As many of you may be aware of, I don't believe in the 'occult' or the 'supernatural'. Having replied to so many of the topics discussing these type of things, I just want to clarify what I believe in (or not, as the case may be).

[

Sharing dreams - how many times is this mentioned. It can't happen, and never will. One of the limitations of human brains are that they keep themselves to themselves, and as dreams are nothing but a product of the brain, they are individual too. Brains can't inter-communicate directly; that's left to the rest of the body...

Auras - No, no, no! Either you have a visual impairment, are mad, are on LSD or something or you just have a grossly over-active imagination if you see this. Intuition I believe in - the brain subconciously reading body language and the like - but as for people giving off colours, that doesn't happen.

Premonition - coincidence. No man can see into the future without travelling close to the speed of light.

Ghosts - perhaps. I am Christian after all, and I like to think we don't just cease to exist when we die. But I also like to think that heaven is completely seperate from Earth, and that the dead can't visit us, only observe us.

Crystals under the bed - 'Amethysts under the pillow will help you have LDs'. Nonsense, putting it simply, and any success is due to the power of suggestion.

'I believe in the occult because it gives me an excuse/ an excuse not to slash my wrists and be miserable' - this is most certainly true among some cases.

I just want to state that anything within the corner brackets was my opinion, I am not thrusting this stuff on you or 'flaming' or whatever, these are just my replies if I were asked what I thought of such things. If you have opposing views and want to state them or just want to moan at me for being sensible, please do....
