As i said,you may go on with your belief,as people nowadays pay less to no attention to others words and keep on believing what they want.
Its your opinion,I know.But what I stated,that is not an opinion,but reality.
I don't have any experience with pyrokinesis. However, onto the matter of belief, reality, and ect. How do we know it isn't possible? There are many mysteries of the universe, and even our own potential within it. Indeed, I believe things like this are possible, just not for everyone, and perhaps not even possible at this time. Do I believe Emmatre is telling the truth? No, I do not. I have not seen any evidence to support she is, or even that pyrokinesis exists.
However, seeing is not believing. This is a website based around the unseen, the things others can't believe, ect. Without proof of either fact or fiction, saying things like "that isn't real" will only provoke hostility. I've seen time and time again, that people say kinesis is not possible because they have not seen it, there is no proof, or even that they have tried and nothing has happened.
The only 'proof' so far is the scientific research into it, that the mind couldn't produce such energy, or along those terms. This would in fact take out the term of kinesis themselves to some degree. However, we as practitioners as much as we'd like to boast we know what energy can do, we don't. And the fact that perhaps energy, even if its not purely cerebral but instead aimed and controlled by the mind, can cause such things to happen.
I know, this seems all far fetched, it really does. However, there is many mythological, paranormal, and other resources that would state that it may be possible. My point is, if you want to tell someone you do not believe they can do something, do it without claiming you know what is real, because there are many things that we cannot know of being real or not at this point in time, regardless of how many years of practice we have, or what our UPGs say.
Kosmocyde:"and perhaps not possible at this time."
Well,if you look at my reply carefully,i stated that it is not possible right now.Perhaps the same meaning,is it?
Also,the fact you told that the human mind does not produce such energies is not totally true.It is believed that the human subconscious mind is possible behind the cause,but we,humans do not have the full potential to put our subconscious mind into action to that high level.Hence,kinesis is considered to be not possible 'right now'!
Also,this is'nt a thing to debate upon.It will be considered fictional and honestly,people are tired of explaining the same thing again and again and people continue on with thier own belief and give a damn to what others say.So,you may believe what you want and do what you want,just don't pollute the forums and the minds of newbies.
I was referring to the whole "not possible through magick" comment you stated above. I did see you said not possible within the human development right now. Whether it is considered fictional or not, doesn't mean it is fictional, plane and simple. Many mythologies are considered fictional by a thousands of people, and yet there are many here who consider the mythology of their path either fully true, or partially. Stating you are right, and your beliefs are truer than others, doesn't make them so. I think arrogance is a much more potent pollution, after all.
emetre. Of course you may believe whatever you wish. But please don't state an opinion as though it is a fact!
Your profile gives your location as Hogwarts. Oh,dear!
As you also say you can extinguish a flame by your Mind; your local fire chief would love to hear from you!
Oh i might have been a wicket witch,because i considered staying in hogwarts is fictional,but you proved me wrong!With that fact,i am sure you might be able to do anything,even control fire with your wand?
As for arrogancy,you are greatly appreciated!At such fluffy topics,it is better to be blunt and arrogant than be fluffy and live in fantasy world!Arrogancy can be seen in you!
What i believe,i did'nt state that it is right.The fact is,it is not a belief nor opinion,but reality.If i believe that the earth is not round but rectangular,then that does'nt make it so.
Grow up!Use your common sense and see the reality.
The difference being that the earth's shape can be proven and determined, while such other things can't. ;) Which is my whole point kid. Common sense is not common, its a fact. What is common to some is not common to all. I am saying it can't be proven wrong or right which by definition can't make it fact, reality, or however you wish to say it. As I already said, do I think emmatre is telling the truth? NO. But I accept I don't know everything, and that not everything in the world is known, and that no matter how slim of a chance there is, there is still one.
I will point out that there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that one can start a fire through use of the mind alone. Furthermore, I will caution here that role-playing is not permitted on this site and can wear out your welcome here.
