Itâs often the case that the only people who will find a thing believable are those whoâve had a similar experience themselves, so anyone trying to create, through ridicule, the idea there is a normative kind of level which is accepted, and anything else is going to be mocked, is going to be challenged on that - if not by me, hopefully someone else. I think by 2021 we all know what a powerful weapon ridicule can be.
Your reply may have been in the form of a joke, but please donât make that again when a response is being offered, in good faith, of accounts shared by other people. If I let people make that kind of response with me (as a mod) it just sends the message no-one is safe.
Remember that is a magick forum - not a knitting forum, not a petrolhead forum, not a pew-pew forum.
So the vast majority of things cannot be proven with photos, even if they were magick for a material result.
All we have to go on is words, and common sense, and itâs more helpful to suggest tools by which people can hone their discrimination (such as this essay, âMagic needs a curious mindâ) than taking a point-and-laugh approach.

Well, I think that confirms the ridicule of our community success-story repository was, indeed, not being done in good faith. 
Also, banned.

George R. R. Martin is not yourâŚ
Oh, right. Sorry, I was channeling Neil Gaiman.
That escalated quickly, by the way.

That was rather hilarious
Magick seems to require some self discipline
Where the fuck was it? I got the joke they made in that some big claims are made and skepticism is worth it till you have direct experience or gnosis
I didnât get how a magickian would flip out so easily over well, THAT
Iâm sure you require a stronger will really than to be swayed so easily into whatever just happened (the behaviour they zoomed into)

That sounds a very successful result
Why on Earth didnât you continue?!
What makes you think paying someone will bring better results than you learning after something like that happening?

Wow lol, what was that personâs problem? That person definitely sounds like they just came on here to pick fights with people, not the most productive person.

HonestlyâŚshe/he sounded like they were in one of the five stages of grief. First comes denial, then anger, then bargaining, depression and lastly acceptance. She was clearly in the anger phase, after denying the existence of magick for so longâŚit angers them that magick is not only real, but incredibly powerfulâŚwhich is why she blew up when @Lady_Eva merely suggested that at least some of whats posted here is probably real.
What newcommers dont understand is that skepticism doesnât serve you well in magick. I agree that in most other circumstances, its best to be skepticalâŚespecially on the internet. But when it comes to magick, your learned brain has no value like it does across all other fields. Thereâs a reason why in groups like the FreemasonsâŚyouâll find a mix of people from all walks of life, from janitors to doctors. Your ability reason and rationalize is not what catapults you to the status of an adept. It is your ability to have a child-like mind that gets you there. That user clearly hasnât figured this out yet, but when they do,âŚi expect theyâll be back under a different username to go through the bargaining phase

Wow. WTF happened there lol, not lol.
Yep even for material results, it could mean photos of bank accounts or very personal photos of other people, which would be both pointless and incriminating in some cases.
What matters is connecting to the experience, and reading what others have experienced is helpful.
I could roll my eyes at someone who says hey âI got a textâ but then the result for that person may throw the gate wide open for other huge events that we donât get to read about.
Itâs like Lady Evaâs description of finding a penny on the street being an emissary of all money and wealth. You either âgetâ what that penny means or you donât.

I think itâs a fair warning and does serve well in magick even for newcomers⌠however you also need to suspend your skeptism and remain open minded enough to get anywhere at all with it. Sometimes it serves to be skeptical in order to find gnosis and sometime it serves to suspend it to build encouragement and belief to even find any gnosis in the first place

I would agree for the most part but donât underestimate your will and emotions. I sent a co-worker to the hospital with an appendicitis as a novice using a sour jar, several personal links and a whole lot of anger.

I donât know, but I like to think Iâm capable of making informed decisions about character- even on a forum.
