Resurection and time

Pretty sure the thing about following Crowley was aimed at me since I suggested they read something from Book 4.

Speaking of which, your response pretty well indicates you didn't so much as look at the link I suggested (either that, or it entirely went over your head), because there's nothing particularly dated about it. It really is just logic itself as it relates to magick and examples thereof.

Numbers 2-4 are simply that "Every successful act has conformed to the postulate," that "every failure proves that one or more requirements of the postulate have not been fulfilled," and that "the first requisite for causing any change is thorough qualitative and quantitative understanding of the conditions." I was seriously just suggesting you approach your magick with logic.

I'm with Lark on this one - you appear to just be grabbing at concepts you don't understand well enough to describe and then just coming to completely unsubstantiated and nonsensical conclusions.

You are right that what we perceive as facts change and evolve over time, but you completely leave out that they change based upon new and proven and re-proven evidence, which goes to what I said about being able to prove this via experiments; what you are saying clashes with known reality, and no responsible or thoughtful person will believe it until you are able to provide some proof that demonstrates it.

When you demonstrate that what you have said is true, we will believe it is true. And if you cannot demonstrate that it is true, this begs the question of why you think it's true.

Instead of pursuing this, try it a different way. It's expected that the astral plane is not as limited in time and space as the physical plane is, so one could project their consciousness to what they perceive as the past. You wouldn't be "transferring" your mind and soul to another vessel because there is no other vessel. There is one physical plane of existence that we actually have proof of. Everything beyond what is proven (tested for in controlled environments and giving of the same results each time) is personal belief and perception.

Alternatively, you could just work with the ghost of your hypothetical loved one.

In the theory of all possibilities having their own reality as I understand it, you have simultaneously already acted out all these realities so there's not much point in shifting because you're already there.

My ref: "One" by Richard Bach

First off, English was derived from many 'core' languages, so it will not be best to use/translate with any original/old text.Time magic is not what you may think. Lots of research, from many sources, is recommended (for any research). There is also a theory about viewing the past, which involves astrally traveling light-years away and 'zooming-in' on the past, but an actual understanding of quantum physics will hint that actual change or travel to the past will not be on the real side of possible. Also, it is really not your call who understands the quantum. As many things, this cannot simply be brushed up on. It must be understood on a serious level. Spitting out stats does nothing for real truth here. With that said, what we perceive does evolve over time, based on new evidence. Who is to say there will be no more evidence to disprove current? And what Brysing says is true, the mods will say/enforce whatever belief is prominent. Belief is often misjudged as fact, simply for lack of contrary evidence. I also agree with versinojos about the closed-minded ness of the site. People they deem 'fluffy' are sometimes, more adept than themselves, and the newer generation suffers for it.
Closed minds don't get fed, simple as that. we keep faith that those who have an ear will hear. Those who don't, simply won't.
