Our perception is a function if our reality. So perhaps is what happens after we die.
