Wow, you managed to take care of a lot of people at once ;)

I understand you brother. It's all good and I agree with you.

Peace...

No problem. Thanks for sharing. Yeah, I know. I went to a house with a new "start-up" paranormal group and the lead guy was just overwhelmed. He and his friend were avid watchers of T.A.P.S. and...

The Catholic Church has been in existence for almost 2000 years. It's not so much that they have the rituals, but that they have had the time and understanding to create them. If you've ever read...

Generally, a house blessing is done and of course there is a ritual for that. I go through a house and anoint doorways and windows with oil that I have blessed, bless water and sprinkle it...

Yeah, you know the sins of the fathers will be visited upon the children. Unfortunately, even if an ancestor way up the line made some deals, it could end up coming to the present generation. As...

Yes, I answered your question. You just didn't like the answer. Move out. Have you considered that his involvement in Santeria could be the source of the problem?

You know what concerns me more about this? The fact that one of your roommates father practices Santeria. You know anything about that religion? Brother, I think you better find somewhere else to...

LOL, you are welcome. It's a good thing to clear the air and see what everybody thinks.

Yes, I believe they do. At least there is a ritual for possession, which I have used. And, there are many...

I think I know you :) You know that HH and I are on the same team. We both work for the same glorious Master. You do realize that this won't work, don't you? One of the greatest lies is that...

There is no use in arguing about it.

I treat homosexuals as I would anyone else - as the human beings that they are. I have no right to judge them for who they are when I have my own issues to...

That doesn't even make sense. As a whole, the minority of the general population experience paranormal phenomena.

Fear is the greatest enemy for children. Darkness uses the fear in our minds to oppress us. They should be taught about God and the power of the Lord Jesus. They should know that there is no...

That's because statistically speaking... it is a relatively rare phenomenon.

Seminaries don't adequately prepare ministers because the schools themselves don't understand. I absolutely agree with you. Whether anyone agrees or not, the only institution that remotely...

It's a good question and there's no cookie-cutter answer that fits every person's situation. From what I have seen, it can be one or more of the following:

1. Occult involvement of the individual...

At the age of 30, I shed all belief in the supernatural, God, the Bible... everything. In fact, at the time these things began to happen, I was a practicing Chan/Pure Land Buddhist. So, you can...

Yes... it certainly is all those things and more.

God is the Creator. He loves the life He created and therefore is always at work with that life, whether that life is encased in a form body or formless body. He balances the equations in the...

My connection is not like that of a medium or psychic. It's a bit complicated. Put simply... spiritual beings have found me through using other living human beings. When in an altered state of mind,...

That's a bit broad. Think of this like an interrogation. Ask a question and I'll tell you what my experience is.

Yes I agree. I only smile because it really is a big part of my life.

Have you tried? It takes time, depending on the person and their mind.

Tell you what... with moderators' permission... I would be willing to answer any question you have about my view of the spiritual world. Use me as test subject. Think of me as an alien that just...

I respect you and your belief.

Peace...

If she is not in communication with her parents about this issue then that is a major problem. And, had I been given a chance to share that with her, I would have done so. I completely know and...

You underestimate the ability of God to lead a simple child to accomplish the task He set before them. She doesn't understand yet who she is, and she certainly won't if she takes some of the advice...

I understand. But, based on what she said... I believe she was telling the truth.

Yes, I absolutely agree. I value other people's viewpoints and belief systems. Heck, I've "owned" a few of them...

Led correctly, she will do great things for God... leading wayward souls to God.

We are the hands and feet of all-mighty God. He uses us to accomplish His will on this earth. What is she doing...

I agree that the parents need to know their child is asking about these things on the internet and that the child needs to be dealing with her parents on this, but for the love of God, it's...

Of course it flies in the face of Christianity and what you've been taught. That applies to me as well. But my experience of these things are very real to me, whether people believe it is...

I'm not going to re-hash the thread, delve into semantics, nor play a blame game, because it will probably just get this one closed. For the record though, just because you agreed with someone about...

This one:

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/paranormal-phenomena/seeing-ghosts-what-think-663666.html

It's done now. The thread closed.

I have to admit that I'm pretty uptight right now after seeing recent posts in which an asker was badgered for asking their question about their ability to see ghosts. Actually, I'm more than...

I'm sorry for your loss. I believe the dead can see us and hear us if given the opportunity. If you think it would help you and him, go to a quiet place and tell your father out loud how you feel. ...

Paranormal... lol... well, that is a hobby of mine :)

Peace...

There are a variety of meditation techniques, dependent on the branch of Buddhism. The "counting breaths" meditation is a common Zen technique that I have used. It's very simple:

1. sit in a...

Have you been to an optometrist to have it checked?

There could be many reasons for this to be happening. Rule out all medical reasons, then come see me :)

Peace...

Simple meditation will help you begin to control your thoughts. I recommend the simple Zen technique of counting breaths. There are various sites that can help.

Peace...

I just want to help. It's best to have it looked at it. Have you googled local clinics where you live? I went through rehab too and ultimately it was myself I had to change instead of waiting for a...

You should have a clinic take a look at it. And, while you are there please ask them if they know of a treatment center or medication that you can take to get off the meth. Please... I've seen what...

Is it your belief that the parents have failed God if their children change their religion or have no faith at all?

Isn't that the purpose of a Christian retreat... to deepen their own...

Yes, I can relate to that. I was a super moderator (as a Buddhist) on an inter-faith religious forum and by far the anti-Christian rhetoric surpassed all others, although I tried my best to keep...

I have answered questions.

My point is that most of the religion ones were initiated four years ago and now someone posts to it four years later. I don't want to come off as complaining, I just...

I see so many questions like, "should I text my boyfriend's brother and tell him I love him?" but not many questions at all in the religion section. Does everyone else see that too? The questions...

Well, I suppose that you would have to shed your human nature to avoid it altogether. But, until that happens, I suggest mixing 1 part humility with 1 part compassion with a measure of humor to top...

Sorry... double post. I'm tired :)

Peace...

Oh yes, it's extremely difficult. I've had lots of experience with this. It's taken me years to love people who are my "enemies". Once we stop objectifying people as our "enemies" and realize they...

Jesus said it best... "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you"

St. Matthew...

Thank you for the kind words. I like the discussions here and look forward to seeing you around :)

Peace...
