Do you believe in Psychics, Witches, the Chupacabra etc. ? What are some spiritual things you may believe in or are fascinated by that may be a little "out there"? Do tell! Okay, I have never seen Nessie, but I believe she's out there laughing her head off at all our high tech sonar lol. What about you? I promise I don't laugh or judge!

Someone told me once:' If you can think it, its real.' Dont know that I believe everything but I discovered that a lot of things I thought were nonsense actually had some sense, if not realistically, at least metaphorically. I think its possible to gather knowledge from fables, wisdom from fantasy, truth from imagination. Many things have benefit if we are willing to see, and it keeps the spirit of learning alive to question the unknown. Sometimes I think about aliens from outerspace being real. It helps me keep a youthful attitude towards life. (Sorry if you guys really are real)

[gismo]

I see and hear ghost's and spirits all the time, it;s part of who i'am, my chidren,family and friends, are very used to it now.
gismo x

Cool! I forgot about aliens allimsaying! I believe there are countless other planets teeming with life. Shall a starfish, who lives in the ocean deep, declare: "There is no such thing as an African Zebra, because I have never seen one?" Foolish! Bravo for your curiosity, thanks for sharing. Gismo, that is pretty amazing! Wow. Its a big wide world out here!

[allimsaying]

It has been said that with God, all things are possible. If God is love, then with love all things are possible. I am not certain that love makes all things possible but I believe that without love, less is possible. With love, we can exercise our imaginations, without love we live in fear and doubt.

[Maven]

I don't know if any "mythical" or spiritual creatures and people truly exist, but it would be interesting to know their origins. I am skeptical, yet kind of hope, that certain creatures (i.e., unicorns and pegasi) really do exist, or did. (Of course, "did" would make me sad, because I'd hate to think of those creatures dying.) I don't know if God is real, but I hope so. I hope S/He's not the way I perceive Him/Her from what stories I have read, but is the loving, wonderful being we all want to believe in.

I'm skeptical of those who claim to be psychic, not because I don't think it's possible, but because it's well known there are a lot of charlatans out there. I also think some people want to believe they're psychic and go by thoughts or feelings they get that might be nothing. However, I'm not saying you're a fraud, gismo; I think it's entirely possible you are psychic. Also, I once worked--for a day or so--for a psychic hotline. I told them I wasn't psychic, but they said they train you, so I signed up. They told me to just tell each caller the same reading until I got better at reading cards and such. I thought it was bull, and didn't want to rip people off like that, so I quit.

I believe in ghosts and archangels very much. I believe they are with each of us in our hearts, just like God is. I think its nice to imagine these things are real, and I think I could never live by myself because I am fearful of the dark things, like evil spirits.

But I do believe they are very much real, just like aliens are

[redbandit]

I believe in angels, demons and witches. I'd really like to believe that vampires are real...
I saw this interesting documentary the other night about mermaids. It had some very convincing footage. My husband is now convinced they exist. I think ghosts must exist, because of all the accounts people have given. They cant all be lying, right? I personally dont believe they are "ghosts" as in, a person who has died, but rather as a form of a demon.

I had my experience with two Archangels once, and I look back on it now...

Everyone knows that I'm possessed by Demons, in particular "Succubi". All of my Demons are female.

I don't believe in ghosts, psychics ( well truthfully there are a lot of "psychics" all up and down Long Point and North Main between the pawn shops, taco trucks, and hookers so they do exist ), nor vampires or witches (see psychic above) or the chupacabra lol.
I briefly wondered about spirits the other night when a strange perfume smell came into my bedroom. That was odd I admit since it was unaccompanied by any corporeal female presence
Also the ghost story I told you about makes me at least consider the possibility.
But I've actively sought out ghosts and spirits and none showed so still a skeptic.
The FSM and other so-called deities... sorry but no... no evidence exists other than " I believe" or "I know" anecdotes.
I have seen a couple of UFO's that I can't explain. They made maneuvers that earthly aircraft just can't do.
I believe in the Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

alllll i gottta say is:

[Stevie Wonder Superstition

Superstition Lyric]

Very superstitious, Writing on the wall
Very superstitious, Ladder's 'bout to fall
Thirteen month old baby, Broke that looking glass
Seven years of bad luck, Good things in the past
When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer, superstition ain't the way

Very superstitious, wash your face and hands
Rid me of the problem, get all that you can
Keep me in a daydream, keep me going strong
You don't want to save me, sad is my song

When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer, superstition ain't the way

Very superstitious, nothing more to say
Very superstitious, devil's on his way
Thirteen month old baby, broke that looking glass
Seven years of bad luck, good things in the past

When you believe in things that you don't understand
You will suffer, superstition ain't the way

You know, I was scared to say anything on this subject.. But I am going to add something.. These are some of my spiritual experiences.. And I am not trying to prove anything to anybody.. So, take them or leave them.. I have always believed in God.. Never really knew him when I was younger.. But somebody told me about him.. And that if you accept him, you receive him.. And that is what I did.. That night a Spirit came to me.. Nothing like I have ever known.. It can't be explained cause there is no explanation for it.. Other then you just know it is God.. After that, I started having many spiritual experiences.. Demons touching me, and I say demons cause there is no way an angel of God would touch me that way.. I started listening to christian music.. Trying to ward them off.. But that would make them angry, and they would growl at me.. And I know what you are thinking.. That is psychosis.. But I never had psychosis before that, even though I eventually did.. Since then I have gotten on meds.. I have had visions.. The first vision I saw was of a demon.. I am not lying to you, this creature was a brama bull man.. He stood like a man, but he was a brama bull.. And you knew he was a spirit.. Cause he was just a frame, it looked like a candle burning inside of him.. And he had the most piercing yellow eyes.. Then I always had a fascination with Gabriel.. Cause he was a messenger spirit.. So, I asked God to see him.. And then I had a vision of Gabriel.. He was on a planet, and it looked like there was a piece of driftwood behind him.. He was about 7 foot tall and lanky.. He had his arms crossed and he just looked at me with knowing eyes.. Then I had a vision one time of a glorious angel flying down from heaven.. He was white, and he wore white, and he had curly blond hair.. And the last vision of an angel I had, was this vision of an angel.. He was red, and he had a wagon built onto him.. I think he is for carrying souls.. Then I saw God the Spirit.. I didn't know who it was at first.. But I got to thinking.. Sometimes I sing to God.. And I was singing come to my window to God.. lol.. This vision was of a man in frame.. Only you could tell he was Spirit.. It was just and outline even though he had a frame.. Then, my favorite vision.. One time I was in bed, and something woke me out of sleep.. It was a flash of light.. And then I saw him sitting on a throne.. And he smiled at me and waved.. And what surprised me about it, was that he didn't have a crown on at the time.. He wasn't all fancy.. The throne was just made out of what it looked like wood.. It did not have jewels.. And everything else I saw is widely known.. He had the shoulder length black hair, a black beard, like medium built body in good shape like a sailor.. And I have one more story to tell.. Sometimes I get mad at God.. And I probably shouldn't.. But one night I was cursing him.. And I fell into a deep sleep.. And the next thing I know, I was falling through the abyss.. Heading for lava.. And something grabbed me.. It was the angel of the bottomless pit.. He was all burnt beyond recogintion.. And he had dogs, and they were like resident evil dogs.. Only they were on fire inside.. And their job was to torment you till you decided to take a dip in the lava.. Which is fire.. Then I awoke.. That scared me.. So, I believe that there are angels and demons.. I believe that there is heaven and hell.. I believe in psychics to some extent.. I believe they are being used by familiar spirits.. It talks about it in the word.. And it also says in the word that God made the worlds.. So, I believe there is life out there on other planets to.. I think after we die, we have a choice, that there is a judgement.. And I think that some people choose to remain on the earth.. This is just an idea of mine.. But I believe in ghosts some to.. And lastly, to this day, the demons are still trying to destroy me.. 4 years ago I didn't even know what anxiety is.. Now I have anxiety.. The closer I get to God.. The more they torment me.. Ok, that will be the end of what I have to say.. Hopefully somebody will read it, and take something from it before the moderators rush in.. lol.. Peace

Hm, sounds like my experience I once had, but that was only part of what is happening to me right now.

I'm still dealing with Demons as of today.

What I don't understand is what you said above, "They would growl at me." I'm not saying you're wrong or anything, but why would they act like savage beasts when they are way more civilized and advanced then humans?

Angels taught man how to tell time, build weapons, create artwork, and many other things.

[James_from_Idaho]

Kras, I think they were just trying to scare me.. it worked

Wow, thanks everybody. I've had a few experiences in my life too. I am not so brave to share them atm lol because there are enough Looney Tunes on Nicelodeon and I'm a little shy (today, not usually lol) But if you are really interested pm me and I'll spill the magic beans

Oh, now that you mentioned "witches", I remember my friend at school telling me how she knew a girl who was a Wiccan.

I heard that she used a spell to get a boy that she had a crush on to like her.
I was told that it actually worked.

I hope this doesnt come off as rude, I'm just curious. How do you know you're possessed?

I know, because I am able to observe their personalities, behavior, and motives.

Not to mention that while I was being diagnosed, they have a hard time trying to figure out my so called "psychosis". They are not able to fit me with schizophrenia, because I do not have classical symptoms.
In schizophrenia other signs of having the mental illness other than "hallucinations" and "delusions": Lack of speech, catatonia, lack of motivation, inappropriate behavior (such as laughing at a funeral), and neglected hygiene.

I am able to function on my own by carrying out a conversation in full sentences and details, I move around constantly in order to perform a need (getting up to cook myself something to eat, going to the bathroom, and standing up and walking around for a bit to stretch my body out, from laying in bed the whole say, wasting away my time on the laptop.), it's not that I am unmotivated but I'm lazy and I tend to procrastinate all the time or I just don't feel like doing something (it is my choice. I don't do it for no reason), and my emotions are normal and appropriate for situations (getting angry when I fight with my mother, laughing at a joke, crying when I lost something dear to me such as moving away from friends or the death of someone that I knew, and being happy when I find something that keeps me busy and entertained)...and what do you know! I also happen to take care of myself (brushing my teeth every day, taking a shower every two to three days, which afterwards I brush out my hair and take care of it with "Fructis Sculpting Cream" for my natural curly hair, washing my hands after soiling them after taking care of something dirty, and putting lotion on my hands and arms once they get dry.)

It is also the way they conversate with me. Mariah, for example, is the head-Demon that talks to me all of the time. She is vulgar and fowl mouthed (often swearing at me and calling me a few names, but all she is trying to do is toughen me up. We both share a belief that as an adult, you should not take harsh things directed at you personally.), degrades me in everything I do (which makes it seem that she is bullying me, but she is actually criticizing me and trying to remind me and make me realize what I have done. She wants me to learn from my mistakes, and the reason why I am moody is due to me not being use to criticism. In fact, I'm new to it. As I grow older and mature, I will learn to live with it.), and commands me to commit things that would otherwise harm a victim or myself (people such as friends, family, acquaintances, rivals, enemies, and complete strangers. This is out of her hatred and jealousy of other humans taking advantage over me, when she claims to be the dominant one over everyone else.) Also advising me to not do certain actions that would cause me to fail and mess up and objective (talking and interrupting when no one else wants to pay attention to me, annoying a person based on my actions towards them, and making me avoid a certain person who will distract me, enabling my concentration on important tasks.).

It is also their intentions to do away with me. Mariah usually says things about one day "taking over my body in full control" and begging me to lend her permission (which she has asked me before when she first appeared around the year 2011, and I granted her power to take over me partially, offering to "help" me with troubles in life.), "making things happen to me in life" (such as punishing me, when I did "something" out of stupidity.), and also threatening to eventually hurt me (she says that she can do it at any time without me knowing about it.)

I figured out that this is not mental illness. It is way too complex to be placed in any category that would label me as "debilitated" and “deprived” of my overall mental health.

[gismo]

I did not say i was psychic.... i can't help what i see, hear and feel, i have been this way since i was a little girl, i used to sleep in between my parents ,so as not to see different "beings" in room,but that's another post i guess i will no doubt bring forth to you guys.

[allimsaying]

My cousin is a female shaman, I m a male shaman. We absolutely believe in God, Magic, and Love. I practice white magic regularly but it only works when based in love. Anything else backfires. So, do I imagine the unimaginable and believe its possible? Absolutely, you betcha.

[gruvingal]

I believe in spirits and angels. When my grandmother died, my Mother called me from her home in Salem, OR. She was with her at the hospital when she went. When I got into bed that evening to sit and read, I felt her presence and smelled her. I felt very warm and peaceful. And then she was gone. The same thing happened when my Mother died. I talk to them every day. I know that sounds al little crazy, but it gives me peace. I have also been to places that I have never been before and knew that I had been there at some time. One house I was in I knew that there had been a staircase in the kitchen at one time. Kind of like de'ja vu but way more intense. Sometimes there are people that when I meet them and shake their hand I get chills down my spine and my hair stands up. Those are people I stay away from.
