Cool visual by turning neck
Today when I took a shower I realized I had a small pimple on my right shoulder. When I pinched it, I saw immediately 10+ silver lines of light with black around them and white light emitting from the blackness. I thought this must have something to do with twisting my neck around, so I held it in place and watched as one time I saw an entity manifest in a similar phenomenon but I got scared as again I was nude in the shower (not twisting my neck), and so I performed a banishing ritual. It immediately dispersed, and I forever was dissapointed at myself as who knows what it was and it was the only manifestation of a spirit I had ever seen. In that time, it was like large marble sized raindrops swirling around and emmiting a rainbow color of lights in them.
Anyway back to my story. So there I was holding my neck sideways to the right, and these silver streaks were moving all around in a circular motion. I watched for about 45 seconds untill they stopped.
What was this? Viewing the aura of the astral body? I think so. Some kind of astral/etheric phenomenon. I've heard of psychics seeing streaks of silver light in peoples auras before. Anyway was very cool, even if it might have physiologically been a pinched nerve/spine, so I thought I'd share. Too bad I didn't have my camera nearby, would have been interesting to see if it was pure hallucinatory as it looked so physical, or if it was physically visible.

Robots, Automation and the Future of Work
This is a presentation by Marshall Brain, founder of How Stuff Works. He’s written more extensively on the subject in an essay called Robotic Nation, which I haven’t read yet.
I think Brain might be overestimating the ability of machine-vision and natural language processing to supplant human intelligence, but the general trend towards fewer and fewer jobs is real one that I’ve written about a lot lately.

Could someone explain this?
Sometimes, on the bed though, after closing my eyes, I see bright lights, through a distance, resembling a vehicle's headlights, fully focusing on my eyes. I feel the glare, and the same feelings if I was really seeing them and wanting to move my eyes away. However, moving my head does not help as the source is somewhere within and it remains for as long as a few minutes.
It all happens on its own and if I force my mind to recreate the magic, it never happens. The recurrence is not frequent, mostly once-twice in a month. Is it just an imagination, dreaming or something else?

Qabbalistic Cross mentioned in Tupac’s Song
Anyone knows why is it there ? Do you think tupac was occlutist ?
In the prayers by a woman in the end of the song
Our father, who art in heaven
Hallow be thy name
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
In earth, as it is in heaven
Give us this day, our daily bread
As we give up our debts
As we forgive our debt-ors
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us, unevil
For God, is the kingdom, and the power
and the glory forever, and ever, and ever

Entities… Spirits,Angels,Demons etc
Can someone please explain these terms... Personal stories would also be great regarding the theme... I have read about them..even heard that some of those "entities" are nothing more than a manifestation of energy that is only illusion to look like a concious being...Don't know is that really true... What about Demons? Angels? Wraiths (I have encountered some)..
Thank you for your time! Cya! ;)

Low magick vs. High magick…which and how?
Hi everyone! I am Alexander and I am new to magick and the occult. I started out with Wicca and got interested in ceremonial magick by reading again and again about The Golden Dawn. I bought Donald Michael Kraig's "Modern Magick" but have spent the last few months hovering between fully immersing myself in Wicca and low magick or getting more into High magickal studies. Now I am intensely interested in Crowley's writings (I am reading "Confessions") and don't exactly know how to decide what to specialize in. Any suggestions? Thanks!:)

I've researched Rosicrucianism. and It's golden dawn infused with Magick and Metaphysics.. How can We use Rosicruciansim for our wills? and How can we use the methods in Rosicruciansim to converse with the spirits? Especially of those of the Goetia?
"When abortion was a crime, I would have sought one"
"When abortion was a crime, I would have sought one":
When I was a teenager abortion was a crime: and the choices that forced on women was another crime. Two of my young friends got pregnant while in high school, one at 14 and one at 16, “A” students both, they were forced to drop out of high school, marry, and face the world with a 9th and 10th grade education. Oh, the 14 year-old was “allowed” to come back and take her freshman finals: very possibly because a 14 year old, 9 months pregnant, was meant to be a frightening and object lesson, and one that successfully prevented me from having sex until I was 19. Which meant that my first love at 17 left me after a year of frustration for both of us.
Another of my friends was sent to Arizona to live with her Aunt for her “asthma” — I now believe to have a baby in a home for unwed mothers. Which was another object lesson in our town, a home for unwed mothers, from which troops of teenage unwed mothers marched to the local mall together.
To a lower-middle class girl like myself, sex was frightening, because it meant I might not escape the fate of my friends” a furnished basement “apartment” in their parents’s home, a new baby, a teenage husband, and no education. When I made it to state college, I began to have sex with another long-term boyfriend, still frightened, watching another friend get pregnant at 19, and drop out of college for another baby and teenage husband.
My fear was only partly relieved by a local campus character we all called “Crazy Charlie” for what-seemed to be tall tales of his exploits. But I was ready to take on face value what Crazy Charlie said one day: that he knew a doctor in Philadelphia, who would perform an abortion for $200. (To give you an idea of how much money that was 35 years ago, it was 1/10 of my yearly tuition and board at state college.)
But if I had gotten pregnant, I would have spent that money, and trusted my health and fate to a Crazy Charlie, and the man he claimed was a doctor, who could have been a nurse, mid-wife, or have no medical training whatsoever, all because I wanted to have a future. I would have risked my life for my future, at a time when the New York Daily News printed photographs of women who had died in a pool of blood, after illegal abortions.
My sister, four years younger than I, also had a friend who got pregnant at 16, while abortion was still a crime. But she lucked upon an underground railroad of authority figures that included ministers and doctors, who found doctors to perform abortions for women in need, the forerunners of the doctors, ministers and others who pressured the courts for Roe vs. Wade, because they were sick unto death, of dealing with the ugly aftermath of illegal abortion: the suicides of pregnant women, the botched abortions that killed or maimed thousands of women a year in the United States.
Because they were also aware of another dirty secret: that upper middle class and wealthy women were routinely and discretely given D&Cs at the clean and safe hospitals of their leafy suburbs, that those with money were also able to send their daughters to Puerto Rico for abortions masked as “vacations.” That only lower middle class and poor women were forced to face murder and maiming through illegal abortions.
Or were denied abortions that were medically needed, by their doctors. One of my older stepsister’s friends was forced to carry to term a baby that had died long before. Was forced to give birth to a dead child, which so poisoned her system, that she was never able to have any other children.
Which is why I find so chilling the restrictions in some states on medical abortions. I’ve ead that in those states, doctors and nurses are appalled that “Abortion Wards” are returning, with women maimed by illegal abortions — and again, damn few are daughters or wives of money.
Today, my sister’s friend who had an abortion at 16 has gone on to marry, have two children, and become a pharmacist (and I doubt that she’s one of those pharmacists who deny patients birth control, or emergency birth control.) None of my friends who got pregnant in high school came to our ten year reunion — I heard that one said she was still “ashamed” that she’d never graduated.
All who would support the elimination of legal abortion, keep in mind the tragedies you’d guarantee: maimed and murdered women, lives stopped short, more unwanted children in the world.
There are 500,000 children in the foster care in the United States — how many million more do you want? Many of those children are adoptable, but will not be adopted — why don’t “pro-life” advocates step forward to adopt them now? Do you want the forced return to warehouse orphanages for still more unwanted children? Do you want women sent to prison for seeking an abortion, and doctors also jailed, when we already have a shortage of doctors in this country? And nurses jailed, when we have a shortage of nurses in this country? How much damage and destruction of life will you support to force the rest of us to subscribe to your so-called “religous” views?
I’ve never heard a so-called “pro-life” advocate answer those questions honestly. Making abortion illegal will not stop abortions, it will just stop safe abortions, as is the reality in the few civilized countries in which abortion isn’t legal, but have their own “abortion wards” with maimed women, doctors who refuse to treat ectopic pregnancies for fear of being prosecuted, and whose morgues are stocked with the dead women that illegal abortion create.
I’ve lived in that world already, and I don’t want to return to it.

What is your favourite style of lingerie?
I don’t really wear lingerie, nor can I really afford to.
I do appreciate what a high quality bra can do for one’s body, especially those of us on the itty bitty titty committee.
Damon Lindelof: LOST in One Tweet
As you know, I’m no fan of the ending of LOST. But I was still pleased by Damon Lindelof’s participation in this Twitter meme.
Damaged people crash on damaged island. People fix each other, then island. All consumed in bright light. Yay! (or Boo!) #LOSTINONETWEET
