Anyone else seeing 11:11 or strings of 1's a lot lately?

Kevin, can you point me in the right direction of where a skeptic has told people to ignore their "gut feeling?"

Sure .. http://www.skepdic.com/

Thanks. I browsed through that and didn't find any information on ignoring your "gut feelling." Being wary of "intuitives" (i.e. psychics) yes, ignoring one's gut feeling? No. Could you be more specific please?

Harry Houdini ignored his gut feeling after he allowed some jock to bust his gut with his fists. And he died because of it. See what happens when you ignore your gut feeling?

Very funny indeed.

and like always.. you are miss informed and showing how ignorant you are
the guy pounched Houdini before warning him
there's a way of receiving a punch in your gut and not getting harm
because you know nothing about magic (or any other topic),
you think he just stood there and received the punch
no... that wasnt the case

He should have seen a doctor before the incident. He should have seen a doctor after the incident. But he ignored it, travelled and performed a show. Ignoring it until it was too late. It's probably not a good idea to agree to be sucker punched in the first place.

You're right again Kevin! It's NOT a good idea to agree to get sucker punched. Harry didn't agree to it though and if he did, it wouldn't be a "sucker" punch, now would it?

[Kevin Kane]

He agreed to be punched, but the kid was too eager and landed 3 hard blows before Harry could prepare. Harry wasn't expecting sucker punches, but he agreed to it.

i agree

i fail to see the entertainment on that one
seems more like a macho stunt

I'm thinking that would be a good name for skeptic debunkers.

We're not Ghostbusters.
We're not Mythbusters.
We're Gutbusters.

Speaking of ones here is something that my one sister found somewhere sirfing the net (not sure where she got it). From what she told me and yes I did the math in vain to try to prove her wrong and she was right about this. If you were born after 1900 and add the age YOU WILL BE this year with the year you were born you will get all ones. Example if you were born in 1980 you would add the age you turned or already turned to 80. If I was born in March of 1980 I would add 80 to the age I am or will be this year 31. 31+80=111. If I was born in 1955, 55+56=111. If I was born in 1907, 104+7=111. If you were born after 2000 then the sum will be two ones instead of three. If someone was born in 2001, 10+1=11. Born in 2005, 6+5=11.

Of course. Think about it..

Did you figure it out yet? I promise you, you'll go "d'oh!" when you do!

Good God! I thought this Cult Group died out a decade ago.

There are members of the Pagan Community that detest these idiots, warning everyone they meet about how DANGEROUS they are; not just as a cult but based on some of the rituals they perform and symbols they use, its "Magickally" Dangerous!

I guess the leadership is making far too much money on the concept. . . it first shows up in the 80's as a blink on the horizon tied to some kind of Harmonic Convergence -- the opening of the first gateway or some such. In the early 90s they were in the Nevada dessert teaching people that they were Angels; members raving about how the real angels would grab them and toss them about, to help them learn how to fly . . . hold that thought. . .

Anyone here ever study the Old Testament?

Angels are a race unto themselves -- they have no "free will" and are androgynous (not my words, but the Bibles and most all of Hebrew Mystical teaching). The idea that human being turn into Angels is a myth started through the Church (if my memory is right) just a few hundred years ago, applying it mainly to children that have not reached puberty. However, a theology student would realize that this makes no sense; Angels envy humanity because we do have Free Will. They likewise loathe "Man" because we deny God. . . we strive to raise ourselves above God (again, this is in the bible. . . kindof prophetic, don't you think?).

The Geometric lay-out and symbols used by this group come hauntingly close to those associated with the Necrocomicon -- the darkest of dark magick according to most occultists (and most of them are smart enough to leave it alone -- an no, I'm not talking about a certain collection of Tall Tales and Mad Arabs -- the novel -- rather, the legendary book whatshisname used as the cornerstone for building the story). This is why so many educated members of the Occult/Pagan community distrust this particular New Age stupidity movement.

Hi Craig,

So you are saying that there is a real book of magic by the title of Necronomicon?

What is your source on that? I find it highly interesting and would like to know more about the history of this book.

I am only familiar with the entirely fictional book by that name featured in the works of H.P. Lovecraft.

Regards, Canis

Back in the 70's said book was in print and found in the Occult section of most bookstores & libraries. I'm uncertain as to where you may find it these days or if it's still in print. I've seen a couple of different versions of it as happenstance but never took much time to actually read through the material.
