99% of what you will find in the internet is material from deluded people who have no idea what they are doing. The ones who know won't tell anything because they are forbidden to do so by their teachers. As i said be my guest and annoy other people at other places on the internet. You won't have the answers you seek. And in case you are wondering about the 1%. Yes sometimes there are some answers out there. But you lack the understanding to sift through all the detritus to find out who is serious and who isn't. How can you gain understanding? That's the beauty! You can't force it! It comes with time and experience. Some people gain it faster than others.

Yes.

Be my guest. These are answers you will never find on the internet.

The obsession itself should pass.... if it weren't for people feeding it.

Read philosophy, live your life, fall in love. Fail; succeed and then come back. You will have gained understanding. -

A wicca site would be a more appropriate place to look for. You read Crowley's books didn't you? Anyway you are wasting your time. Making a talisman is very advanced stuff that requires years of dedication to get there. You could go there by faith but the belief system could contradict to what you would be trying to achieve. My advice would be to stop messing around with things you don't understand. -

If you already have the capability to protect yourself with your own energy what's the point of having a talisman? Talismans require rigid faith or entities or elemental energy to power. You are questing. You lack knowledge of all the above. When you understand these principles you will know how to make one yourself. -

What's the point of making a talisman if you don't know how to charge it with energy? Why are you constantly putting the cart before the horse? -
For a non american who doesn't know the guy, why should i give a *bleep*? Why is this "required" to know? I reckon that most of the people in the site are american but that doesn't mean that the things you take for granted are valid in other countries or cultures. e.g. Your perspectives of Right and Left wing are unique, yet you somehow consider that the whole world shares these opinions. I am not criticizing the people cause they have been social engineered that way. Edit: And now that i think of it, the editor of the video shows contempt about the protesters that want the removal of the late and current democratically elected presidents of Venezuela. Does he support the same practices in the US? Does he want the democratically elected president of the US removed? You are good people yet you are completely confused. Tread carefully.
-
The video isn't useful. I watched the first 12 minutes and what it basically says is that the media in the US present the Venezuelan government in an unfavorable way by twisting facts. That's true but it isn't worth 46 minutes of my time. Any country with vast natural reserves can employ socialist or even communist policies. The problem lies when having to employ these policies in a poor country which may or may not lack infrastructure.

If you bother to watch the movie "Too big to fail" at some point a guy high up in government is having an emergency meeting with bank representatives about the events of 2008 banking crisis and he says explicitly "Please don't tell me that we are talking about bank bailouts because this is socialism and i have been fighting socialism all my life". All the examples i have given you signify that the US economy is not laissez-faire capitalism but has a healthy dose of socialism in its policies. In fact i do not know any example of a country that employs pure capitalism. As i said before, Americans can't tell what is socialism and what isn't because the term has been interchangeably used, in the USA, with communism.
-
then why did you ask for examples? You mean besides Food coupons, unemployment benefits, government bailout programs for banks, the antitrust legislation, US post belonging to the state, agricultural subsidies and subsidies in general. No I can't think of any! And i m not american. I would have more examples had i been.

https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Universal_Declaration_of_Human_Rights Read it and then tell me if the USSR deprived their citizens of all their rights as you claim. For what? You quoted 2 or 3 different cases. You need examples for what? Countries that have transitioned to capitalism without Feudalism? Pick any country in the world that was not part of the western roman empire. As for the ancient capitalism part. You just have to study Roman or ancient Greek economy. The romans are responsible for example for the first recorded extinction of a plant species due to high demand. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylphium
-
No it didn't. Capitalism, in a crude form, existed long before the dark ages. Also many countries independently arrived at this economic system without the transition through feudalism. The correct statement would be "In the western world, Modern Capitalism grew out of Feudalism"

He is confusing rights with freedoms. I just wanted him to figure it out by himself.
-
I am not aware of this definition and it doesn't change the conclusion.
-
It's very easy to implement communism when you have enlightened citizens that are prepared to defend their rights and their government and not sidestep their obligations and the rights of others. And then you realise that any government works under these conditions. Similarly the western world's interpretation of democracy isn't a true democracy but a kind of republic. It's far easier to manipulate proxies than the whole population. It follows that if you can control the representatives, what the majority of people think or do, doesn't matter. I personally don't know any country in the world that practices true democracy. The only country that comes close is Switzerland.
-
It's ironic to say that "socialism is bad" in America. You are using socialist policies as we speak (i..e antitrust laws, 2008 bank bailout etc) . This happens because the average American can't distinguish socialism from communism. Many countries in the european north have extensive socialist systems blended with capitalism and it works fine with little bureaucracy. The problem as i see it is that there are countries that this system won't work due to mentality of the local population.

@thelerner It was a little more complicated than that. I can only say that today is VERY different. Anything else and you won't believe me or I will mislead you due to poor choice of words and (my)limited experience.

Sometimes other people can hear my thoughts. Usually they don't see me and they assume i am talking to them. How can i turn it off? This was years ago and i thought it went away at some point. Until today.... I have no idea how this is happening but i would like to control what is being sent by me. I can't read thoughts myself but somehow i can sense energies and intent. If you know something please give advice. Otherwise don't make fun of me, i am talking seriously.

I am trembling. I tried to hug you, it feels like hugging a lightning storm but i didn't let go.

No he didn't know the address at all. He asked me and i thought about the address, then he repeated it exactly. He wasn't looking at me at the time. I spoke before but i just said hello. If you can do that, be my guest. How can i stop you in the first place?
-
I don't think so. It's just an unnerving feeling. In one case many years ago, the recipient heard a whole address so i don't know what to tell you.
-
Ok i'll try it next time it happens. But how can i be sure i'm not doing it? Is there some type of "tell"?

Anyone willing to share the Hidden Secrets
