Why Deeper?
How much of the "soul' are people investing in the here after.
What is their confidence in?
How about assurance? Through confidence?
Finding things in this life, things that we take risk with, nothing will tell you if that love is perfect.. remember to talk with people here and now, why wait until they are dead for a "message".
for people who present themselves as spiritualist, consider simply getting a vocational course and becoming a grief counselor.
Telling people who have been had by a openly shady industry that they just got a bad psychic.. a bad medium..
Some have believed, perhaps a few have made people believe, and others speak as though they are convinced, and they still ask questions.
Casting to much into the ether.. leaves little here to touch here and now with.
Leave a margin for creative imagining.. we are only human.
Does an illusionist believe that he is sawing a person in half?
COMMENTS
I don't think so. I think they know they are talented at just presenting the illusion of doing such.
As a ghost myself I try to help where I can, but we ghost are a rarer lot then people think, all those misconstrued ghost really put pressure on us real ghost to perform some real trivial task.. I mean that is all a waste of energy, and timing. Not easy to do, considering we must commute across the veil, and then save enough energy to first avoid detection, and second perform.
By The Criteria on this site, I am a time traveler, and a ghost.
So with that being said, I have confidence that most who claim to be attuned to ghost are obviously pulling the hell out of your leg.

oops, wrong movie.
Just can't do it, must be great living in an Oblivious world
not knowing when your being hosed..
Even as people who have been there and done that, as performers, and believers..
Are you choking yet from the smoke, are the mirrors reflecting the light.. into your closed eyes, yea, your mind may be open, but it is cluttered with crap..
The following was avoided like a plagued corpse..I would say I wonder why.. but it is starkers obvious!
Both are traditional talents, that require showman ship, and a glib tongue,
A tradition that appeared in french parlors(the séance).
Skillful tricks to spook friends, the use of a third impartial party, the medium stirred the sociogeist for example young students in collage,
Hypnotism stage hypnotism or mesmerism worked on the same princaple
A skilled person can tell when someone is using the craft.
So the question is with so many examples of people that bill themselves
As performers, why do spiritualist continue to demonstrate the same level of accuracy?
Why insist that the source is some mystic "energy" or dead people,
Is it not enough for someone to admire a talent for showman ship?
As a believer do you take note of missed phish lines?
Can you spot a bad medium?
COMMENTS
So what is stopping these "spiritualist" from simply sitting someone down, and asking them straight out.. who is it that died?
Then Guide the person in recalling some token moments.. why all the damn trivial crap?
Entertainment ?! Excuse me But entertaining people in proxy to Deceased people?
Well then would you mind playing monopoly with your fathers retirement money, how about gambling with inheiratence?
Call it what it is, and get these hacks off the fad, before damage is done. Look at the Sylvia Browne case, she hides behind religious blah blah, but she claims she is not religious based.. Blah, Blah BULLSHIT GET IT BULLSHIT.. The Morons that hem and Haw.. "Anything is Pooosible." Need to be crushed emotionally after the death of a loved one by one of this unethical chump mills.
And screw you for being so selective about what questions, and post you answer.. it tells so much about your lack of actual confidence, belief Oh you have that.. But confidence, you will never have.. why? Because they deny you that those hacks are skilled in dumbing you down, to accept trivia, notice this, you are a minority.. there are people who beleive in spirits that are restained enough to
avoid accepting the claims of people that say they can talk to the dead, you morbidly ignorant children, what did campfire storeies stop astonishing you? Sensationalism, is robbing you of so much..

I for one think those that identify as vampires need to launch a counter measure to these obvious posers.. I mean the nerve of them misrepresenting people who believe they are vampires, in some entertaining fashion. They should come on this site, and stand up to all the confrontation from skeptics on this site.. sort of like that poor guy.. err Vampyre Ryu.
How convienant that some can tap that awesome power, to bring messages across the veil.. to be able to extract sound, visual, or even smells some claim, I think any claim to mediums is Crap, Bullsh*t Plan and simple, it is all in your head, something you don't want to face.
You are debating only to verify your delusion, you press those believes on to others, telling us we simply need faith.. NO See because you yourself present the option of a demonstration, that is what is required from those who claim such Contact with the after life. Privilaged people seem to be the ones making the claims, would the great after life be limited to access by some perssive cold reader? If cold reading is used by entertainers.. and not by "mystic" mediums then why are Mystic mediums not better then entertainers? A simple non evasive answer please !
What is so hard about presenting the "real deal"? I mean think of all the advancements that could come to grieving people, something I would think mediums Spiritualist, lets not call the eggs omletes until they are made. 1,000,000 dollars left unclaimed, that is all I have to say, Get your head out of the clouds, and be here now, people die, they and are not here (except as a carcas). what need have people for some smuck that never knew them in life, or the "client" for thatmatter, spouting off some routine script?
Your Religious attachment is clouding your critical thinking, How many cases of fraud exist? HOW Many more will it take to make it clear to you. Go all the way back to the history, Fox Sisters, Frauds, Margret, once poster child, Exposed.. On and On, they made an Opera about it.
Believe what you want, actually I could careless, but do not consider me closed minded to your delusions, I have the concept in perspective, it is nothing more then parlor tricks. Always has been, and always will be.
COMMENTS
There is no regulation for those who present their scam as religious, or clinical, they know that, they exploit that, Your religion is founded on hacks, get over it. Leave sensible people alone. Present a demonstartion to counter the tremendous amount of Bunk.. and make your point in something more then rhetoric fallacy ridden logic.. the whole field Spiritualism is based on a history of pretense and Guile. Plan and simple, People from the very ranks have exposed the gig, The Gig is Up. No religious attacks.. What kind of crap ploy is that? You actually want to be taken seriously as a Spiritualist Medium? Well then Produce convincing demonstarations for someone other then a guilible widow.

you know, i've never heard of this....i do believe in demon posession as i have seen it and performed an excorcism of my own upon a building.
i highly doubt that there are mediums going around out in the big wide world that are hooking people and luring them into posession.
A social implosion very messy, the alienation that the group members goes through as the leader starts spreading things to thin, subjecting their teachings to scrutiny, (most leaders, titled people present one thing to out group people, then another to in-group people.) which raises questions to the current devoted, not knowing if a member is there to mock the others.

I have just had an interesting exchange, a believer of religion (universal church) asked me a question about my skeptic nature, once I said
"Religion presents metaphor as reality, and suffers the dementia resulting from that blurring of the lines."
She went ballistic, "How dare I call spiritual people delusional.'
I cleared up for her that I said nothing regarding spiritual people, but that spiritual people are subject to the same excess of metaphor.
She felt I was a cynic, if she had listened she would have heard the fact that I have accepted what she believes, as a metaphor. How dare she expect me to consider her ultimatum in place of my accepted understanding.
I then talked with a person that mentioned, most people who are gung ho about their religion are very pushy with theirs, but cannot tolerate the disbelief of others. like we are not only a challenge for them to convert, or stump. We are the enemy.
Trivia
what publication was dubed the Carney BIble,or the showman bible. It is actually used in carnival marriages.
If you have the answer message me but leave a comment that you guessed.
My demons show.
In metaphor a demon can be used to condense an imulsively destructive person. A demon is a very rich metaphor, in many stories, people can actually lose the ability to discern fable from actuality. A collision of Metaphysical and physical, that happens in their mind, and is supported by anything that appears to support (visual or audio) their the "possessed", or the "exorcist". With the" casting of the demon" the excuse is spent though, using the slap label possession only works as strong as the group it is used on.

Should I once again become a believer. Would those that would have me believe their pitch be likely to accept my summary of their "Any thing is possible" belief?
COMMENTS
Be yourself dabbler I like you Just the way you are...
once we accept the beliefs of others, it is assured that the only thing they will be likely to talk about is exactly what they believe. I don't see myself returning to that.
I have started thinking of saying, "Great you have a strong belief, what else do you want to talk about?"
I get so i don't know how I am expected to respond to those who press their beliefs on me, aside from out right cynicism (which seems to be the desired response of fanatics.)
Asking if those who identify as vampires are concerned about people that may equally identify themselves as vampire hunters gets no answer from those who identify themselves as vampires. Aside from someone saying that they are delusional to think they are vampire hunters..."? !"
COMMENTS
My head spins.
VR causes me to call upon two things quite often.
1. A great deal of tolerance
2. Massive quantities of alcohol
Did you expect anything else?
i like the delusion...it's *fingerquote* fanciful.
Sometimes it can be amusing, until you find they are doing so to cover for the fact that they have no social skills what so ever.
Here I am trying to learn to relate to people as people, and all I see are creative people being pressured to buy some non-creative persons assumed identity.
i think the difficulties are symptomatic of this site & the people who are drawn to it, in general. There's diversity of opinion with regard to how people identify as vampires. I'm not sure where I fall in that spectrum. Probably closer to the "I just like vampires" end of it. I don't relate well to those who actually think they're vampires.
The 10% myth, that people don't use 10% of our minds is a logical fallacy .
What of those that claim this explains where psycic "energy" is "stored"?
Was that a ghost in their Den?
Interpretation is usually pressed above physical actuality, a person that has a cluttered house will likely declare ghost are fluttering about, rather then face the fact that they have a cluttered house that has gotten so bad things are falling out of place.
This is based on a fact finding visit to a friends house, they claimed paranormal activity.
Is it simply tolerance that you seek from others?
Or is it reverence?
You know damn well, that your intent in the Use of Lrps was as an insult.
Your Inciting behavior makes me sick.
A post even turns on the devotion of those in your own ranks.
You are no better then a religious sect.
Even if I was, an In-group member (and I am sure I could play the part, and be more convincing as well.) I would disassociate from such a collective of rude, and confrontational Vampires.
Your insistence that this is a vampire community is becoming cliche'. You tactics are obvious.
You don't want to resolve any "misunderstanding".
Your goal as far as I can tell, is to create a disturbance, you are reactionary, not only to counter view points, but to supporters as well. Because they don't eat your Projected Identity Verbatim.
This "Don't give us grief.. " You thrive off of confrontation. You want it to appear that your members are so Bashed on. Posing as a victim, while alluding to the Hobbies of others in insulting Jargon.
How many people have you frustrated? How many people (perhaps role players) have read your insults and left the site?
COMMENTS
Am I an Orc or what.
I will not stand by to those creating a disturbance, ever again. I will speak clearly, and with Direct address to things I see as such, I have
Witnessed a whole job environment effect by people social undermining (something I see here, in the post of The members of this Coven).
I find it comical that the constant use of, Don't respond to my post (taunt) is so casually used. Is it your understanding that none of the post here but mine are aggressive. Is it not what they expect (even thrive off)..
So you predictably ask, why let them get a rise out of me?
Quite frankly I could care less about their delusions.
It is the people that are demeaned by them, through pretense.
The bullied, becoming the Bully.
So they taunt..
So they demean ..
So they confront others on every little detail..
Disturbing others every chance they get..
Loaded, self serving questions..
They thrive off of others "standing up for them, "the victim".
How dare I be so outspoken !
From a person who writes..
"No one dares Challenge me" Or Undisputed" I can only firmly state. In a clear manner my case, Thin skin people"vampires" need to receive what they instigate.
So yea, I am confronting something here, I intend to be direct. Not just to be a passive observer of a very rude presentation. If they claimed to be a sect of the KKK it would be no different, if they where a Get Rich Fraud Seminar.. I would picket their doors the minute they poo poo'ed legit investors to further their projected identity, and cause others to question their sensible acceptance of somethin
Warning signs of a potentially destructive cult
[edit] Ten warning signs of a potentially unsafe group/leader.
1. Absolute authoritarianism without meaningful accountability.
2. No tolerance for questions or critical inquiry.
3. No meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget, expenses such as an independently audited financial statement.
4. Unreasonable fear about the outside world, such as impending catastrophe, evil conspiracies and persecutions.
5. There is no legitimate reason to leave, former followers are always wrong in leaving, negative or even evil.
6. Former members often relate the same stories of abuse and reflect a similar pattern of grievances.
7. There are records, books, news articles, or television programs that document the abuses of the group/leader.
8. Followers feel they can never be "good enough".
9. The group/leader is always right.
10. The group/leader is the exclusive means of knowing "truth" or receiving validation, no other process of discovery is really acceptable or credible.
Ten warning signs regarding people involved in/with a potentially unsafe group/leader.
1. Extreme obsessiveness regarding the group/leader resulting in the exclusion of almost every practical consideration.
2. Individual identity, the group, the leader and/or God as distinct and separate categories of existence become increasingly blurred. Instead, in the follower's mind these identities become substantially and increasingly fused--as that person's involvement with the group/leader continues and deepens.
3. Whenever the group/leader is criticized or questioned it is characterized as "persecution".
4. Uncharacteristically stilted and seemingly programmed conversation and mannerisms, cloning of the group/leader in personal behavior.
5. Dependency upon the group/leader for problem solving, solutions, and definitions without meaningful reflective thought. A seeming inability to think independently or analyze situations without group/leader involvement.
6. Hyperactivity centered on the group/leader agenda, which seems to supercede any personal goals or individual interests.
7. A dramatic loss of spontaneity and sense of humor.
8. Increasing isolation from family and old friends unless they demonstrate an interest in the group/leader.
9. Anything the group/leader does can be justified no matter how harsh or harmful.
10. Former followers are at best-considered negative or worse evil and under bad influences. They can not be trusted and personal contact is avoided.
