Supernatural

Not a joke at all.

We were in a bit of a financial pickle at the time and within a week of my 'cosmic ordering' a solution presented itself

All across the world, every single day, billions of people are making billions of prayers to their gods.

Statistically speaking even though the vast majority of these prayers go unanswered, it is inevitable that something will hit. 'Answered' prayers are just a statistical anomaly. Nothing more, nothing less.

What the universe presented the opportunity of robbing the corner shop?

Easy to take the piss - something I would have done myself to be honest - but it did sort me out financially (and nothing illegal!).

Maybe it would have done so anyway, I don't know, but for a lifelong sceptic of just about anything and everything, it made me sit up and take notice

He didn't actually say he prayed though, did he?

Same thing

There's a lot of stuff we don't understand and a lot that we don't know especially when it comes to this sort of thing and the power of the mind.

To dismiss it as mumbo jumbo is accepting that there is categorically no way it could have happened.

I like to have an open mind about this sort of thing. I dismissed hypnotherapy and EFT until I tried it worked.

is that a dyslexic tef?

Don't get me wrong, my mind is wide open to the 'mystical' side of stuff. There's loads that we don't know and it's reasonable to expect that we will make some mind blowing discoveries as we learn more about the universe and stuff.

That doesn't mean to say though that everything should be taken seriously. Things like prayers, or whatever you want to call them, have already been all but proven to be worthless on account of the sheer volume of the times that they just don't work. I googled the Noel Edmonds thing and the his house in the sun, for which he gives credit to the universe, was actually bought by himself.

It's a quirk of the human mind and in this case not a dig at KR either. Humans just like to try to put a reason to things even when there is no reason. Derren Brown did a program in it once. Interesting stuff.

Good point well made

I took ketamine once and knew what it felt like to be dead. Never touched the stuff again.

Yeah, but you're a goat, ketamine is for horses.

[jayohaitchenn]

Ketamine is awesome. Try mixing it with cocaine next time.

[Arriba]

I also enjoyed the stuff. Was nearly 20 years ago mind. Felt like walking in sponge .

[Flashheart]

I don't remember doing much walking at all on Ketamine

You're doing it wrong then! It's the best fun trying to walk up and down a long, steep flight of stairs

[Flashheart]

I do miss my drug habits
