I can't remember who said this, but it was something along the lines of "there is no such thing as impossible, only highly improbable"

Probably. But still - for irl occultism yeah don't count on wormholes appearing, it's not really gonna happen.

I know its "technically" possible for all the air molecules in a room to suddenly squish over to one side, right? It's just so unlikely to happen that it likely won't before the heat death of the universe?

I really don't get what you're getting at but yes, I suppose.

there aren't impossibilities with inductive logic, but there are with deductive logic; if you accept the law of identity, i~≡i is a contradiction in terms

This discussion is exactly what the metaphysical channel should be, glad to see it. Has anyone here ever read the Kybalion or the much older hermetic texts?

I agree, that was a great discussion; hope more of these to come'

its like how in theory all the molecules in a wall and all the moleculew can line up in such a way that the space between the moleculew would let you just phase through the wall, except realistically it would only last for .0000000001 seconds and you cant predict when

Hermeticism is an ancient occult religion, I am not a scholar or anything on it but what I do know is quite fascinating when paired with Tulpamancy.
9:25 PM
The main thing of note is that they believe the universe exists in the mind of God, so on a macrocosmic scale we are all thoughtforms/tulpas

I see'. I did heard about hermeticism being like occultist Christianity but don't know much besides it
9:29 PM
What's that book you mentioned, the Kybalion?
Avatar
Candlelight Society 🕯 2/6/2022 9:31 PM
Its a recent tome that caused a Renaissance in hermeticism. It isn't all that accurate to the old scriptures but it has the essential essence mixed with semi modern philosophy. It was a major player in 20th century occultism

Ooh, I see. Sounds interesting.

Hermeticism wasn't a religion in and of itself, was it? I thought it was more of a philosophy. The Hermetic Order was open to all religions afaik

I'm not sure but it does have some ties into christianity iirc

It was sorta both, a religion that drew from other religions and was fine with other faiths
10:24 PM
a non dogmatic open religion basically.

If there are people who worship fictional gods from ancient scriptures, there should be also people who worship fictional gods from anime.

In all seriousness, I wouldn't be surprised if there are people who genuinely celebrate goddesses from animes. I don't know if there are enough to form a church group, but- On second thought how many religions from animes would even encourage a church group? Otherwise, I know a soulbond who is seriously devoted to her goddess, which is based on Skyrim iirc. I wouldn't be surprised if other soulbonds had other strong devotions to gods/goddess from their fiction

I'm sure the useless goddess would like to be worshipped.

Whats the point of worshipping a useless goddess?
11:15 AM
she cannot neither hurt you or gift you anything
11:16 AM
afaik people worship gods either out of fear or simply wanting something
11:16 AM
you pray to JHWH to not get eternally damned
11:17 AM
you pray to Dionisos (Bachus) to have lots of grapes and good wine next year

you offer your disabled son's life to Quetzacoatl because you fear of him

So, turns out when chaos magick says "all religions are based on faith n such and aren't real until someone believes in them" it creates a uh loophole

You can just make your own religion

I'd volunteer to write them some new jokes. Even 'knock knock' jokes would be better. But I'm well aware they just won't take it.
